WELCOME TO THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE<br />

Imagine you are<br />

the parents of<br />

Brad and Darryn<br />

Binder watching the Chech<br />

MotoGP alone in your house<br />

in Krugersdorp. Normally<br />

you are at trackside with the<br />

boys but with the Corona<br />

pandemic halting movement<br />

around the world, flights<br />

out of here are impossible<br />

to get. It was hard enough<br />

getting Brad (International<br />

World Champion) back after<br />

lockdown in any case.<br />

So the two of you alone in<br />

front of the telly, he’s qualified<br />

in a fantastic position in<br />

7th but then the race starts<br />

and he starts moving up and<br />

up and up till he eventually<br />

passes 2nd placed star man<br />

and championship leader<br />

Quartararo, then closes<br />

the gap to Morbidelli and<br />

all of a sudden, your son<br />

is leading the Moto GP and<br />

pulling away in front of the<br />

best of the best in the world.<br />

Can you imagine being the<br />

Binder parents, what an absolutely<br />

beautiful moment.<br />

Well turn to page 58 and<br />

and read about my interview<br />

with them directly after his<br />

win. Also you can go to our<br />

website and hear the whole<br />

interview on our pod cast, it<br />

gives some good insights to<br />

the family. I’m honoured to<br />

say I have known them their<br />

whole motorcycling racing<br />

life. Bliksem, those BOYS<br />

are fast!<br />

This issue is a MotoGP<br />

issue, from Mat Oxley on<br />

the Spanner Man, to Simon<br />

Patterson on Brad to the<br />

“Porra” Oiviera with also his<br />

maiden win also on a KTM.<br />

This Austrian Company is<br />

going places!<br />

We at least do some other<br />

things as well, we do SA’s<br />

launch of the Tiger 900 and<br />

BMW’s XR 900 and Roadster.<br />

We put The latest Fireblade<br />

on Noddy’s dyno and it<br />

makes the most HP of any<br />

standard 1000cc Superbike<br />

ever! Peter McBride from<br />

Hi-Side Saloon gives us his<br />

take on the Corona Riders of<br />

which we can all relate to.<br />

So in a nutshell, we loving<br />

being back in print, please<br />

support us by either subscribing<br />

or buying us at the<br />

shops, that’s how we get to<br />

live this life of motorcycling.<br />

If you think my editors note<br />

is a bit age inappropriate,<br />

look at the Super Stuff pages,<br />

you too could be as cool<br />

as James Hunt.<br />

Till next time, ride safe but<br />

ride lots.<br />
