Roy-Nexus-6 and others seem to get it.  Others don't.

Hi!  I'm the Senior Editor over at TrackdayMag.com.  Yup.  I edited the piece in question and published it.  Personally, I thought the piece was full of wry humor.  Heck, Jim clearly stated that he secretly lusts after Ducatis and made it clear that he really liked some of the bikes he rode that day.  Therefore, I'm thinking that those who got all up in arms about the article must A) have absolutely no sense of humor and/or B) must suffer from some deep, concealed sense of inadequacy.

Here's a little self-test to see which side of the line you fall on.  As a Ducati owner, do SV650 Suzukis make you nervous?  If you answer no, you probably took the article in the spirit it was written in and had a good old belly laugh over it.  If you answered no but were lying, You probably suffer from feelings of inadequacy....

Anyhow, bravo to those who understood where Jim was coming from and no apology to those who didn't.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully you'll stick around, I think you'll find that this is a very diverse forum with members from every spectrum you could possibly imagine.

I shouldn't hang around here.  People might figure out that I secretly lust after Ducatis.

I saw nothing wrong with that article. He gave his review of the bike.

It seemed more like he gave a review of his bike.

I thought it was funny that the author turned the free stuff around as elite stuff, presumably while stuffing schwagg in his suit.

Umm,  I think it was meant to be funny . . .

I fear any bike that does not look cool while parked in front of a Starbucks.

I agree. That was the best part.
