First published in 1986, this book has become regarded as a classic and is being reissued by Haynes to meet popular demand. Presented in the format of a Haynes Manual, Vintage Motorcyclists’ Workshop is aimed at the amateur, who is encouraged to attempt almost every aspect of restoration work himself, within the confines of the home workshop. It is packed with detailed practical information and illustration compiled by a highly respected motorcycle restorer.
The pseudonym ‘Radco’ masks the identity of the late Frank Farrington, who was a well-known figure in the Vintage Motor Cycle Club. His fascination for vintage motorcycles developed when, as a schoolboy, he purchased a 1916 belt-drive Radco motorcycle for £3. Throughout his adult life he honoured the memory of this long-forgotten Birmingham marque by using the name ‘Radco’ for all of his technical writing.
