    Relevant issue of Bike now seems to be in the shops.

    Sad to see no photo of Burnt ;)

    He doesn't show up, does he? No reflection either - appears as a wisp
    of smoke, if at all.

    Are you two blind or have I got a different copy of Bike?

    I haven't got it with me but I'm sure there's a picture of the big
    nosed **** fast asleep on a pile of logs.

    did he get a reprimand for falling asleep on guard duty?

    Guarding the logs, I expect. Close to his heart, logs.

    No, I'm quite sure there isn't a photo of him. And he hasn't been
    mentioned by name either. Not after *that* post...

    There is a picture of someone fast asleep on his back on a pile of
    logs, but I can't make out who it is. There's also a general picture
    of the British contingent, but too small to identify several of them.

    Have a guess who it is in the picture showing someone flying past a
    load of tents on a plastic sledge?

    The principal culprits on the sled run, IIRC, were the Mordor drinking
    squad - ie me, sweller and Burnt. I seem to have mislaid the mag - was the
    fool in the picture wearing his head torch back-to-front?

    I bought and read it a couple of days ago. Bloody good article all
    round, I thought. If I were Andy, I'd be very proud to feature in an
    article starting with the words "I blame Bonwick".\

    The litre-bike article is pretty good too - they seem to capture the
    ethos and character of the ZX10R.

    Hmm... I've been looking for the last couple of days and nowhere around
    here seems to have the mag in stock.

    If you'd had as many text messages and emails as I've had you'd be
    wanting to kill a certain journalist.
    Indeed they did.

    Do you want one of my copies?

    You can have a signed one for a tenner.

    Of course. I'm having a magazine signing session at the bosm but I'll
    let you pop over here and snare one in advance because I know you.
