<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Dear Streetfighters readers,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It’s our gut-wrenchingly sad duty to inform you that
Streetfighters Magazine has become another victim of the recession, so the June
issue (#232) was the last to be published in the form you’ve come to expect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">However, you don’t get shot of us quite that easily, because
Streetfighters will be returning to the ample bosom from whence it came and
continue as a 32-page supplement inside our sister custom bike title, Back
Street Heroes, starting with the July issue (BSH #351) which goes on sale at
the beginning of June. Inside you'll find the best high performance custom
machines, hand-picked for publication, to whet your whistles like only
Streetfighters Mag can.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">All subscribers will be receiving separate correspondence relating
to their options as far as their subs go – where you can either switch your sub
to BSH, or request a refund for the remaining balance of your subscription.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">FighterFest UK will be going ahead as planned, and Streetfighters merchandise will be available as normal from G&J Merchandise via the magazine website.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">All of us at SF Towers, past and present, want to thank our loyal readers,
contributors, industry colleagues and friends for their continued support over
the last twenty-two years. We'll no doubt see you all on the road at some point
in the future – and, of course, at FighterFest UK in September.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Streetfighters #232 should be arriving with subscribers today.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cover and spread for this issue is dominated by Colin’s
awesome twin turbo GS1000S. This sublime machine retains the oldskool GS look,
but brings it bang up to date with modern chassis parts, futuristic styling
details and a very healthy 250bhp at the wheel. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GmK8Vc8lnv8/UXk6j6R53dI/AAAAAAAAAts/TxXHJ5XWMW8/s1600/SF.232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GmK8Vc8lnv8/UXk6j6R53dI/AAAAAAAAAts/TxXHJ5XWMW8/s320/SF.232.jpg" width="230" /></a>We’ve also got a very rare – in fact, unique – Martek beam-framed
Ducati, built not for a customer but as Martek Mark’s own personal runabout,
plus a striking café racer BMW R100, Icon’s mentalist ‘Low Down & Shifty’
XS650 project and a frankly rather awesome TL1000R built by Roman at Full Of
Hate, finished to his usual stratospheric standards and which showcases his
first custom-made FOH frame. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve also grabbed top stunt rider Lee ‘Pacman’ Bowers and got
the lowdown on all the modifications he’s made to his stunt bike, in the latest
in our technical ‘Anatomy Of…’ series, and backed that up with Gary’s minimalist
FireBlade, an unusual choice of donor in Rich’s ZX-9R fighter, and a rather
out-of-the-ordinary Fanmail Focus featurette from Streetfighters Cheshire MCC.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With news updates on all the best events this summer,
including the Farmyard Party, Pendine LRC and of course the revised,
bigger-and-better-than-ever FighterFest UK, plus new product information and evaluations,
illustrations from Andy Sparrow and Vizman, pervert badgers, Fanmail, Project
Bike updates and Holly Peers wearing hardly any clothes, we’re pretty pleased
with this one. In shops next Thursday 2<sup>nd</sup> May. <o:p></o:p></div>

It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for. Finally we’ve managed to get the
multi-award winning GSX-R 1000-based special ‘Cedzior,’ top photographer Rob
Irving, and professional fit burd and Superbike TV presenter Jess Impiazzi into
the same room at the same time. We locked them in with a grossly inadequate
amount of clothing and told them they weren’t coming out without a truly
stunning set of pics. After a couple of hours, this was the result. <o:p></o:p></div>

