Velocette (pronounced velo-set) is an icon of the classic British motorcycle scene. Engineering excellence mattered more than the whims of the market to the Goodman family, owners of Veloce, Ltd., manufacturer of the Velocette motorcycle. This painstakingly assembled book details the history of the machines' development and competition success, as well as the story of the family behind the marque. Run with honesty and integrity, the company gained a loyal following and a reputation for building quality machines before closing its doors in 1971, beset by the economic factors that caused the downfall of the whole of the British motorcycle industry.
