Those Dashing Racers of the 1920s: George Brough

This is the grandaddy sartorialist sportsman in all of motorcycling; George Brough.  He's photographed here on his own creation, the famous Brough-Superior derisively called 'Spit & Polish', so-called because of the always-immaculate finish he kept, but George called it 'Old Bill' after the WW1 comic book character.  His racer was the prototype of the upcoming Super Sports 80 (SS80) model he would introduce in 1922, only three years after commencing production in 1919 using J.A.P. '90 Bore' and Motosacoche engines.   Old Bill used a newly-introduced J.A.P. sidevalve racing engine of 980cc, on which George and his development team (Harold 'Oily' Karslake and Ike Webb) worked considerable magic.  The flywheels were lightened down to their outer rims and a single 'spoke' connecting the main bearings to the flywheel rims.  It was the first sidevalve-powered motorcycle to clock 100mph in competition.

George Brough was famous not only as a manufacturer of fine motorcycles, but as a competition rider second to none in his day. He only retired from racing competition when Old Bill crossed the finish line ahead of its rider at Clipstone, and George spent 8 months in the hospital receiving skin grafts. Prior to that, George had won every single even he entered, a remarkable run of 51 wins.  The SS80, of course, would go on to earn an enviable reputation as a very fast sports-tourer, with more emphasis on the touring side as time went on - the SS80 was produced until 1940, and by then was strictly a fast touring machine, and a lovely one at that.

George Brough aboard one of his original MkI series Brough Superior, with an OHV '90 Bore' J.A.P. V-twin motor. His outfit is fantastic; fur gloves, woolen riding suit, white shawl scarf, and his signature cocked cap of his own design. He made a series of these asymmetric caps over the course of his life. [The Vintagent Archive]
What is George wearing to race Old Bill? The classic collegiate racer getup of the day; an Oxford sweater, with shirt and tie (plus obligatory tiebar), wool jodhpurs, and proper calf-high laceup boots, which were rare at the time. Gloves were rare too, but George sports some lightweight leather items with what looks like the fingertips cut off. As all the controls on the motorcycle were levers (twistgrip throttles were very rare until the late 1920s), fingertip control might have been important to George. He certainly wouldn't have been caught dead with worn-out gloves. He's also wearing a fur-lined aviator's 'helmet', which would have done nothing but keep his head warm. Useful helmets, made of layered fabric held together with varnish ('dope'), and lined with cork and leather, had begun to appear by this date, so George has made his choice of protective headgear.

1967 Velocette Clubman Veeline

The 1967 Velocette Venom Clubman Veeline - what a mouthful for what is an absolutely gorgeous machine.  This one lives in Australia, where I met it in 2004, and it ran as well as it looked. This is just about my favorite configuration of Velocette, barring the MkVIII KTT racer.  The Venom Veeline has a grace of line that even the Velocette Thruxton with a nose-cone fairing lacks. Doug Michenall, owner of Avon Fairings, created the mould for this line of fiberglass wind-cheaters specifically for Velocettes, and it shows. I have seen slimline Nortons use the same item, which looks great as well.

The Velocette Venom Clubman Veeline was a fast thing of beauty, and an excellent factory cafe racer. [Paul d'Orléans]
The Venom was Velocette’s sports model, built from 1956-70 as a development of the MSS 500cc swingarm model of 1953, which was a touring machine.  The history of the Venom goes back to the MSS Scrambler of 1954, which used the hot camshaft profile of the MkVIII KTT production racer, and larger intake port and carburetor.  Given the easy 100mph speed from the Scrambler, it seemed natural to build a sports roadster the same state of tune as the Scrambler, and thus the Venom was born.   It proved an excellent all-around motorcycle, capable of being ridden for hours on end at full throttle without breaking, or shaking itself to pieces.  The ‘square’ Velocette motor of the 1953-71 (86mm x 86mm) is remarkably smooth, and even a 1990s Cycle World comparative road test with several more modern machines dubbed it 'the smoothest bike in the world' when ridden at 65mph.

The proof in the pudding: in 1961 a Velocette Venom became the first motorcycle to average 100mph for 24hours. [The Vintagent Archive]
With an ultra-narrow crankshaft and very large main bearings, the lower end of the Venom is nearly indestructible, even when tuned for racing, as with the later Thruxton production racing version of the Venom (introduced in 1965).  The robust nature of the Venom was proven when an international team met at the Montlhéry speed bowl in France in 1961, including Managing Director Bertie Goodman, journalist Bruce Main-Smith, and French champion Georges Monneret and his son Pierre, with the intention of being the first motorcycle to circulate at 100mph for 24 hours.  The effort was successful, and has yet to be duplicated by any single-cylinder motorcycle, although larger, multi-cylinder bikes have repeated the feat.  What more proof does one need of a sound design?

