Fanboi.

I just read an issue from a few months ago.

It compared a bunch of naked bikes and they shit all over the BMW F800. Bet you won't find that article in your BMW stroke rag.

I cut the last one off when they started sharing my information with advertisers, because I didn't check off the 3pt type negative option on the back of the renewal card.

I talk to industry people on a weekly basis and frequently get info before it makes it to the 'net, let alone print. Mind you the Brit mags are good for boobie count.

I tend to not even read the new bike articles in the BMW mag. The stuff I read is about maintenance and care of my motorcycle. It shows really good how to's on different beemers. It also has some pretty cool ride reports. It's a members mag not a BMW mag, so it's articles written by owners for owners.

It doesn't have all these bullshit motorcycle comparisons or massive Icon advertisement articles.

Well towards the end, of my subscription days, I didn't read much more than the reader's letters anyway. They were always the most interesting (or most stupid) content.

The US rags suck. PB, published by MCN, is still the best.

I used to have that many. Unfortunately, Roadracer X went out of business.... half way through my subscription.

I get Roadracing World free from the racing series I was supposed to race in this year. They are listed in the back section, so I think we get free subs.

PB is the shit. Albeit, a tad expensive. I dont know how a company that puts out such crappy videos can put out such a good rag.

There is another brit rag that is good, but I can't remember the name. Ive gotten it at Pony before. Its like $10 too...
