Left: Sectioned drawing of the AMC Parallel twin engine. Top right: Marlon Brando sitting on a Matchless twin (the Flying “M” turned upside down) – taken during a break while filming the 1953 cult movie ‘The Wild One’. This bike apparently belonged to movie stunt rider Wally Albright and while some suggest the ‘W’ represented the movie’s rebellious nature it more likely represented Wally’s initial. Above right: Crankshaft assembly with centreweb plate fitted.