Road Signs in Australia

This was the view from the 1965 Velocette Thruxton I borrowed from John Jennings for the Australian Velocette Owners Club Rally in Sydney, October 2005.  The winding road was somewhere in the midst of the Blue Mountains, a couple of hours outside Sydney, as the rally HQ was Richmond NSW.  The VOCA began holding their week-long 'Good Companions' rally in 2003, at Margaret River WA, which I was lucky to attend.  It was indeed an adventure, as Western Australia has a very low population density, with 90% of its population in Perth, and a whole lot of unpopulated bush for 1000 miles around it.  As I tend to ride alone and explore whatever catches my fancy, I went 40km 'off piste' to explore a row of old-growth Kerri trees that had been made into a park.  On finishing my lunch and taking some photos, I found my borrowed (from John Jennings again!) Velocette Clubman had no compression.  I had enough tools with me to determine a valve seat had dropped, which is very unusual, and not repairable by the side of the road.  Lucky for me, a bush mechanic happened along the otherwise deserted dirt road, gave me a ride to a house with a phone, and I was able to call ahead to our evening's rally stop for some roadside assistance.  My reputation as a hotrod preceded me, and I was castigated Aussie-style for breaking the Clubman, but of course I was simply puttering along a dirt road for the prior 40km.  Turned out the valve seats had been recently installed by an expert...but one never forgets the hard looks and hard feelings of the blamers.  John, of course, understood, and we carried on loaning each other our bikes for many years on rallies in the USA and Australia.

Kangaroo and wombat crossing for 15km - imagine! I saw plenty of 'roos, but no wombats, luckily. By all accounts, striking a wombat on a motorcycle is like hitting a large boulder. [Paul d'Oréans]
What's it like to ride in Australia?  There are great twisties in some areas, like the Blue Mountains, and a few parts of WA, but most of it is gently rolling countryside that looks surprisingly like Marin County in California, barring the 'roos and cockatoos!  I attended three rallies in Australia in the early 2000s, and loved the countryside and generally excellent hospitality.

C.T. Ashby's Zenith Racer

C.T. Ashby on his Zenith, Brooklands 1925. Zenith motorcycles held more over-100mph lap times at the Brooklands track than any other make, and the competition machines were personally supervised by Freddie Barnes, owner of Zenith. The bike is stripped down to the essentials, with a big pillow strapped to the tank for rider comfort on the notoriously bumpy Brooklands bowl. The crucial components; big 1000cc JAP OHV engine, Harley-Davidson forks with an Andre bump damper, 'square' ML magneto at the front of the engine, two big fishtail mufflers poking beyond the rear wheel, 21" wheels front and rear, and a dummy rim rear brake. Ashby, always a practical rider, is wearing a turtleneck sweater under his collarless leathers, and what looks like a kidney belt to help with the pounding he must have received while doing 110mph. I owned a similar machine - Super Kim - which I'll show in a future post.

C.T. Ashby was a professional racer in an era dominated by amateurs. His racing Zenith is a very special machine. [The Vintagent Archive]

Trouble on Highway 1

The consolation of bike trouble on Highway 1 is the view. This is Chris Potempa on an AMCA club ride in 2003, working on his 1934 Indian Chief that was having multiple 'issues' on the day, including shedding the rivets which held on the rear brake drum. That fix took a trip to the hardware store, which luckily was only 10 miles away, and we managed to squeeze some bolts into the rivet holes for the trip home. Chris has since sold the bike!

Cec Weatherby at the 1933 Isle of Man Junior TT

This is 'Cec' Weatherby, from Australia, about to start in the 1933 Junior TT, on his '33 Velocette MkIV KTT. Dennis Quinlan sent this from his archives in Sydney; clear photos of rigid-frame Velocette racers in the IOM TT are rare, even though they figured highly in the results. The other makes visible in the photo are Norton and Rudge; Rudge had won its last TT in 1930, and a pushrod-engine machine would never win again. Nortons, though, won this race and many others to come! Visible on top of the scoreboard are the Boy Scouts who updated the rider positions during the race. One 'bobby' (a sergeant by the looks of it) stands by to keep order, and the race team sponsors/owners are wearing their tweed suits and ties. 

