I tend to read ADVRider mostly, but also MCN quite often.
I miss the old UBG (Used Bike Guide) stories, anyone got an old stash from a decade or two ago?

Oh that hurt, ouch.

Note to self, you must spend more time on your posts as not to offend condescending tts who post on PH.

The previous post was simply not cricket and it ruined the general decorum of this topic.

It is not an excuse that you probably posted that perched above the stter, on your Aye-phone while having an electronic fag.

Oh what quaint irony, you judged a book by its cover yet you have been judged by one post. Irony where art thou?

Sorry but that got on my hoop a bit.

I always thought BB was a bit different from the rest of PH, a place where you linguistic skills didn’t really matter. No one was going to make gay comments about punctuation, grammar or because you miss spelt a few words. Or because you posted on a fking aye-phone and kept it short and sweet, because PH is hopeless on it.

At least he's taking positive steps to extend his life and to benefit those around him, giving off second and smoke and smelling like an ashtray.

I'm more worried about the thongs wedged up both your arses. hehe

Sorry mate, was having a bad day but that was uncalled for on my part so I apologize. Im embarrassed to admit this but I suppose I take criticism of my favorite bike mags (PB and BIKE) quite personally as for years and years before I could afford a bike, they were all I had and I suppose I lived vicariously through the articles.

It¡¦s ok ƒº I¡¦ll let you off. I¡¦m a lover not a fighter. Now lets never fight like this again my blackprince cloud9

As I said I picked it up in Morrison¡¦s and flicked through it, I never read it in any great detail. From what I seen it was just a lot of aftermarket mod¡¦s they were doing, sprocket changes etc nothing that interested me. And a GSX-R review if I remember correctly.

this month¡¦s does look way better!

Hi John,

I think Superbike has improved in recent months. More mature features have been good. (It used to read as if it was written for teenagers, IMO.)

Harvey mush man said:
We've been working hard to change the feel of SuperBike magazine over the last 12 months. Sales have started moving in the right direction and the general feedback is that it's getting better. If you haven't seen it for a while and would like to flick through a free copy, message me or email John@superbike.co.uk with your address and I'll stick one in the post.

Cheers

John
I'm only an occasional reader, but it's interesting and well written features that make me buy a copy of the mag.

Good luck with the turnaround!
