The cover story on the March issue of Classic Bike magazine is a restored Suzuki GS1000S that was unearthed in a garden and transformed into a reliable road bike by its owner. The tale of how Hinckley Triumph’s first factory-supported racer became a winner is also told by Alan Cathcart – who rode it and was instrumental in its development in the 1990s.
More off-the-wall stories come in the form of motocross legend Roger Harvey revealing how a lawnmower mechanic made his Grand Prix Husqvarna faster – and tarmac-skimming tales from TT winner Roy Hanks about his amazing sidecar-racing family. There’s also a road test of a rare Vincent – a 1938 Rapide Series A – along with all the usual workshop tips, project updates and great readers’ photographs from past and present.
