Following the Stayer Bonanza of a few months back here are a whole load more stayer images. Once again the celebrity of both the stayer pilots as well as the cyclists themselves comes across. The stayer riders needed great skill to accurately pace their partner cyclist and a good rider knew a trick...

Matt's Kawasaki combo loaded up with folding trailer about to recover a poorly CX500 en route to the Flying Herman's Sidecar Treffen. Who needs the AA? Thanks for the picture Matt.Kwacker combo earning its keep....

Collection of snaps from a family album dated August 1961 of a tour of the Scottish Highlands on a pre-unit Triumph Speed Twin. The captions underneath the images are what is written on the reverse.'Kyle of Tongue - Tongue - Caithness''Pass of Glen Coe. Rannoch Moor from Fort William. Perth.''Pass...

Advertising flyer for the very jet age Berini Super Sport moped from the late fifties / early sixties. Interesting to see at the bottom of the flyer that the importer was Cotton Motorcycles of Gloucester. The Berini name still lives on in its native Holland as a brand name for imported Chinese sco...

Personally my aggravation with ethanol has been minor. I haven't noticed a great deal of difference in running, nothing that a tweak of the carb settings won't cure. What I have noticed are minor foibles, prematurely dying spark plugs on machines that have been left standing. A carb 'varnished' on...

The once noble Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company of Springfield, Massachusetts had to endure many an ignominy before reaching the current revival. The first of these was at the hands of the British Brockhouse company who bought the rights to the name after Indian went under in 1953.Brockhouse...

The time has come around again for a listing of excuses to pack up and head across the Channel on two wheels. Once again I haven't managed to find any decent calendar of continental events online so here is my humble offering. By no means comprehensive the listing has greatly expanded this year though...

A couple of images so clean and staged that they can only be press release photos. Looks like a MkII LE (Little Engine) to me. 200cc of twin cylinder side valve raw power and a hand crank starter. Finely engineered machines and still undervalued.LE Velocette MkII press photo.LE Velocette MkII accessoried...

A 75cc DKW Hobby scooter. The Hobby was notable for being the grandaddy of the current wave of twist and go mini-scoots. The might of the Hobby's 3bhp two stroke motor was harnessed by a primary belt drive constant variable transmission. It must have worked well enough as the Hobby was in production...

Happy New Year to all.Along with a few hundred others I braved wet and windy weather along with a mild hangover to herald the New Year with fellow enthusiasts. Mainly a car turnout but a few two wheelers too. Here is a small smorgasbord of snaps from the morning. Apologies for the scant details on...
