Whoops—I just came across another batch of yarns from 1946. How could I have left out the first Vespa? How could I have left out the Cushman vs Doodlebug scooter shoot-out? How could I have left out a 28½in-wide car powered by a Beeza 250 lump? How could I have left out the first all-ally Triumph twin that recorded the firm’s first Manx victory since 1908? I must stop kidding myself that any year is ever complete (some of the latest stories will need pics, for a start). But for now, at least, I’ll press on with 1947. See you then.
