The Trusty Tractor, produced by Tractors (London) Ltd from the 1930s until 1962, was a versatile two-wheeled agricultural machine designed for smallholders and gardeners. Over its production span, it utilized various engines, including those from Villiers, J*P, and notably, the Norton Big 4.

The Norton Big 4 engine, a 633cc side-valve single-cylinder unit, was originally developed for motorcycles and later adapted for industrial applications. In the Trusty Tractor, this engine was modified to include a cooling fan and cowling to prevent overheating during stationary operations. The engine's robust design provided sufficient power for tasks such as plowing, cultivating, and towing.

The Trusty Tractor's straightforward construction featured a three-speed gearbox and was compatible with various attachments, enhancing its utility in different agricultural tasks. Its reliability and adaptability made it a popular choice among small-scale farmers and horticulturists.

Today, Trusty Tractors equipped with Norton Big 4 engines are considered valuable by vintage machinery enthusiasts. Clubs like the Vintage Horticultural and Garden Machinery Club (VHGMC) maintain registers of surviving models and provide resources for restoration and preservation.

1914 Morgan Three-Wheeler walk around, start up and run at Leonardslee Gardens, which is the halfway point of the Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club's 2024 Pioneer Run.

Engine in this machine is a 964cc V-twin cylinder.

The 1914 Morgan V-Twin is an iconic three-wheeler, known for its lightweight design and impressive performance. Powered by a J.A.P. (or Peugeot) V-twin engine, typically around 1000cc, it produced 8-11 horsepower. With its steel tube chassis and open body style, it weighed just 300-350 kg, making it nimble and fast for its time. Its innovative sliding pillar front suspension and two-speed transmission added to its racing success. Affordable and classified as a motorcycle, it offered a thrilling alternative to four-wheeled cars, paving the way for Morgan’s legacy in motorsport.

Location for this video is Leonardslee Garden, Lower Beeding, Horsham, England, UK.

Thanks to Paul Bullock and thee rest of the Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club’s crew for having us along to their event.

In this video, we showcase the iconic 1972 Suzuki T500 Titan, a legendary two-stroke motorcycle that defined an era. With its 493cc parallel twin engine producing 47 horsepower and a top speed of over 100 miles per hour, the T500 earned a reputation for reliability and power. Known for its twin exhausts, drum brakes, and classic spoked wheels, this bike was a favorite for long-distance riders, particularly outside Japan, in markets like the United States, Europe, and the UK.

Watch as we do a walkaround of this beautifully preserved classic, fire up its unmistakable two-stroke engine, and take it on the Kop Hill Climb. Hear the distinct growl of the T500 Titan as it showcases the torque and smooth power delivery that made it a favorite in its day. Whether you’re a vintage bike enthusiast or just love the sound of two-stroke engines, the Suzuki T500 Titan still turns heads and hearts, nearly 50 years after it first hit the road.

Location is the 2024 Kop Hill Climb, Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, England, UK.

1973 Offenstadt Kawasaki 500 monocoque racer (500cc air cool parallel twin cylinder engine).

The French machine was built by Eric Offenstadt in 1973 and features Eric’s own monocoque alloy frame and wheels. He had raced a similar monocoque-framed machine in 1971 but found the three-cylinder air-cooled Kawasaki 500 too wide so he switched to a 750 triple engine with the ’73 bike, removing one cylinder to create a unique 500cc twin.

Location is the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Goodwood Estate, Chichester, West Sussex, England, UK.

Not entirely sure who the entrant or rider was at the event but if you know, let us know and we'll update the Post.

Thank you Goodwood for having us along on the day.

Norton John Player racing motorcycles - 1973 Monocoque frame and 1974 Spaceframe.

The John Player Norton motorcycles were a series of Formula 750 racers manufactured by Norton Motorcycle Company from 1972 to 1974 and sponsored by cigarette manufacturer John Player.

The engines on these machines were derived from Norton Commandos. At the time the Commando engines lacked power compared to other manufacturers which led to them to adopt this radical approach to chassis design.

There's not enough room here in the description but some really interesting detail over on Wikipedia on these bikes if you're interested under 'John Player Norton'.

Location is the Brooklands Museums 2024 Motorcycle Day.

2024 BMW R 18 Roctane. This is BMW's biggest production boxer engine. There is a larger boxer on their concept R 20 bike but that's only in concept phase at the moment. Got this bike for a few weeks now. Had a few rides on it and I think I'm starting to get a feel for how it likes to be ridden. She's heavy to handle and move around but once you're rolling it's no worries. Rider in shot and video by Alex Rollings. Instagram: @motofilmer Location is Surrey, England, UK.

1942 Harley-Davidson WLA on display at the Harley-Davidson stand at Motorcycle Live. The Harley-Davidson WLA, nicknamed the "Liberator," was a military version of the civilian WL model, built for the U.S. Army during World War II.

1972 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport vs modern Moto Guzzi V7 - sound comparison. In this video we see John Oakes take off for a ride on the V7 Sport, then in the flybys we see the owner Derek Wardell on the bike, while John rides the modern one. The 1972 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport set the standard for Italian performance and style. Equipped with a 748cc transverse V-twin engine producing around 52 horsepower, the V7 Sport was one of the first production bikes to break the 200 km/h (124 mph) mark. Known for its innovative frame designed by Lino Tonti, the V7 Sport offered a low center of gravity and exceptional handling, with a five-speed gearbox and front drum brakes that made it a standout in its time. Location is Silverstone, Northhamptonshire, England, UK. Thank you Derek for coming to film with us and Moto Guzzi UK for loaning us the modern V7 to ride.

Norton Commando 961 raw engine sound. This video was shot on the Insta360 X4 with audio recorded using the X4's internal mic - optional wind muff attached. No post production on sound. I've been testing this camera now for a few weeks and have mainly been using a plugged in mic but the other day I decided to use the internal mics with the wind muff. I was expecting a lot more wind noise from the internal mics so was impressed when I got back and checked the footage. Location is Surrey, England, UK.
