Practical British Lightweight Four-stroke Motorcycles by Steve Wilson

This book combines history, model development and useful information on specialist shops, clubs and procedures, to tell the enthusiast how to get a classic bike on the road for less than a thousand. The models he selects as truly practical are Velocette's LE twin, the Triumph Tiger Cub, and BSA's 250 and 350 unit singles. The book targets the enthusiast of limited means, and the youngster wanting to get involved in the old bike scene, as well as readers with classic bikes that are now too valuable to risk on the daily ride to work. Provides well-illustrated model histories giving nuts-and-bolts development details to help identify weak points and improvements, plus original appearances. Supplies information on specialist shops and clubs, also procedures such as reclaiming an old machine's original registration number from the DVLC.
