    The Great UKRM MCN 'sting'

    Someone brought this subject up... and it is far too good not to share.

    For those not in the know, MCN ('Motor Cycle News' to the unwashed, 'More Comic than Newspaper' to the rest of us) has something of a reputation for being, er, 'creative' with their news. They can also be very lazy.

    The following link is what happened when one major bike forum decided to set a trap...

    Begs the question "Would you believe anything you read?"
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Now that was worth a laugh
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Hah. Not up there with Redford, Newman and friends but a good little sting nonetheless (humming "The Entertainer" already)

    A great laugh.

    Always have wondered why some people will belive what's written but disbelive a good spoken yarn.
    Bet these clowns are wondering something along those lines them selfs now.
    Lazy thieving buggers will do their home work next time.

    About time the buggers were caught. I for one never believed anything they wrote (hmmm), particularly when they stated that the R1 was Bike Of The Year.... as if!
