RACE RELATIONS Just in case you think Boris restricts his brand of insanity to the road, be disabused. He has been racing – in British, European and American Racing and Supporters Club (BEARS). We enter the story when he’s just rung Steve Brouggy, who runs Superbike schools, and asked for help.
BEAR FACED CULLEN BULLEN ON THREE Can’t be sure about this – a lot of alcohol has swished around the old axons since then – but I think I had just been appointed editor of Two Wheels magazine when this happened. Either that or I was still Associate Editor – a wise man had once told me never to be an “assistant” anything – and about to be elevated. Not that it mattered, I was doing all the work anyway. But at this particular time I had managed to get away for a few days, and was on my way to visit friends in Cobar.
New motorcycle prices go up, they go down. It can be hard to keep track of all the changes. Australian Motorcyclist Magazine supplies you with all the latest up to date prices from all the manufacturers currently in the country. Things like special deals, cash backs, factory discounts and bonuses are what you’ll find. Bear in mind all prices (unless indicated) exclude dealer and on road costs and some prices may have changed at the last minute as we went to the printer.
WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU, the letters are among the most keenly read parts of the magazine. Please try and keep letters down to no more than 300 words. Then you can read many, not just a couple. We do reserve the right to cut them and, unless you identify yourself and at least your town or suburb and state, we will print your email address instead. Please address letters to thebear@ausmotorcyclist.com.au or Australian Motorcyclist Magazine, PO Box 2066, Boronia Park NSW 2111. All opinions published here are those of the writers and we do not vouch for their accuracy or even their sanity!
LESTER’S KAFFEE KLATSCH COMES WITH A GOLD SEAL GUARANTEEWORDS LESTER MORRIS Over several Millennia, if not for billions of years, the normal course of Evolution has seen many basic design changes taking place, either through necessity or simply because an original design didn’t quite work as well as it might. Throughout the eons the changes in many of those original designs have happened to two legged animals like us; it has happened to internal – infernal? – combustion engines; it has happened to motorized transport designed for two wheels or four; it has happened in buildings and it has happened even more dramatically in the designs of aircraft, essential life-saving drugs and other medical supplies.

BACK WAY TO THE ROCK EXPERIENCE THE REAL RED CENTRE The real Red Centre? Oh yes; and once you’ve seen the stars out here at Kings Canyon or Uluru, you will know exactly what that means. Not only that. These rides will take you to several of Australia’s unique (and I don’t say that lightly) natural attractions. What they will not take you to see is the real, actual centre of the Red Centre, the geographical centre of Australia.
