Velocette: The Racing Story
by Mick Walker
In 1961 a production 500cc Velocette Venom Clubman Veeline
achieved a world record, twenty-four hours at a speed of
100.05mph. It was the first motorbike of any size to perform the
feat, and to this date no other motorbike of comparable size has
equalled or bettered its record. It was the culmination of almost
fifty-five years of technological excellence from the Birmingham
factory, a time that had seen the company win both the Junior and
Senior TT numerous times, as well as many other races throughout
Europe and the UK. Motorcycle historian Mick Walker tells the
story of the various Velocette racing bikes and their riders from
1905 to the winding up of the company in 1971. Velocettes have
always had a loyal following and the KTT and Thruxton especially
are among the most desirable of classic bikes, especially with a
racing pedigree. Riders like Stanley Wood, Neil Kelly, E.A.
Mellors and Bertie Goodman all feature in the book too. Famous
models such as the KTT, MAC, Venom and Thruxton are looked at in
depth, while the story of Velocettes racing heritage is told in
great detail in Velocette: The Racing Story.
