The Glory Days of British Motorbikes - BBC Timeshift Series
Timeshift returns with an exploration of the British love of fast, daring and sometimes reckless motorbike riding during a period when home-grown machines were the envy of the world. From TE Lawrence in the 1920s, to the 'ton up boys' and rockers of the 1950s, motorbikes represented unparalleled style and excitement, as British riders indulged their passion for brands like Brough Superior, Norton and Triumph.
But it wasn't all thrills and spills - the motorbike played a key role during World War II and it was army surplus bikes that introduced many to the joy and freedom of motorcycling in the 50s, a period now regarded as a golden age. With its obsession with speed and the rocker lifestyle, it attracted more than its fair share of social disapproval and conflict. Narrated by John Hannah.

Rock, Moor & River Motorcycle Sports In Yorkshire - 1950's
Features footage from the Allan Jefferies Trophy Trial, The Scott,
Ilkley Grand National, Road Racing at Esholt Park. Commentator is Allan
Jefferies, Issued to be made by the Bradford & District Motorcycle
Club back in the day. The footage was passed onto me by Tony Armstrong
in the format of a VHS tape sound quality was poor and picture quality
was also poor. Originally this was on 8mm film which was converted by
Tony and was given by Mr Woods. Now it's been cleaned the best I can and
put into the digital world for all you to enjoy.
