Early-Trial-Riding-in-the-Lake-District-01 
 At the summit of Blea Tarn Pass with the lofty Langdale Peaks in the background. A group of the successful riders who reached the top of this notorious Pass from Great Langdale. To the fore of the group is a Sunbeam, presumably the one ridden by T Rutherford who showed how it should be done; while the sidecar is most likely a Sunbeam also -perhaps that of Macdonald, though it seems Rutherford may have actually driven it to reach the summit. Other sidecar outfits (including Captain TD Craig's 6hp AJS, driven on this section by J J Dias) made it up, as did several other machines, with among those mentioned the 2½hp Clyno of R Pape, who made one of the best ascents of the day.

 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.

 In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!

MORTONS ARCHIVE > Mortons Archive Print Collection > Scootering Classics (2 files)

This collection from our archive shows off some of the classic scootering scenes from the 50's onwards. Many of these images have appeared with the Scootering Magazine as a centrespead.
WD181611@SS P54 - 03 
 In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!
