 ;) no offence intended but i had been on the wobbly water so i did have my sarcastic head on that night ,nothing i like better than a few cans of stella while tinkering with my bikes  :)
         on reflection yes it does sound a little harsh, but a very good mate of mine did lend one of his bikes to a well known custom bike magazine, and they really went too town on it, they scrapped the pegs and exhaust,he wasn't very happy with how they had used the bike, as he thought it was just for a photo shoot, their reply was well we wanna ride  em as well .at the end of the day if people are happy too give their pride and joy too a complete stranger to race up and down the countryside then no problem,but i have spent too much time and money on my CB750's,and i would never do it ,even if they did offer money up front   :-\
      and anyway there is nothing they can tell us that we don't already know and have heard it all before . we know what they are like to ride because own and do ride them ,and we can get all the info we need right here and other web sites just like this forum , i don't buy magazines any more simply because of this .i just think how times have changed they call em now "the first superbike" why because they want sell mags and make loads of money ,what ever happened to all the "jap crap" and "rice burners"  ;D we got em

The photo shoot was today in the Cotswolds.

Eamon and I went with his '69 CB750 - it's a US "K0" - about 300 off a sandcast.

Also there were a lovely white Mach III 500 Kwack and a beautiful US-spec Triumph Trident.

The three bikes were photographed in various places and with some dynamic shots on sharp bends.

The guys at Classic Bike don't screw around with people's treasured bikes and are very careful.

Check out the next issue!
