Just got the latest edition of PB magazine.Inside is a 5 page appreciation of the 851/888 series,followed by a profile of Giancarlo Fallappa.Thought you folks might be interested.

and a short on the Bimota SB8 and an article on Thorsten Durban the RC developer and more MotoGP porn than you can shake your thingy at....

I'm also interested in this please.
Or if someone can buy it for me and send it to me, I would be more than happy.
Offcourse I would pay you then :)

Phil, NUx....PM me your mailing address and I will send you a copy of the magazine. Don't worry about the money, plenty of people in the DSC have done me enough favours to spread a couple of favours around in turn.

thanks screwy, i'll keep my eyes peeled for it!
jools, well done! this is a great forum, we just need a little more activity so we can get our fix!!!

well following on from Jool,s good example I,m more than willing to post it out to you loony if you want it , Its got to beat waiting for it turning up in the news agents ;)

Damn that is great.
PM on its way. Thanks for that!

if you're happy to do that how can i refuse!
muchos gracias!!!!
a P.M awaits, and once again, cheers.

When did the September issue of PB come out - is is recent, or was it at the beginning of July in which case I've probably missed it? Neither Martins nor WH Smith have it round here (yet).

Thanks

Andrew

It's the current issue. Should have been in the shops for a week or so now.

Thanks FiscusFish - got a copy on the way home (another branch of Martins!). Looking forward to a read.

PB is great again these days I reckon. It used to be the reference bible then lost it's way and became a silly boys w**k mag for a while.
Anyway I wrote to them last month and got *Star Letter*
I've won a radio controlled bike! Yay!

You're right there - I used to subscribe 10 years ago or more, then it went all 'max-power' and so I stopped buying it. A few months ago, I wrote to Bike magazine, about their article on an 851 SP2 over a year ago, which inspired me to buy an SP2. They made it letter of the month and I won some very nice Michelin Pilot Power CT2 tyres.

They also forwarded my letter to Gary Inman,the author of the article who now works for Performance Bikes, and he sent me an email, thanking me for the letter, and suggesting I had a look at PB again. I told him I didn't want a bike mag full of T&A, but he said that it had changed and should appeal to the enthusiast. I tried it and he's dead right - it's got such great articles, project bikes, etc written by people with a passion , just like us. And they do seem to have a genuine love of Ducatis !

I would recommend it to anyone.

Well done on your prize Fred !

Hey Paul, the july issue is in news agents now, so wait 4 weeks and you can have your own PB if you want.

Griff

Hey Griff, thanks to screwys generosity, i'll be reading an air mail copy in a few days. and i'm not sure about 4 weeks, august has to be released here yet, let alone sept.

Funny situation to see Griff and Paul from Brisbane talking together throughout DSC ......

Phil911

you don't know the half of it phil!!

thanks heaps for the mag SCREWY, it arrived today, i'll read it over a wild turkey and coke tonight.

A wild turkey and coke? Angry dinner followed by drugs?? Should be a good night! :o)
