In case you haven't seen yet, great article in the latest Cycle World featuring our carbies. Better still, by none other than Peter Egan. Great stuff.

Issue 2. Has a bitchen Indian on the cover. Looks like a dirt tracker.Please don't flame me for asking this question.....so if I go to my local grocery store's magazine section and see a Cycle World mag it'll contain this article? Am I'm buying the May or June '18 printing??
I can't make out the words, what does it say about the bike?In case you haven't seen yet, great article in the latest Cycle World featuring our carbies. Better still, by none other than Peter Egan. Great stuff.
Says, they were and are freaking awesome. Of course. >I can't make out the words, what does it say about the bike?
I could not have written a better response! I finally found a copy at Barnes & Noble. I have a martini nearby and will sip and read.....Thanks for the tip! Went out and bought my copy. Hope the "upscale" move allows them to survive as there are times I enjoy reading a "hard copy".
I have a copy of the July 1991 issue with the 900 SS test and it was that article that prompted me to start thinking about buying a 900 SS. I'd had a 860 bevel back in the day - it was heavy, solid and sounded great with the Conti's. In 1994 I was given an ISP assignment in Zürich and that was what I needed to try and make it happen.I wrote Cagiva re where I might find one and Bruce Fairey wrote me back suggesting that MCC in Chicago had one. I called them from CH and Geoff Mellinger told me they had sold all their 1994's but had just received their first 1995. So, I made arrangements to buy it and have it flown over. It certainly was his first as it's plate reads 001.
Peter Egan is also one of my fav. bike writers - I have both of his "Leanings" books to prove it.
Good luck to them and let's hope they make it.
