LOVING IT

Delighted with my first copy of FB, I highly recommend it. Took a bit of a punt, a PS refusenik, signing up for two years without having read FB since the days of Al Fagan (goodness knows how many years ago that was) – and only buying it once even then... it wasn’t for me. Times change.

The centrepiece of the September edition is an excellent comparison of three quick bikes from three different eras by Johnny Mac. I know his writing well from PB days – sharp, coherent, analytical, fun – with ideas and conclusions that stand out from the crowd. This article is a good example of all of that. More please.

The surprise package was a superb contribution by Christian Iddon. He shares in an engaging way not only the fun of racing and winning, but also his innermost thoughts sitting on the grid in mixed conditions. Highly recommended. All in all, I think FB and I are going to get on very well. Parrish, less so.

Cheers.

Jack not my real name.

FB: Thanks for your feedback, Jack, or whatever your real name is – and thanks for going straight in with the two-year deal. We strive to keep you entertained. As with anything, styles change and so do the writers in the mag. We’re really pleased to have a diverse team here at FB, probably the most diverse we’ve had in many years, which is brilliant and will hopefully bring something to each and every one of our readers. We’ve got some exciting tests and bikes to cover on the horizon, so keep your eyes peeled.
