All Our Yesterdays is our look at what was going on
100 years ago and this will also go backwards in time as we get into the WW1
period next year. We are still on the lookout for some interesting ride out
routes and look forward to them coming into routes@fenlandclassics.co.uk
We
will also be launching Fenland Classics TV and providing you will the opportunity
to buy pre WW1 bikes and parts later in the year.
Our passion is older bikes,
but we still have time to applaud the pioneers of today who are developing new
green fuelled motorcycles 100 years after our grandads were bolting engines
onto bicycles and racing them at Brooklands. The first TT Zero for zero
emission motorcycles was held in 2010 and won by American Mark Miller riding a MotoCzyszE1pc
at an average speed of just over 96 mph second was Briton Robert Barber riding
an Agni which incidentally was the first electric motorcycle to ascend Test
Hill at Brooklands bringing the story full circle. The TT Zero continues with
the lap record now held by Michael Rutter on a MotoCzyszE1pc with lap of
104.056 mph. So the speed is there, but sadly not the longevity. So why do we love Zero emmissions bikes? The answer is simple it saves more fuel for older bikes! Things have moved on further and we will continue to keep up with the latest developments on the News page .
