1966 Cycle World Article: Triumph History

The Triumph Motorcycle, like many of its other British brothers, had its beginnings in the bicycle industry. Founded in 1885 in London, the early history of the Triumph Company is very nearly lost in the mists of time. The founder of the company was, surprisingly, not an Englishman, but rather a German by the name of Siegfried Bettmann... 1966 Triumph Motorcycle History 5-Page Article available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

1963 German Two-Wheel Museum - Deutsches Zweirad Museum, Neckarsulm, Germany

Numerous exhibits including, push bikes, high-wheelers, historic motorcycles and racing machines

Antique & classic two-wheelers shown in this article are:

-A dainty, Anzani-powered 2.4 liter (146.5 cubic inches) belt drive special used immediately after WWI to tow a bicyclist up to world-record speeds.

-Sample of the Zweirad Museum wall cartoons, depicting an early race.

-Displays like the Baum "flying lawnchair" are frequently loaned to motorcycle shows (here Frankfurt) so you never know what the three-story museum may hold on a given day.

-The date is obvious (1902), but their first Neckarsulm powered bicycle couldn't be called a "motorrad," or motorcycle, in Germany because that name had been patented.

-Before Gottlieb Daimler built an automobile he put the motor in this two-wheeler, in 1885. The original was destroyed; this is a copy.

-One regular there is the Megola built in the Twenties in Munich. The five-cylinder rotary motor drove the front wheel via a planetary drive.

-This 1820 Munich push bike required one man-power to get you around town before the days of motors.

1978 Mike Hailwood Isle of Man Comeback 6-Page Article

Mike the Bike - Hailwood doesn't believe in his legend. He isn't technical. He's 38 years old. But he always liked the IoM, so...

Photo captions:

At his peak, Hailwood wrestled the Honda Four to win after win and set an Isle of Man lap record that stood for nine years.....

Checking the Ducati's riding position at his first 1978 test session.

Testing for the Isle of Man began on a rainy day at Oulton Park.

What was it like to ride the Honda GP bikes? Mike waiting for a start in 1966 tells that story without words.

It's always nice to be back in the winner's circle.

Back on form, at Quarter Bridge on the modified-production Ducati.
