Yes.



Did go to the 90's track evening at Cadwell, but I'm not in any of the pictures that have been in the mag

Thats the pic!

So, do you feel famous?!

I had a letter printed in there once!

Oh. Gem has a new sig. Distracting.

What was this topic about again?

It's hypnotic. There she goes again... And again

Can't
Look
Away....

At roughly £5 a mag.....NO CHANCE!!, that's about half a tank of fuel and 60 miles riding. Better to just wait till I see one of my mates who have bought it and nick theirs

Still, nice claim to fame

managed to get a picture of the espace (fully loaded with both bikes of course) in PB

Its the only mag we get on a regular basis - the Barrons guide to the 'ring was good, and I guess with them using the 'ring to test bikes it was something I could relate to a bit more.....
But, as Dale isnt writing for PB any more, I dont think theyre using it as their 'test track' any more?

Opps, wrong mag, but still £2.99.... that's still about a quarter of a tank and about 35 miles riding ... no I'm not scottish

It appears that particular chapter of PB history has closed. AFAIK the Nurburgring PBTT was always Dale's baby and since he has parted ways with PB, apparently not on particularly good terms, the chances of it resurfacing are pretty slim.

It's a shame, because I always enjoyed reading those tests, regardless of whether I was interested in the bikes they were testing (generally not).
