You know, you could be right about that Reggie.

That;s one reason I quit subscribing to Cycle World mag. Not only was
the rag 3/4 advertisments that I was being forst to buy, and the
sadvertisers were being forsed to pay for, But it seemed to me that
every other edition was some review for Ducatti motorcycles. My
Lands! How many reviews could they do????

I got tired of it. BTW, Ducatti? (italian) CW mag is also owned by
Filapacchi (italian) Publishing....


makes you wonder.
