I read the Harley issue just to see if MC was just licking the tip or if they decided to go full on deepthrought with Harley. Turns out MC went even further by tossing HD's salad as well.

I haven't read most of the electric bike articles yet but am interested to see how well they avoid issues like range, charging time without special equipment, and the propensity of the Lithium Polymer batteries some of the bikes have to violently burst in to flames when impacted, punctured, or overcharged.

H-D management sux balls, as does Motorcyclist and Cycle World. Sport Rider and Roadracing World get the job done. I much prefer Performance Bikes and Bike Magazine from Britain. Those and 'Randy Tart' Those Brits got it going on...

I'm subscribed to SR and Road Racer X, and occationally pick up PB if I'm near a Barns & Noble. How is Roadracing World? So far I love X, but hate that its a bi-monthly production. I know it ensures a better quality mag, but I hate waiting....
