The UK Bike Scene
Velocette is the name given to motorcycles that were made by Veloce Ltd, in Hall Green, Birmingham, England. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a small, family-owned firm, selling far fewer hand-built motorcycles than the giant BSA, Norton or Triumph concerns. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing, from the mid-1920s through the 1950s, culminating in two world championship titles (1949–1950 350 cc) and its legendary and still-unbeaten 24 hours at 100 mph (161 km/h) record. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers.[1]

Such motorcycles can no longer be used as racing motorcycles. This is a classic. But don't be upset. There are modern motorcycles that reach breakneck speeds. I saw such races and even managed to place bets - https://melbet.mobi/ Such speeds are inconvenient for spectators. This has become a serious reason for viewers to switch to online viewing.

This was a very popular model in its time. Many professional motorcycle racers started out this way.

Selecting the Cars: Building a Concours Field That Matters
by Mike Thies
There are so many aspects of a qulity Concours event, yet all would agree that the heart of any concours is the field itself. A concours succeeds when the vehicles tell a story worth walking through. The selection process should not be a random gathering of nice cars. It should be a deliberate effort to assemble vehicles that represent history, design, craftsmanship,…
