The ‘Free’ Gifts that are sometimes given away with the magazine (i.e. cloth patches, key-rings, sticker sheets, nude girl pin-ups, lingerie model calendars, supplements, info booklets, supplementary posters or giveaway ‘freebies’ gifts), are not always still attached anymore, or even with the magazine – if they are, consider it an added bonus to the purchase, but please don’t expect them to be included within your purchase of the magazine
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 publications, covering decades from the 50’s up to present day – Please, have look in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue with your bike in
Please Note: Your Purchase 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 now impossible to buy as back-issues anymore
So, when they’re gone, sadly they’re probably going to be ‘GONE FOR GOOD’
A good ol' nostalgic read . . . for just a few quid
