This ex-works machine was part of the factory’s bid to set a new 24-hour speed record at Montlhéry in France in May 1952. Mechanical problems scotched that attempt, but the British team came back with eight other records, including riding for six hours at over 100mph. Image courtesy of Double Red.

Welcome to classic Britain
If you knew you were never going to die, would you still believe in your God? We recently put this question to a Muslim friend of ours who had to think for a minute and cluck his tongue a couple of times before finally deciding that no, he probably wouldn't.
"What would be the point?" he said.
Which kinda sums up the whole religious paradigm, doesn't it? People believe in God, or Allah, or Jehovah, or whoever simply because it's a hedge against mortality. It's the final desperate hope of men and women headed towards an indifferent eternity. It’s the existential fingernails of the human race sliding down the walls of inevitable extinction.
On the day after Lee Rigby, a 25 year old British soldier, was murdered on a London street in broad daylight (as if that really makes a difference), the entire question of "faith" has come under renewed scrutiny.
Now we hear calls for the various communities to come together and not do what the so-called "terrorist killers" wanted the communities to do, which is to descend into urban warfare and backlash and spill blood in an orgasmic religious fervour in the name of the great prophet.
But communities? Plural? Shouldn't that be community, singular? Fact is, this ongoing divisive multicultural experiment is likely to simply throw up new and inventive ways for the sickos, the scumbags, the fanatics, the losers, the no-hopers, the extremists and the general dross of humanity to indulge their primal need for attention, recognition and approbation.
"In short, we need to get the
soldiers out
The Muslim community is said to be shocked and is largely distancing itself from this "act of barbarism", to quote Home Secretary, Theresa May. And even if it's true that this community is not directly responsible, it is nevertheless indirectly at least partly to blame for providing the long grass within which the hatchet-wielding, new-age, Koran-thumping, bomb-throwing medievalists hide and find succor.
No, we're not advocating hate for any "community". Far from it. But we are suggesting that the rampant evil of organised religion is not something that can be tolerated any longer in a civilised country or, for that matter, in the civilised world. In an age of suitcase-sized nuclear weapons, it's simply too dangerous. Sooner or later, something very big will go bang.
The time to get the troops out of the Middle East and Afghanistan is long overdue. This isn't, after all, a winnable military war that can be campaigned on a conventional battlefield. This is an ideological apocalypse that needs to be fought not with smart bombs and drones and air strikes and boots on the ground, but with relentless corrective propaganda.
In short, we need to get the soldiers out and get
Saatchi and Saatchi in.
And we urgently need to stop paying lip-service to it.
Nick Griffin of the British National Party called Islam "a nasty, vicious faith". Well they're all pretty nasty and vicious when given enough rope. Look at the Spanish Inquisition. Look at purges in India and elsewhere in the Far East. Look at Nazism and communism, which are just religions of a different kind.
The UK, and other Western nations, have paid out far too much of that rope in recent years and needs to start jerking some leads. Bigtime.
This
soldier—this man—is dead not simply because a couple of deluded
But has the UK government, and other Western governments, really got the stomach to take on this fundamental schism in British society?
Probably not, we figure. Not yet, anyway. — Dexxion
DomiRacer set for auction
Long established and world class US parts distributor, DomiRacer, is being sold off and broken up.
The liquidators have moved in following the announcement by Reba Schanz, widow of DomiRacer founder Bob Schanz, that she wants out.
And why shouldn't she? Reba's been running the classic motorcycle business since 2003 when husband Bob (former editor of defunct Cycle magazine) died, and like the rest of us, she isn't getting any younger.
Cincinnati based DomiRacer Accessory Mart began in 1969. The business set sail slightly ahead of the classic bike boom of the 1970s and 1980s and soon established itself as a purveyor of prime parts and performance paraphernalia for British and European motorcycles built between 1930 and 1980. The firm also created an advanced ordering system and quickly networked with businesses around the world that were looking for the right part at the right price.
DomiRacer largely sourced its vast supply from collections across the USA, and further afield. Where parts were unavailable, the firm recreated them and reintroduced over 500 items to the market.
Now the liquidators have the onerous job of dismantling the business and realising as much cash as it can. On offer are over 26,000 parts lines, a 30,000 square foot warehouse, and six staff who are out of a job unless someone wants to take on the business as a going concern.
And you'd think that that would be quite likely. The DomiRacer brand, after all, might not be up there with Gucci and Harley-Davidson, but it's nevertheless squarely on the map and is probably still capable of turning a few pennies. In fact, the total value of the disposal is said to be around $3million, with a parts retail value of around $12million.
We're talking about items for Benelli, BSA, Ducati, Honda, Moto Guzzi, Norton, Triumph, Vincent, plus collectibles, antiques, literature, backlit signage, petrol pumps, British telephone boxes, antique furniture, office equipment, and much more. But we're not sure exactly what stage the disposal is at because the liquidation is well underway, and much of the business is already broken up.
Moreover, someone at the liquidators pressed the wrong button and sent out the incorrect date for the auction which has rippled around the world. But we've just checked and here's the position:
The auction starts on 11th June 2013, with inspection from 8th-10th June 2013.
The liquidators are Liquid Asset Partners:

