PS Subscriptions!
I work on Practical Sportsbikes magazine as the New Art Editor (Austin Smith) Forum User MostyVFR400 (1989 NC30 Owner)
(my identity has now been revealed!)
sil3nt - What i can say is that If you call Sally Barker she will gladly help sort out any back issues for you (as she is a big fan of the mag!), but she doesn't deal with subscriptions. What I'd do is get the latest issue as a back issue, then subscribe from the pages within the mag. The offer within the magazine will be far better as you'll get a better deal and offer than going through
http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk which will charge full wack, as it's our standard company subscriptions page..
...and i'll give the editor a kick and ask him to reply to you. hope this helps.
any problems you can get me on

nice to have you boys here.
So with 400's getting trendy again, hows about arranging a mass 400 meet and photoshoot one day ?

I have had a response from both Sally and the Editor so thanks but no need for the kick!
To save me some money can someone please tell me which issues have articles on the 400s? Looks like #4 has the RVF and #5 the VFR.

Issue 1 has a Honda V4 Family Tree
Issue 4 has 2 pages on the Honda RVF400 NC35
Issue 5 Lyndon's Perfect example of The NC30
Issue 5 has a road test including a 1985 NS400 which is very nice!

Had a chat with Kar Lee on the Wolf stand at the London Bike show as I was sorting his mate out a suit.. Bloody nice chap to be honest and was a breath of fresh air compared to a few jounos that I have spent time with..
He said he was doing a fair bit on PSB, is he still at PB?? I havent purchased it in ages so have no idea!!

Aye Kar Lee & his missus are really nice people, was on a double trackday in france last year with them & booked up for this year too. Proper bikers they are genuinly into their bikes.
