Classic Bike

IT’S ALL IN THE PLANNING

Like the new GOLD STAR? • Retro 650cc single is the first fruit from the resurrection of BSA. Is it worthy of the name?

Keeping Bantams Indoors • In the winter of 1971-72, a couple of enterprising promoters in the Midlands trialled a new form of indoor motorcycle racing...

Tony Jefferies 1948-202 • Competing on motorcycles was a family business that was in the blood of this multiple TT winner and former Triumph factory rider

I took a shine to these two • Funnily enough, Malcolm Black likes colourful, shiny bikes – and loves riding them as well

Welcome to a Welshman

Break out of hibernation • Wake up and warm up for the season to come at one of these winter turn-outs

STANDING OUT A MILE • Robert Nightingale and Jonny Cazzola have been running the Malle Mile, an ‘inappropriate motorcycle race’, since 2015 – but they’ve been into riding classics for longer. They told us the tales of their latest rides: a Dot and a BSA Super Rocket

Malcolm Linsley • The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club chairman explains how he was put off British bikes, what stops younger people from joining clubs and why he got Kevin Schwantz arrested by Stormtroopers

Taz mania • Tazio Nuvolari was crazy about racing from boyhood and was the man to beat on four wheels 90 years ago. The Italian legend won the Targa Florio, Italian championship and European Grand Prix Championship in 1932. But prior to racing cars, he was also a formidable motorcycle racer

Achille’s last stand • Tazio Nuvolari is regarded as one of legendary figures in Italian motorsport, but there was a time when his fellow countryman Achille Varzi matched him for success on motorcycles

NOTABLY Norton • A snapshot tour through some of the British marque’s landmark achievements – some well known, others slightly more obscure. Focusing on the men and machines that made Norton great

GETTING INTER THE REAL THING • Miles McCallum describes his Norton International as ‘a wonderfully intact sports bike, when most ended up being modified for racing’. Here’s how he went about buying, sorting and riding such a prized machine

FROM THE SANDS of TIME • How the bike Dick Klamfoth rode to victory at Daytona Beach 70 years ago was restored by a famous Norton guru – and how a CB man got to ride it more recently

BIG TIME • The final act of Norton’s Dominator drama played out in 1962, with the launch of their largest ever twins – the 650SS and the 750 Atlas

IMMORTAL COMBAT • It’s 50 years since Norton’s Combat engine earned a reputation for disastrous unreliability. These days, though, it doesn’t have to be like that. Paul Smith’s 1972 Roadster has covered 86,000 miles and counting...

LIGHTING UP THE TRACK • Ciggy-sellers John Player backed a Norton factory team return to the track 50 years ago, but it was the design genius of Peter Williams that made the Commando anything like competitive

Classic Workshop • Spannering supremo Rick Parkington...
