Open Letter to Motorcyle.com
I have an Idea for the next article. Going out on a limb here...but....here goes:
1. Gather a few experienced riders (preferably someone we have heard of).
2. Get a bike (New, used, at this point it doesn't even matter).
3. Ride the bike in various settings and take copious notes on what it's like (comfort, power, handling...you know, pros and cons).
4. Gather the notes and transform them into an informative, cohesive, and entertaining review of the bike (this is the most difficult part but I think you guys can do it).
5. Post that article on this website so all of your subscribers can read it, be informed and entertained, and have a hilarious debate after reading the article.
Here's the MOST IMPORTANT part: If, for some reason or another, this is not possible right now, have the common decency to tell your loyal subscribers (who pay money) why and let them know what to look forward to in the near future. In other words, FCUKING COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR READERS!! MO has been notoriously horrible at this and it's time you guys let us know what's going on.
Quick example: NEW OWNERS!! NEW EDITOR!! NEW FORMAT!! LOTS OF CHANGES!! What's happened since?? Crickets, that's what. It's annoying and unprofessional. I hate to compare MO to other magazines, but every single month I know exactly what to expect from Motorcyclist. I have yet to receive an issue that's blank inside. Time to step up MO.
