I just gotta say the R6 is one of the funnest track bikes out there. I didn't get enough track time in this year on mine, that made me want more!!
technical nitpick... you might try using 'de-interlacing' when you convert the video to a AVI (or, for that matter, a mpeg2 file). I'm sure the bike vibration didn't help the camcorder any, but it should still be possible to greatly reduce the interlace aliasing.

How many weeks without new content and then this?
When I look at the "staff" page, I don't see any writers, so perhaps that's part of the problem.
I'll agree that $12 was a great value for all of the content provided during the past year but the recent trend in minimal cycle-oriented content with long waits in between is pretty awful. As I keep being reminded, I've got 16 days to renew my subscription but I just can't make up my mind.
So I think I'm going to wait it out to see if I'm better off buying a McD's meal for two or another year of MO.
Regards,
Ross

I feel your pain
We have another dreaded El Nino here in Minnesota as well. I believe That we have been experiencing Seattle's winter. All rain, no snow. My bike is put away, and there is, as of yet, no hope in getting the snowmobile out. I may be loosing it due to not getting my motor fix AAAHHHHH!

Wow, you're really clever. Let us all know how that works out for you.
So very clever. Witty, too.

Somethings to think about. How I changed from MO critic to MO fan.
I turned from being a critic to a fan when someone pointed out that for $12 its not a bad deal
[*] Great videos, pictures, and writing (Burns)some sites have one or the other but not all
[*] Most of time bikes are (pre/re)viewed here before any print rag. Since MO is located in the heart of motorcyling in the US, So Cal, they get wind of the latest trends etc.
[*] Great forum. Reader feedback is great I learn a lot

Re: How many weeks without new content and then this?
I agree for the most part. Content has been pretty sparse lately. I can't tell you how sick I was of seeing "whirry, not an ounce of fatty" showing up as the headline. But come on, you know you get *at least* a dollars worth of enjoyment from it every month. Also remember, every minute of the day not spent reading MO, is another minute you spent doing actual work.

Not much content in the print mags lately either... I've seen more/better photos of the incoming '03s on MO than I have in print. The comparisons tests could be a little longer read than they are currently... I remember years ago MO tests were long and interesting. Some of the recent ones have been pretty sparse. Still, if it keeps the site alive I can spare a buck a month to see how it turns out. The site is pretty damn good, but it can and likely will get better. One of the print mags' editors called motorcycle paysites "silly" (anyone remember who it was?) but if it wasn't a threat they wouldn't bother competing with their upcoming free site. Maybe all the guys Boehm pisses off at Motorcyclist can contribute to this site and we'll have full-size comparisons again...

Oh just you wait!
We have great plans for you all in 2003! The theory around here is that merely beating the print mags at their own game by providing the tests and shootouts faster and better isn't enough. We want to focus on doing things they simply can't, basically more multimedia (videos, reams of photos) and more reader community features (online chats with racers, post your own photos & stories), etc. No promises on a timeline here. This is a work in progress but believe me when I tell you that this time next year you'll be stoked you spent the $11.94!
