That would be breaching copyright. I can sell you a back issue.

The rare 'Hyotypo' issue might become a collectable.

I have done a bit of graphic design and layout in the past. Very rarely did I cast my eye of the actual copy for spelling, punctuation etc. All I was doing was trying to make it look good on the page and/or fit on the damn page. LOL

Yep - I call it tetris with words and pics.

None presented the opportunity to taunt you.

Mostly it's my dribble.

Condemning an entire manufacturer on the basis of second-hand knowledge of one bike says more about you than it does about Hyosung...

What happened in the Feb 11 harley Road King and Fat Boy test BD?? Opening page ends with "but more important, Harley claim, is the"..... And try as I might I can't find the rest of this sentence in any of the following pages!!

Why do I persist in buying this mag? My subscription has run out now so this is probably my last.

The other half has the Hyosung GT650 and it has been reliable as any other bike, has not skipped a beat to tell the honest truth. In the last 18 months she has done 20,000 odd km's on it and only ever don the standard servicing... and has been cheaper to run than past bikes we have had...

Sorry about that - looks like a layout error. This is what I submitted.

------------
The Air-cooled, Twin Cam 103™ has a displacement of 1690 cc via a Bore x Stroke of 98.4 mm / 111.1 mm. As usual, H-D don’t claim a horsepower figure, (I’d guess-timate it around 70 to mid 70’s), but more important, Harley claim, is the torque figure of 134 Nm @ 3500 rpm.

Either way I found it delightful to punt along on the open road. Ground clearance is good (for a Harley) and I only hit the footboards on the deck a few times during the whole test.
----------------

I'll post the correction on the web site.

Keep buying it because you luff me :-)