with plenty of unique details including the belt drive conversion, twin nitrous
bottle feeds under the tailpiece and a frankly stunning level of attention to
detail. It’s one of the most hotly anticipated spread bikes we’ve run in recent
years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Elsewhere in issue #232 Clink's got all the jibber jabber
on Mr T's GSX, whilst we knuckle down with Dusty’s Germanic-style FireBlade and
go flat out for a beautiful XS650 tracker. We get all worldly and international
with a late model turbocharged R1 from Australia, an Italian dragbike-inspired
custom Tuono, a South African Z900 and yet another awesome creation from serial
US streetfighter builder, Full Of Hate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
We’ve got event coverage from Verona, a ProFile on Mick
Butler and a fascinating addition to our ‘Anatomy Of…’ technical series. This
feature rolls up its sleeves and delves, elbows-deep, into a dedicated Moto
Gymkhana bike to find out precisely which modifications are made to get around the
sport’s tight, technical courses in the quickest possible time. And we’ve got
our usual choice blend of news, announcements, product reviews, illustrations
and lots, lots more.<o:p></o:p></div>

Subscribers should get their copies very soon, whilst the

On the cover is Scott Belshaw’s VFR750, a subtle, yet full-on

we’ve squeezed a whole host of assorted feature bikes into the rest of the pages.

Tech heads will be fascinated with the Anatomy Of A Wheelie Bike, a
feature which details all the modifications necessary for creating a world
record-breaking wheelie machine, plus we have the ultimate idiots’ guide to
turbocharging, featuring forced induction maestro Dave Dunlop. Add to that a
ProFile on long time drag racer Charlie Butterworth, plus all the usual project
bike updates, news coverage, product reviews and editorial opinions, and SF229
is probably unmissable. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
We’re launching into 2013 with style, with perhaps the coolest GIA-framed
TL1000 you’ve ever seen adorning our cover and spread. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Inside we’ve got a spectacular Polish Kawasuki, a Germanic Martek, a
gorgeous oldskool Katana, a fat-wheeled GSX-R K6, an H2-engined Slabside, a
minimalist GPX750R and many more awesome custom machines including, shockingly,
a streetfightered 883 Sportster. Nah, don’t worry, we’ve not gone all
effeminate, this is a purposeful piece of kit with a spec list as long as your
arm and performance to match. My personal favourite from SF228, however, has to
be the Aprilia RSV Mille which has been converted into a Ski-Doo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Add to that coverage from Motorcycle Live at the NEC (including our
Custom Xtreme exhibit), our teenage fanboy-like adulation of what looks like
being the most insane production bike yet, product reviews, news stories,
editorials, project bike updates and regular illustrations from Vizman and Andy
Sparrow, and we reckon 2013 is off to a good start already.<o:p></o:p></div>

December. Or, of course, pick up your copy over-the-counter from the merchandise

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the cover is Hez’s awesome GIA-framed GSX-R 1216, making what
appears to be good, safe progress. The centrespread feature is Marc Berry’s
purple Germanic GSX-R 1000K3, as
photographed live at Brent Cross 2012 with the tres cute Mel Clarke, and further
delving into the mag will reveal Terry’s trick DogLondon Sheene-rep Bandit, the
AFT Customs CB750F (hand-built by glamour models, donchaknow?), Gary’s
mentalist turbo Bandit, the Street Beast Cycles Texan Three-Way (feat.
Chipmunk) and yet more feature bikes too exciting to list in case your eyes
fall out in sheer excitement.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Of course it’s the end of the racing season (boo!) so we’ve also got
the full, nailbiting story on Spondon GSX-R-mounted Beany’s final round in the
Bemsee Thunderbike Xtreme series, as he dragged third place, kicking and
screaming, over the finish line by the scruff of its neck, as well as all the exciting
coverage from the Straightliners and ACU Nationals finals too. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Combine that hand-carved slab of high-performance, modified
motorcycling awesomeness with our usual dainty garnish of relevant news
stories, product information and reviews, regular toons from Vizman and Andy
Sparrow, Fanmail submissions from you lot and project build updates from
Yantosh and MDM, and we just don’t know how we do it each month, we really don’t.

