MCN / Excel... observations. Long.

Slower Than You says...

MCN are sensationalist cunts who've done more harm to motorcycling, and
been responsible for more restrictive legislation than any other body or
publication, since some bright spark put a steam engine on his bicycle.
Their 'journalists' - if they can be called that - are badly trained,
plagiarising, story fabricating, lazy tossers.

 

They're crap. And Googling on this ng for 'MCN supercharged v-twins'
will open your eyes.

 

I checked for the gold sticker before I bought it, as I may be using it
for trackdays at some point. It has one and an ECE22-05 mark on the
back of the lid (but not on the chinstrap), so I assume I've not been
had. It also fits amazingly well (that is the main reason I bought it
as I didn't go to the show with the intention of buying a lid). So

That's amazing... I had absolutely no idea they did that.

They makes for quite good reading if these sort of things matter to you.

 

I think I've posted this before, but way back when Centurion was
making helmets, they had to modify one of their lids - might have been
the Pilot - to suit th German market, because they discovered that the
average German skull was, yes, slightly squarer than the European
norm. Honest.

OK, I'm sold. As luck would have it, I've never bought a copy of MCN in
my life (I have a sub for PB, and occasionally buy BIKE too) so I feel
fully untainted.

 

Slower Than You says...

MCN, Bike and PB are all owned and published by EMAP

 

Hahah! Brilliant! What a bunch of turds.

 

Well I ain't stopping reading PB. It's a great mag, EMAP or no EMAP.
Bike, on the other hand, I mostly read to fill in the time before the
next issue of PB lands on the doormat.

 

We all thought so, too. )

 

With you so far....

But but but.... St Trev of Franklin works for them and TOG doesn't! Or is
this the exception which proves the rule?

Wot is it with you. Have we met? Perhaps, if I thought it important, I
may take the time to punctuate and be a little more literate especially
for you..... however, I have the feeling it would be wasted.....
obviously you expect perfection only in this piss ant newsgroup.
Get a grip and stop criticising and nit picking on such a personal level
with so much vitriol.

If that's the tone you're going to adopt, forget the handbag, pack yer
suitcase and **** off.

 

He's being nice. Don't post when he's in a bad mood[1] if you can;t
take a little light ribbing.

You're supposed to be a journalist.

Decent punctuation and grammar comes with the job, doesn't it?

Your so-called "report" was shite. And self-serving shite, at that.

 

Who, me? What's your problem, you old fart? Ruffled a few feathers,
have I? Well, read it and weep, fucktard.

I made a comment on your OP with the intention of waking you up to
your (obvious) failings. You choose to communicate in a text-based
medium and fail to obey even the simplest rules of English, let alone
the niceties required to make your dull posts even barely readable,
let alone entertaining and then you commit sufficient faux pas to make
them irritating at minimum, barely coherent as the norm.

I fucking hope not. You might have been the toothless, hairless,
witless old gimmer in the corner of the snug, dribbling into his
hours-old half of mild, I suppose - but I've certainly never engaged
you in conversation, let alone a battle of wits as that would be akin
to making war on an unarmed man.

Try looking up a definition of 'ellipsis'.

You call yourself a journo, you accept a Press pass and then whine
that it doesn't do what you wanted. I'd rate you as a Year 6
scribbler at best, fit only for the pulp press such as MCN and I will
thertefore treat you as such.

Watch the door on your way out, you superannuated waster. If you
don't like it, you'll never change it.

Tell you what - why don't you go and start your very own Web Forum
instead. Then you can spend your miserable, lonely twilight years
wanking and wibbling to yourself without troubling those of us who are
sufficiently cognisant of English as to tire of your whining.

I haven't started on the vitriol yet, fuckwit. I'm still on the
absinthe.

I fucking hope there's a half-brick in there, for your sake. I'll
give you one swing and then you're mine.

 

Heh. DFWAG.

1. Implied..... sometimes, registering gets more perks and better
facilities. At Excel it was a room to store helmet and gear and a coffee
machine!
2. Have you read a newspaper, magazine, periodical recently?
3. Yup. Oh... at your age you should know not to start a sentence with
"and" My original post was observations for all you critics of Excel
not a "report". If allowed I would have added a binary of some ugly
bird with her tits out to keep you all happy !!

Now, chew and swallow.
