After a chartered taxi ride round the course, followed by a week of practice, a subdued mood crept over the Italian team, who settle instead for a safety-first ride. Mario Ghersi - 13th, Luigi Arcangeli - 14th and Miro Maffais - 20th. Bianchi didn't return to the Isle of Man again until 1960.

It was short-sleeve order for the spectators, but then the sun always shone .... or is it just our rose-tinted spectacles adn memories of time s gone by.

Few riders have enjoyed the large and loyal fan base that Texan Kevin Schwantz has and the one World Championship he has to his name doesnâ€™t do his talent justice. With his self confessed win-or-bust style it was obvious he was going to be popular with the crowds after his first visit to Europe to ride in the Anglo American Match Races. So much so that he always considered Donington Park and the British Grand Prix as his home round. When the inevitable Suzuki Grand Prix ride came along, Schwantz approached the top level of the sport with the same cavalier attitude â€“ when he won he did it with great panache, when he didnâ€™t he usually came back on the wrecker truck. Schwantz stayed loyal to Suzuki throughout his career and still works for the company today.

This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamahaâ€™s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.

Outspoken American Kenny Roberts arrived in Europe fearing no one and once on the track it was easy to see why. Captured here during the 1976 Anglo American Match Races, at Oulton Park, Roberts clearly isnâ€™t bothered by an unruly 750 Yamaha and the close proximity of the railway sleepers that line the circuit. Having been brought up on the dirt track ovals in his native USA, neither an excess of power nor a slippery track fazed the tough Californian. Roberts went on to win the blue-ribbon 500 title three times, in 1978/79/80, for Yamaha and after moving on to team management witnessed his son Kenny Junior take the title in 2000 riding for the rival Suzuki team, a feat no other father and son have equalled.

WD127477@10 Salsbury model
For those who didn't guess it was a Salsbury Model 85 (standard model - the deluxe model having a faired in front end with a windscreen and a rear pillion seat). The Model 85 had a production run starting in 1946 and ending in 1949 after 700-1000 units were produced. The official public debut of the Model 85 was at a press conference in late 1946 on Fargo Street in Los Angeles (chosen as Fargo Street was the steepest road in Los Angeles, with a 32 degree slope). The idea was to display the Model 85's hill climbing ability - a task it apparently managed with ease.
So know you know!

A LULL BEFORE THE STORM
IT'S a received wisdom that the general public knew nothing about Mods prior to the events of Easter 1964, but like most received wisdoms, it's only partially true. Many people are aware of the 1962 Town article featuring (amongst others) Marc Bolan, but if you look hard enough there is other material around pre-dating the seaside riots.
In December 1963 Motor Cycle magazine ran a light-hearted 'Are you a Mod or a Rocker?' quiz. Readers were asked questions about their attire and habits. The top three levels of scoring (Mod, Mid and Rocker) were all considered "with it", while the lowest scoring category (Old Fogey) was definitely considered to be "without it".
The piece was written by one Mike Evans and it is he who is featured as the example Mod, with a suitably scruffy Rocker alongside for comparison. Mike's clothes include a tab-collared shirt, Cuban heels and a collarless jacket and at this distance in time, it's difficult to recall if these were specifically Mod fashions in late '63. The scooter (a well used GS150 with chrome panels) looks about right though.
The article obviously isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and there's no sense of the friction that was to erupt four or five months later. This sort of thing could not have appeared in a motorcycle magazine after April 1964.

Ducati cruiser
Ducati Cruser - The Cruiser was the first ever scooter ever made by Ducati. It was a very advanced design when it debuted in 1951 with a single cylinder 175cc ohv engine, automatic transmission with a hydraulic torque converter, shaft drive, 12 volt electrics and an electric start â€“ the first on a scooter. With bodywork by Ghia and a two-tone paint job the Cruiser was a very nice piece of kit, but the engine had to be detuned for the Italian market and was limited to 50mph. It was too expensive for a country still bearing the scars of WWII and went out of production after two years with only about 2000 sold.
