1913 Flying Merkel Racer

Cover: Surely one of the most fascinating periods of motorcycle history is the board track racing era. Huge crowds would turn out to see brave young men race their motorcycles around steeply banked, circular board tracks.

1937 BMW R51 SS Classic Motorcycle

Cover: This month's cover bike has seen a lot in its fifty-six years.

1938 Triumph Speed Twin - Motorcycle Collector

Cover: The 1930's was a period of tremendous motorcycle development in England. Single cylinder machines were the primary type, with interest growing about four cylinder engines. After Eric Turner introduced the vertical twin design, almost every English motorcycle manufacturer produced one and most followed the general outlines of Turner's design. The Speed Twin, this month's cover bike, convinced the English motorcycling public that two cylinders could be as inexpensive, light and simple to maintain as one.