The auction is being handled by Cincinnati Industrial Auctioneers :

If you're interested in getting a slice of the cake, you'd better be quick. Shame it had to end this way with what feels like vultures flying lazy circles around the corpse, but that's business. Let's be grateful for the 40 years of service that kept thousands of classic bikes on the road.

Ray "Doors" Manzarek: 1939-2013
When it comes to evocative sounds played on the travelling motorcyclist's jukebox, it's hard to beat the opening bars of Riders on the Storm by the Doors. If those haunting notes pouring from the keyboard of Ray Manzarek's signature Vox Continental fail to get your spine tingling, we suggest you talk urgently to your doctor and have your nervous system checked out.
You could be dead.
Over the years, in various cafes and pubs around the country, we've certainly spent a lot of money selecting that particular platter and listening to it over bacon sarnies whilst drinking stewed tea. So it's only right that we give a mention to the man with the magic fingers.
Ray Manzarek was born on 12th February 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, USA and died on 20th May 2013 in Rosenheim, Germany where he was receiving treatment for The Big C.
Together with Jim Morrison, he founded the Doors and helped set the mood and tone for a psychedelic generation entranced by songs such as Break on Through, Hello, I Love You, L.A. Woman and The End.
Ray occasionally took the microphone, notably on the final two Doors albums, and was the keyboard player between 1965 and 1973; the beginning to the end. His fluid, laid-back, bassy style was the perfect compliment to Morrison's poetic and charged lyricism.
Following Morrison's death, the remaining Doors split. Ray became a member of numerous rising musical projects and bands, worked as producer, author and film director.
You can't listen to the Doors without hearing Manzarek, a man who was always overshadowed by his anarchic and unpredictable co-founder. But his contribution to the band was huge, and his music will endure.
Ray was 74 years old. — Dexxion
Indian's "sneak peek" at the Chief
Indian Motorcycles is launching its new 111
cubic inch (1819cc)
The engine was unveiled in March at Daytona, Florida, but the finished bike will hit the streets at Sturgis. The price is just shy of $19,000.
"Choice is coming to American motorcycles" proclaimed the firm in a new "sneak peek" teaser video that seems to have forgotten that Honda, about half a century ago, already provided the Yanks with a lot of choice—while Triumph, even earlier, offered a few alternatives of its own (never mind Victory Motorcycles which are currently being produced by the same parent firm, Polaris Industries).
But let's not quibble. You've got to hype your merchandise if you want anyone to buy it, so good luck to Indian. A little competition to Harley-Davidson can only raise the game. That's the theory, anyway.
The sneak video peek, by the way (images immediately
above),
But wait a minute? Indian Motorcycles? I-N-D-I-A-N? In an age of political correctness, shouldn't that be Native American Motorcycles?
It actually has quite a nice ring to it. Native American Motorcycles. Remember where you first heard that.

