If you wish to purchase more than one magazine - I will happily offer you a discounted postal rate to help out – Not a problem, just ask!
I have literally thousands more Motorcycle magazines, from many, MANY more different publications covering all decades from the 50’s to present day
Please, have look in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue with your bike in
The Magazine that you buy will NOT have the words ‘pygmalion-effect’ across the front cover, like it is in the photo above - that is just my shops ‘watermark’

These magazines are impossible to buy as back-issues anymore
So when they’re all gone, sadly they’re probably all going to be ‘GONE FOR GOOD’!
a good ol' nostalgic read . . . . for just a few quid
