    1926 BROUGH SUPERIOR


    Brough Superior Motorbike 740x555 1926 Brough Superior
    Brough Superior is still considered by many to be the grandest motorcycle marque of all time, during their years of production their motorcycles sold for prices on par with the average house’s value (£130 to £180).
    They were owned and loved by countless celebrities including iconic men like T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) and George Bernard Shaw, in fact T.E. Lawrence famously came to his end in the saddle of a Brough. What many people don’t know is that before he died he owned no less than 7 Brough Superiors and even had an 8th on order that hadn’t yet been delivered.
    This particular Brough is a 1926 model, only 95 motorcycles were made by the factory in 1926, a far smaller number than the 168 in 1925 and 226 in 1927. This is a 980cc JAP engined Brough designated an SS80/100, this makes it an exceptionally rare motorcycle and one of the very few SS80/100s still ticking over today.
    Brough Superior Motorcycle 740x555 1926 Brough Superior
    The 2 primary motorcycles produced by Brough Superior were the SS80 and the SS100, the number indicated the top speed potential of the motorcycle and so an SS80 would be tested before delivery to 80 miles per hour and the SS100 would be tested up to 100 miles per hour. During 1926 there was a delay from engine supplier JAP (this stands for J.A. Prestwich Industries, not “Japan” as one chap tried to tell me last year), faced with a shortage of SS100 engines George Brough decided to fit a handful of SS100 frames with SS80 engines, creating an unusual and exceedingly rare model in the process.
    In 2007 this bike was professionally restored by specialist Tony Cripps, she was completed a year later in 2008 and in 2012 at the 2012 Brough Superior Annual Rally, the SS80/100 was awarded the Stan Webley Memorial Trophy for the ‘Rebuild of the Year’.
    The estimated price tag may make your eyes water at between £160,000 and £200,000, but this is a Brough, and it’s supposed to be a little on the expensive side. If you’d like to read more and register to bid, click the link here to visit Bonhams.

    it roCkS! CB750 Gravedigger


    ItRocks CB750 LSFA 800
    Osvaldo Coutinho and Alexandre Santos are the guys behind it roCkS!bikes, based in Oporto in Portugal. They are both engineers and self-confessed motorcycle addicts.
    This CB750 is a little different from the usual CeeBee customs out there as it’s based on a 1992 bike, rather than the usual 1970s donors that feature on most of our pages. Although more modern machines have more power, better chassis parts and are likely to be more reliable, they have a lot more ugliness to hide and take a lot more work to turn into something desirable, and something that captures the spirit of the seventies that most of us aspire to.
    ItRocks CB750 Clocks & Rear Combo 800
    This bike was built as a showcase for it roCkS! – made to sell – but for now the guys want to get a chance to ride it themselves – which is pretty understandable. We’ll post up on our Facebook pages when she’s available to own.
    The donor for “Gravedigger” was a lucky find, sitting in a local dealer in excellent condition. Osvaldo & Alexandre’s goal was to try an elevate the cafe racer scene to the next level with a modern machine; something provocative and without any previous influences.
    The bike was completely disassembled and everything heavy was dumped or replaced to minimise weight. The rear end section of the frame was cut and shortened. The rear shocks and forks were lowered and stiffened for better handling.
    ItRocks CB750 RSide 800
    The engine was in very good shape, but it was rebuilt anyway, and painted in matte black. Air intakes and filters were custom CNC’d especially for this project. The short, neat exhaust is hand made and wrapped… and is loud.
    The tank, seat and rear section of the bike are one single metal piece that can be lifted for access to the gel battery, fuse box and other electricals. On the side of the tank, there are twin air intakes providing fresh air to the carburetors. The original airbox was removed and the carbs were re-jetted.
    The digital dashboard is a Motogadget Motoscop Pro, which features all kinds of switable information like rev counter, gear, 0-100km/h acceleration, g-meter, etc. The clip-on handle bars, brake fluid reservoir and adjustable levers were are all high quality items from custom favourites LSL, while braided hoses and oil lines are Goodridge.
    ItRocks CB750 FrontBack Combo 800
    The tyres are Heidenau K73 wets, chosen for a combination of handling and looks. The seat is an exclusive handmade leather piece. The final touch is the engine side covers, which were replaced with CNC machined items bearing the Gravedigger logo.
    The guys are already working on a Yamaha XJR 1200 which will be for sale when she’s finished, but they are also very happy to take commissions, so if you like hat you see, you know what to do.
    Overall Osvaldo & Alexandre are really pleased with how the bike has turned out, but most importantly, how she rides and handles. We think she’s a stunner.
    ItRocks CB750 RSRA 800
    The guys want to thank Monstter’s Vitamina, Pedro Alves and Daniel Santos for the metal work, assembly and electrics, Tzi Design’s Tó Zé  for the paint, Headsmotorsport’s Ricardo Monteiro & Rui Monteiro for the parts and accessories and Imagem Marca’s Rui Bandeira  for the photos.

