I see that Cycle World is going to a quarterly, upscale, coffee table type of magazine, similar to what Motorcyclist has done.

While this is going to provide some good reads, where in the print world do I go for road tests, comparisons, letters to the editor, long term tests and the like?

I'm going to miss these two magazines, in the format that I've enjoyed them in for the last 50 years, as well as the defunct Sport rider, Cycle, and Cycle Guide.

Car projects on hold for this weekend, March 17-18. Next weekend scheduled to take the cylinder head off the '87 325i. If luck is with me (  Roll Eyes ) I will get the head back on the same weekend (  Roll Eyes  What could possibly cause me to even begin to think that? ).



OK, so I managed to only get the head off the engine this weekend.  The good news is that everything is perfectly flat in every direction on both the cylinder head and the block. The old head gasket never sealed properly & the main worry was that there was some previously undetected warpage that was setting up the oil leak. It is now known positively that is not the case so without any crazy extra expense and needed time everything can go back together. Hopefully next weekend. What a year............  bang head  bang head  bang head

Trying a little different riding style plus a little less power & weight.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I'd say let's go ride, and I'm totally good with that, except I am still breaking things in and don't want to go on any extended freeway rides. It's the opposite now. I can make multiple trips over Tantalus & love it.  Dolph
