Oli looks at some of his recent reading

RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF opportunit­ies to catch up on your reading. I've been given a large collection of copies of The Motor Cycle,1956-59, that I've been devouring, while my shelves already groaned with reference volumes and other tomes found at shows and jumbles.

Books by Roy Bacon and Bob Currie are regularly perused, as are Rupert Ratio's books on BSA

Unit Singles.

Then there are books that have less in the way of technical informatio­n but tell a fascinatin­g tale - the story of the steady rise and rapid fall of the British motorcycle industry.

Here are four books on the subject - if you haven't got at least one of them, you're missing out. - Oli
