Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Magazine 377 March 2019 Edizione posteriore

I know I usually drone on about what’s in the issue and stuff, but just this once I wanted to say about who DID this issue. Yours truly is the sole person who is on this mag full-time, so some ask me if I feel like I’m alone. I’m not. We have a great team of magazine designers who work hard making the magazine look as good as it does. We have a production editor who checks for my mistakes (ok, some get through – to err is human, eh?).

We have a sound advertising team that tries to make this magazine pay its way (I couldn’t even begin to do what they do), and a marketing team that helps promote what we do in the magazine. Then there’s the events department that makes the show happen at Stafford every October. That’s barely scratched the surface, really. Check the panel on the left to see who
puts something into the magazine – and that’s just the people we can fit in that list.

Then there are the contributors. I’d love to be able to tell you that being a motorcycle journalist will make you rich, but it won’t, at least not financially. What I can say, however, is that the richness comes from working with decent, fellow bikers who (as we know) are the salt of the earth and a real fraternity, whatever their gender. Here’s to a good 2019 and ‘keep on keeping on!’
