Good letter in Real Classic

[Itsme]

From our own Mr. Ian Soady no less. I skim the letters as I'm not usually interested in them and when I found myself reading about a chap with an ES2 who recently sold a Guzzi V50 I thought 'hang on a minute I recognise this story'.

I didn't think this month's RC was one of the better issues and I have to say I'm a bit fed up (jealous?) of reading about yet another bike bought by Mr Westworth but nice to see a familiar name in print.

I think you are also mentioned in a bike magazine this month Smithy - Check out "Rick's Fixes" in the latest (August) edition of Classic Bike........

Yes RC has become a bit variable these days. I have no interest in reading tests of bikes like the modern Guzzis although the article about the bitsa made with an NSU engine was worth a read. And yet another Bonneville "test" by the retired optician - scraping the bottom of an already worn out barrel.

I don't buy any other mags but our local library (Worcestershire) has a facility to "borrow" digital copies which is useful. Rick's fixes is about the only thing in CB worth bothering with. Didn't see the spartacus ref however.....

Intriguing. I will buy a copy later this week.

Yep, Ian's name is up in lights. Fame at last! There's also a good article on SR500's for the layman like me, though it may be full of errors to the experts on here

I am indeed the Ian Smith that Rick mentions. Been a good month then for Thumperteers in print.
