A blast from the past!
In March 2021 I was browsing through some of my old motorcycle magazines. There are plenty to choose from as I still own every edition of Two Wheels magazine from January 1973 until December 1992. I keep telling myself that they'll be valuable one day - crazy, I know, but there's nothing much about motorcycling that is logical.
I chose the December 1992 issue because these magazines are a good place to look for ideas for future motorcycle restoration projects - historic vehicle registration in NSW requires the bike to be at least 30 years old. The fact that my next motorcycle will likely be electric, though, doesn't mean that I should stop dreaming!
Towards the end of the magazine, nestled amongst the opinion pieces, I saw a photo of a Suzuki T500J - a 2 cylinder, 500cc two stroke. My eyes were drawn to the photo because I owned one just like that from 1974 until 1976. Then I looked down at the author of the article and saw my name.
I had completely forgotten that I had written this article. It may provide you with some insight into my obsession. This is unliklely, but in 1992 I thought it worth a shot.
The cover.
