American-V 081

£4.99

They say variety is the spice of life – I always thought it was pepper, myself – and we’ve excelled ourselves this issue with the water-cooled Harley-Davidson Street, Indian’s new Springfield, a big buck custom build inspired by a Lamborghini and a Polaris Slingshot, which is neither powered by a V or a motorbike … well, not in this country.

And we drop in on 1942, feel the ground shake as Dirt Quake, sit in a shed with the unlikeliest couple of touring bikes and generally get into our default summer mode.
