Not criticising your tome Wizz -& it is yours as far as I'm concerned, but maybe the time's right for a 21st equivalent of AWOL. BSH does what it does very well indeed -it's beautifully & informatively written, the feature bikes are well shot with plenty of variety, the presentation's well polished & most importantly it doesn't assume it's readership are illiterate. It also appeals to a broad audience -I know several who buy it regularly even though they've never ridden a bike in their lives, just because they like it's style. The apparent decline of 100%'s left a bit of a vacuum though & the trend for bobbers & rods & all things retro puts Brit Chopper in the right place at the right time to fill the need for an alternative -a basic, hands on, this-is-how-to-do-it, builders' mag, for those of us who enjoy the build as much as the final result. There's certainly some talented & knowledgable names on board.
While respecting your position as European leader, I think there's plenty of room for both of you & I wish the upstart well.
Still not sure about the name though.

Don't know what the secret is, but if you look back, you'll find that AWoL did just as many 'showy' bikes pro rata as BSH, but guess it got perceived in a different way. Possibly because we didn't do studio shoots.
And before anyone says a word, BSH (over the same period of time) did a lot more rats than AWoL!
I'm sayimng nothing, me ear's still sore from the last bashing you gave me over that!!!
