Classic Motorcycle Magazine

Classic Motorcycle MagazineClassic Motorcycle MagazineNach dem Krieg wurde der Name der Harburger Gummiwarenfabrik Phoenix AG bald in Phoenix Gummiwerke Hamburg-Harburg geändert. 1950 schloss die Phoenix einen lang angelegten technischen Kooperationsvertrag mit einem der größten US-amerikanischen Reifenherstellern Firestone, womit für die nächsten Jahre der Anschluss an die modernste Entwicklung in der Reifentechnologie gesichert war. Firestone erhielt in Gegenzug 25 Prozent der Aktien. 1971 wurde der Kooperationsvertrag nicht weiter verlängert, Firestone verkaufte seine Anteile an die Deutsche Bank. Im Anschluss an diese Transaktion gab es Gespräche über eine mögliche Fusion mit der Continental AG, die aber 1972 für gescheitert erklärt werden. 9.000 Mitarbeiter sind 1975 bei Phoenix beschäftigt. Als es 1977 zu einer Konjunkturkrise kommt, gibt es Überlegungen alle deutschen Reifenhersteller in einer neuen Firma der deutschen Reifen Union zusammenzuführen. Die Phoenix hatte in die neu entstandene Firma bereits 78 Prozent ihres Kapitals eingebracht, als durch politischen Druck im Dezember 1977 dieser Zusammenschluss verhindert wurde. Herbert Wehner, zu diesem Zeitpunkt Fraktionsvorsitzender der SPD im Bundestag und direkt gewählter Abgeordneter aus dem Wahlkreis Harburg, und der Hamburger Bürgermeister Hans-Ulrich Klose setzen sich auf Initiative des Betriebsrates erfolgreich für den Erhalt der Phoenix ein. In den folgenden Jahren wird die Reifenproduktion dann eingestellt.

1978 wird der Name auf Phoenix AG verkürzt.

2003 verkauft die Deutsche Bank ihre 13 Prozent Anteil am Aktienvermögens der Phoenix AG an das Unternehmen Daun & Cie. Diese kauft dann in den folgenden Monaten weiter große Aktienpakete, unter anderem die Anteile der WestLB. Im Frühjahr 2004 bietet dann die Daun & Cie ihre Anteile, die inzwischen mehr als 50 Prozent ausmachen, dem Konkurrenten der Phoenix AG der Continental AG an. Es kommt zu einer feindlichen Übernahme, die Phoenix AG wird im Dezember 2004 der ContiTech AG, einer Tochterfirma der Continental AG, einverleibt, mit der sie im Januar 2007 verschmolzen wurde. Hierdurch wurden die Aktionäre der Phoenix AG Aktionäre der ContiTech AG.

classic motorcycle magazineIn the late fifties, East German car Manufacturer Automobilwerke Eisenach run advertisements in West German magazines like "das auto - motor und sport" to offer its Wartburg car. The car was quite modern by the standards of the time. It was sold at a price of a Volkswagen Beetle.

In den späten fünfziger Jahren schalteten die Ostdeutschen Automobilwerke Eisenach Anzeigen in Magazinen wie "das auto - motor und sport" um den Verkauf des Wartburg anzukurbeln. Das Auto war für damalige Verhältnisse recht modern und wurde zum Preis eines VW Käfer angeboten.

Europes #1 American Lifestyle Event held annually in the heart of the UK.

Europe's #1 American lifestyle event just keeps on growing. The show regularly attracts more than 70,000 weekenders, exhibitors and day visitors. This massive tribute to the USA is unique in its widely ranging attractions that appeal to tens of thousands of like-minded people from all over the world. For well over two decades the event has given its faithful supporters a long weekend of cool American music, great cars, motorcycles, trucks, RV's from the early 1900s to the present.

Organisers Chris & Bev Jackson, from Stapleford Nottingham are both confirmed classic car and bike nuts, long standing club members of the two biggest American car clubs in the country (AACUK & AACNW). They have turned this one time small local show into the biggest and longest running event of its kind in Europe.

