Interview courtesy of BBC Radio Devon. Photographs by Gordon
Francis. If you can recall watching motorcycle scrambles and
trials on your black and white TV during the 1960s, then
this is the book for you. Its a trip down memory lane as the
author recalls boyhood journeys in his big brothers ex-GPO
van to watch the stars in action, some of the worlds best,
including scramblers like the Sharp brothers, Badger Goss
and Ivor England, trials riders Gordon Jackson, Max King and
the Kendalls, and great all-rounders like Ken Heanes, Johnny
Giles and the American Bud Ekins. Not only does it include
the star riders, but also the main British manufacturers of
the time like BSA, Triumph, James, Greeves, Metisse, Cheney
and Wasp, the latter two of which are still in existence to
this day. However, the book isnt just about bikes its about
the people and their stories from illustrious and successful
careers on two and three wheels, which makes for a
thoroughly interesting and captivating read.