Australian rider Cec Weatherby crossed the world to ride in the 1933 Isle of Man Junior TT aboard a new Velocette MkIV KTT, where he placed 15th. [Dennis Quinlan]

Racing riders are wearing baggy leather separates, as one-piece racing suits weren't common until the early 50's; they wear double-breasted button-up short jackets with  high-waisted jodhpurs and suspenders underneath. Some of the riders wore shirts and ties, but Sartorialism was on the wane for motorcyclists by the mid-30's. Brooklands riders kept their neckties until the war, with 'Barry' Baragwanath keeping his detachable collar and bowtie until the end of his career - how charmingly old fashioned.

Another photo of Cec Weatherby, back in his native Australia, at the Australian Junior TT run on the Hartley Vale circuit in NSW. Note he's still using the same MkIV KTT, but he's grown a chic beard! [Dennis Quinlan]

The Velocette MkIV KTT was a production racer produced from 1933-35, and was the first substantial revamp of the KTT line, introduced in 1928.  Many riders did well on the MkIV, winning Grands Prix and TTs around the world, and many Gold Stars at Brooklands for turning 100mph+ laps during a race, which is significant for a 350cc machine [see our article on David Vincent's Gold Star ride on a Velo here].  The KTT line evolved in 1935 with the MkV, which used the same full-cradle frame as the new KSS roadster, and the aluminum cylinder head of the KSS as well: it was not as successful as the MkIV, being heavier and a little slower. The MkVI that followed was a strictly limited production for selected riders, and the subject of much speculation - read our story here.  The KTT MkVII was a brilliant machine with a wholly new all-alloy engine, and a revised frame geometry based on feedback from Stanley Woods.  The MkVIII KTT was the ultimate of the KTT line, built from 1938-50, using the world's first swingarm rear suspension with separate shock units, as we see on most motorcycles to this day.  The MkVIII was the swansong of the KTT line, and the most successful of all.

2006 All-British Ride

The 150 bikes attending the 13th annual All-British Ride ranged in age from Pete Young's 1914 Premier to brand-new Triumph Rocket 3's. The BSA club has taken over management of this event from Don Danmeier, who previously held the event as his annual 50th birthday party: perhaps the joke became untenable after ten years!  Volunteers staffed the sign-up table at our meeting point in downtown Novato. The ride cost $15, which included a back-up vehicle and lunch stop at the ride's end, the Cheese Factory.

The ride moves quickly out of Novato and into the wonderfully hilly, sinous roads of West Marin county. Some of the roads are very poorly maintained, with bumps and potholes making for a rough ride - but as there is absolutely no automobile traffic in these areas, there is some consolation; plus, it's a beautiful, rural part of our state, worth investigating.

Norton Commando special in flashy yellow paint job, as per the factory production racers. [Paul d'Orleans]
We moved north through town and across the Russian River, then wound our way out to the coast itself via the small town of Occidental. Highway 1 isn't well travelled here, so the bikes can stretch their legs and riders can enjoy 'getting down to it' on the well-banked corners. Hwy 1, at least, is fairly well paved, and some stretches, as along Bolinas Lagoon or just south of Tomales, can be taken very quickly indeed!

1934 Morgan with JAP JTOS engine - one of two Mogs this year. [Paul d'Orleans]
This year's event was light on prewar machines, but this was compensated by several tasty specials from the 1960's. It was a beautiful autumn day, and the bikes sounded great.

The Velocette KTT MkI

Regardless of the value of the Cyclone in the previous post, this is my idea of a truly compelling motorcycle: a Velocette KTT Mk1, built between 1928-1931. A real gem of a motorcycle, a landmark competition machine, and still cheaper than a new Harley-Davidson.  Distinguishing features include a 350cc shaft-and-bevel driven OHC motor with ultra-narrow flywheels and lightened crankcases.  Chain driven magneto (a square ML item), a 3-speed gearbox with no kickstarter but a strengthening strap connecting the rear of the crankcase with the footrest lug.  The fuel and oil fillers are on the left, 'TT style', and the Webb front forks have an extra strengthening strut, and an André steering damper, which is totally unnecessary.  The carburetor is an Amac racing item, and the footshift was the first in the industry to have a ratchet return - as seen on every motorcycle today.  The KTT could be tuned for 100+mph, and many riders earned Gold Stars at Brooklands with them, running on alcohol.

