Into the sunset...
This issue of Used Bike Guide is quite a special one; firstly you’ll notice that it comes with a free copy of our great sister title Motor Cycle Monthly. If you’ve never picked it up at a local bike night or shop then you’ve been missing a treat... a free one at that!
Hopefully you’ll enjoy it because sadly this will be the last ever issue of Used Bike Guide. But don’t despair because MCM will be carrying a regular monthly section aimed at the used bike market, so be sure to pick up your free copy every month. UBG subscribers will be contacted shortly, so don’t panic if you’ve got a current subscription.
Personally, I’d like to thank all of our regular contributors for their help since I’ve been at the helm and our readers for their continued support.
Anyway, enough of the sadness and on with this issue. As we’re heading towards summer we thought it was the perfect time to check out a few cruisers, so we’ve got plenty of heavy metal for you to read about... and it’s a fitting way for us to head off into the sunset...

Here we are again folks, the daffodils are out and I can hear the sound of high revving exhaust pipes in the distance. It’s time for us all to get out there and ride our bikes, after what seems like a lifetime of being wrapped up, plugged in and misted up we can finally shed a few layers, treat ourselves to some new riding kit and spend some money on bike goodies as well.

Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all had a great time over the festive season and you got all the biking presents you wanted. The magazine industry is a bit strange, due to print deadlines etc.

If you’ve blinked a few times you’ll have missed this year, it only seems like five minutes ago since we were last looking at winter riding but it was actually 12 whole months ago, then summer arrived and now we’re winding down for Christmas!

Welcome back folks!
Personally, I’ve had one of the most enjoyable bike riding summers ever this year. Obviously it was helped by the great weather (forgetting the soggy August of course!) but I seem to have really enjoyed every ride I’ve been on, whether for work or pleasure.

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.

I hope you’re all having fun out in the sunshine, the last few weeks have been fantastic for biking and long may it continue.
