Scootering  |  November 2018
The pinnacle (in my opinion) of the National rally season has arrived: Brid. For me, it marks a significant shift in the season, as well as how the magazine shapes up for you, the reader, each month. You'll appreciate the abundance of rally write-ups in this edition as the multitude of events
unravels, but as the season quietens off we look to other areas of the scene with great interest. The editorial shift becomes a bit less ‘entertainment’ and a bit more ‘techand info’ driven, which I like. As I write this,
I have Stan out in Vietnam, working on an abundance of articles for you. From ‘off the beaten path’ rides, to seeking out those dodgy back street ‘restoration’ garages which send across all those worthless eBay shit-bangers some dealers seem happy to churn out. As a stark comparison, we also investigate the better end of the market from that region, to show that not all items from Asia should be tarred with the same brush. It’s informative and hard-earned info.
The winter editorial shift will also see me
initiate the start of my ‘winter hack’ on a GTV300 – something for me to ride in the interim period while I work on the upcoming ‘Lambretta Street Sleeper’ series I have planned; a restoration chassis, discreetly
loaded to the hilt. With such an array of engine options and parts these days, it’s hard to know where to start… so I dive in at the deep end, to build a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Lastly, Brid is also where the BSRA committee meeting takes place each year, and as Kev Walsh is sadly now no longer with
us, this year will mark the end of an era in that respect. Stu Owen is working tirelessly to collate the documents and images for the coming series around Kev’s life and work, which will also start during the coming winter months.
I appreciate all this sounds a bit ‘mañana’ so in the meantime, sit back with a brew and enjoy this latest edition.