    ABT R8 GTR makes Geneva debut


    ABT R8 GTR at 2013 Geneva Motor Show

    620 HP and 550 Nm

    The ABT R8 GTR based on the 2013 Audi R8 V10 Coupe has arrived in Geneva this week.
    Under the bonnet is the same 5.2-liter V10 FSI engine but instead of 550 HP (404 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) in the Plus variant it now churns 620 HP (456 kW) and 405 lb-ft (550 Nm).
    ABT R8 GTR at 2013 Geneva Motor Show
    Thanks to the extra oomph, ABT Sportsline was able to shave off 0.3 seconds from the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) as the car can now complete the sprint in 3.2 seconds. Top speed has increased from 193 mph (311 km/h) to 202 mph (325 km/h).
    The bodywork has also went through some changes as the hood, front/rear apron, side skirts, adjustable front splitter and the rear wing are manufactured from carbon fiber. This diet has lowered the car's weight by 242 lbs (110 kg) and now tips the scales at 3,340 lbs (1,515 kg).
    ABT R8 GTR
    The ABT R8 GTR also comes with 19-inch forged alloys, a coil-over sports suspension with adjustable dampers, along with a custom stainless steel exhaust system.

    Hamann Mystere based on 2013 Range Rover at 2013 Geneva Motor Show
    Hamann applied a shiny pink coat on a2013 Range Rover which arrived this week in Geneva.
    One of the most striking cars of the Swiss auto show is without any doubt Hamann's Range Rover. Aside from the pink wrap job, the British premium SUV wears a wide body kit that brings a new hood, front spoiler, front bumper, fenders, side sills and a redesigned rear bumper. Compared to the standard model, this modified Range Rover is 80mm wider.

    Avalanche Rescue: Let Loose the Dogs of Snow

    T
    he call comes on the radio almost as soon as Belle and her handler, Gerald, reach to top of the Snake Creek lift. There’s been an avalanche in the resort boundary. Two skiers are buried. They spring into action, the tension and excitement apparent in Belle as the two head along the Snake Creek Bowl traverse to the slide area. Within seconds, Belle has caught the scent of a victim and barrels across the snow field, letting the ski patrol members know where to follow with her eager barking. Her nose leads her directly to the first buried skier, whom she helps dig out.
    The second victim is much harder to find. Gerald guides Belle in a sweeping pattern across the path of the slide and downhill. With no results, they work their way back up. Suddenly, Belle tenses and sprints towards a small stand of pines, barking and baying directions to the men following her. After nearly twenty agonizing minutes, the second victim is freed from the snow, earning Belle her reward of tug-of-war, praise and petting. With both victims safe and the slide area cleared, Belle has passed her test.
    While today’s search was a drill, Belle and the other dogs of the Brighton Avalanche Rescue K-9 (B.A.R.K.) teams are ready at a moment’s notice to respond to accidents and rescue situations in Brighton Resort and the surrounding backcountry areas of Utah’s Wasatch mountains. Under the umbrella of the Wasatch Backcountry Rescue organization, ski patrollers from Brighton and surrounding resorts have developed a partnership with search and rescue groups and the law enforcement community in nearby counties to provide professional training, coordination and new technologies for rapid response in avalanches and other emergency situations.

