MCN in the US does quite a bit of bias BS. Perhaps, not as much as the rags that take adds, but they are no way as unbiased as they like to claim.

I take it this is a print-only thing? I can't find a link. And if something isn't on the internet, does it really exist?

Dear Mr. Jones,

Are you insinuating that serfs migrate? And what've you got against Moto Morini?

I am offended.

Please cancel my subscription at your earliest convenience.

Thank You

It's in a very recent print issue, so it will be online in a month or two.

I read a quote once on this site about Guzzis which basically said if you ride one for 10 minutes you'll hate it but ride it for 10 hours and you'll love it . I'm one of those lucky few !
These guys are missing the boat . It's their loss and I really like this little exclusive club we have here . Hope it's around for a longtime to come .

OK , why is it that we all celebrate how different our MGs are , and how we are such rugged individualist free thinkers we are , and yet when a journalist states the same thing , well hell , he is an idiot and should be shunned I don't get it .

I'm an individual, but its lonely out here. Its a pain to fight conventionality and nobody notices that you're doin your own thing. I think I'll get a Chinese scooter.

To quote Hunter S Thompson.

or, another one.
“Too weird to live, too rare to die!”

Which I like better.

LOL. Exactly. It's that whole, "My family is nuts!" "Wait, what'd you say about my mamma? Get my gun!"

All I know is I love my '12 Stelio NTX for the motorcycle it is, how it makes me feel when I ride it and look at it in the garage at night. Not because some one else said its a great bike or a terrible bike. So when I read comments (like Peter Jones) that somebody makes after taking a test ride or no ride at all, my only response is that as far as I am concerned, he can go piss up a rope.

oldbike54 · « **Reply #71 on:** July 24, 2015, 01:23:31 PM »

Once again , what did Mr Jones say that was wrong or bad ? He stated that he likes MGs .

Turns out peasant migrants , or migrants serfs , were quite common in Russia , so we are gonna need those shirts printed in Cyrillic

What I find interesting is that on two occasions, I had stopped at other brand dealerships to check on what they would charge to change a tire. When the sales manager in one case & dealership owner in another, found out it was a Moto Guzzi, they launched into a put down of the marque. I just smiled and replied.... where are all your customers, in fact where are your salesmen? A quick look revealed that they were all out in the parking lot looking over my California 1400 Cruiser. Emerging, & much to the chagrin of the would be put down artists, I was bombarded with questions & complements. Too weird for American tastes indeed...
