This bloke had to feel silly in this gear!
Likely the most common question leveled at us magazine makers is what’s the toughest part of our job. Well, keeping the damn enterprise solvent in this day and age of Internet-digital media is always a challenge. But the regular installments of our humor page, known to readers as the Stylin’ Section, seems to prove a tough job issue after issue. Humor, after all, is highly subjective and locating – and then striking- the collective funny bones of thousands of readers each and every issue is not a task for the faint-of-heart. Raised on a steady diet of irreverent humor from “National Lampoon” and “Mad” magazines and huge fans of stand-up comedy, our staff manages to share a few creative laughs in a magazine genre that’s not been renowned over the years for its sense of humor. To be honest, I’ve always dug the wacky, bad-boy British sporbike magazines like “Superbike” and “Performance Bike” monthlies where the contributors are damn sure to include the latest on-bike tech info with a wry sense of mischief that never fails to put a smile on my face. This issue- our December/January offering- tackles the, ahem, “history” of motorbike crash helmets with some gut-busting images and copy.
