Nah, Ray. Most definitely Just Bikes. Same format as todays mag, but all submissions were posted in by snail mail, not this new email thing.

Just Bikes from 1984???

Do you mean Bike?  Peter Thoeming's first effort.

I've got plenty of mags from that period. Some REVS, AMCN, Two Wheels and most of Bike, including Bob Rosenthal's 'Last XS1100 test ever'.  Not looked at them for several years.

Maybe I should scan/photograph the XS tests and post them.  Surely copyright is finished after 20 + years?

cheers

Just wondering if anyone has a cache of old bike magazines stashed away somewhere. I had one once (cache), but my ex reckoned they smelt "old" so I had to dump them. In particular, I'm looking (praying) for a couple of Just Bikes mags, dated - get this - October or November 1984.
Anyone help me out?
