May 2004

SUBTLE SPECIAL
Not all Tritons are built in the ?all out? style, no siree. Keith Fryer has a look at a more civilised version.

FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD
More Brooke Bond than James Bond, Agent Myatt peeks behind the Iron Curtain just to see what he can see.

PROJECT DAYTONA REVISITED
Is it really 50 years since BSA took Daytona by storm? Sure is, have a look at the celebrations and the bikes, oh man, the bikes

RESPONSE
Reader?s opinions are the life blood of any magazine, traditionally we put a selection - a TINY - selection on these pages. Perhaps we?ll do a 132 page letter supplement sometime, eh?

KELLY?S EYE
A certain mobile phone company used to say the ?future?s orange.? It really was when young Kelly re-launched The MotorCycle in the ?70s.

ROD THROUGH THE CASES
Have a read of Ker?s alternative viewpoint on motorcycling.

BIFFA?S BASEMENT
This month Biffa?s been fettling bikes. Well, trying to at least - and making a bit of a muck up if you ask me.

A TALE OF TWO TWINS
Triumph re-launched the Thruxton name on a special Bonnie, Rod Ker thought it might be fun to put the old and the new together for a while.

A GIRL?S BIKE?
Claire Leavey writes. What is this woman on? A Royal Enfield GT 250 restored by the Guru of Royal Enfields.

YOUR CLASSIC
What we always did in this bit was to feature a reader?s restoration, so, for this month we thought; ?why break a winning formula??

A TALE OF TORNADOS
Don?t worry we?re not going to hum Telstar, it?s just Uncle Jim enjoying another tasty Italian.

THE REYNOLDS FILES
As the world moves round, those people who were ?there? when the industry was proud and British are getting fewer. Thankfully, John Nelson is as bright as a button and remembers Meriden clearly.

PLUGS AND LEADS
If it?s happened in the world of owld motorbikes we?ll put it in here. That?s what news pages are for, you see.

WE WERE THERE
The Big Breakfast 2004! Nuff said.

DON?T MISS YOUR CBG Subscribe is the best way to make sure you don?t miss it. This is how to do it, wherever you are, UK or abroad.

Win what? Boots and jeans, that?s what.

FREE ADS!
Yup, free adverts, no pets, no kids, no lonely hearts - just bikes and bits and stuff.

LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE
Whatever comes our way. Born to be out there and doing something.

CLASSIC CLUB GUIDE
