DICK MANN - Many will remember him from the early Match Races when he rode a BSA triple. He did pretty well at Daytona as well, and John Brown sees him there earlier this year to find out that Mann really wanted to be a moto crosser
PRE-WAR CONTINENTAL SCENE - The 'Continental Circus' is always referred to as the grand prix round of races after the War, but there was an enthusiastic band in the twenties and thirties who raced the Continental circuits - and we have pictures of them
STEWART ROGERS - The vintage club's Manx Norton runner always has to start at the back of the grid with a pusher. But he's usually near the front by the end of the race
GILERA'S RETURN - Gilera joined the factory 'strike' of 1957 when they quit grand prix racing because of rising costs. Their arch rivals MV carried on to dominate the sport, however, but in 1963 Geoff Duke thought the Gileras could mount a real challenge
SATURNO SPECIAL - One of three Saturno specials built by the Gilera factory for Libero Liberati still survives today. Raymond Ainscoe heard and saw it in action in Italy this year.
A RESCUED MZ - This 250 grand prix racer was discovered in a poor state in East Germany before the Iron Curtain was torn down. Clandestinely, it was smuggled across the border in bits and pieces and rebuilt as it is seen today in West Germany
AUSSIE HARLEY - This formidable V-twin bike is hurled around the tracks Down Under in mightily muscular fashion by an advertising executive. It's the fastest thing around and looks incredible
THE 'FLYING MERKEL' - Yes, roll up folks to re-live the sights and sounds of the American board tracks with this story of a 1911 survivor. We even get the chance to fire the ancient old warrior up and go for a ride. Outrageous.
