I'm pretty certain I read it was closing down. It says that on page 4. It says if you're a subscriber then you'll get a cheque for the copies you've paid for and won't get. The new mag On Two Wheels is going to replace it but that's a freebie and I guess it won't be posted out!
Well bugger me just opened up the new issue and your right , I'm a subscriber & moderator on the t&g forum and nothing's been mentioned on there :oops:

Smeghead's right. The announcement on page 4 of the current magazine is very clear that the next issue will be the last.

I also agree with earlier commentators, that the inclusion of articles on geared bikes is at variance with the title of the magazine. I have latterly found myself skipping over half the content for that reason.

Actually bought the May/June edition of T&G today!!!! Lots of potentially interesting stories - New Tmax, X-ADV, Peugeot Metropolis 400 tests, etc etc, but they don't seem to say very much. Not sure it was worth £4.10!

I subscribe for some reason, I use it as bog reading. The latest issue is by far the best for ages and it's still very lightweight. There is very little depth to the reviews, it's as if they are written for simpletons to read!

It's the writer's that are probably the simpletons. More than once i asked on Facebook if they used school kids to post for them.
