December 1985

EDITORIAL - Giving out with just a few seasonal thoughts. BARNABY - If Rudge had still been building bikes in post - war times
the 499cc Ulster might have looked pretty much like AI Greenland's model. SOUTH - WEST NOTES - In which Jeff Clew mentions a Velocette Voletta
and looks at Taunton's motor cycle - making past. PARKINSON: PART TWO - Concluding Patrick Click's profile of Wakefield's Mister Motorcycling. THE HILL CLIMB - That Rudge was a real flyer - but then
it always was.
A seasonal yarn from Ken Griffin. BELLE VUE REVIEW - There was this Show up at Manchester
you see.
We take a quick gallop round
in words and pictures. THE GRIFFUN - Bob Currie tells the story of one man's ambition - to build a vintage - style machine with modern comforts.
Pictures by Jim Davies. TRANSVERSE VEE - TWIN - Continuing the Treasures of the National Motorcycle Museum series
we study the very rare 1931 Model S3 AJS with shaft primary drive. VEE - THREE - Whereby Tim Holmes takes a spin in the Norfolk - built three - wheeler with the Moto - Guzzi power unit. A THOUSAND BIKES - Dropping in on the Vintage M CC's huge gathering at Brands Hatch with notebook and camera. BEAULIEU BONEYARD - Four fields full of bargains.
We visited the biggest autojumble in the world - and so did thousands of others. PRINCIPLES OF RESTORATION - A not altogether serious contribution from John Salis
to be enjoyed over some mulled wine
perhaps. WHEELIN N' DEALIN' - Mike Worthington - Williams charts the run - up to the 'Big One'
and comments on soma provisional figures from Bradford.
