The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

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 :smt003

Still, nice claim to fame :smt038

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?

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).
