Just in case you're new to this game, here's a quick re-cap. RealClassic is a monthly magazine about old bikes (although the odd new one sneaks in now and then). It's published monthly by the Cosmic Bike Co Ltd (which is Rowena and Frank Westworth's own little business). It's not owned by any of the big publishers and it is, as a result, a bit wonky around the edges. However, it's a full 112-pages long, printed in our very best Smudgy Colour, and packed with plenty of reading and not too much advertising. You can only get the current issue by subscribing, but last month's mag is now up for grabs. So here's what's in it:
* BSA Firebird Scrambler: Roland road-tests the most unusual A65 we could find
* Ural Gear-Up: We sent Anarchy to Siberia, and he had a good time (Sigh) romping around on a modern bike built in the Russian tradition
* Triumph Tiger Cub: Another oddity. Cubs may be common, but there aren't too many French Army military examples to be found
* Velocette Venom Thruxton: Frank Westworth unearths an almost original special, once owned by marque specialist Geoff Dodkin
* Francis-Barnett Boys: Steve Wilson takes a trip to meet up with the F-B club
* Prince of Pembrey: ferocious racing in the CRMC series
* How Toke a piston, part three
* Ariel Leader Rebuild, part too many to remember. Featuring a plethora of paint
* Honda 400/4 rebuild: nearly finished, and then the carb saga strikes
* Daisy's Diary: Graham Ham chuffs off to a steam weekend
* A Vintage Ride: Humbernut and StillJoe rides really old bikes around the post-industrial wilderness of England's north-east

PLUS:
Frank's From the Shed, Tony's Page, J Bickerstaff and PUBTalk, and heaps of old bikes for sale, news, events and all that jazz

And finally, Goodbye LJK: Mark Williams and Dave Minton bid farewell to one of motorcycling's most famous names
