Still not got mine and I'm subscribed. No doubt there will be copies in the dealers. I'm not bothered about a patch. A sticker for the bike would be better for me. As others have said,the mag is free. It's amazing how much negative comment there is now about McGregor/Boorman on lots of websites (especially adventure sites). Have a look at Nick Sanders latest project. 55000 miles in 100 days. He must be mellowing in middle age as he used to do 1000 miles a day !

If you can't find a copy, give me a shout - I passed mine on to my son, but I don't imagine he'll want to keep it and I could probably send it on to you (subject to it not having been chucked out)! You could have the patch as well!

The McGregor/Bore Man bad press is richly deserved, IMO - although I would have said far less so in McGregor's case until that pathetic scent ad showed up!

(Apologies if my Grumpy Old Biker Fart side is showing...!! )

Went to my dealer (Woods) on Sunday.Had a test ride on the 1050 Speed Triple and got the magazine so a successful day.Pity it always seems to rain whenever I arrange a test ride but enjoyed the bike.On the ride home I was still happy with my Speed Triple which was a relief.The new model is an evolution of the species and is certainly a great bike but the 955 is also a good'un.Especially with a power commander,carbon can and 17T sprocket....

John,

You're kidding no one only yourself - you know you want that 2008 Speed Triple

Take a ride up to Robinsons and view their Orange example, complete with Arrows pipes and additional orangey bits - very tasty