The Velocette KTT MkI was the company's 350cc OHC production racer, that proved to be a real winner around the world. As OHC motorcycles were rare at the time, they had a distinct performance advantage over pushrod-powered engines. [The Vintagent Archive]

Spaceman Spiff

Craig took this pic on the 49 Mile Ride; I thought it was pretty funny; the Vintagent on his cell phone. Those crazy Spaceman Spiff goggles were purchased from Allyn Scura out of LA (who shows up at the Vintage Fashion Expos), and has a line of vintage-inspired eyewear, as well as a huge supply of nos sunglasses and frames. I buy far too many from him, but I have a lot of very cool sunglasses!

Reminiscent of the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon character, Paul's goggles were purchased from Allyn Scura, an excellent source of vintage eyewear. [Paul d'Orléans]

[Note: Paul is wearing a WW1 leather aviator's jerkin, with wool police jodhpurs, and Italian laceup boots.  He's also wearing a vintage Wakmann watch from the 1960s - a real mashup of vintage fashion.  He no longer wears Davida pudding basin helmets - they are useless!]

Cyclone - 2006 Legend of the Motorcycle

This week's theme is yellow... actually a pic of one of the most compelling motorcycles ever. This yellow Cyclone (1000cc OHC racer) was displayed at the Legends of the Motorcycle Concours, and was clean enough to eat from. Unfortunately it will never be ridden again, and is basically sculpture at this stage in history. Pound for pound as valuable as a Rodin, and arguably just as beautiful. Comments?

A pre-dawn stroll through the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton hotel before judging the 2006 Legends of the Motorcycle Concourse in Half Moon Bay. It wasn't the first Cyclone I'd seen, but they are very rare, and this one was a beauty. [Paul d'Orleans]

2006 49 Mile Ride, Part 1

49 Mile Ride! Almost 160 bikes arrived at Cafe Trieste this morning, of all varieties. Top photo shows a fellow (sorry no name) who rode a Ural with sidecar, who said his outfit was inspired by his great-grandfather. It's hard to see but he's got pinstripe slacks under chaps - something I've never seen before, which gave him a real old-west air. Lower pic shows James and Kumi on their Royal Enfield and Ariel, as always looking stylish.

Don't Break Down!

This is what REALLY happens at an old motorcycle rally... some unfortunate sod ('Fass Mikey' Vils) has a difficulty with his motorbike, and is anxiously attending his 1915 Harley, while several of his friends stand around and make jokes at his expense, and jibes at his improvised solutions. And he takes it all in stride. Note the doctor's bag on the rack, which was full of tools and spares, which he used! From the Pre-16 Rally, Atascadero, May 2006.

Evel Knievel in San Francisco, 1967

Evel Knievel made one of his trademark jumps on a Triumph in San Francisco's Civic Center, November 23, 1967. He's riding a brand-new and mildly customized 'TT' Bonneville. It's widely thought that Evel only jumped using Harleys, but Triumphs were his bike of choice in the mid-60s; lighter and faster!

The Amazing Zelocette!

A nice pic of Paul Zell and one of his amazing Zellocettes; this one is the MeSS, with around 700cc of raw power, utilizing a special cylinder head/barrel/piston to create shocking stomp on the road. He regularly humbles riders of new machines, and this bike has proved to be fairly reliable, after much experimentation on earlier versions of 'bigger banger' theme. His previous Velocette special, the monstrous 780cc Thruxton (featured in Cycle World), produced amazing power, but was prone to mechanical gremlins. At this point, Paul is reverting to a standard 500cc engine in his Thruxton, as he's tired of chasing the weaknesses in an overstressed engine. But, the MeSS has been going strong for a couple of years now.

2006 Velocette Owners Club Summer Rally

Summer Rally '06, Crater Lake Oregon. Ken Vincent of Perth, Australia, rode my 1933 Velocette MkIV KTT for a day, and my 1960 Venom Clubman the rest of the week. That's the sort of hospitality such clubs offer - when I traveled to Australia I was loaned bikes, and more bikes when those broke!  The VOCNA Summer Rally lasts one week, and the ride is a 5-day, 1000-mile adventure in a different location every year.  The rally has been held from the mountains above Los Angeles, to the canyonlands of Utah, to Vancouver BC, to Alberta BC, all down the Rockies, and the whole of the West Coast.  That's around 35,000 miles of backroads explored, all over the West.  If you have an interest in joining, check out the VOCNA here.
