The link from the Forums to the Blogs doesn't work. If I click the Forum link in the Blogs it opens in a new page. Can somebody coordinate all the links to work, preferably the same way? And can they be put in the same place everywhere? And the User Control Panel has had issues forever. And why can't I upload photos to my albums any more?

Hello?

Don't get me wrong, I love that you've made all this available online at all. I think the "new" look is fine, too. But' like Windows, etc., change without fixes are not good changes.

To me they're still more Dreer than Norton. Two guys are gonna build (assemble, whatever) 500 a year? And there's gonna be a 2012 4-cylinder Norton? Yeah, that's gonna knock the UJMs right out of the running.

I'd love to see that bike or 99% of it be mass produced, even 1/2, heck 1/4 the numbers of the Bonneville, heck, the Thruxton, but I'm not holding my breath.

Again, kudos to KD and his team. If I were uber-rich, I'd back KD, Erik Buell and/or the others (like that dentist and the guy with the bidirectional inline 4) who try to build their ideas: guys who live it. I wouldn't try to buy one out and bastardize their creations.

Rich dudes, please stop capitalizing on the names of famous designers. Norton, Vincent, Brough, etc are dead. Let them have all the glory their ideas (out of their own brains) deserve. Same goes for von Dutch. I never liked his attitude nor particularly his pinstriping, but by God they were his! Stop selling his name on apparel to morons who have more money than clue. Make your own name and sell the hell out of it and best of luck with that.

Anybody wanna buy this cool "Ed Turner" snap-brim cap?

okay, it already did.
see Hoyers Up Front in the current issue.
now that old Triumph scrambler freaking rocks!
why?
because its ridden, and ridden as intended.

now that said, the CW feature bike , the custom triumph based "bobber" , sure is cool. its got all he mods and trick stuff most regular guys cant afford. :o
which of course makes it cool to glossy paged international moto magazines.
i agree its interesting, well done, and kudos to the builder for staying true to form while incorporating all that neat detail.

but Worlds Coolest?
NO WAY!
not until it actually gets out in the world. there is no plate on that bike, i dont even think its been run much, if at all.

Riders like hoyers bike are the coolest bikes in the world.
to laymen like me at least! :cool:

A hair salon in Totnes was cleared out b y n i g h t -t i m e r a i d e r s ov e r t h e weekend.

Cops abandoned holds over of shampoo and other products worth Pounds 5,000 when they struck at The Hair Sanctuary in the Narrows between Saturday and Monday morning. Joint owners Rob and Nicola Broom have to re-stock their salon before becoming fully operational after losing all their Tigi products and GHD hair straighteners. Mr Broom stressed the thieves may have problems selling on their haul because all the items are only obtainable through the trade.

"It should cost arduous for them to pass on what they stole," said Mr Broom, who thinks the raiders may be the same as those who snatched several hundred pounds of goods in a similar strike in June.

"But this time they took so much more. They've cleared us out completely," he said, adding that the offenders used plastic bins to carry away the booty.

"The more people who know these products are trade-only, the more difficult it will be for the thieves to get rid of them."

He revealed the culprits got into the shop by forcing a locked gate in the back yard of the premises, before using a jemmy to break in through sash windows.

"If it wasn't the same people doing this it was someone who knew their way around the area," said Mr Broom.

hey CW Staff !!!!

you guys previously have convinced half of us, that a sport bike can be a standard (ten best issue).
but now you are trying to redefine the term bobber? thats way over the line! :mad:

a bobber with a radiator that looks to be out of a "70's Ford LTD???? :eek:

come off it CW!!!! you are really pushing the category descriptions with that. :rolleyes:

call it streetfighter , hooligan bike, Ogri Special, whatever. but it aint no bobber. ::o

Burnsey can put it into words way better than my "outwardly bigoted" comments. See his article "Twin sons of different manufactures" in the latest issue.

The opening shot is of these two look-a-likes (Vulcan 900 and V-Star 950) from the right front 3/4 and proves my point very well from my rage generating post in Asian bikes.

Be that as it may, I really cant imagine being very proud of a design team after blatantly copying what the other guys are doing. Hell I'd fire them all in one felled swoop and shop the hot rod art/pop culture venues looking for some designers with balls. "Let's tear them a new one" would be my orders, or something to that effect...

Please take a minute and study the opening pic and then try to tell me that a couple of weak headed designers aren't running across Tokyo with their latest stolen digital photo's of each others work.
Hell they cant even get that right. Look at the sewer pipe muffler on the Star! Those bikes suck even before the "style" was stolen. I guess the joke is on them and they don't even know it.

End of lesson.

Maybe there are some knowledgeable people out there after all?

I don't know if Geo. Patton ever rode any motorcycle(although he could have. He was involved the the Pancho Villa expedition when motorcycles were used for the first time by our military). However if he had it would neither have been chrome-plated nor pearl-handled. Patton's revolvers were ivory gripped and nickel plated(much like some bikes of the time, if I remember correctly). I won't repeat what the General said when someone thought his revolvers were pearl-handled.

Oh, cool article about a cool bike BTW.

Great article by Steve Thompson "reminiscing" about his days on the British road racing circuits of the Sixties and early Seventies.

Brands Hatch, Mallory Park, Cadwell Park, Oulton Park, Snetterton, Croft, Donnington Park, Silverstone, etc.

Days of Stadium, Everoak, and Cromwell helmets (until Bell's full-face introduction burst onto the scene). Days of all-black leathers.....the rider's helmet color being the main means of identification. Days of appalling conditions in the pits at many of the circuits. Days of even more appalling unsanitary conditions in the (aptly named) "bogs".

But it was a classic time when the sounds of Hailwood's Honda 6, Agostini's MV 3, and Phil Read and Bill Ivy's 4 cylinder Yamaha 2-strokes mingled with the bark of Manx Nortons, AJS 7Rs and Matchless G50s.

And great appreciation for Steve's sincere recognition of the services of the St John's Ambulance Brigade, as well as the tireless efforts of the track personnel who willingly donated so much of their time.

Several thumbs up for the article Steve.

What's up with Cameron in his latest CW column, 'Reality Racing'? He must have been truly riled about the subject because the article came off as more hasty blog than crafted piece, as evidenced by his opening line about being old enough to remember the TV show 'Sea Quest'. With a Google Search only a few clicks away, Kevin should have known the Lloyd Bridges series he's old enough to remember was 'Sea Hunt', not 'Sea Quest'. An important distinction to those of us also old enough to remember.

Hasty or not, Mr. Cameron did make his point - racing needs to be more than crowded grids and tight competition. A worthy 'Quest' :)

Is it me or are there just too many cruiser/harley articles in this mag? I feel like im reading the same issue every month.

Where do I send samples for testing so I don't get banned?
Keep in mind I know most of you AREN'T moderators.

I dont think many people out in layperson land knows just how hard it is to work with Titanium. Choosing the correct grade, using the exact right filler rod and just plain machining it is a real problem. Tis all the more incredible that virtually every major fabricated/machined component on the thing is Ti. Dang!

At 76K entry price (base model?), They are also very proud of the work. Sure is pretty though.

Maybe CW should start a section called "Italian Flyers". They certainly have found some obscure and ultra exotic builders out there.

Seriously, how come I get my August issue on the same day that some one else gets their September issue? To top it off, they got the September issue on the 27th of July and I'm STILL waiting on the same issue two weeks later.

Come on guys...why pay for a subscription and never get the magazine?
