  17. "TM : HISTORY". “It all started way back in 1976 with two friends who had one great love in common: motorcycles and racing. Thanks to the excellent quality and high performance of their motorcycles, that small Pesaro enterprise became in just a few years a force to be reckoned with. The pioneers of TM, Claudio Flenghi and Francesco Battistelli (or rather "Mr Engine" and "Mr Frame") are two childhood friends of the same age who have spent a large part of their lives in direct contact with the world of motorcycles.”

Temple Press, 36. “I 1930-1957. 22 Via Aglebert, Bologna. Once a famous name in the Italian motorcycle industry, the C.M. was founded by the late Mario Cavedagni, a designer-manufacturer-rider. During the thirties, 250-, 350- and 500-c.c. singles with own o.h.c. engines were built; after the war, mostly two-strokes, including a very sporting 250-c.c. vertical-twin, left the works. Rider-designer Ing. Drusiani was also with C.M.”

  39. "Norton Website". The Norton company closed in the UK in 1976. The company reopened in 1995 in Portland, Oregon, United States manufacturing replacement parts and eventually new Norton models. The venture eventually required capital and was bought by Stuart Garner who intends to return production to the United Kingdom.
  40. 40.0 40.1 "Vincent Motors". In 1928, Phil Vincent bought HRD and changed the name to Vincent HRD. In 1949, Vincent HRD was renamed Vincent. Production of Vincent stopped in 1955. In 1994, Bernard Li acquired the rights to the Vincent trademark, and in 1996 formed Vincent Motors, USA. Vincent Motors, USA, made 5 prototype motorcycles in 2002. The engine used in these motorcycles has since gone out of production and Mr. Li has since died. It is therefore not likely that series production will begin.
