REGULARS

• In balance
Going outside the comfort zone pushed personal boundaries.

Tell us what’s happening and we’ll tell the world, we’re like that you see.

• Dirt products
Here we seek out as many products as we can to help your bike go better. Over to you dealers... what ya got?

• Talking technical
Our Can-Am went... but before it did we put lights on it. This is how we did it, other bikes could benefit too.

• Smith tales
More from the man who’s been there, seen it, done it, got the T-shirt… and the trophies... and the world championships.

• An hour with…
…the American ISDT stars. There’s a lot of them and Norm Dewitt has the enviable task of corralling the lot into one feature.

• Dirt talk
This is it, this is where you get to say what you think, are we doing it right? Are we doing it wrong, tell us here.

• Moto memories
MotoCross says ‘glitzy glamour’. This, however, is ‘scrambling’ which suggests mud, more mud and, yes, even more mud.

• Wright or wrong
Oh boy, does Wrighty stir it up! This time though he’s in agreement with the progress trials has just made… sanity returns to the feet-up world.

FEATURES

• Hot Honda
There’s a lot of plastic bodywork on an Evo MXer, luckily Rad Fismistr is a plastics expert… he’s done a pretty god job of the rest of the bike too.

• Original and unrestored
First in our occasional series of bikes that remained unrestored, such as this Francis-Barnett trials bike. This is how they were.

• A matter of unfinished business
Development never really stops for a works rider and a little thing like the factory closing 30 years ago is a minor detail.

• Hot Husky
Chris Montignani tells of a CR250 Husqvarna inspired by family connections.

• You need…
…one of these in your shed. Maybe you don’t realise it, but you do! Drool over this JBR Honda.

• Montesa Cappra
Sometimes a pic will arrive in the inbox and the comment “d’you like my bike?” accompanies it. Oh yes Simon, we do like your bike.

• Some of the not so old ‘evo
Put a bunch of Evo bikes together with two of the top riders from the era and see what happens – this time the Mono Yamaha, arguably the very start of it all.
