For those who don’t know who ‘Ixion’ was….. It was the pen-name of Canon Basil Henry Davies, an avid motorcycle journalist and clergyman, who wrote for ‘The Motor Cycle’ for an incredible time, from 1903 until well into the 1960’s. He loved Scotts, and many must have been sold as a consequence of his favourable articles. I have no idea just how many long-term test machines he was supplied with, or if they were supplied directly to him without the involvement of the magazine.
