Hi,
Since the late great John Robinson of Performance Bike died there has been no practical anything bike magazine unless you are talking vintage bikes .
The rest of the mags are marketing puff pieces with no real figure what so ever (except of course the telephone number price tag ) .

That is what I was referring to by "vintage bike mags" there is another but it is wider sweep for all sorts of bike.
What amazes me is all these kind of mags are UK based but seem to be unknown anywhere else in the world.

It's the same story with auto mags. I used to have access to some of the VW-related publications from across the pond. Infinitely better than the US mags. Including, but not limited to the eye-candy (ladies). Where did this country go so wrong? lol

The Nobles over here got greedy and convinced the whole population that they were being mistreated.

I have to admit I have never understood the utility of monarchy, though.

We now return you to the actual topic of this thread.
