Real Classic - April 2006
Issue 24 sees the return of Humbernut to his workshop, welcomes a new contributor (hello Jim!) and goes beyond endurance with a racing Jubilee in Spain
* AJS 18S and sidecar: actually, it's really a history of outfits and how to live with them, as exemplified by owner Neil's experiences with his 1953 AJS and Watsonian sidecar
* BSA A10 Super Rocket: Frank Westworth reports on 'the best A10 I've ever ridden' and manages not to buy it (but only cos it was already sold)
* Honda GL1000: Jim Peace reveals how you can complete roadside repairs on Honda's first flat four with the aid of a secondhand cable tie
* Panther Posse: Ozboy meets a pair of prowlers; a 1960 Panther M100 and a 1964 M120. One rigid; one sprung: one original and one restored. A good example of why bikes come in twosLI>Royal Enfield WDCO: Anarchy goes back to basics with a wartime 350; a bike with girder forks, rigid rear end and a sure foot across the fields
* Triumph 350: our rebuild of a 3TA gallops on to its second installment. Only another 98 episodes to go, then..
* Triumph Bonneville Scrambler: Full road test of the new Hinckley retro, which left us a bit underwhelmed. But it does look better in the metal than in the page
* Triumph TR6 Trophy: and a glance back at a 1959 bike, to remind us what the Scrambler is attempting to emulate
PLUS:
Steve Wilson goes to the Bristol Show; the classic racing circus relocates to Spain, where it rains (snows and hails too); Graham Ham rides out with the VMCC; PUB goes all Woolery again; Frank gets his Interpol2 rebuilt, and Humbernut shows us How To make a gudgeon pin from scratch. And the Howler Count for this issue was pretty low, although one or two snafus did sneak through, to add to your (ahem) entertainment!
