Suzuki’s recreational vehicle
I really liked Steve Cooper’s article on the TC range. As a bit of a side order I have owned RV 125cc sand bikes since 1974. They came in three sizes – 50cc, 90cc and 125cc – and I think the first came into the UK in 1973. My wife Kay took her test on…

Ipswich Contis?
I am writing regarding the photo on the front page of issue 412 of Old Bike Mart. Is it possible that the two lads are picking up their bikes from Boltons Motorcycle of Barrack Corner, Ipswich? I can see that the last two letters of the registration are PV, which I believe to be either…
