But we made the image? And you can click it to expand it? Read more

Pretty sure Krogans don't sound like that in real life, either. Read more

@KaMai Ha, point for you! I just talked to some guys in Tech about all these comment issues. No promises on a timeline yet, but we're all in agreement that 1) clear who-I'm-replying-to information, 2) more detail in the top-right comments alert box, and 3) image uploads need to be fixed. Fortunately 1 and 2 aren't Read more

Yeah, I would have loved a beta period. I think at the time we'd been dinking around with it internally for over a year and we were just ready to push it out of Apache's dilated vagina whether it was fully formed or not.

We're doubling down on content and reporting. The redesign is getting nearer that amorphous target we originally set out for. I actually Read more

That's pretty much it. And I'd say we're not complete yet. Read more

Ooh, yeah. I very nearly picked up an R1150 before the 800, but this one was exactly what I wanted in an F800 and it just seemed right. Love it so far, but I've only put 1k miles on it. Read more

BMW F800GS. This will be my first multi-day ride. Excited! Read more

And of course, we never promise what we're gonna say! Read more