Streetfighters magazine closes after
It's nearly always a shame when a magazine shuts.
Magazines are like people; you get to know them, and they get to know you. They frequently develop a loyal and dedicated fan base, and such magazines get under the skin, sometimes right down to the DNA. And that's exactly the case with Streetfighters.
Over 22 years it's established itself and has developed and refined its product, and a generation has grown up with this magazine at the centre of its life.
Only, it takes more than loyal and dedicated readers to keep a publication in the black. And at just £3.99 per copy, Streetfighters wasn't exactly ripping anyone off with the cover price—and thanks to the recession-that-officially-doesn't-exist, advertising revenues had been falling steadily. Finally, publisher Trinity Mirror pulled the plug, and Streetfighters, as a full blown magazine, is dead.
But it's not quite over.
Streetfighters was spawned by Back Street Heroes (BSH) magazine, and it's going back there in the form of a 32-page monthly supplement. Whether that's viable remains to be seen. But BSH has broad shoulders and has stayed the course when other magazine fell by the wayside. And maybe we'll yet see the return of Streetfighters if and when the economy improves.
Anyway, the last issue is #232, the June 2013 issue which is on sale about now, and that's that. The July issue of BSH, #351, will carry the new Streetfighters supplement. We hear that two editorial staff will lose their jobs, but the ad people are staying right where they are.
The Streetfighters crew is sending correspondence to all subscribers to sort out whatever it is that needs sorting. Also, we hear that FighterFest UK, the annual show organised by Streetfighters, will still be going ahead at Donington Park on 21/22 September 2013 and NOT at Warwick Racecourse as previously advertised.

Bruce Main-Smith stops trading
... or, more, accurately, the current owner of the Bruce Main-Smith brand, Don Mitchell, has stopped trading. We need to qualify that because Bruce sold up more years ago than anyone of us here can remember. It's got to be a decade at least (and that's an awful lot of beer sloshing around the old brain cells, hence our inability to be more specific).
At one time, journalist Bruce was the foremost road tester for Motor Cycling and was in the tester's saddle when the magazine closed in 1967. He covered some of the great stories of the age, and was heavily involved in Vincents and Velocettes, and for a while was the chairmen and vice president of the Vincent Owners Club. He wrote and published numerous books and booklets, many of which are still changing hands for respectable sums of money.
He was later one of the pioneers of classic motorcycle literature and reprints and sold everything from books, magazines, service sheets, blueprints, parts lists and photocopies of articles. He traded primarily through the classic bike magazines, but also through clubs and at shows.
The current owner of the business, Don Mitchell, has closed his doors (since 7th May 2013) not because (we're told) the market dried up, or because the competition on the internet was too fierce, but for "other reasons". Whatever that means.
The remaining Bruce Main-Smith/Don Mitchell archive must be considerable, and no doubt Don will be happy to part with all or some of it for a suitable sum of money. We've no idea what that is, and it's possible that Don hasn't thought much about it yet. But if you want to cut a deal, you can reach him on: 0116 277 7669. — The Third Man
Bike Shed custom bike exhibition
It's on for two days only, it's free, and you'll need to get yourself down to Shoreditch in London, EC2 if you want to see what it's all about.
Billed as “A Celebration Of Custom Motorcycles, Art, Photography, Design And Culture”, the show is organised by the Bike Shed Motorcycle Club and will feature a diverse (and even unlikely) range of "badass" customs and street cruisers.
The event takes place on May 18th and 19th 2013, which is a Saturday and a Sunday. Donations are welcome (take a hint) along with whatever business you can do with the trade sponsors and/or supporters—which includes Davida, Deux Ex Machina, Baron's Speed Shop, Redmax Speedshop, and Sideburn magazine.
The venue is The Shoreditch Studios which is very close to the flea markets at Brick Lane and Columbia Road and will suit anyone looking for alternative bric-a-brac and essential junk.
But the Bike Shed event, in its Shoreditch vaulted studio locale, is a little classier with plenty of bike art, parts, riding gear, memorabilia, films and photos on offer or on display. The organisers describe it as "a cavern of all things retro".
Also expect a tattoo parlour, food and drink, a hair salon and an outside courtyard stuffed with motorcycles, custom and otherwise.
The venue address is: The Shoreditch Studios, 37 Batemans Row, London EC2A 3HH. It opens at 11.00am and shuts at 7.00pm. Sounds like a hoot. But parking in that neck of the woods can sometimes be tricky, and if you're coming by bike, bring a decent lock and chain.

