The 1976 Kawasaki Z900 review starts by complaining that "Inevitably pollution and safety paranoia is catching up with Kawasaki". That sounds familiar today

The very first bike mag that I bought was the June '75 BIKE magazine and I still have it.Several of the others shown on that link are also in a box somewhere in the loft,which are all an insight into my youth and beginnings on a motorbike

Could just have waited for Tef to finish reading them and then post 10,000 word corrections.

When I occasionally used to go to the 59 club just off Hackney Road, they had a room with what seemed to be every motorcycle magazine ever produced since the late 60s.

It was like heaven's version of a doctor's waiting room.

The best bits were the small adverts in the back for things like open face helmet visors with spinning fronts or aerodynamic fins for crash helmets.
