Thanks for the offer. So what makes a letter a "best one" in your opinion?

I like the way the magazine is moving in the last few issues. Like all motorcycles, well almost all, and appreciate you getting back to the motorcycle cruiser and touring approach without all those crazy customs. Thanks.

While I enjoy the new theme of the magazine, I originally suscribed to Roadbike for the metric content that really wasn't to be found elsewhere. It seems that every other magazine covers domestic models so I hope that Roadbike can maintain some bias towards the metrics while still covering all cruisers.

Me too, Streaker. Me too.

I have to agree. The "All Metric" is what appealed to me too. The H-D needs to go away. I like the fact that you have gotten away from the one off customs. Nothing wrong with featuring the regular guy that did all his own work to make his bike his.

I think the "Motorcycle Cruising" subtitle is a bit of a misnomer. RB has a broader base than just cruisers; and includes tourers, adventure bikes, and sport-touring bikes. Even an occasional trike to spice up the menu

Just look at the March/April issue...
Victory Cross Country and Cross Roads (touring cruisers)
Custom Vmax (custom muscle bike)
Honda NT700 (sport-tourer)
BMW F650 GS (adventure bike)

And last issue spanned tastes as diverse as Kawasaki Councours, HD Sportster to Crossbow trike.

That is a virtual smorgasbord of riding flavors. I say keep the buffet coming. But you may want to think about the title of the resturant
