In this case the combination of the two appears to have only
compounded our feelings toward a paper that used to do so much for the sport of motorcycling in the days of Norrie, Nick and the rest of the reporters of truth who did not need to write articles like the ones we get just now.

Nowadays it is all adverts and little else and what is published is written without research or thought.

A bit like the National newspapers !!!

Never a truer word spoken Ian, i started buying MCN in its infancy (god, was it that long ago !), but had started to get fed up with it when all they could think of was the 'latest Ducati, or 'how to wheelie' etc. Then since they did that report on the Marshaling issue last year i have never bought another one. And you know what, i don't miss it one bit !!
