Bike magazines

I think the strategy will have to be along the lines of "you have a deadline
of X date to get it fettled and up for sale, otherwise I'm claiming it as
mine, selling it and keeping the proceeds".

Alternatively I could just keep it myself, it's a complete scream to ride.

<sigh> And you're a ****. Can't we all just play nicely?

 

You're missing the point of UKRM, I think.

 

What is the "point" of UKRM?

 

It's not to "play nicely", that's for damn sure.

 

You're an idiot.

 

Yes.

 

Top seller in the UK is the weekly Motor Cycle News. That sells about
130k a week.

Top selling monthly is Bike, at just under 90k. Next is Superbike with
70k.

I really, really can't be arsed going through every single question
you've asked and posting a massive tome in response to each one.

No offence - you're on the other side of the globe, and you *really*
don't know what happens here. As an illustration, just see your
assumption above, on which you were basing one of your arguments.

OTOH, this is what I do for a living and have done for nearly 25
years.....

The UK market is odd. Bike mags are odd.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, The Older Gentleman amazed us all with this pearl
of wisdom:

Coming from a position of complete ignorance I'd say that that's due to
the people working on them than anything else ;O)

BTW, I went out yesterday and bought a copy of Bike, it was the DVD of
LWR that swayed it. First time I've bought a bike mag this year and was
a bit pissed off that the "unseen footage" in the DVD was about ten
minutes but on the bright side, it does seem slightly better than when I
last bought it. Whether that's to do with the different page layout or
because I haven't bought it for so long, I don't know. I'm sure if I
bought it every month for the next 12 months though, the "fashions"
would come round again and I'd be reading the same stuff that I'm
reading now.

 

I shagged in my last company van, just to spite the owners really.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Champ amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

"When you've gotta go, you've gotta go"

Haven't you just been driving along with a burd and felt like a shag?

I've done it as recently as last year but in fairness it hasn't been a
regular thing since my teens/early twenties.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Muck amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Did you leave spunk on the seat? Many moons ago when I was driving Merc
vans, more than one of the fleet had my DNA left in them

 

Heh.. no. I just smiled a lot when I handed the keys back that's all.

 

<shrug> OK.

JL

 

That's taking your sofa fetish a bit far.

<makes note to avoid s/h Merc vans>

 

Well said.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Grimly Curmudgeon amazed us all with this pearl
of wisdom:

You daft bugger. The sofa fetish came about out of desperation and
loneliness, I wasn't hard up for a shag back then.

I'm sure the ones I was using are on the top of a scrap heap by now or
have fallen to the floor in a pile of rusty flakes.

 

After reading this for about five minutes, I can't come up with a
reply. Ben, my dear, you have made me speechless. It's not often a
man does that. Are you a bigger bitch than I? The one that I have
always feared would one day come?

 

I'm worried that a handsome, tall, fit young man such as yourself was
ever hard up for a shag.

 

Doesn't sound like he is anymore.
