014 STAFFORD SHOW
We were there. It was vast, fun
and frantically fast. Weekend
gone in a flash. Great people, as
always, and great bikes, ditto

022 KICKBACK
We were there, too. Very different
kind of event, lots to look at, less to
buy. Great bikes and people, again

030 TRIUMPH SPEED TWIN
Mould breaker, world changer, every
cliché applies. They’re all true, too

Donkey worker, peaceful plodder,
dependable friend. No Gold Star, this

038 MV AGUSTA 350S

When RE decided to offer a little
weather protection for their riders,
they did it their way. Like this…

074 TRITON
Think you’ve seen it all before?
You have not. Try this, a Triton
for a very sunny afternoon

082 JAPANESE CLASSIC BIKE GUIDE
With a truly remarkable selection
of the prices real bikes were sold
for. There’s a scarily wide range

092 BSA UNIT SINGLES
From the ‘learner’ C15 through to
the heart-stomping B50, there’s
something for everyone. Probably
