Old Bike Australasia Magazine Issue 129
Issue 129 of Old Bike Australasia delivers another packed edition celebrating the rich history and enduring passion of motorcycling. We lead this issue with a fascinating cover story uncovering the history behind The Ex-Boston Police Chief.
Inside, we explore a spectacular lineup of classic and custom machines. You will find detailed features on the rebellious XS650 Cafe Racer, the iconic Honda CB77, and a nimble Derbi 80 Racer. We also unpack the magnificent 1913 Model 13-U, better known as Thor’s Hammer. Track and road enthusiasts will love our close looks at the Dave Croxford Work’s Prototype Mk 4 Seeley G50 and the classic 1979 T140D Bonneville Special.
Beyond the hardware, we profile our Feature Rider, Trevor Jowett. We also step back into motorsport heritage with a Tracks in Time piece focused on the infamous Wanganui Cemetery Circuit. Engineering buffs will appreciate a special three-page reprint from the legendary Phil Irving.
As always, we include your favourite regular departments. You can catch up on old bike news in Buzz Box, read the latest letters, and see how modern heritage holds up with a look at the 2026 Yamaha XSR900 GP. To cap it all off, we bring you extensive coverage from across the country in our Race & Rally Roundup. This section highlights community events ranging from Classic Bike Broadford and the Victorian Historic Road Race Championships to the Knucklehead Run and the All British Rally.
