Tiger Cub on TV!!!

Just found out that the Richard Wilson series, Britains Best Drives, is back on TV all this week, well, what's left of this week, and the episode tomorrow (Fri 6th Jan) features Gorgeous Biker Chick and Cubbie. Just make sure you don't blink or sneeze when they're going through the line up of the bikes!

Freeview channel 12, "Yesterday", 3.30pm and again at 8.30pm.

Scottish Cub Fest

Some of you might have heard about the new Scottish bike show, to be held at Lanark on 12/13th May this year. I was considering the idea of having a bit of a Cub get together there - it would make an ideal venue to showcase our Cubs to a new audience, and maybe even meet a few 'like minded' types. The deal from the organisers is a FREE 16 square meter plot indoors, which would give us room for a selection of different models - not scantily clad stick insects, I was thinking more Sports / Mountain / Trials Cubs etc and not forgetting the Terrier, and perhaps some sort of project on the bench, so that people can see the mad things that we Cubbers do! Might even manage to hook up a slide show with Cub rides and activies shown on a screen - would probably be a charge for an electric hook up, but if the 'Fest' takes off, I can find out more.

I'm sure there are a goodly number of Cub owners in Scotland or the north of England who would relish a weekend away at a bike show, talking bikes, looking at other bikes and generally having a good old time. Being May, the weather might be nice and we could even attept to organise a BBQ for Cub Fest Partakees and Friends.

Any thoughts on this are most welcome, either leave a comment by clicking on the 'comment' link under this post, or email me gbc AT thecubmag.com. If you fancy taking your bike along or helping out by manning the stand for a couple of hours each day, then that would be much appreciated. Contact me in the same way.

A Mountain Cub Story.

Just finished typing up an article about Captain Bill's 1966 Mountain Cub. Six handwritten sides of A4 now converted to occupy some of the remaining blank pages in issue 1. Not much room left now but I could do with some words and pics about owners modifications; what have you done to make your Cub or Terrier more reliable, more usable, less leaky....

Send them to gbc AT thecubmag.com but hurry hurry hurry if you want to make it in time for issue 1!!!

Welcome, again.

If the hit counter is to be believed, there's a whole lotta people having a peek at this site just lately. Feel free to leave a comment or drop me an email if you have any questions about The Cub Mag. Oh, and welcome to the site. This blog won't be updated as regularly as the GBC blog (www.gorgeousbikerchick.com), simply because of the type of page it is, but do try and pop back now and again to check for developments and information.

I don't think it's too early to wish you a Merry Cubbie Christmas, is it?
