Under the hammer

Horse Power • Ariel had done exceptionally well with competition models intended to be used by sporting riders in all disciplines but post-Second World War specialisation was coming.

SOME HISTORY

STEPPING UP TO THE MARK

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Lightly recommissioned • A competition bike which survives mostly original for nearly 40 years is a remarkable thing. We check out this OSSA TR303 which covered the briefest mileage before being laid up.

AL SPAN MOTORCYCLES

On top of the world • Winning a world title is only easy at the end while the road to the easy bit is often a little tricky. We take a look at Neil Hudson’s title-winning year.

Mostly original and almost unrestored • Barn finds are the subject of folklore in motorcycling. Everyone has heard of them but few turn up as original as this Greeves.

Basingstoke Bulto Bash • Bultaco Club UK members were poised to fire into action when Covid restrictions were eased with their gathering at Basingstoke.

History lesson • As ABBA so memorably sang in Waterloo - "... history… is repeating itself...!"

WHO IS JOHN DICKINSON?

Vets MXdN is back! • On the ‘must do’ list for many MXers the ‘Vets’ was just one of many events affected by Covid in 2020.

Out to grass • Some bikes are destined to be survivors: for whatever reason they’re used briefly and then parked up and forgotten.
