The ‘Free Gifts’ that were occasionally attached to these magazine (i.e. cloth patches, key-rings, sticker sheets, nude pin-ups, calendars, supplements, booklets, posters etc) are probably no longer still attached, or included anymore – if they are & you get it, consider it a bonus, but please don’t buy expecting that free gift to still be included with your purchase
If you wish to make a multiple item purchase - I happily do combined postal rates, Not a problem, just ask!
I literally have thousands more Motorcycle magazines, from many, many more publications, covering all decades
Please consider looking in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue relating to your bike
Your purchase will not have the words ‘pygmalion-effect’ across the front cover, like it is in the thumbnail photo - that's just a watermark

These magazines are impossible to buy as back-issues now, So when they’re gone, they’re sadly going to be gone for good !
