This month:

No refunds! –

You’ve enjoyed owning your old bike but it’s time for a change. Whether you need more space or some cash in hand, there are now more ways than ever before to sell a classic motorcycle. Rowena Hoseason explores your options.

Royal Enfield 250s –

Royal Enfield’s unit-construction 250 singles were tailor-made for the teenage tearaways of the 1960s. But how well have they stood up to the test of time? Paul Henshaw shares his hands-on experiences with Crusaders, Continentals, Clippers and more.

Vincent Comet –

For the last 35 years, John Waltham’s back-up bike has been a pre-war Vincent Comet. It’s always played second fiddle to his Number One motorcycle. Finally, it’s time for the 500 single to step out of the shadows.

And there’s lots more, as well as the regulars, including: We’ve Got Mail!, Pub Talk, Ollie’s Oddjobs and Tales from the Shed.
