NO TIME LIKE SHOW TIME
A common grumble is that magazines like this one… okay, exactly this one… don’t carry enough technical stories. I never argue, not least because I always enjoy reading them. Another common grumble is that magazines like this one carry too many stories which are too technical. I never argue, because the skill levels of some…

Style & substance
BACK IN THE DAY, you were either warm and dry (with an oh-so-not-sexy shiny Rukka suit) or classically cool (in every sense) in a leaky black leather jacket. The latest clothing range from Knox combines both style and weather-protection with an innovative new system of layering, to add flexible armour to your riding ensemble. The…

Charge your passion!
THE K612 BATTERY CONTROLLER is one of those unfathomably brainy bits of kit which is so sophisticated that it might spontaneously develop its own intelligence, so don’t be surprised if you find it presenting Top Gear next month. All the BC range of automatic smart chargers are a cut above the usual trickle chargers –…

Bike Shed London
THE BIKE SHED almost defies definition. It’s a loose organisation of like-minded riders committed to all types of modified machines. It’s a London-based club, with a permanent club/bar/restaurant/music venue in Shoreditch, celebrating all that’s good about two-wheel culture. And it’s rapidly becoming a ‘brand’. Bike Shed is also a London show, now in its third…

Southern Classic Motorcycle Show
THE ANNUAL KEMPTON PARK show and bike jumble attracted its fair share of interesting machinery. From the unique to the ubiquitous, the pristine to the patinated, there was something to delight, intrigue and inform anyone who had even a passing interest in two-wheeled transport. Many marques were represented in the private entry exhibits and on…

Veteran ride
FORMER SOLDIER Colin Stinson plans to ride 5000 miles around the coast of Britain in 25 days, aboard his 1967 Metisse scrambler. He’s raising funds for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity. Says Colin: “I had a very full career in the Army and to me they are my second family. “This rideout will give me a…

Mystery Solved
I’VE BEEN LOOKING at the mystery bike photo in April’s issue. Not very good is it? However, to me the bike is not a Cotton, but a New Imperial. You can clearly see the almost-meeting pushrod tubes of New Imperial’s distinctive own engine produced from 1926. If this bike did not have a high level…

American Triton
Yankee cafay. Too strong a brew for British taste? Out for a sunny Sunday morning ride on a snooker-table smooth back road, lined with hedges, stone walls and barbed wire fences, the characteristics that define a Triton are felt through the seat of the pants. The road meanders through mile after mile of lush green…

Gary Thwaites won all seven UK 1300cc classic races in 2012 on a 1007cc Seeley fitted with JSMotorsport components There’s certainly a lot to love –…
