It has a three-speed Sturmey Archer rear hub and clutch which makes riding it a lot easier. Best pre-1950 machine at our Ashford Show on Easter Monday 2017. 1913 Zenith Gradua 90 Bore 996 Pre 1950 Bike Details: Built at Weybridge, Surrey, to the special order of Hal Hill, it lived on Monument Hill, Weybridge until 1953 when it was obtained by the present owner. Used by Hal Hill at Brooklands and many long-distance rallies before & after the First World War and last used by him in 1925. Fitted with the Gradua Gear, designed by Freddie Barnes in 1908 and fitted by Zenith until 1925. Zenith were barred from competing in the same classes as machines without variable gears, hence from 1910 the Zenith Trade Mark included the word BARRED. Capable of about 70 mph on the track, it's fitted with the JAP sidevalve engine, with 90mm bore x 77.5 stroke. It also has the large belt pulleys giving a variation from 3 to 1 in top gear, down to 6 to 1 in low gear.

Based on a G6 'Big Port' using catalogued race parts to produce a road-going replica of the works TT race machines. The 349cc 'Big-Port' AJS was the most successful race machine of the twenties, even winning the 500cc Senior TT in 1921. This example was raced when new into the 1930's and retained its original, very apt, Devon registration number when restored in 2005. Since restoration, it's been used on club runs, hill climbs, sprints and events at Brooklands museum and Kop Hill Climb. A twist-grip throttle and ball-ends to the levers were fitted to comply with modern ACU competition regulations. 1926 Zenith Blackburn Model 20 Pre 1950 Competition / Special Bike Details: Raced at Brooklands from 1926 to 1928 by FC 'Freddie' Millar (Millars Motors of Mitcham). 1927 Norton 18 490 Pre 1950 Bike Details: Recently restored, this 1927 model 18 has been on a long road to get to this condition.

  • Triumph Motorcycles Timeline the Glory Years, 1963-1972
    6/18/2021 Triumph Motorcycles Timeline: The Glory Years, 1963-1972 Triumph Motorcycles timeline 1963-1972: The Glory Years See bottom of page for links to other eras in Triumph's history New: Post your comments, opinions, and ask questions on my new FORUM. Tiger 90, high performance 350 3TA introduced, similar to T100S/S. All 650s, (including Bonnies, 1963 Tbirds, TR6, Trophy) are built with a new unit construction engine/gear box. Tina T10, 100cc scooter with automatic transmission introduced (designed by Turner). The US-only TR6SC, a pure desert racer with straight pipes, was produced: basically a single-carb T120, very fast. 650s all get new coil ignition. First year for T120 unit construction models. The Bonnie undergoes numerous and significant upgrades to its engine, gearbox, transmission and frame (after toying with a duplex design, Triumph instead made a larger diameter downtube to combat wobble and weave). A special TT model (T120C/TT) is produced until 1967 for the USA, due to the encouragement of Bill Johnson, of Johnson Motors ("Jo-Mo"). This is a stripped-down racing model, only made until 1966 for the US market. Two US dealers on a camping trip come up with the idea for the T20M Mountain Cub, combining Tiger Cub, Sports Cub and trials Cub parts. First sold in USA in 1964, proves very successful. BSA closes the Ariel factory at Selly Oak. The last Ariels in production, the Leader and Arrow, are manufactured at BSA's factory in Small Heath until 1965. Norton Atlas released. AMC acquires James. Norman ceases production.

  • Second World War Relative Decline of Uk Manufacturing 1945-1975, Viewed Through the Lens of the Birmingham Small Arms Company Ltd
    AN EXAMINATION OF THE POST- SECOND WORLD WAR RELATIVE DECLINE OF UK MANUFACTURING 1945-1975, VIEWED THROUGH THE LENS OF THE BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS COMPANY LTD by JOE HEATON Volume 1: Text A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Lifelong Learning The University of Birmingham July 2007 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This is a study of the decline and collapse, in 1973, of the Birmingham Small Arms Company Ltd, primarily a motorcycle manufacturing company and pre-WW2 world market-leader. The study also integrates and extends several earlier investigations into the collapse that concentrated on events in the Motorcycle Division, rather than on the BSA Group, its directors and its overall strategy. The collapse of BSA was due to failures of strategy, direction and management by directors, who were not up to running one of Britain’s major industrial companies after it was exposed to global competition. While the charge, by Boston Consulting and others, that the directors sacrificed growth for short term profits was not proven, their failure to recognise the importance of motorcycle market share and their policy of segment retreat in response to Japanese competition, played a large part in the decline of the company.

  • Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2016 08
    A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 31. No 8. August 2016 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: Thank you very much and well done to Gavin and Kevin for their sterling work at the CMC 1000 Bike show. Also thank you to everybody that brought a bike and helped to man the stand. The DJ Remembrance ride happened in June, the attendance was rather disappointing. The ride however was fantastic and thanks to Neville and Roly for organising this. With rising cost it was decided that from next year we will only produce one plaque, this will be fixed onto the motorcycle for the ride and then onto the remembrance wall. On 20th August we will be having a boot sale at the Clubhouse, this is a Saturday afternoon and you are most welcome to bring those obscure bits that is cluttering your workshop and come and strike a deal with somebody that needs that bit. AGM is fast approaching, if you are prepared to stand on the committee please make it be known. The VMC would like to welcome new member Graham Bartram Safe Riding Pierre 1 Past events: TOP AWARD AT 1000 BIKES SHOW GOES TO MAIN ATTRACTION By Roger Houghton Russel Taschner’s magnificent, 1913 Clyno motorcycle, which was billed as the main attraction at the recent 1000 Bikes Show at Germiston High School, turned out to be the Best Bike on Show too.