    The Training of a Rescue Crew

    AMERICAN AVALANCHE ASSOCIATION EDUCATION GUIDELINES
    Avalanche Fundamentals (Level 1): This certification is for the backcountry traveler seeking to be more knowledgeable about local conditions and forecasting. Instruction includes route selection for uphill and downhill travel, snow pack instability recognition, snow field testing and companion recovery. Individuals who attend can expect lecture time and practical exercises on the snow. 24 hours
    Avalanche Processes and Leadership (Level 2): For aspiring guides and safety professionals, Level 2 certification includes coaching on trip planning, hazard management, snow pack metamorphosis, standards for reporting and observation and advanced rescue techniques. Much of the course is spent in the field. 32 hours
    Avalanche Topics (Level 3): Level 3 is the professional certification for senior guides, search and rescue personnel and snow safety professionals. It is a much more fluid curriculum, based largely on prior experience and prerequisites from previous levels. Topics include mountain meteorology, advanced snow forecasting, snow area operations and guiding techniques. Instruction varies, but plan on at least a week of formal class time and on-the-snow activities.
    For more information visit www.avalancheschool.organd www.americanavalancheassociation.org.
    The road to being a fully trained and qualified avalanche rescue dog is not unlike the training regimen followed by police and military working dogs. Selected at a very young age for their natural agility, curiousity and desire to please, rescue dogs begin training as young as eight weeks old. For the first year, their primary job is to learn obedience commands and become familiar with the resort and members of the ski patrol. Once rescue training starts, these “C” level dogs will undergo many tests, like the refresher Belle just took part in. After passing a simulated emergency test, with one victim buried anywhere from 3-6 feet deep, a dog may graduate to “B” level, or resort, status. The “A” level dogs are the heroes of the rescue world, certified to operate anywhere they are called on, and able to replace nearly 50 human searchers when the hunt is on to save avalanche victims.
    Likewise, handlers like Gerald go through rigorous training (it can take years) to become snow safety professionals. Following Basic EMT and mountain medicine courses, members of ski patrol and search and rescue teams attend seminars like the WBR International Dog School, the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association school and other search and rescue courses to hone their skills in training and working with their dogs. Many rescuers are also certified in avalanche study and forecasting. Watching snow conditions for stability and safety has gone from an esoteric process to a very regulated and codified science, and training is available from mountain rescue and guide services across the country.

    A Day in the Life

    Gerald and Belle spend nearly the entire season at Brighton when they are not training at other resorts or in the backcountry. If you’ve ever seen a ski patrol member heading down the slopes with an unlucky toboggan-bound skier or boarder in tow, you’ve seen the most visible part of the job. However, a typical day for a patroller may start in the pre-dawn hours, setting resort boundary ropes and testing snow pack safety, especially if any new snow fell overnight.
    Safety operations also include avalanche prevention. Most often, this means pre-triggering any suspicious slopes using canons, explosive charges, or even sending a patroller down the slope to intentionally set an avalanche off under controlled conditions. Once the lifts are open and guests are on the snow, a patroller becomes a jack of all trades, directing traffic, handling mild accidents, providing first aid and responding to emergency situations that may arise. Belle also gets in on the act, taking a few runs around the mountain and riding the lifts with Gerald.
    In many ways, Belle and her other four-legged friends on the B.A.R.K. team are the best ambassadors for safety the resort has. Her friendly and enthusiastic attitude lends itself to meeting guests — lots of petting and ear scratches are always in order — and to performing her duties as the premier safety pro on the mountain. At the end of the day, when the lifts close and the parking lot empties, Belle and Gerald take one last run to make sure the mountain is clear for the night, then ready themselves for the next routine day or emergency call out.
    Special thanks to Brighton Ski Resort’s Ski Patrol, Wasatch Backcountry Rescue, and B.A.R.K. Team handlers Max McNeal and Gerald Hutchinson, and Belle, Jackson, and Zak the avalanche dogs.

