Motorcyclist Magazine fired Dexter Ford

[ShinyPartsUp]

https://www.ranchmagazine.com/ Wheatie, one thing I can certainly guarantee you: If you're in the Used Book and Magazine store in Owosso, Michigan-DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, pick up a copy of Ranch and Rural Living magazine from the shelves.
When I owned a five acre "rancho" in Atascadero, CA many years ago, I subscribed to this magazine; and it is a neat little magazine about small farms and ranches. But you can rest assured, if you buy a used copy of this mag in Owosso: All of the sheep and goat articles pages will be glued together by daddy jam. Oh yucko, Bustanut joker would have "pre-used" it!!!

Hey fuker! send those copys to me ya tool. For some reason they don't send 'em here no moe..

Fact is, you can't even buy them in the bookstore anymore.. Hey, I didn't stick all the pages together. Goats are nasty, disrespectful, gossip mongering animals. I don't do 'em no more.

So there! :blum:

:jester:

That's it Bust, we're gonna go toe to toe! <_< Nobody puts down the relatives of my mistress. Goats have short hair -- not that nappy nasty crap you go for. I don't have to shave my love bug's *** like you do for a good time. And goats will eat any nasty evidence later. If Bill Clinton had done a girlie goat there'd be no blue dress, I'll tell you mister! And I promise they don't gossip -- unlike sheep they know what'll happen to them if they talk. Butchered and sent to California for Mexicans to buy in the supermarket.

I think it's pretty clear: a $500 helmet is exactly 6.253908 times better than a $79.95 one. Heck, even my $269.95 Scorpion EXO-900 is 3.376485 times better than that cheap Chinese POS. And my opinion was NOT influenced by any financial inducements. (Note to advertisers: that's negotiable.)

Back on Topic: I wear Schuberth helmets exclusively, because Hans und Dieter of BMW Motorraden AG in Berlin tell me to.

Not certain what testing standard Schuberth helmets are built to. Good thing about being a Kool-Aid consumer: Hans und Dieter just call me with BMW Fabrik instructions on the short wave radio set I keep in my basement especially for party communiques from Deutschland. Das war nur ein Scherz (just joking)! I should pay attention to helmet specs, but I don't!!

You want an un-biased, no-advertising motomag? "Motorcycle Consumer News" fills the bill. MCN is no-frills, only recently went to color printing, is printed on inexpensive paper stock and reviews the full spectum of bikes and accessories. About a year ago they ran an extensive article on BMW's alarming final drive failures, and probably kept me from buying one. A few technical articles in the past have been a bit short on science, but they aren't afraid to tell it like it is.

The mag is more expensive than the rest because there is no advertising, but for me it's worth it.

I gave up Motorcyclist a couple of years ago after the third issue in a row featured Ducatis. Nothing against Ducks but it looked like Catterson was publishing a rag about his favorite brand. After Mitch Boehm gave up the helm, Catterson took the mag in some new directions (dirt bikes, pickup trucks) that didn't float my boat. And the last time I picked up a copy of Motorcyclist at the airport, I sure felt thinner - fewer ads, fewer articles?

BTW, we know that a "cougar" is and older woman looking for a younger guy. And an older guy looking for a younger woman is a "dirty old man." Doesn't seem fair. Of course, at my age it it is called a "dreamer."

Middle age guys looking for younger ladies are also known as Trout

Gee whiz....and I thought they were called "sugar daddy".

Only if they have $$ to throw around, Mike. A trout can be quite poor.

Thank God for this timely clarification, Fred W! Niehart and I've no qualms whatsoever with being labeled "Sugar Daddies" or even "Dirty Old Men", but a trout appelation is an entirely different kettle of fish! We've always known you have to pay for it!

Hey, after game last night, watched the weather; looks bad in NH! It was 73 degrees yesterday for Arizona Forum Toy Run!

Weather isn't quite as bad here as the prognosticators were saying it should be.

But to cut down on the weather related bandwidth usage, let's just say it's going to be sucking badly here for the next 3 months at least. :angry2:

Mary Ellen, was hoping this gave Chris "dream" material to focus on while dealing with rough weather that's hitting the East!

I held off showing this video to FJR Forum members now signed up for our Copper Canyon Expedition, until after they placed their deposits. This is Adventure "rough" roads part of CC that Papa Chuy has never ridden, only heard about from others.

Those trails are scary Don. You were smart to hold back. And I just may nominate you for most determined thread hijacker of 2009

Hugs and Kisses

This is for scaring me:

:****:

Hmmmmm... Maybe I'll ask specifically for you to help me get up after each and every fall off my bike -- all 300+ pounds of me.

Si Shiny, those are indeed the trails we'll be facing West of Urique and Batopilas. This is the reason Brian and I've held off on this trek for so long, we wanted safety and security of riding with many others. You, Joe and I'll definitely team up together, I believe we will be riding along at the same pace. Brian is ultra fast offroad, I imagine he'll be paired up with Chris / fjrrider.
