Whats going on with Streetfighters mag?
Got my new copy today and there is almost as many fully faired feature bikes as fighters. Yes they are beasts but if i wanna read about long assed plastic covered drag bikes, i will buy a drag mag.
Just my 2c
Fighter pickings must be getting slim over there.
Although the trumpy framed gixxer is cool i must say.
That bike does look good Boris but those big welded up gouges out of the frame to fit the rocker cover don't fill me with confidence.The swingarm's a ripper though.
That chick sitting on it looks like she's had the goods moved to the left a fair way if that little pinky orange arrangement is an attempt at modesty too!
I see also that Sparts Gixxer made it in the mag,great looking bike that.Has that had a full article written on it yet?

HAHAHA. Dont worry fellas, no pissing contest here. I just figure throwing a few live hand grenades in every now and again keeps everyone sane. Didnt expect one of the forum veterans to bite though.

Statics:
is the branch of physics concerned with the analysis of loads (force, moment, torque) on a physical systems in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at rest under the action of external forces of equilibrium. When in static equilibrium, the system is either at rest, or moving at constant velocity through its center of mass.

Fighter pickings are not getting slim over here they just seem to put cheque book bikes in or ones with the odd bolt on goody on it alot of the time.
It may also help if they could be arsed replying to emails,I sent pics and spec of mine to them a while ago and not even a yes or no thanks WELL THEY CAN KISS MY FUCKING ARSEHOLE.:(:(:(

For anyone that's not familiar with Dave(sfoc711uk)'s bike, here it is:

How long ago did you submit it to them mate? MDM was hovering around here a couple of days ago. If he comes back see what his take on the matter is?
Here I am! :D
Well, it's no surprise that I didn't reply to any pics of that Gixer... I've not seen any!:)
While I don't particularly want to kiss anyone's "fucking arsehole", I will say that we would like to feature sfoc711uk's Suzuki! Get in touch Dave! ;)

i have to say that that is what RAPID lacks is a readers rides type section to let people know what guys are doing that arent necessarily feature material. what do you guys reckon???
fimpBIKES
14-12-2006, 07:43 AM
agreed!

14-12-2006, 09:47 AM
Yea. I don't think Jeff comes by here so send him an email and suggest it as he's open to ideas all the time.

14-12-2006, 01:43 PM
yea good onya si i did email about it a while ago but got no reply, might have been because i said that wayne g. was abit one sided with his bloody hondasas any honda employee would be!!

W G is not actually officially affiliated (fuck! Try saying THAT when you're pissed![}:)] ) with Honda at all any more - but I agree that you wouldn't know it! He seems incredibly biased towards the Honda's whenever he does a group test, and seems to focus on any 'down-side' he can find with any other brand and totally ignore any similar short-coming on a bike with a red wing on it...
I suppose he just loves Hondas as a result of the many years that he rode for them, and has probably ridden more of them that just about anyone else on the planet! They seem to suit his riding style a lot more than any other bike, but again this is probably because he rides one all the time...
That's getting a bit off-topic though... I know Jeff gets a LOT of readers bikes submissions, & he really doesn't have the time to go through them all & choose the best one every month (he does just about everything else for the mag too!), and so it's usually just a case of grabbing the next one in the 'pile' for each up-coming issue...

I've just realised how bizarre this is... two British blokes are discussing a British bike that's due to be featured in a British bike magazine on a forum that's based on the direct opposite side of the planet from the UK...
