Got to love the combination at 12:45, 2 adults, 2 children and a caravan! That's working hard. Looks like a Panther.

Gordon Jackson was forced to give up motorcycle trials by a miserable wife. He went on to do car trials, with her as a passenger. He didn't win until she was replaced.

Just a tiny part of the once massive BSA empire still stands if you know where to look. Of the local populace these days the less said the better.

Eynsford Ford. Recognised it straight away and used in another AMC publicity shot with a Twin. Only just down the road from Gordon’s Farm. Been through it many times

@jonb3311 5 ай бұрын

The rocks they rode over were on Gordon's farm. He had a couple of lorry loads of cobbles from the Old Kent Road, when it was tarmaced over. Both Gordon and Hugh live near Swanley. I think they also used parts of Canada Heights in the film.

Marvellous stuff ! I particularly liked - early 'engine mapping' at 2:31 , presumably cleaner air back then at 4:09 , the clutch and brake levers forged from 'drillium' , and perhaps the fore-runner of the 'splat' at 16:49 ? All good advice on technique that still applies today .

My father owned one of these, bought from Dawsons of Nottingham when they were demobbed by the AA. His, and others I have seen, all had a BLT registration. Dawsons took the large AA emblems off the sidecars and painted all the yellow bits black - with the exception of the petrol tank which was finished in red. He would never trust overhead valve engines, nor coil ignition and the AA M21 offered the best of both worlds being side valve with manual magneto. The dynamo was also supplemented by an alternator which charged a heavy duty battery and, being a cautious man, he appreciated this feature too. The AA bikes also had decent forks and goldstar-sized front brakes. With his own tools in the sidecar he used it for many years to get him to work. Of course, the RAC used, the perhaps posher, ES2 Nortons for their outfits....................

As with all british automotive companies making rubbish now unsurprisingly as with all of them gone down the pan due to poor quality and crap product