    Winter Ice Trophy 2013


    1969 BMW 2002 Ti works rally car
    The Winter Ice Trophy 2013 was held 24-27 January on a 2.5km circuit in the skiing town of Altenmarkt, Austria.
    The Historic Ice Trophy has been held annually since 2005, open to classic cars and recent classics up to and including model year 1993. The six-hour race, which was held for the second time as part of the Historic Ice Trophy event, saw more than 20 vehicles/teams competing with up to four drivers per car. There’s nothing else like it in Europe in this form and it presents an exacting challenge for professionals and aspiring amateurs alike.
    BMW Group Classic took part in the 9th annual Historic Ice Trophy with a well-known driver line-up and an illustrious 1969 BMW 2002 Ti works rally car, earning a place on the podium by finishing 2nd in the ‘Up to 1972′ class.
    Consistency enabled the BMW team to secure a place in the top 10 overall as well, with the driving skill and class of the Cecotto father-and-son line-up proving decisive. Johnny Cecotto Snr – a multiple motorcycle world champion and BMW touring car champion – and his son, successful GP2 driver Johnny Cecotto Jr, soon got to grips with the conditions and guided the 1969 works rally car around the ice-covered course with great élan. “It was a new and extremely exciting experience for me to drive in this ice race,” explained 23-year-old Cecotto Jr during the podium ceremony. The third member of the driver team was Florian Moser, a history expert at BMW Group Classic.
    The BMW 2002 TI can look back on an eventful history. The 190-hp rally car competed most notably in the European Rally Championship in 1970 and 1971, with Finn Rauno Aaltonen and Poland’s Sobieslaw Zasada in the driver’s seat. “Sobi” piloted the BMW 2002 TI to victory in the 1971 Rally Poland and BMW also won the 1971 European Rally Championship with Zasada at the wheel. That title win crowned the company’s rally racing campaign – one that had started in the late 1960s under the watch of then BMW racing department boss Helmut Bein – in impressive, victorious style.

    vintage60. motorsport footstools


    British-based company Vintage60 designs and sells footstools and bar stools influenced by famous motorsport liveries and helmet designs.
    We’re going to assume for the purposes of this piece that those of you who read our feature back in 2011 on racing&emotion.com(who design chairs inspired by famous motorsport liveries) have spent the time in between thinking, “that’s all well and good, but I’ve got nothing to put my feet on.”
    We’re nothing if not thorough at crankandpiston. It’s taken 18 months of ceaseless searching and a remarkable amount of coffee, but we think we’ve found the solution to this problem at Vintage60. To match the racing&emotion Ayrton Senna-inspired chair in your living room, you can now buy a stool inspired by the Lotus 97T he drove to two victories during the 1985 Formula One season.
    If however you went for Gulf Racing colours chair instead then don’t worry, British-based Vintage60 has you covered. Also up for up grabs are footstools bearing Graham Hill’s famous Oxford Rowing Club influenced helmet colours, Stirling Moss’ Mercedes 1955 Mille Miglia Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (#722), and Jim Clark’s 1963 Lotus 25 among others.
    Each stool comes in either premium leather or synthetic leather-effect contract vinyl. Footstools and bar stools are already available, and the team is looking at moving into coffee table and club chair territory soon.
    Now, we’re not going to lie, the asking price is a little on the steep side, and you won’t get much change from $600. Still, how often is it that you get put your feet up on Gilles Villeneuve’s 1986 #27 Ferrari 126C?

