Re: Mr Postman
A coppy of Ride magazine... I saw an add online and they had a sprint st on the cover, i am considering one as a longer range touring bike so i gave it a try... First impression is that I won't be subscribing.

Re: Mr Postman
I read ride a cople of times, I always found it to be very patronising in that unless your the type to wear hi vis and ride a gs then your not a real biker type of garbage.Stonesie wrote:A coppy of Ride magazine...

I like to think of the magazines as people in a pub and the impression I get is this:
Ride magazine would be constantly lecturing me on what I ride, how I ride, how he is better than everyone there. (and go on for ages about how amazing his new drop down sun visor is or some sh!t)
PB is the very fast very knowledgable ex racer that knows what they are talking about and is always interesting
Bike magaizine is the old boy that has seen everything and done everything and is ok but does drone on a bit, you have to be in the right mood to talk to them for a long period of time but occasionally they teach you something new
Fast Bikes magazine is the young guy who is a proper laugh and you get on really well with but its the one whos gunna stick it in a a hedge on the ride out.
MCN can piss off to the pub across the road on their own, nobody likes them and they just spout the same old rubbish about Rossi being amazing over and over again
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: Mr Postman
Work filtering won't let me get a link for you but it's the "YI HD55 dashcam". I got it from Amazon on a lightning deal - full price is £43 (still a bargain).Kwacky wrote:Got a link for that? I keep meaning to buy one for the car but never get round to it.
I'll try and remember to get a couple of vids (night and day) and post to YouTube for you to see the quality. I'm impressed

Re: Mr Postman
As part of my Qantas Frequent Flyer i get a free digital subscription to Press Reader for access of 12hrs on the days i fly. As such i have downloaded each of those mags at different times and from my limited exposure I'd say you are smack on!Cavetroll87 wrote:I read ride a cople of times, I always found it to be very patronising in that unless your the type to wear hi vis and ride a gs then your not a real biker type of garbage.Stonesie wrote:A coppy of Ride magazine...

Bikesure. Gone up 5% on last year.. I rang up and asked about discount and they included some personal accident insurance instead.

Re: Mr Postman
The impressive thing about Bikesure is they seem to want to make sure you are happy with the cover. They don’t appear to want to get as much out of you as possible.

Re: Mr Postman
Mr Postman has bought me nothing! blooming snow, I'm waiting for my guitar amp to come back from repair shop and a new toy too which isn't here yet. This snow was all fun and games until my stuff didn't arrive!