If you're heading over to see the Custom Xtreme exhibit at Motorcycle Live (at Birmingham's NEC, starting this Saturday, November 24th), then you'll see the new range of Streetfighters apparel (that's American for clothing).</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Yamaha's XJ600-based Moto-Cage Six concept is a machine which would be intended specifically
for stunt riders. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: start;">After scrutinising the pics closely, we can see loads of stunt-friendly additions such as the rear hand brake levers, double rear calipers, crash cage, chunky Vans-friendly footpegs (including those on the front wheel spindle), heavy crash protection, an enormous wheelie-friendly rear sprocket, tail scraper plate and even gripmat surfaces on the tailpiece and fuel tank. It was displayed at Cologne complete with wrecked rear tyre, giving it instant cool points.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">It’s
a concept, so sadly it’ll probably never see production, but it does show how
stunt riding is now turning heads at the top of the industry. And if you ever
do make it, Yamaha, we want first dibs on testing one please.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jgs5wJENiTU/UG1Ct7biKLI/AAAAAAAAAok/Qdl0dHayGAk/s1600/epbw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="161" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jgs5wJENiTU/UG1Ct7biKLI/AAAAAAAAAok/Qdl0dHayGAk/s320/epbw.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
With both the ACU and Straightliners championships having their final rounds at this meeting, as well as the national Association of SuperTwins, racing will be hard fought and, in spite of it being October, the meeting has, historically, seen some record-breaking times and speeds.<br />
The ACU Superstreet class is, as far as we're concerned, the highlight, with records set to be pushed yet again, and street-based motorcycles, running on street tyres with a footprint the same size as your palm, are running over the quarter mile in under 7.2 seconds, with terminal speeds in excess of 200mph!<br />

Here's how one of our readers used them...<br />

As you can see from the cover, the new issue features a Street Tested article on Triumph's Street Triple R, but there's plenty of modified bikes too, naturally.<br />
From a Toxic FireBlade from north of the Border, via a (very) radical Yamaha MT-01 and a turbocharged Triumph Rocket 3, through to a cafe racer Norley and the new machine from bonkers-barmy Portuguese builder, Mortagua. there's also reports from the World Wheelie meeting, and the stunt competition at Brent Cross, and stacks more.<br />

<span style="line-height: 17px;">We have some very sad news.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">Antoine Collignon, of Street Monsters magazine and the Monsters Race series, died on Sunday after an accident during the Monsters Race at Le Vigeant. The race was red flagged immediately after the accident and the meeting closed.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">Antoine was much admired by us all at the magazine. We published his amazing streetfighter cartoons in the days before he created and released the magazine Street Monsters, and then he set up the awesome Monsters Race series too. The global SF scene has lost a truly iconic figure and a driving force, and the nicest, most modest, unassuming guy you could ever wish to meet. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">We offer our deepest condolences to Antoine's father and family, the Street Monsters crew, the Monsters Racers and to all Antoine's friends.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">Gutted. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">Adieu Artkore.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">Please post comments about Antoine below. The thread will be printed out tomorrow night (Wednesday evening) and presented to Antoine's family at the funeral by MDM, Stu Garland and myself, who will be attending. </span><br />

Last weekend, at Tierp Arena just outside Stockholm in Sweden, a new world record was set for the Top Fuel Bike class, with Peter Svensson running a truly astounding 5.709 second quarter mile at 355kph. Outstaning not only as it's relatively recently that the first five second Fueler run was recorded in Euroipe, but also because it has eclised the longstanding record of 5.746 set by Larry 'Spiderman' McBride back in 2008.<br />

Of course, this bodes well for the Euro Finals at Santa Pod in early September, a meeting at which the first European Superstreet champion will also be crowned!<br />

The 'hover bike' can be suspended up to 15ft in the air, and can reach speeds of 30mph. </span><br />

Open to all bikes up to 1990, there's a guarantee that there'll not only be loads of really cool air-cooled Kawasakis, but probably a shedload of funky Suzukis too.<br />
Oh, and the pub is utterly superb - it didn't gain the CAMRA Pub if the Year award for being crap y'know...<br />