    Bol d'Or : Renaud Lavillenie, de chronométreur à pilote


    After securing another European indoor pole-vaulting title with a jump of 6.01 metres in Goteborg, Sweden, last weekend, the Clermont-Ferrand based athlete has set himself another challenge when he will line-up for the 2013 Bol d’Or as AZ Moto Expert’s reserve rider.
    Tout juste auréolé de son nouveau titre de Champion d’Europe en salle à Göteborg (Suède) avec un saut à 6,01 mètres, le perchiste clermontois va relever un nouveau défi en s’alignant au départ du prochain Bol d’Or en tant que pilote remplaçant du Team AZ Moto Expert.
    Renaud Lavillenie has an accomplished pole-vaulting record, including four French titles and three European crowns, in 2009, 2011 and 2013. He is also the world indoor champion and was gold medallist at the London Olympics. That isn’t sufficient apparently, since the Frenchman, who has always been a big bike fan, will be AZ Moto Expert’s reserve rider for this year’s Bol d’Or (April 20-21).
    Renaud has experience of endurance racing, but on the other side of the pit-wall, as the French team’s timekeeper since the 2011 Bol d’Or. Last August, he even got a taste of track action on a Suzuki Gladius at the final round of France’s Twin Cup series at Le Vigeant.
    Now well and truly bitten by the racing bug, he has made the jump this year and will form part of the N°63 Suzuki/Michelin’s rider line-up alongside Stéphane Mezard, David Nivière and Eddy Dupuy. “It’s a chance to try something new and see what it feels like race on such a powerful bike,” says Renaud who knows he will only take part in the free practice and qualifying sessions. “I will try to be fast, consistent and smooth, and also get as close as possible to the times of my team-mates.”
    Renaud recently took advantage of his association with Michelin to visit the company’s tyre school where he actively contributed to the production of a tyre. He also received tips on how to get the best out of his rubber when he starts testing at the five-day pre-Bol d’Or run at Nevers-Magny-Cours in March when he will familiarise himself with the French circuit.

    Renaud Lavillenie a tout gagné, quadruple champion de France, triple champion d’Europe (2009, 2011 et 2013), champion du monde en salle, et champion Olympique. Mais l’athlète clermontois n’est jamais rassasié. Avide de nouvelles sensations et passionné depuis son plus jeune âge de moto, il se lance un nouveau challenge en devenant le quatrième pilote du Team AZ Moto Expert lors du prochain Bol d’Or les 20 et 21 avril.
    Renaud connait déjà le monde de l’endurance mais de l’autre côté de la barrière, dans le stand du Team AZ Moto Expert où il est chronométreur depuis le Bol d’Or 2011. En août dernier, il a goûté brièvement à la course moto lors de la dernière manche écourtée de la Twin Cup sur le circuit du Vigeant au guidon d’une Suzuki Gladius.
    Piqué par le virus de la compétition, il décide cette année de faire le grand saut et sera au guidon de la Suzuki/Michelin n°63 aux côtés de Stéphane Mezard, David Nivière et Eddy Dupuy. « C’est l’occasion de vivre une nouvelle expérience de l’intérieur » souligne Renaud « et de découvrir les sensations d’une course moto au guidon d’une puissante machine » même s’il ne participera que seulement aux essais libres et qualificatifs. « J’essayerai d'être le plus performant à mon niveau, d'être régulier, propre, et si possible, de réduire au maximum l'écart avec mes coéquipiers. »
    _DSC0502 copie
    Renaud a profité de son partenariat avec Michelin pour visiter l’école du pneu où il a pu participer activement aux différentes étapes de fabrication d’un pneu. Il en a également reçu quelques conseils pour exploiter au mieux ses gommes lors de ses prochains roulages. Il participera à cinq journées d’essais au mois de mars sur le circuit de Nevers-Magny-Cours pour mettre à profit ces conseils et se familiariser avec la piste et la moto.
