See you at Stafford...

The Cub Mag team will be spending a little time at Stafford show, with the Greystone Enterprise crew, so if you want to come and say hello, or treat yourself to a warm winter tee shirt, or perhaps a lovely Cub Mag Mug - or you want to have a look at the mag then please drop by.  We have also managed to persuade Cub guru, Mike Estall to spend some time with us on SATURDAY to answer questions and help you with your Cub queries, and on SUNDAY, trials ace and top engineer, Alan Whitton, will be taking the hot seat and you can ask him anything you like about Cub trials riding or having your road and off road engines tweaked or fixed.  Both parties declared the need for chocolate biscuits so if you want answers you know what to bring!

Keep an eye on this page for times or pop by the stand first thing on Saturday to find out what's happening and when!  See y'all there.....

How (and why) to change main bearings.

The Techy Tip in Issue 3 will be an article on the importance of changing main bearings, and an easy guide on how to do it.  It's a simple job (according to Pat Press) and should never be put off.....

If you want to subscribe, or purchase a copy of Issue 3, drop Gorgeous Biker Chick a line to gbc AT thecubmag.com (remember to change the AT to @ and remove the spaces).

Test machines wanted!

If anyone out there would like to have their Tiger Cub or Terrier tested by Gorgeous Biker Chick, for a future article in The Cub Mag, then please get in touch.  Specifically, at the moment, if you're based in Derbyshire (or 'near by') or the north of England then I might just have some time to kill around the end of October....(it'll probably have to be a week day or early evening before it gets too dark for photos).

It can be a road or off road based machine, and you can be assured that I won't be attempting to climb sheer rock faces or leap over cars or set a new Cub drag strip record.  It's just a chance for me to compare other peoples Cubs to my own fair example and tell the world why they should buy one.  Or two.  Or three or maybe four or five...ok...I'll go now.

Get in touch with gbc AT thecubmag.com for more info.

Issue Three...

Ladies and gentlemen, issue 3 will be out very soon and it will contain such features as -

My First Bike was a Tiger Cub...(I'm sure there are a lot more of you with the same story to tell, so c'mon, please share)

Gorgeous Biker Chick's Cubbie Restoration.

Mike Estall's Bermudan Adventure.

Price Watch - keep an eye on those Cub sales - and 'not' sales.

See No Evil - certain events are a must in a biker's lifetime, and Stu reckons that 'Banbury' is on that list.

Makin' Tracks - ok so it's autumn, but really, is there any difference in the weather?  Still time to get out and ride before it actually turns to winter.

Show Time!  A view from the inside track, from those who volunteer to take bikes and set up a stall and spend the weekend being cold and hungry...and a view from those who enjoy it!

Well I think that's enough to keep you going for now.  If anyone wishes to collect their copy from the Stafford show, just get in touch - gbc AT thecubmag.com.

The Cub Mag on Facebook.

Once upon a time, the Editor of The Cub Mag, Gee-Bee Chick had a very lively and, even though she says it herself, quite a popular Facebook page.  On this, she used to promote her general motorcycling activities, plus any forthcoming Cub Mag news.  Well, something has happened to it, and although it seems you guys and girls can still access it, Gee-Bee Chick has been locked out.

So there is now a new page for you to 'follow' or 'like' - try this link Cub Mag Facebook.  It would be great to get this new page as active and full of pics as the old page was, so please click on the 'like' button and feel free to post your own Cub related pics and comments.

The more the merrier, so come on, join in, you know you want to....
