If you wish to make a multiple item purchase - I can happily offer you a combined postal rate, 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  

Your purchase will NOT have the words ‘pygmalion-effect’ across the front cover, like the thumbnail - that is just my shops ‘watermark’

These magazines are impossible to buy as back-issues anymore, So when they’re gone, they’re probably going to be ‘gone for good’

A good ol' nostalgic read . . . . for just a few quid
