[skelstar]

Subscribed! Cheers... presumably US$16 + US$8 in cost for 24 months.

Cycle World has Peter Egan writing for it. His editorial, and any article he writes is worth the entry price to Cycle World.

Yes, I have his books "Leanings" and "Leanings2" both good reads, particularly the former. Recommended.

And sorry, no, y'all have to get your own copy

[Trouser]

24 months for me too. Can't complain for $20.

This sounds interesting, do they test dirt bikes as well?

[Crasherfromwayback]

They sure do

[Madnes]

Cheers for that great deal !!!

[young1]

Yep that is me sbuscribed to. And I see that if you subscribe now you get two free issues - so that means I am getting 26 issues!

[SPman]

$16.75 (Aus) for 26 issues!

I'm waiting for the "we have fucked up, you'll have to pay some more please" email.......

[Crasherfromwayback]

I'm guessing that they need 'x' amount of prints for some of their advertisers to stay on board...can't see why else they'd be doing it so cheaply, but I'm not arguing. I think they owe me a free subscription seeing how many here have latched onto it!

[James Deuce]

Tui Moment.

Motorcyclist for instance, lost millions of dollars of advertising money when they pointed out that Shoei and Arai's helmet design methodology is flawed.

Superbike haven't got the journalistic integrity or the plain collective intelligence to be able to conduct a scientific enquiry into helmet standards, helmet testing methods, and to then publish a long detailed series of articles showing that a $US70 KBC helmet is the safest helmet you can buy in the US. Motorcyclist totally debunked the myth that more dollars=safer helmet.

That litigious society actually promotes better levels jourbalistic accuracy.

Performance Bikes used to be superb when John Robinson was the technical editor. It's a poor cousin of Bike magazine now.

Cycle World has Peter Egan writing for it. His editorial, and any article he writes is worth the entry price to Cycle World.

I find that US magazines are far more willing to evaluate ANY motorcycle and say something positive, and something negative about every bike they test, unlike most British mainstream motorcycle magazines who proclaim that anything that isn't the latest sprotsbike is shit. Even the previous version of the same sprotsbike is immediately rendered shit by the release of its successor.

Well said Jim2- although Kevin Cameron's writings (as subsequently pointed out) are usually well worth a few dollars on their own.
Totally in agreement with you about the British mags- last year in the US I bumped into the editor of Motorcyclist and took no time to let him know that Dan Walsh was a waste of space and they needed to get rid of him asap. For those of you that don't know who Walsh is- he's a British journo- one of those insecure jerks who has to let you know on almost every line how many girls he's pulled and what his drug intake has been in the past day. Every now and again he gets on a bike and attempts some kind of adventure; usually doomed. Anyway it seems he's crawled back to the UK, probably to write for Superbike.
And any biker who isn't interested in helmet design, R&D and value is, in my view, a fully qualified member of the ten dollar helmet, ten dollar brain brigade.

I find with American mags that they are so afraid law suits, they never seem to say a bad thing about even the worst of the worst.

At least the pommie chaps at Superbike are brutally honest.

I disagree. What was the last "worst of the worst" they raved about that sucked: I will re-read that test or issue.

I read CW for Kevin Cameron first, Peter Egan second, and the tests n stuff third. The problem with the tests is that all the units are imperial (sorry "US standard" which have no meaning for me really...) I have subscribed to it ever since Cycle magazine folded though. the only other mag I subscribe to is Performance Bikes though I have been buying Classic Racer a bit lately.
