The New Year kicked off with one of those mistakes which was just waiting to happen; who forgot to put the subscription page in, then? Eh? Tch. The rest of the issue was a bit of a corker, mind:
* 1958 Ariel Square Four Mk2, ridden and reviewed by Roland Brown
* BSA B31/B33 Bitza: Odgie's own bike is a little bit special
* 1931 Brough Superior: Steve Wilson rides an SS100 just like TE Lawrence's
* 1978 Honda CB750 Seeley: what happen when you wrap a Japanese engine in slimline chassis?
* Norton Commander: Frank Westworth explains his fascination with this rotary all-rounder
* Panther to Horex: a convoluted continental adventure which involved swapping all sorts of odd old motorcycles
* 1903 Large: over a hundred years ago, bikes like this were raced between Paris and Madridd it wasn't a pretty sight!
* Real Deals: We can all see how much sellers ask for their bikes, but what do people really pay?
* Daisy's Diary: Graham Ham meets the Royal Enfield Owners' Club
* Triumph TR6 rebuild: it's finished! Mind you, there's a helluva lot of oil dribbling out of the casesLI>How To set up your own workshop, Part One, which explains about lathes and what you should look for.
