I have been told its out, and can't wait to read it myself....though I'm oddly nervous about it! All in all a good day, as I managed to snaffle a couple of Foo Fighters tickets via O2!!

Hi Crofty
Also looking forward to reading the article on your bike and studying the pics.
What colour are the seats on your bike and are they the original ones?
Did you get all your panels resprayed or are some genuine suzuki colours?
Loads of questions but need to know if the colours are easily matched for my next project. Very Happy

The top fairing and bellypan are NOS from Japan, The seats are Midnight Blue, the riders seat was a lucky ebay find as it was mis listed. The other panels on the bike are painted by Dream Machine, not a bad match.

Hi guys, if you struggle to find the issue in the shops contact our editorial assistant Sally Barker on 01733 468043 or at sally.barker@bauermedia.co.uk and she'll sell you a copy direct.

Hope this helps. By the way, a big thank you to Tim and Darin from Diff'rent Strokers, plus Gary and Rob for all your help with this month's issue.

It is a good magazine, its only quarterly which is a drag, three months between issues is too long! Smile

I have been approached by a journo from Classic Mechanics, with a view to a forthcoming feature on the 250 Gamma. My FG and Andy Bolas' WW Gamma will be featured, it'll be in the next issue, or depending on deadlines, the issue after that! Cant wait to see it in print again!
