O Welcome to the Classic Bike Guide
In this issue...In the pink
You know how it goes; despite a workshop full of all sorts of things for fixing motorcycles, there’s always one fastener, nut or bolt that needs a tool you haven’t got.
This doesn’t happen often now as, after 35 years of mucking around with bikes, I’ve amassed quite a stock of tools.
Of course, it helps that I’m a lost cause where tools are concerned and can often be found mooching around tool stalls and shops. I hadn’t realised until recently that this was obvious to my work colleagues until at the modern bike show in the NEC...

O Competition - Win, win, win!!
Win a trip to the Bikers’ Classic Meeting in Belgium!
If you fancy going along to the Bikers’ Classic Meeting, then you can – for absolutely nothing! Yes, that's right, not a thing. You see, the organisers have got together with the Belgian Tourist Board in London and through CBG have a competition for a trip for two to the Bikers’ Classics event on the 5-6 July 2008.
The prize is for two people and includes two all access tickets covering general entry, paddock and permanent pit lane access; a VIP parking slot inside the paddock, two VIP lounge passes (on Sunday they can have drinks and lunch here alongside some of the GP riders); a shuttle tour around the track to get close to the riders in action; and a signed copy of the new book of Kork Ballington delivered by the man himself.
In addition to this, the Belgian Tourist Board have arranged three nights at the Doux Repos Hotel for the 4-7 July – it’s three star, B&B and is 20-30 minutes from the track. Visit www.belgiumtheplaceto.be to see the hotel. And of course you’ll need to get across the Channel so Sea France tickets have been arranged.
In order to win this fabulous prize, answer one simple question!

Bikers’ classic meeting at Spa
The Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium was home to some of the fastest and most exciting racing in the classic era, as the works teams of yesteryear battled it out for GP success.
Name any racer from the classic period and they will have lined up on the grid at the superfast circuit. Well, thanks to the growing popularity of the annual Bikers’ Classic meetings, many of those racers will return to the Belgian track on 5-6 July 2008 with the bikes they raced back then.
