Practical Sportsbikes Magazine (Aug)

[Tony Nitrous]

As an ex bike mag junkie, I used to buy almost all.
PB, Fastbikes, Superbike, AWOL, Streetfighters, BIKE, MCN, etc etc,
I had a good job and time to kill at work !

Now I only buy one.

Just picked up the Aug issue, the usual mixed bag of mostly interesting (to me) stuff,
heaps on Yam LC's , a nice feature ith my favourite "SD" Kat and a write up on the old
Superbike Magazine Ultimate Streetbike series.

You know what? I've never even held a copy! That obviously launched in the UK after I left and I'm buggered if I've seen it here. Where do you get it? Direct subscription?

I started buying these about 10 issues ago as suggested by Tony about the time SF Mag bit the dust, great magazine. I highly recommend it too. Few Streetfighter features in it sometimes too. Sometimes they have Top 5 of a Model, the one a few issues back with top 5 Yam TRX's was pretty good.

Si, I just pick it up at the newsagents. Normally Stafford for me.

There's normally a couple at least of modded bikes in each issue, fighters, drag bikes or specials
and interesting stuff on Classic Muscle like big Zeds, GSX's, CB's etc.
A good mixed mag without any bland new bikes, cruisers or antique stuff I normally skip over.

Yep, it's my favourite. Really good tech articles as well. All sorts from making carbon fibre covers, to converting wasted spark bikes to run stick coils, and diy carb balancers and sand blasters. And yep, most golden caskets have it.

Was a good mag. Met the guys a few times at shows and events.
Their "Frenzy" events, LC's, Katana's etc were mad.

The mag was never the same after the deaths of Ronnie Smith, Gus Scott and John Robinson.

Agreed.
