[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 635547, member: 16119"] Ivan.. always the diplomat :) Good point about where they are getting their "internet vibe" ... maybe they need to dig a little deeper before bunching us all in one group? What got me going was the latest TWMX.. about Langston taking heat on the web for moving back down to the 125's when he heard Stewart was out. "The only heat he took was by Internet Bandits" Who are these "Internet Bandits" ? Fans that have a means to communicate their feelings? Surely there is nothing worse than a fan with internet access, lol. The mags want to tell us what we should think... they are the only ones that have a right to bash a rider? If the writer doesn't agree with what he reads on the web it's like "Well, that opinion came from the web, not real people". They said (close quote) that "they were proved wrong when he won the second moto at Glen Helen". Proved wrong? The complaints I read were that he was going for what he thinks is an easy title. Why would anyone be proved wrong when he won a moto? Take away the fans, their opinions and discussions (rather spoken or written), take away any/all controversy and there's not much left. It's all good as long as no one complains about anything? Because these opinions are expressed over copper they are less valid? It's the mentality of the mags regarding the web that bothers me. Nothing on the web can be true, only the stuff we write from our SoCal offices matters. How dare the common fan think he actually knows anything or form an opinion without the blessing of Roland? "OMG! What if we are no longer considered the keepers of the knowledge.. keepers of the pulse?" What if a bunch of truly knowledgeable folks from the industry got together and made a web site? What if they told it like it is, rather than just spouting "this is cool" ? or: "your 1 year old bike is crap! You need the new improved plastic the new model has" Your < pick a color > bike is okay, but you can't win without a blue one. "Here are our perfect MXA approved jetting specs. Of course these only apply to SoCal. If you aren't in SoCal, you shouldn't be riding so it doesn't really matter". "Oh well, we still have better pictures". :laugh: [/QUOTE]
