| Bill Lomas -
World Champion Road Racer
Unfortunately Bill recently passed away (August 14th, 2007) Bill Lomas started racing in the
immediate postwar years while still a schoolboy. He
went on to be a works rider for Royal Enfield, Velocette, AJS, Matchless,
NSU, MV Agusta, Benelli and Moto Guzzi. This book, written in his own words,
tells it the way it was, with behind the scenes activity, the highs and the
lows of motorcycle racing in the "Golden Years" and more. He paints a vivid
picture of what it was like to race with the great names of the period until
his retirement in 1958.It is an amazing story and told with great humour and
the deep knowledge of someone who was there.
This is a complete history of the Triumph Terrier and Tiger Cub motorcycles
from the first prototypes in 1952 to the last BSA-built machines in 1967.
Author Mike Estall is the Tiger Cub and Terrier Marque Specialist for the
Vintage Motor Cycle Club, has owned and/or restored many Tiger Cubs and
Terriers and runs a worldwide information service for owners, so he is
uniquely qualified to write this comprehensive history of Triumph`s postwar
lightweights. |

| BSA, Unit
Construction Twins- The Complete Story by Matthew
Vale The BSA Unit Twin range was launched in the early 1960s, and remained in production until the demise of BSA in 1973. They never attracted quite the plaudits heaped on their Triumph equivalents, but they were robust, popular machines, beloved of tourers, racers and off-roaders alike. Powered by parallel-twin engines of 500 and 650cc, they were, until the arrival of the three- cylinder Rocket, BSA’s top-of-the-range machines. The author has written the first full-length book
to deal with the BSA A50 and A65 Unit-twin range. He gives us history, full
specification details, year-by-year changes, competition fortunes and riding
experiences. Also described is the complete restoration of a bike – a 1965
Lightning bought especially for this book.
From 1937, when the first Gold Star made its debut at Brooklands, to 1962
when production ceased, the Gold Star BSA had a loyal band of followers, Why
this should be is told inthis excellent book by respected motorcycle
historian Mick Walker, who tells the whole story of the Gold Star and its
competition successes. |
