A cracking Easter celebration

Diamond geezers and a far-sighted council

Race bred • Perhaps MV Agusta wouldn’t be the first choice of many pre65 trials bike builders but Vic Allan’s looks just the part and goes well too.

Winning combination • Take a decent engine, slot it into a superb rolling chassis and the result is legendary.

A momentous day • In front of the jubilant home crowd, a young lad sets out his stall for future success in the heady world of motocross GPs.

Six Days of Adventure • As ever with off-road motorcycle sport, who is riding the motorcycle often matters more than what the motorcycle is…

‘Hello’ to dirt • A chance comment in the wrong – or perhaps right – place brings colleague Dave Manning into the dirty world of off-road.

ENTER THE SUPERHERO… • …the superhero Hollywood and the comic books haven’t embraced yet.

DIRT PRODUCTS • We’re all looking for something which makes our bikes work better in whatever sport we compete in… this is where we tell you what’s out there.

Estate worker • Not every MXer takes to the track. Some lead a less frantic life and remain unmolested.

Fabulous Foxhill • From its glory days as a GP circuit to a popular and exciting amateur track, Foxhill near Swindon has enjoyed a roller-coaster ride… pretty much like anyone racing there. For 2022 it would see an international event, VMXdN Foxhill… Nick Haskell went along. Enjoy his pictorial and see the major results as we slide into winter.

Wise words • Variety is the spice of life... so goes the saying.

See you in Kinlochleven • Who can resist the opportunity to ride in the Highlands in an area steeped in Scottish Six Days Trial history.

Farleigh Vets 2022 • Here’s our pictorial overview of the 2022 VMXdN at Farleigh in September, the scene of many an epic tussle in the MX scene. With room only for Nick Haskell’s pics and the class results we can only hint at how good the event was – roll on next year!

The Baa – modern • Hot on the wheels of the Baa Classic is the modern riders’ version… there were some classics too.

Mechanically speaking • Twice a year the Staffordshire County Showground resonates to the sound of old motorcycles. October heralds the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics era.

DIRT TALK • This is where readers get it off their chest. Something not running right? Something causing the scene to get worse/better/stay the same? Or perhaps if 'they' did 'this' it would be great! Your opinions here...

Mellow Yellow • Three pages on something… yellow and with a bite… Shark-infested custard? No! Suzuki’s RL325!
