THE AUTHOR
Rod Burris has been a Velocette enthusiast for some 50 years. Having spent 30 of those years researching the model, he is well placed to author this book, which builds upon and enhances the groundbreaking work published many years ago in his original volume. As an active member and official of the Velocette Owners' Club, Rod has been able to gather the information for this book from a wide variety of contacts and sources, and the result is a larger, more comprehensive historical and technical document. As one critic said: "THE best book about Velos – I know because I’ve got the lot. Go buy it.” Rod is a science graduate and semi-retired teacher. He rides a Venom Clubman, which he has owned for nearly 40 years.
