CN III VOICES P18 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR "…found my name in the results section of June '76 in about 20 minutes... first download!" Dreaming Of Archives Congratulations on the establishment of your new archival service. And while I appreciate the value of access to such a historical resource, some of the points in your editorial (Carruthers Says, Issue 20, May 23) announcing the service have stirred my own creative juices. Imagine, if you will, a conjoining of the historical past with the potential of the digital age: For the right price, the Cycle News Historical Revisionist Service will ensure that no one can call BS on one's claims of past greatness. Indian Dunes in '78? Or that day Billy Bob passed King Kenny on the outside of the long sweeper at Zandvoort? Thanks to the power of bits and bytes, Cycle News can rework its past issues to make sure all our fantasy rides really happened. I know most of my grayhaired buddies would pay real dough for that kind of archival record. So, just insert me in as the winner of the '80 U.S. GP and this great idea is all yours. Keep up the good work. D. Pinkman Via the Internet Cycle News now has almost 50 years of its weekly motorcycle publication available digitally in our Archives section.

Poring Over As noted before, I'm really excited about the Archives being available and I expect to pore over them for many hours. Note that I won't be "pouring" over them as you suggest since that would ruin my computer. Kevin Smith San Jose, CA The Archives IV Awesome! I used to have a ton of these, but couldn't keep them. This is great! Jack Prondzinski Via Facebook Where's The East This is West not East. Al Locke Via Facebook We've had plenty of requests for Cycle News East and we will begin the process of getting those scanned shortly… Editor Good catch, Kevin. The editor has been scolded… Editor The Archives Online access to all of the back issues: You just ruined my plans for the entire summer. :) Randy Olson Via the Internet The Archives II 'Tis a fine thing you've done, young man.

Tod Rafferty Via the Internet The Archives III Got mine from the 1970s and found my name in the results section of June '76 in about 20 minutes... first download!