AJS-Matchless Club draw 2013
The club is telling us that for just £1 you can win this handsome 1959 500cc Matchless G80 single. Which is true, in theory. But in practice you probably won't win it, but someone will. And that's how it works; you pay your money and you take your chances. Still, one quid (or even a fiver) isn't really going to be missed, and sometimes the wheel of fortune turns in your favour.
The second prize is £250. The third, fourth and fifth prize is a year's membership of the AJSMOC—which sounds a little stingy to us. Actually it sounds very stingy. The punters want something a little more tangible than that, especially if they're currently riding Ariels, BSAs, Nortons, Panthers, Triumphs, Velocettes and Vincents, etc. What good's a year's membership if they haven't won the bike?
So come on guys; stump up for a pair of gloves or a T-shirt or a bandana or something. You're one of the best funded clubs around, and one of the best organised. We know you can do better.
Regardless, the draw takes place on 17th November 2013 at the Classic Motor Show at NEC Birmingham. Online ticket sales will close on 10th November 2013.
If and when you win, the bike will need to be collected from Kettering, Northants. Meanwhile, dip into your pockets and check the link below.

Bryan Forbes: 1926 - 2013
If you're into classic British bikes, there's a good chance that you're also into other aspects of classic British culture—not least British cinema which has just lost one of its brightest lights.
He's hardly known anymore among the general public, but Bryan Forbes was one of Britain's most prolific film industry personalities and earned the respect of his professional contemporaries as an actor, writer, director, managing-director and producer of enormous talent and dedication.
He was born John Theobald Clarke in Stratford, East London. He married twice (latterly to actress Nanette Newman), was appointed CBE in 2004 and was awarded a BAFTA three years later.
As an actor, the characters he played were usually naive, boyish, ineffectual types. But as a writer and director, he was the driving force behind some of the great moments in classic 1960s and 1970s British cinema.
He starred in twenty-five films including:
The Small Back Room The Colditz Story The Guns of Navarone The League of Gentleman An Inspector Calls Appointment in London
He directed fifteen films including:
Whistle Down the Wind The L-Shaped Room Seance on a Wet Afternoon The Stepford Wives King Rat The Wrong Box The Slipper and the Rose
He also wrote dozens of screenplays, including one for The Angry Silence, (a gripping tale about a worker refusing to take part in an unofficial strike and is "sent to Coventry"), and under his stewardship at EMI, other notable films were made including The Railway Children and The Go Between.
Forbes didn't always get it right, and he famously turned down the opportunity to direct Dr No, the first James Bond movie. But as a director and producer, he tackled tricky subjects from religion to child abduction to industrial unrest and brought us much of the gritty realism for which British films of the 1960s are noted.
As an actor, he never had the commanding presence of the stars he worked with such as John Mills, Laurence Harvey and Richard Attenborough. But his writing, producing and directorial instincts were usually sound, with some wonderful high points.
Overall, Forbes was pretty much a one-man film industry. If you haven't seen his work, or can't remember when you last saw it, consider checking it out again. His films are gems.
Forbes died aged 86. — Dexxion
Watsonian-Squire Open Weekend
It's that time of the year again when Watsonian-Squire, UK sidecar manufacturer to the masses, open their doors and invite us all in to see exactly what's new, who's who, and where it's all at.
And this year it's at the same place where it was at last year, which is the firm's factory premises between the Cotswold towns of Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden.
The date is Saturday/Sunday 22nd/23rd June 2013, and this is the company's eighth such event. Expect to find pretty much everything sidecar related, including a collection of historic chairs. Watsonian-Squire will also be revealing some of the stuff in their archives.
Bring a lid if you want to test one of the firm's demonstrator outfits, and bring the usual ID stuff (licence, proof of address, etc).
Guests include "motorcycle author and world traveller Gordon May". Others guests to be announced in due course.

