# six.
What happened this year ? Only two editions ? Are we getting lazy ? Or even bored ? Have no fear, we have just been busy, in fact we have been a bit too busy, so busy that everything would not fit in this magazine and we have kept a few things for the next one. Oh well yes, admittedly, we have also been on the road, having fun. The weather being so shitty around here we decided to take our wheels to sunny Italia to cover the legendary Moto Giro and went far east and off tracks to take a dip in the Black Sea. So, for the first time we are happy to thank sponsors, who believed in us and trusted us with gear for our Project Black Sea: Rev’it!, Kriega and Drift innovation to name them properly. 2013 has been interesting and disturbing, we have been faced with many questions as to where to lead our ship in the future, we will come back to that in time. For the past few years we have witnessed bikers and motorcycles becoming more and more mainstream and we have to come to the conclusion that it only proves that in an over-connected, over-protected, over-controlled world, motorcycles are still icons of freedom. In this edition we give you endurance, burned leather, dust, open roads, history, a bit of fresh air topped with some olive oil. stay true.

Three days of classic races on (one of) the most beautiful track of the world, plus, a 4 Hours endurance race by night and the presence of many legends (Doug Pollen, Raymond Roche, Stéphane Mertens just to name a few). Bikers’ Classics at Spa Francorchamps is obviously the event you can’t miss! Postpone your wedding, forget about your grandma 90th birthday, insist on your pregnant wife not to give birth ‘til the week-end is over and just go to Francorchamps!

Chimay is well known for it’s famous beer but since almost 20 years, every summer during three days, residents from this quite city sees their roads closed and bearded english, dutch and germans coming with their vintage racing bikes. Occupy the fields with their trailer just as it used to be during the Continental Circus. And if the vibes are jolly in the paddocks it’s a totally different story on the track. Just watch the sidecar battles and you’ll understand the guys came here for nothing else but the win!
