    Classic Bike Guide June 2025 magazine is out now, and has a few articles about older classic Triumphs which might be of interest for a bit of bedtime reading -

    Thunderbird transformation - bringing a 1950 Thunderbird 650 back to life

    Triumph TRW - a general guide to this model

    Hinkley Triumphs - a look at the '90's triples and fours

    Add in articles on Hesketh and Moto Guzzi, and it's a good edition of the mag!

    Although I get this classic bike mag each month, I'm not a classic owner, and I don't have any real wish to have one, maybe I've run too many cheap, badly maintained old clunkers in the past..... but there is something about that TRW..... :heart_eyes:

    Yeah that’s a good looking bike.

    I used to get CBG regularly. I thought it was one of the better mags on offer. But like all the others in the end, they just a bit too expensive for me.

    I could revisit that one though.

    I've written a few Readers Rides articles for Motorcycle Sport and Leisure, and get a year's subscription to Mortons magazines free - 1000 words and a few decent photos, nae bother!

    A look at the 1958 Triumph T100 in the December 2025 issue, out soon, and nine pages of Henry Cole..... which may be good or bad, but I'm OK with that!
