I like Roadracer X because it isn't the same mag as the rest. All the other mags basically do the same story. What tires are the best, what knee pucks are the best, the lastest test ride, what exhaust, blah blah blah. The X talks about real world racing and not just racing in the states, but everywhere. They land some pretty cool interviews too. The one draw back is that it only comes out every other month. So by the time you read about an up coming event, you have already been to it or seen it on tv. Still a very good rag.

word to your mother.

Road Racer X for the most excellent photographic content. not the same old recycled topics like reg US mags. They keep it fresh with all the current race news too.

Performance Bikes and Superbike have to be two of my favorites. They've got great product reviews, performance information and racing/rider news. Like you said..."it's a grip for UK magazines" but it's like having all of the different types rolled into one.

When's the last time you ever paid for a UK magazine, anyways?? Speaking of which, I renewed one of them, but not the other, so, uh, I think all we're getting now is Superbike. Superbike and Performance Bikes are great for their MotoGP and WSBK race coverage and interviews.

I also get Motorcycle Consumer News, Motorcyclist, and Cycle World. I might get Sport Rider, but I lost track of when that expires. MCN is great for its unbiased product reviews.

T.W.O, Performance Bikes, and Superbikes! Pretty much all the U.K mags that show bikes and T-N-A! :D

Speaking of which.....when are you droping off the latest copies? I've almost memorized the ones you dropped off last time.

There was a neet article in this month's issue on Jeremy Toye. Didn't know he did other stuff besides roadracing - like stunts, supermotard and off-road. Also talked about his days riding Palomar and the switch to riding on the track... good quote on that.
