I still won't buy it, and I actively avoid reading it if I have the chance to. It's trash, written by semi-literate 'journalists' (I use the term very loosely) who think they are bikers.

There was a time many years ago when MCN was a good read - it stuck up for rider's rights and gave excellent write-ups on what was happening in the world of motorcycling. Nowadays it is the motorcycling equivalent of the Daily Star - badly written, no stories of any worth and laughable in its ability to plagiarise and concoct stories for shock effect.

Has anyone actually bothered to write an email and send it to the editor complaining rather than moan on a website?

Just a thought...

I have not read the full review so cannot comment.

yup me

Good good. You should have added the link to this post too.

I think partly could be for what i was taught in my bike training, you are more agile and easier to keep out of the way on a bike. At traffic lights sit to the right or left of a lane, it may help you be avoided.

I'm not backing the guy up, this could be his point, there are options you can take to avoid.

Just to clarify i dont often use that method, cos anyone not seein me would be just darn right bloody stupid, or blind lol.

ALL HAIL ABUSE AT PLOWSIE!!!!!!!

This guy actually had a valid point but he made in a very bad way and sounded like a nob in the process. Some people eh! ?

But Glamour falls down the toilet if you drop it...

True, but at least the glossy pages dry out quickly.
It is a trade off between portability and potty-ability.
