Die Rennmaschinen Von AJS & | Historie Die Rennmaschinen von AJS & AMC Teil 1 Text: Jürgen Kießlich | Fotos: Jürgen Kießlich / Archiv | AJS E90/95 „Porcupine“ ein Rennklassiker Bereits 1897 baute die Firma das erste „Stevens-Motorrad“ in einem kleinen Betrieb der Stevens Screw Co. Ltd. in Wolverhampton. Begründer waren die fünf Brüder Albert John, Harry, George, Jack und Joe Stevens. Es wurden weitere Modelle entwickelt, Jack Stevens erzielte damit auch Erfolge bei Wettbewerben. Somit kam es zur Vergrö- ßerung des Unternehmens unter der Bezeichnung A. J. S. (die Initialen von Albert John Stevens) und es wurde ab 1909 in der Retreat Street neu firmiert. Damit begann die interessante Geschichte einer aufblühenden Motorradmarke mit vielen hochkarätigen Erfolgen und tollen Maschinen für den Normalverbraucher und auch für den Motorrad- sport in breiter Facette. wurde sie von Beginn an umgangs- sprachlich als „Kettel“ betitelt, das war im Prinzip der Urahn der „Boy Racer“. Bereits hier begann sich der geschäftliche Untergang der Firma abzuzeichnen. Stevens war der star- ken Konkurrenz mit seiner eigenen Modellpalette nicht mehr gewach- sen. Somit wurde die Firma, an die Brüder Harry und Charles Collier veräußert. 1931 übernahm „Match- less“ die Firma bis schließlich der Firmenverbund 1937 von AMC (As- sociated Motor Cycles) und Norton- Villiers vereint wurde. Hier führten die Collier-Brüder ihre Marken Match- George, Jack, Harry und Joe jun. Stevens 1921 less, Sunbeam und AJS zusammen. Trotz des Zusammenschlusses von Matchless und AJS wurden aus Tra- ditionsgründen noch unter der alten Firmenbezeichnung weitere Modelle Albert John Stevens 1911 mit dem 350-cm³-Modell für den Straßenverkehr und auch für den Sport entwickelt und verkauft.

  • Grand Prix World Tour 2014
    IVAO GP World Tour 2014 Grand Prix World Tour 2014 You are more than welcome on the Grand Prix World Tour 2014! The 2014 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season will be the 66th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Created by: Laszlo Geller (VID: 260564) IVAO GP World Tour 2014 What is Grand Prix? Boasting 63 years of history, MotoGP™ is the oldest of all motorsports World Championships - its first annual competition having been held in 1949.From the early 1900s motorcycle Grands Prix were held in various countries and in 1938 the predecessor to the current FIM, the FICM (Fédération Internationale des Clubs Motocyclistes), announced a European Championship. However, the start of the Second World War interrupted the competition and it then took some time after the war for fuel to become available, before a truly international series could be created. EARLY DAYS When the first formal World Championship was held in 1949 Grand Prix racing comprised four solo classes, with the inaugural ‘premier class’ 500cc title being won by British rider Leslie Graham on AJS machinery. Another Brit, Freddie Frith (Velocette) took the first ever 350cc World title, while Italians Bruno Ruffo (Moto Guzzi) and Nello Pagani (Mondial) were the first 250cc and 125cc World Champions respectively. A 600cc sidecar championship in the same season was won by Britons Eric Oliver and Denis Jenkinson with Norton machinery, though the sidecar category became a 500cc competition in 1951. The Italian manufacturers such as the aforementioned Mondial and Moto Guzzi firms, along with companies such as Gilera and MV Agusta, dominated the World Championships during the 1950s, reflecting the strength of the country’s motorcycle industry at the time.

Usciamo con un nuovo numero in occasione della Pasqua, la festa che inaugura la bella stagione ed ha per molti un signifi- cato religioso importante. Le giornate più lunghe e un clima decisamente più mite ci ri- cordano che le lunghe vacanze estive non sono lontane. Il giornalino che oggi vede la luce prende il via da un’intervista alla nostra vicepreside, la Prof.ssa Bonaldo, che abbiamo vo- luto conoscere più da vicino; prosegue con un approfondimen- to sulla festività pasquale, sui suoi simboli e sulla primavera, con delle simpatiche composizioni poetiche di alcuni nostri a- mici. Una interessante riflessione sulla figura della donna chiude la prima parte del giornalino. La seconda è occupata da alcuni incontri con i rappresentanti delle forze armate Italiane: GdF e Bersaglieri, dal racconto di alcune belle esperienze fatte in questo periodo di scuola, tra cui ricordiamo quella organizzata dalle docenti di lingua straniera in collaborazione con l’Istituto alberghiero “C.F.P”, l’uscita a Ca’ Dotta per il progetto su alco- lismo e tabagismo e il viaggio di istruzione all’isola D’Elba. Ma non è tutto: spazio è stato dedicato anche all’informatica, allo sport, alla geografia, alla presentazione di un bel libro e alle immancabili “quattro risate”. Non ci resta che augurarvi buona lettura del nostro “Pellicorriere” e buona Pasqua! La redazione Prof.ssa Eloisa Bonaldo, rapporto, però la vedo poco e Da quanti anni fa questo la- quanto è importante il suo la sento per lo più al telefono.

  • 2013 ANNUAL REPORT from the Chair
    Certifying fundraising executives Setting standards in philanthropy CFRE International Annual Report 2013 From the Chair As I think about 2013 at CFRE International, the word that comes to mind is “change.” Changes in the fundraising profession—and changes that CFRE International has undertaken in order to fulfill its mission of certifying fundraising professionals aspiring to the highest standards of ethics, competence and service to the philanthropic sector. One of the biggest changes in the fundraising James Caldarola, CFRE profession is that it has grown to be truly CFRE Chair, 2013 international in scope. As CFRE International’s periodic Job Analysis research report has consistently demonstrated, 85% to 90% of what fundraisers do is the same the world over. This fact has caused a significant amount of serious discussion over the past several years among members of CFRE International’s Board of Directors as we have considered how best to reflect this reality within the CFRE credential. The result: In June 2013, the CFRE credential went global. Using the same Test Content Outline, the CFRE International Exam Committee developed a new version of the exam that focuses on the shared core of fundraising tasks and knowledge that unite fundraisers worldwide. This change was evolutionary—not revolutionary—and we’re confident that this global exam brings real value to holders of the CFRE by making the credential even more internationally recognized, credible, and portable. CFRE International’s transition at the same time to computer-based testing around the world also has increased exam accessibility. Now, fundraising professionals in more than 80 countries can take the exam near where they live and earn the CFRE credential.
