* BSA BANTAM vs MZ ES150: Is this the ultimate battle of the titans? Er, no. Karl Bentley compares two solid little strokers, and decides he likes the blue one best
* BSA M21: It's not fast and it's hardly furious, but Frank Westworth found this 1947 sidevalve single-cylinder slogger to be extremely entertaining
* NORTON DOMINATOR ABROAD: RC reader John Powell took a 1961 Dommi 88 across Canada on a trip of a lifetime
* NORTON MANX SCRAMBLER: Les Archer was a superstar of the scrambles scene in the 1950s and his most famous bike was a cammny Norton single. Here's how he tamed the bike which Norton themselves gave up on...
* TRIALS TRIUMPHS: A huge amount of work goes into building D&C's pre-65 trials specials. Martin Peacock discovered just how much work goes into creating these TR5T-based machines

PLUS: Steve Wilson goes Down The Road to explore the history of the BSA Group in the 1950s; the Triumph Metisse project nears its end; Humbernut finishes making a cylinder from scratch; PUB looks at post-war lighting; Dave Minton remembers Rab Cook; and Frank Westworth celebrates his Ariel success
