Matthew Vale started his motorcycling career in 1974 at the age of 16 with an NSU Quickly moped, then a BSA Bantam and a BSA B25SS Gold Star. Between the mid 1980s and late 1990s his career and family commitments kept him from biking but the bug never went away. In 1998 he bought his first restoration project, a 1970 Triumph T120R Bonneville. He started writing about bikes soon afterwards and this is his third book. Previous books for Crowood are BSA Unit Construction Twins [2004] and BSA Unit Singles [2006]. Resident - Hampshire, England
