The Classic MotorCycle Magazine 47-8 - August 2020 Zurück Ausgabe

Welcome to The Classic MotorCycle Magazine August 2020...

That’s three lockdown issues down, how many more to go? As I write, it feels like some degree of normality is returning but, well, we’re far away from a total return ‘back to the old days’ – remember them?

When you could meet pals for a pint, not have to stand outside shops in a queue and when ‘social distancing’ was just what you chose to do with people you didn’t want to see (‘avoiding them’ as it is otherwise known), not your nearest and dearest. I’m still at my dad’s, though I have been able to be getting out and about a bit more; it’s lovely to be riding again. But we’re still not in a position where we can go and visit anyone much, so that’s why you’ll have certain ‘close to home’ features in this issue; with dad’s AJS, our project (I can’t really say ‘my’ with a clear conscience; as I sit indoors at the computer, dad’s outside working on it, every day) Velocette, Rachael Clegg’s dad’s photo album and recollections, as well as Martin Squires’ father-in-law’s shed. We’re all trying to generate new content, best we can, how we can.
