Trials riding is quite a simple sport: there’s little fuss, little hassle, a nod or a wave of the scorecard by the observer, ease the front wheel into the section and you’re on trial

The weather outside is frightful…
10 July 2012
…and before you panic I’m not going to burst into a rendition of Dean Martin’s ‘Let it snow’... though it might be appropriate as I’m writing these words in the middle of April.

A pint pot
10 July 2012

Current Issue: Summer 2013 - Issue 27

• Wright or wrong
Wrighty puts the world of general motorcycling to rights and offers a view on why the modern scene is suffering.
• Rockin’ Red Rocket
Vic Allan gets to grips with a stunning Honda that’s as close to a works bike as the public can get... we think.
• Original and unrestored
It may seem incredible that an Off-road bike can survive 40 years or more without being restored. Incredible but true for this little Moto Guzzi.

About the Editor

Tim Britton, Editor
Tim Britton, Editor

In the four years since Tim Britton gripped the editorial handlebars of Classic Dirt Bike,­ the premier publication for classic off-roaders, the off-road scene has grown exponentially to encompass bikes from Brit classics to Japanese Evos and all sorts in between.

The Geordie lad has been gripping off-road handlebars for real in trials, scrambles and enduros for nearly 40 years and has often been labelled 'enthusiast', occasionally labelled 'mad' and with a philosophy based around 'I don¹t have to be good, I just have to be there' has entered events all over the UK and had a whale of a time with a multi-tasking 650 Triumph, a Bultaco Sherpa and a BSA B40.

He is a living example that you should 'try the dirty side of motorcycling... it's fun'.
