Holding my breath with excitement! Hope they read our musings on here...
I don't usually buy OBA, but I did buy the last issue when someone pointed me to an article about a particular Australian-made bike. Alternative reality is everywhere these days.

Ha !
Ain't that the trufff.
I have in the past emailed them with some corrections to one of their stories.
About something as recent as a Commando even.
The finer details of the history is still emerging, it seems.
To their credit, they did publish said corrections.
We see that that this latest edition is under new management.....

Seems universal. Now these old bikes and the old boys who "knew" them recede ever further into history, the amount of published BS seems to grow year on year.
Even worse, BS when published, then becomes the truth when later Googled.
