Hubble, bubble, Stinger trouble!

It’s fair to say that Steve Cooper’s Suzuki T125 Stinger restoration has been tough on the old boy… In CMM’S pages we’ve traced the highs and lows of the purchase, strip-down, restoration and rebuild of this popular Suzuki twin, but only now can we appreciate the effort that Steve and his select band of helpers and product/service providers have put in. For proof of the pudding, go to page 50 and enjoy! It’s wonderful to see projects come to fruition… such as Allen Millyard’s RC374. We all know that this has been long-since finished, but the full story has only been seen in CMM month-on-month. Next month is his final instalment before a big recap and photo-shoot in which you will see the bike in all its glory. We hope you’ll enjoy that, before he embarks on his next big project in the pages of CMM! Our down under dude Jeff Ware has dug up some gems this month… for the off-road fans he’s come up with a tale of the restoration of a Mick Andrews’ Ossa and he’s recounting the tale of when he rode the beautiful Cagiva V593 GP 500… He’s a lucky so-and-so that one… As I’m tapping this on Jan 4, may I take the opportunity to say ‘happy New Year’ and ‘thank you’ for taking CMM to a record subscription high! Stay with us for 2019!
