The Last Hurrah!, Des Molloy. Des Molloy and Dick Huurdeman look like the sort of guys who should be sedately steering a sleigh in a Santa parade, not riding old single-banger British bikes half way across the world through some of the most difficult and remote terrain imaginable. Des's son Steve joined this intrepid pair as cameraman and general factotum for the highs and lows of an incident-packed three-month trek from Beijing to Arnhem on ‘Penelope’, a 1965 Yorkshire-made 650cc Panther, and ‘Dutch Courage’, a 1954 Norton 600.

When Rosie Met Anneka, Steve Wilson. If only a motorbike could talk! And in this charming, beautifully illustrated story they can! Or at least one very special bike does, a BSA A10 called Anneka, that's nearly 50 years old and in need of some tender loving care.
