Now when was it that? to give it its true print title, is a compilation of milestone snippets from the motorcycle history books. Originally written by Old Bike Mart founder Ken Hallworth and re-crafted by Jeff Clew for this series, Now when was it that? answers all those general knowledge questions – those irritating brain teasers which aren't relevant enough to appear in magazine articles proper.
When was it that Cyclemaster tried to go upmarket? When was it that Francis-Barnett ditched Villers as an engine supplier? You'll find answers to both questions and many more in this online serialisation. See also second, third and fourth books.
