JOHN H. COOPER - John Cooper's oft been grasped firmly around the shoulders and forcibly led to the bar for an unwanted pint. Why? Depends if you were there or not in 1971 - and a lot of people were. 'Coop', however achieved more than mere motorcycle immortality that one day at Mallory Park
CIRCUIT SPECIAL - Another success at Brands in July - even the man from Motor Cycle News appears to have enjoyed it. 'These blokes really race,' he intoned enthusiastically, if a little unnecessarily. The Super Prix is the colour foundation for our bumper nine-page 'Round the Circuits' feature from Brands, Oulton, Snetterton and Mallory
TONY GODFREY - Tony runs his own driving school these days but in 1963 was riding a works Yamaha 250 in the Isle of Man for nothing. Itw as his big chance. He led Jim Redman by eight seconds, was one second off the lead. Then the rear wheel locked up.
THIRTIES 250s - You think the 250 grand prix class is hectic today? Well, in the 1930s it was even more so with more and much more varied works teams going for the glory, Brian Woolley wasn't there actually, but it's the period of motorcycling history that fascinates him most
WORLD FASTEST - National fame and (relative) fortune did not come from scratching around corners before the First War but by being the fastest man on two wheels. Records came and went with stunning rapidity as factories from all over the world competed for the title of 'The World's Fastest'.
68 50cc STERZI - It's Italian actually. A grand prix racing 50cc 'motorcycle' that was little more than a moped. Steeped in history, however, and a rightful testimony to the chaps that diced upon it and others like it. This one lived in Willy Wilshere's bedroom for 11 years.
