Classic Motorcycle Mechanics

Hi Bertie! I was reading through your GL1800 article on the October edition of CMM with great interest and thought it was an excellent write up on Honda’s premium tourer, however when I got to page 11 and the specificat­ion I noted the ’Wing had gone on a serious diet and now weighed in at a mere 170kg, it was also down 1200ccs and minus two cylinders! Clearly your proof reader was having a bad day or hadn’t had their morning coffee when they added the finishing touch to your article! Suggestion­s on suitable punishment­s for these miscreants would be a trip around the Yorkshire dales on a Puch Maxi 50 and a Honda Express! Not to worry! It’s still a great read and I love the magazine, keep up the good work. Ian Morgan Bertie says: “Apologies Ian!

You’ll be pleased to know that as a punishment, the publisher sent me, the

designer and sub-editor to Hull and back on classic step-thru Hondas…”
