Classic Dirt Bike

Classic Dirt Bike magazine: is about the bikes and personalities of the sport, covering pre-65 machines, classic and twin shocks, trials as well as scrambling/motocross and enduros. There are reader rebuilds from the UK/Europe and North America, event coverage, personality interviews/profiles, letters, products and so much more.

A simpler time • The Centre Handbook was a much-anticipated publication in pre-internet days.

DIRT NEWS • Want to tell us about a forthcoming event, or have any other dirt bike news to share? Email CDBEditor@mortons.co.uk or track down the editor at a dirt bike show or event.

Legendary status • In this year of scrambling’s centenary, it is fitting CDB features one of Britain’s legendary machines… BSA’s Gold Star.

Making it work • Every competitor wants to do the best they can and keeping a Goldie sweet means a bit of work. Luckily, Jeff Smith told you how in 1959.

A right old scramble • To celebrate scrambling’s centenary we’ve had a rake through the archives and come up with a few things.

Behind the spanners • The glory and plaudits for championships go to the rider but there is another reason the acclaim and accolades arrive…

Italian connection • Italians are certainly passionate about off-road motorcycling.

Reviewing the situation • With one motorcycle moved on, others can have some attention.

DIRT PRODUCTS • Got something new, something reintroduced, or the latest thing for classic off-road riders in the feet-up, MX or enduro world? Tell us and we’ll put it in here.

Strictly excellence • Motorcycle factories exist in all sorts of odd places… but the ballroom of a hotel is well out of step with the norm.

Days of yore • Or put another way, your days of old… we all have them.

Feet up, flat out and on time… • … or some trials, a bit of Evo MX and a timecard enduro.

Bowers’ beauty • The chance to ride a rather special BSA B40 in the Highland Classic Two Day Trial was eagerly taken by CDB’s editor…but what was the bike like?
