What is it about aircooled RD nuts?

ebay 140356019825. £17 quid already for a copy of Classic Bike. The
mag's not even that old IIRC.

 

In answer to the question in the subject line: Think Lozzo.

 

Yebbut he wouldn't spend that on CB.

<thinks> but he does worry about what containers to keep tax discs in.

 

I rest my case.

 

Ummm, I have a mint copy of that issue that I just dug out of the desk.
I'll see how much that one goes for before listing it on ebay.

 

I'm fucking watching you two cunts.

heh heh. On the subject of Air Cooled Nuts, I had those last night.

Brrr ...

Paul.

 

Bloody hell £19 now. Looks over to pile of old bike mags
<click -Gollum mode>

"precious"
<click - reverts>

Time to off load my 10 year unbroken collection of Bike magazine and
Classic Bike. 10 years ago I unloaded years and years worth of Bike
magazines to TOG and bought a rather nice Takamine guitar with the
proceeds.

 

The only old bike mags that fetch decent money are ones that contain
original tests of some desirable classic bike - T120 Bonnie, Jota, Z1,
RD350LC, Kettle, R90/S etc.

That said, your archive has paid for itself many times over.

 

I'm sure people are mis-reading the description and thinking it's like a
Bacon restoration guide. The RD bit is only 9 pages!

 

What's interesting isthat you used to be able to download the hi-res
PDFs for free from Classic Bike's website, but I've just had a peek and
they've taken the site down, effectively.

I see it is owned by Bauer according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Bike

I assume it was a former EMAP publication. I'm guessing that EMAP retained
copyright to the back catalogue as online archives of other titles don't
seem to be available either e.g. the product tests that RiDE did before the
takeover are no longer available.

 

Right again.

I have no idea. I think it's more likely that Bauer has decided that
they don't want to give stuff away when they can sell it, and if they're
watching eBay, they'll know they're right.

 

This RD cafe racer turned up in my feed reader the other day. Pretty, it is:

AHA! I've seen gold heads like that somewhere before.

 

Aye well indeed!
