Ian Soady's Web Page

As part of my writing activities, I came across Ian Soady; Ian was kind enough to provide an illustration, hitherto published in RealClassic Magazine, for the Bantam Restoration Guide. Here's his website - check out the Sunbeam restoration:

Here's Ian on George Brough's SS100 at the National Motorcycle Museum's "Ride a Classic" day:

Shameless Plug 2

The second in my series of articles for my favourite bike magazine, RealClassic, appears in the July 2015 and starts on the story of the rebuild, from the arrival of a basket case in a van in October 2011. 

This one has some pictures of the engine rebuild, the instruments and the KH tank in glorious Technicolor. Back issues can be obtained from http://www.realclassic.co.uk.

It's an excellent magazine, and I'm sure you'll find Frank & Rowena's writing, along with that of their regular contributors enthralling. Buy a copy, then when you've realised how good it is, take out a subscription.

Shameless Plug

This is a bit of a plug for my favourite bike magazine, RealClassic, and for a series of articles I've written about Amelia's rebuild.

The first one appears in the June 2015 issue and chronicles the history of the four from Edward Turner's 1928 fag-packet sketch to the demise of the Mk 2 in 1959. 

Subsequent articles cover the rebuild from the basket case shown earlier in this blog to the eventual start up, and the impressions I've formed and the trials & tribulations I've experienced whilst running it it in.

The articles are profusely illustrated and span several pages - I think I wrote some 12,000 words in all. Back issues can be obtained from http://www.realclassic.co.uk.

It's an excellent magazine, and I'm sure you'll find Frank & Rowena's writing, along with that of their regular contributors enthralling. Buy a copy, then when you've realised how good it is, take out a subscription.