By taking a slice of the 'American Dream' they have created an amazing week-end that has no equal anywhere outside of the USA. Much more than a car show or music festival its all of these combined into one massive fun-filled family orientated event.

The Saturday and Sunday auto/bike displays are second to none with a huge number of top class cars and motorcycles entering the specially judged 'show and shine' displays. With forty prestigious awards on offer competition will be strong.

For those who were born in the forties and grew up through the 50s, 60s , 70s and 80s this event has forty-two popular artistes from the USA/EUROPE/UK performing a great mixture of rock'n'roll/country/r&b/blues/alternative music from the last five decades.

Mix all that with several hundred associated trade stands, side-shows, amusements, auto/bike club displays, children's amusements, talent contests, Ride The Raging Bull, Flight Simulators, tattooist, line-dance & jive tuition, on site camping facilities, four bars, high quality food vendors & so much more to see and do.

Anyone wishing to attend the event as an auto/bike exhibitor should request the correct entry form. We can be contacted by telephone or email. Alternatively it is possible to download booking forms off our web site.

I remember riding into what was quite a heavy drift, the snow very quickly compacting in front of me, and coming to a dead stop - with me nearly over the bars. This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.





classic motorcycle magazineMy mum was having someone shoot some photos of her horses, and I guess the photographer had a few frames left on his roll of film, because I was asked to quickly get "my gear" on and bike out. This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.







classic motorcycle magazinePeople always used to laugh at SS50's, the Suzuki AP50 and now-classic Yamaha FS1E being the "ones to have". Unless you really enjoyed fiddling with bikes, in which case you rode a Fantic or Malaguti!

So I followed the detailed instructions in an issue of Motorcycle Mechanics magazine and made it an "SS70". This involved getting a 70cc barrel from a breakers, and a brand new 70cc piston and ring. I took the piston into Mr Lush's school metalwork lesson, and machined the crown on a lathe to the specified dimensions so's it would fit the 50's combustion chamber. I remember firing it up for the first time, and the intake valve was just hitting the piston, so I had to file a little off the piston. But after that it went like a dream, in fact the power was so good that one day I totally lost drive. On investigation I found I'd sheared the square splines clean off the clutch basket!

I recall the speedo reading 64 (or 67?) mph at one point, prone with a tailwind heading downhill towards Minehead Fire Station. Not bad! This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

George Barber raced, modified, and maintained Porsches in the 1960's (63 first-place wins). He started collecting and restoring classic sports cars in 1989, but his interest soon turned to motorcycles. Mr. Barber recognized that there was not a museum which reflected the history of motorcycles around the world. He wanted to preserve motorcycle history in the United States in a way that represents an international aspect and to supply an example of motorcycles that until then could only have been seen in books and magazines. This was the theme used in the development of the Barber collection. An interesting aspect of the collection is that restorations are done in-house. Out of the same shop a vintage motorcycle race team operated with the challenge of maintaining and racing historically significant machinery. These bikes were routinely campaigned around the United States so that they could be enjoyed and appreciated in their original setting, rather than collecting dust in a garage. The Barber Vintage Motorcycle Team has won seven national championships.

In 1994, the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum became a 501c(3) non-profit foundation and on March 14, 1995, the museum was officially opened to the public in its original location on Birmingham's Southside. It was open from there until November 1, 2002.

The Museum reopened at its new location at The Barber Motorsports Park on September 19, 2003.

The collection now has over 900 vintage and modern motorcycles and as well as a substantial collection of Lotus and other racecars. It is considered the largest in North American and possibly the world. There are approximately five hundred motorcycles on display at any given time. (There are over 900 in the collection.) These bikes range from 1904 to current-year production. There are bikes from 16 countries that represent 143 different marques. The common street bike is represented, as well as rare one-off Gran Prix race machinery. Bikes have been purchased from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden, but also as close as down the street.
