Does anyone read Ultimate Motorcycling Magazine?
30 Mar 2009 08:59 - 30 Mar 2009 09:00
I just ran across
Ultimate Motorcycling
through an online ad this morning. Has anyone seen an issue of it? It looks like it's a bi-monthly publication. Subscription price is $20/year so it's not as expensive as Motorcycle Classics but is higher than Cycle World.
A bit of searching turned up this review:

That seems to leave me out! :SUltimateMotorCycling.com enjoys one of the wealthiest motorcycle consumer demographics of any online publication in the U.S.A. and abroad. Our readers are most often affluent consumers of higher-end motorcycling products and services. They are the most likely buyers who will opt for premium equipment and destinations. Syndicated and reader studies reiterate what we already know - Ultimate Motorcycling appeals to readers of higher net worth who are discerning, discriminating and able to afford the things they are passionate about.

Heres's a quote from on of the articles:
"In a serendipitous turn of events—with the current craze of retro chic that has major motorcycle manufacturers proffering knock-offs of their former glories—Royal Enfield found itself in vogue simply by virtue of never having fixed what wasn't broken. With the inevitable swing of the fashion pendulum catapulting dated items back into the realm of cool, the humble little Indian manufacturer unexpectedly finds itself at the vanguard of style—a hip and fashionable icon of pop culture."
Seems to me the writer is more interested in demonstrating his command of the English language than writing a motorcycle article. I'll pass on this one. Ed

Kind of sounds like Vogue for the fashion conscious motorcyclist.

The serendipitous lines of the bi-wheeled motivator set it akin to a racing Cheetah in the same way a bowlning ball don't. :S
It straddles the fine line between usefulness and a spork. :huh:
The ladies will appreciate it's ease of getting off and will use it frequently. :blink: :ohmy: :whistle:
Once into a corner it will frantically look for a quick way out...with or without you. :pinch:
The obvious best tire for this machine is made of pre-chewed Bubble Yum and even then it will not be stickey enough. :ohmy:
