Star letter: Thanks for the memories
18 January 2012
Your articles in the November 2011 edition about Mr Rainey, his very cool VFR and that history-making day at Brands in 1987 made me dig out my photo album to remind me of my own memories on that sunny Good Friday.
Bike blog

I had previously been speaking with Rod Gibson (RIP) – way back in the May 2009 issue you published some info about my bike (the GSX-R special) that was stolen and destroyed.
At all costs

I thought I would drop you a line to add my tuppence worth to the recent letter on why we spend far more on restoration than the final product is usually worth.
Colour change

Hi to all you lovely people at CMM – you will probably dismiss this as trivial trash but could you please stop printing parts of your Q+A page in black on brown, as it is difficult to read with my gammy eyes!
Old School
16 November 2011.
I was thrilled to read the YL1 article in the November CMM issue. This was the first bike I fell in love with as a 12-year-old back in late 1969.
Missing parts

I’m a bit behind I know but I just wanted to put the record straight on some things you wrote when putting together the CB250RS.
Mechanical sympathy
19 October 2011.
I was wondering if you could provide me some details of any mechanics courses in the UK, especially for classic bikes.
Colour wise

I read with interest the Tool Expert ‘Bench grinders’ page in the July edition of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics.
Q&A: DR Carb Conundrum
21 September 2011.
Q: Can you confirm this bike as a DR350SE? The chassis number is SK42A-115***. It is registered on an ‘N’ and is electric start.
Lucky draw
21 September 2011.
I had the good fortune 31 years ago to attend Night with the Stars in London with my four mates and our wives. I bought all of the tickets because I was the oldest in the ‘gang’, handed them out and in we went.
