First-hand accounts of riding & racing motorcycles in the
1950s. "Sometimes, on certain mornings in early fall, when there is
a light fog and the air holds a hint of moisture, I can recall so
clearly the sound of a single's exhaust." Thus begins this journey
into memory, back to a time that has to be called the Golden Age of
Motorcycles. British bikes--BSA, Triumph, AJS, Matchless, Norton,
Velocette--had invaded roads and race tracks previously dominated
by Harley-Davidson and Indian. In the open land surrounding cities
bikers were blazing trails, making Hare and Hound courses. If there
was a rule it was "run what ya brung," never mind about insurance,
licenses, headlights, mufflers, crash helmets. There never was a
time when so many were so free on two wheels.