Barbara Hewson, one of Britain's leading barristers currently working at Hardwicke Chambers in London is calling for a change in the law to lower the legal age of consent to thirteen.
Her highly contentious suggestion comes amid a huge broadside of criticism that she's recently aimed at the UK establishment moralists who she believes has hijacked the criminal justice system by launching a witch-hunt against British celebrities.
But what's the connection with biking? Once again, these kind of issues and witch-hunts underline the increasing dangers of living in a society in which the liberal right wing is allowed to force moral codes and foment outrage upon the general population. If the aforementioned celebs are truly guilty, and were caught within a reasonable time frame that ensured a fair trial (and a long sentence where appropriate) we wouldn't have much sympathy for them. But what's equally, if not more worrying, is the rampant state-sponsored persecution through its already overworked legal machinery.
Once upon a time the moral target was homosexuals. Once upon a time the moral target was hippies, Catholics and immigramts. In Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union it was once intellectuals, Jews, artists, and writers. And even musicians. In France it was the upper classes. In the USA it was teenagers and alleged commies.
Today, the target appears to be men in the autumn of their years allegedly guilty of offences so old that one or two of the supposed perpetrators can't even remember what they did, let alone admit to.
Overall, it's not the job of the government to establish moral frameworks. The state should set only legal benchmarks (and some pretty firm ones with regard to child sex crimes). And it's certainly not the role of the law enforcers to substitute legitimate prosecution with overzealous cradle-to-grave persecution.
The hard, pragmatic, cash-in-the-pocket reality is that there's only so much police resources available, and not much space left in our jails. The rozzers would be better advised to leave the soft targets alone for a bit and get the hard targets off the streets.
Somewhere on the list of counter-culture, left-field, free-thinking, alternative lifestyles are motorcyclists. We'd be well advised to keep a weather eye on issues such as the one highlighted by Hewson and ensure that the moral pendulum doesn't swing too far from the centre.
What goes around comes around, etc. — Sam 7
Royal Enfield's new UK home
We're talking importers here, not manufacturing. So calm down everyone. The basic story, as many of you will know, is that Watsonian-Squire, since February 2013, is no longer the importer for Royal Enfield motorcycles.
Why not? We've heard various reasons—not least the fact that ... well, let's not go spreading any rumours, huh? The simple fact appears to be that Watsonian-Squire jumped and wasn't pushed, and the firm is now focussing its efforts on its core product, which are sidecars.
The new importer is MotoGB which handles MV Augusta, Benelli, Daelim, Keeway, Sym, and LML.
MotoGB also has its corporate fingers in a few other pies, but Royal Enfield is the new acquisition on its portfolio, and there are ambitious plans afoot to increase sales of the marque which have for some time been declining.
The general state of the UK economy is partly to blame for falling demand. But there's also the fact that a Royal Enfield simply isn't as cheap and cheerful as it used to be. And then there's Triumph to be reckoned with which is fielding a range of Bonneville models that cost not an awful lot more. And then there's Harley-Davidson which is fielding an entry level Sportster at £6700.
So okay, the Bonnie and the Sportster are horses of a different colour, but arguably not that different, and there's plenty of crossover interest. More to the point, however, is the general issue of price comparison. In short, Royal Enfields just don't look that cheap anymore which, of course, was their unique selling point. The bikes are now on a new sales platform in the big boy's playground where the competition is fiercer.
The current prices for the 2013 Royal Enfield Bullet range, for instance, is from £4250 to £5285. The current Triumph Bonneville price range is from around £6399 to £7199 which in recent years has significantly closed the gap.
"That's true," says leading Royal Enfield dealer David Stanley of Haywards of Cambridge. "Enfields have become a little more expensive, but the current fuel-injected range is also a lot more motorcycle and has come a long way since the cheap and cheerful days of the old four-speed carburettor Bullet.
"We've been with Royal Enfield for thirteen years, and we've loved working with Watsonian-Squire, but we're also very enthusiastic about MotoGB which is bringing fresh energy to the brand, has cut prices, and has increased dealer commission. It's an exciting time for us.
"Yes, Royal Enfield sales have suffered a little in recent times dropping, for us, from around 60-70 bikes per annum to around 20-30. But that's changing again and we've seen fresh interest lately, not least in the new Cafe Racer 535 Continental GT model (main image above) which should be with us in August 2013."
Meanwhile, the firm's curry-coloured Desert Storm variant (image immediately above) looks a lot more attractive to us and is available now. But "Desert Storm"? In view of the huge civilian collateral damage, we can't imagine that that name is too popular in certain parts of the Arab-speaking world. Or maybe it's marketed there as the Jihad or something. Can't imagine that the Desert Storm monicker is very popular either with a lot of the British and American service personnel who fought in the campaign.
Regardless, MotoGB has deeper pockets than Watsonian-Squire and the UK weather has turned for the better, so we could be looking at some fresh marketing creativity and initiatives. But that all-important price bracket? As ever, that's a tricky one, and will be trickier in this flatline economy.
As a footnote, Royal Enfield has just opened a new factory in India to ramp up production, and MotoGB is looking for new dealers across the UK. So if you're a dealer and are up for a challenge, hit the MotoGB link below.
