Even though I've foolishly trashed hundreds of
thousands of magazines through the years (well,
mayabe not hundreds of thousands, but a whole
bunch!), I still have a pretty good stash of old
motorcyle mags dating from around 1988 - 1995, a
few even older. If anything in that time period
will help, let me know what you're looking for
and I'll see what I've got.
