NOVEMBER 29, 2000
Our special Cycle News Project Bike issue took center stage 20 years
ago. We featured a number of project bikes that we had been working
on over the past few months. But we didn't ignore production bikes
completely, as we featured a road test on the 2001 Ducati S4 Monster... As
far as racing, we had coverage of the Elsinore Grand Prix, where the "GP
Kied" Mike Kiedrowski took the big win.
