George-Brown-01
Sprint Swansong 1966 - Here Vncent ace George Brown contemplates the bleak runaway ahead. Polish FIM steward, B Matusak, makes the final adjustments to the timing lights. George was approaching his 55th birthday, the maximum age for international licence holders, so he chose to go out with a bang. Over three days in November 1966, with his 247cc Royal Enfielss two stroke, 998cc Vincent Super Nero and 1147cc Extra Nero, he took no less that 16 world and national records.

George-Brown-032
Lond established as Britain's top sprint and record breaker, 56 year old George Brown holds many recoeds with his famous Vincent engined machine. Home built, they are extremely specialised for their requirements , but are rather more a conventional motorcycle than that of Alf Hagon. Concerned more with absolute speed, Browns Machine is streamlined and fitted with a four speed gearbox. While it is not quite as light as Hagon's, it is quite possible that it is potentially the faster of the two, but not quite so accelerative. Brown has achived a flying quarter mile speed of 189mph.

If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwood’s Isle of Man TT return in 1978. Having spent 11 years away from the Island and motorcycle racing, except for the odd race down under, the idea of a TT comeback was considered crazy at best and downright dangerous at worst by some. But they needn’t have worried. If Mike had put in an appearance and just ridden for a finish he would have received a standing ovation. But that wasn’t the Hailwood style. In practice he hustled the Sports Motorcycles Ducati round at 111mph, over 7mph faster than the Formula 1 lap record, and won the race with ease.

1965 – THE ALTERNATIVE VIEW
Scooters and Swinging Britain as seen through the eyes of Motor Cycle magazine

Alternative to what exactly? Well, you may be under the impression that 1965 was a seminal year of pep pill fuelled power pop featuring defining moments in music, fashion and film. But to those over thirty it mattered not a jot that Bob Dylan had gone electric. In this time of far less media saturation than today, it was much easier to create your own reality by restricting your reading matter to publications that confirmed your view of the world and ignoring everything else.
Motor Cycle was one such publication that gave a reassuring impression that nothing had really changed in the last ten years or so. Scooterists were still considered to be a bit daft and it was reported with some glee that Lambrettas running-in instructions included the immortal instruction: “In winter, let the engine idle for some minutes in order to warm up before starting”!
The Isle of Man Scooter Week took place as usual with a couple from Sweden winning the Loving Cup on their SS180. Incidentally, the attendance of 411 scooters was reported as being a record for this event, which rather suggests that some earlier events must have been rather small affairs. As always, any British scooter launch was eagerly reported upon, so the new Triumph T10 was given a fair amount of space and such a machine was won by Heather Desert in the ‘National Personality Girl’ contest. Unfortunately, the T10 was to be the last serious British attempt at a mass produced scooter.
‘Publicity runs’ were still in evidence and a couple of Britons (Bob Forrest Webb and Ian Speller), had carried out a Croydon backed non-stop journey from London to Milan on a GT200. On reaching Milan they posed dressed up as city gents. Other than the scooter itself, the whole episode has more of a feel of 1958 about it rather than 1965.
