Journo's. They'll be experts in gardeners world next week. It doesn't matter what mag/paper you read, they all make it up as they go along.

Only someone struggling in the taste dept. would have one with red seats, they should have one with black seats, black engine and oh yeah a black telelever :D

Though credit where its due at least the bike was black :thumb

I too have done a bit of freelance journo scribbling in my time,just take it all with a pinch of salt,and remember the journo's favourite adage;

"never let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Or;"If you can't dazzle em with brilliance,baffle em with bullshit" :rolleyes:
 
MCN - Alternative useage...

... 'bout the only time I buy a copy of MCN these days, is when I need some more paper to put down for the dog.:flush
 
Went to Andorra last year on a BMW-organised run. We had an MCN exec with us who had just picked up his free long-term (as in a year) Adventure and was going on the trip for nowt because of the publicity it would get in the paper.

As a newspaper journalist I'm well-used to freeloading, but this chap (who was good company) did exceptionally well. He also admitted that all the "extras" they write about fitting to their bikes are blagged from the manufacturers.

But don't forget, their job is to sell the paper and if their main customer is a 2000-mile a year, sports rep riding, leather romper suit-wearing, angle grinder on the sliders type who thinks BMWs are unfashionable and ridden by boring old gits, then they have to reflect that in their stories.

True, but how many more are they alienating by printing such biased drivvel?
 
It's not even a new article. They have just put a link to it from their homepage as they do not have any original material.

It was on the MCN website when I bought my GS in Spring 2001.

The most recent owners review is dated Nov 2002.

I've stopped buying EMAP publications (Bike, Ride, MCN) as they have more repeats than the BBC.

The same articles are just recycled every year.
 
Surprisingly Enough...

..Tim Thompson, the top man at Bike Magazine owns a R1100S complete with a Vanderline Exhaust, and seems very happy with it..

Does he really own it? Or is it a BMW loan bike?

According to what I was reading in the Spring edition of What Bike, he own's it, but you can't trust these fcuking :monkeypiz Journo's...
