This almost  belongs in the In Memoriam thread
I lost interest in the magazine about the time they published the best way to make espresso a months back.

I am still subscribed, because I have been for decades, but I don't do much more than skim through it anymore. My latest issue arrived late last week and I haven't even opened it yet. Sadly, after 30 years + I will not be renewing.

It is more a lifestyle magazine than a motorcycle rag anymore.

I gave up on motorcycle magazines years ago.  Much like firearms magazines... they simply rehashed the same subjects over and over.

At least they've got Kevin Cameron, if you're into the tech.
He's the only reason I go there.

Kevin is smart. I knew him before he got famous.

He used to be on this coast working as a service manager at another shop back when I worked in the Boston area in moto shops. He new everything about Kawasaki triples, and most stuff in general.
