  1. Thank you for sharing. Also, I was giving that drone the finger every time it flew over me. I thought it was from the drunk, loud assed toy haulers behind us. I apologize if I ruined any video...

  2. You've hit the nail on the head. I've seen far to often the same exact things both you a Ryan mentioned. That's the main reason why I started my blog. The good thing about having a full time job that's not related to motorcycling is I can tell the consumer what I actually like or don't like about the product and not worry if they (The brand) ever speak to me again. Thankfully a large percentage of the gear I've written about has been from companies that do the homework first.

  3. This insightful video by Ryan of FortNine was just pointed out to me by @GeoMoto (on FB because he loves Mark Zuckerberg more than me) and it's the sad truth. But I celebrate this because this is what makes a forum like XLADV stand out; it's that we have "dirt cred" and are not the paid press. There's also quite a bit of change afoot as the OEMs are seeing the slow death spiral of print and online media and beginning to reach out more to the grass roots online influencers (who still have credibility). That's not to say there isn't still a lot of good moto journalism out there. There most certainly is. Honda's been VERY helpful with loaning press bikes but that's it. BETA reached out to offer me a rally bike for Baja Rally but then reneged. Ural reached out and offered a press bike then when I said "sure" they couldn't be bothered to respond. KTM, BMW, Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati (met their CEO; fantastic guy) still haven't offered anything. But give it time
