The Last Hurrah Book & DVD
Ed's note: While reading the book and watching the DVD I tried to see my self on the same situation as Des & Dick. One can only admire what they achieved!
The most incredible journey probably ever done
on 50 year old British bikes by riders who were even
older! It makes Ewan McGregor’s & Charley
Boorman’s trip look like a piece of cake! Des Molloy
and Dick Huurdeman look like the sort of guys who
should be sedately steering a sleigh in a Santa
parade, not riding old single-banger British bikes half
way across the world through some of the most
difficult and remote terrain imaginable. Des's son
Steve joined this intrepid pair as cameraman and
general factotum for the highs and lows of an
incident-packed three-month trek from Beijing to
Arnhem on ‘Penelope’, a 1965 Yorkshire-made 650cc
Panther, and ‘Dutch Courage’, a 1954 Norton
600. The route took them across the Northern-most
of the Old Silk Roads over the roof of the world
through China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, the
burning deserts in Iran, Turkey, Greece, Italy,
Germany and finally to Arnhem in Holland. The journey
was as traumatic as it was inspiring with the bikes
faring rather better than their riders at times! Was
this idiocy or odyssey? Decide for yourself as you
read Des Molloy's account of their adventures and
misadventures.

Norton CD-Manual
The very best Norton compilation ever produced! Buy this CD & You support BritBike.com
The Norton CD is now into its FOURTH EDITION, and
covers not just the Commando, but all the so-
called "heavy-weight" twins (as opposed to the
under- 400 cc twins) and the "classic" singles - the
ES2, the International,
and of course the Manx. AND, we even have a post-
Commando bike covered, with the inclusion of the
workshop manual for the rotary-engine Interpol 2.
There is a rebuild manual which also covers the
LIGHTWEIGHT TWINS, and the Commando section
has been added to with another Parts List, Stage 2
Tuning
Notes for the 850, and other minor service-related
matters. There is of course a complete set of factory-
issued Service Sheets for the Commando (over 170
pages worth!).
AND we have added a new Maintenance Manual for
the 16H, Big 4, 18, & ES2 singles, and
more "memorabilia". There is also a NEW Engine Data
Base which covers from the 1946 Model 18 to the
1963 Atlas.
This is a single-CD set.
Price: US$59.00 includes worldwide shipping
