Classic Motorcycle Mechanics  |  380 June 2019
I guess we all get to an age where we almost look to our futures in some way or another. Be it saving for a rainy day, buying a house together with a partner, or taking out an insurance policy.

Over the last few years I’ve loved tootling along on something stylishly old-fashioned but thoroughly modern, be it a ‘new’ Triumph Bonnie, a Guzzi V-twin, a Kawasaki Z900RS or – next month – Suzuki’s new Katana. The future is as bright as our past, so let’s embrace it.
