used to buy KR religiously, but stopped a few years ago because its the same every month, like groundhog day really, but if subs are strong then all power to it.

I like Just Bikes from Aussie. I actually like the romance behind bike ownership & riding - the old stories, bikes being passed on to other family members etc -the human touch. I'm not one for statistics, performance reviews etc & I find a few pics of bikes for sale are worth more than a lot of words.

When KR started doing cafe reviews I just facepalmed. However I acknowledge that with the huge amount of cooking shows on TV that a good part of their readership would be interested.

I really like Nash & Spannerman from mct&n.

Even here on KB if someone posts a long post I just skip it. I don't want to be reading long diatribes in my fun time. I can do enough of that at work.

You young folk & your short attn span

He was speaking of KB moaners.
My take on the average KB denizen is of an unemployed 18 year old who rides a rat RG150, lives with his mother and is addicted to porn and x-box. Great customer.

My take is the Ignore function works great.

If someone writes a letter to the Editor with a real name and address supplied saying 'I think you could improve your product in the following areas' then it'll get due attention. Action if possible.

'You're crap' on an anon web forum. Probably not.

Lord knows I don't care enough to do that.

After all, I can just buy BRM.
