Supercycle Feb 1982

This issue of Supercycle leans heavy into craftsmanship and character, spotlighting machines that feel as much like sculpture as transport. A machinist’s custom build shows off pure mechanical artistry, while a beautifully preserved 1928 J.D.H. channels the roaring spirit of early motorcycling. “Goldmine” digs into quality and detail through Strawberry’s work, grounding the issue in a deep respect for builders who treat metal like a language.

Elsewhere, the tone swings wild and weird, from the offbeat fiction of Pres Pissgums & the Beelzebub’s Boilsuckers to a tongue-in-cheek trip into high society with The Restaurant. The scrapbook section drifts through history, and the Reading Motorcycle Club’s 67th anniversary bash brings the party energy. Regular departments round it out with reader voices, rider profiles, and the usual mix of grit, humor, and lowbrow charm that keeps the whole thing rumbling.
