    SECOND CHANCE

    by

    Some things are meant to be, aren’t they? They may take a bit of time, or a fairly convoluted and circuitous route, to come into fruition, but eventually The Fates ensure that two things that’re destined to be, come together in a fortuitous way. Words: Nik Pics: Alien4 Take Chris from NCC Kent and the…

    The Buell Cyclone wasn’t exactly the prettiest of bikes when it left Erik Buell’s loving hands… Words: Dave Pics: Garry Stuart IT had a long dual seat, deep side-panels and a deeply unattractive big suitcase-style appendage on the right-hand side of the motor that actually contained the air filter, but what this does mean is…
