Classic Bike Guide ...


-SG- ... is another publication by the Morton Group, which is also responsible for The Classic Motor Cycle amongst other magazines. My attention was recently drawn to the January 2020 edition which contains an article about a couple of post war ES2 engined machines, written by the Editor, Matt Hull, and the machines' owner. One of the illustrations is an image not much larger than a postage stamp taken from the 1929 catalogue showing the incorrect oil pump and original rear frame-bending brake anchor set-up. Another - alongside a rambling and partially accurate section entitled 'A lesson in history' - shows Walter Moore with Tommy Bullus seated on a racing NSU from the early thirties, despite the fact that Moore's move to NSU in 1929 goes unmentioned! All in all not a wonderful piece of journalism ...
