EDITOR’S RAMBLE

It’s all right for you lot, I expect you’ve all been making the most of the fantastic weather? Razzing around on your bikes, splatting flies wherever you go and generally tearing up the countryside. While you’ve been ‘busy’ playing out with your mates we’ve been grafting to put this latest issue together.

Not only have we brought you our usual fine mixture of road tests, features and owners' stories but we’ve been slaving away over a hot computer to revamp, update and add new or missing bikes to our Bible (yes it’s finally here!) With well over 700 bikes to sift through, prices to alter and descriptions to write it’s been a hard couple of months but it should all be worth it in the long run. Hopefully our army of readers will appreciate the hard work of our team of IT folk, designers and writers and the new alphabetical format should make it easier for you to search for the bike of your dreams.

Our website will be getting a makeover soon, we’ve already got a few interactive features on there (rider files for instance) but soon the site will be brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century, we’ll be adding content on a regular basis and you’ll be able to peruse many of the bikes that have been kicked out of the mag for being too old. If you want to keep your eye on things visit www.usedbikeguide.com

I hope you enjoy the mag...
