Happy New Year - onwards and upwards - motorcycles for life

Call me a miserable bastard but I hate this time of year. Grey skies, flu and colds, tax returns, my birthday just round the corner on the 2nd January and I ain't getting any younger. But it's not all that bad. I'll be having a few glasses of Chablis and cooking our favourite nosh - fish and seafood - for the wife this evening, and thinking of the year gone by, and 2011 to come.

2010 was the year I started a magazine, and I could never foresee how many brilliant people I've met either in person or virtually this year, just through publishing the magazine, or via this blog and the many others out there. And the response has been fantastic - I'm so happy to have got past Issue One - so thanks to everyone out there who bought a copy, and I hope you liked it.

2011 will be more of the same. I've been beavering away on Issue Three - yeah it's a bit delayed but like the slow train, it'll be along soon. More on what's in it soon. I'll be at more events this year so come and say hello if you happen to be there. More bikes from Italy, more bikes built by people with vision and talent and more stuff on motors from Italy.

Have a fantastic 2011 from all at ITALIAN MOTOR magazine. Motorcycles for life.
