Matchless by Mick Walker

Matchless by Mick Walker

The first Matchless motorcycle was made in 1899 and, with a commercial manufacturing history dating from 1901, Matchless is one of the senior marques of the late British motorcycle industry. Matchless produced a wide range of motorcycles to suit all purposes and pockets; their most famous machines being the Silver Arrow and Silver Hawk multi-cylinder bikes of the 1930s. Their wartime G3L was not only one of the most popular British service machines of the Second World War, but the first to feature telescopic front forks. Mick Walker's history of the important British manufacturer takes us from the end of the nineteenth century to the last AMC Matchless of 1966 and beyond.

Mick Walker's interest in motorcycling goes back to the 1960s when he started racing and had wins at most major circuits. In 1969 he started, Mick Walker Motorcycles, and was a leading race sponsor during the 1970s. He was editor of Motorcycle Enthusiast from 1983 - 1987. In 1985 his first book was published - he has now written over eighty titles.
