Cycle News Closes
« on: September 02, 2010, 10:15:06 AM »
Cycle News just released its very last issue.

http://www.cyclenews.com/

http://www.facebook.com/CycleNews


Quote from Cycle News: "The last issue has just been printed yesterday and it is the end of an era for sure.  However, ever since the innovations done to the 4 Stroke for motocross and the extinction of the 2 Stroke modern motorcyling is so boring that our magazines were just being perscribed by doctors for insomnia.  Just as we print our last issue we believe manufactuers should just build their last bikes."

I got a tweet yesterday that Dungey typed saying he was honored and proud to be on the final cover. That statement is very interesting though.

I thought this was a joke for a second, but damn, it's real.  I bet a statement like that is going to get a little attention.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

When I first read the OP I thought it was some kind of joke (April Fools in Sptember??)

It's very sad... is that really a quote from someone at the publication?? If so, could you please let me know the source, so I can write up an article on the main site.

Thank you!

Bad news for the entire motorcycle industry. Lots of bad news since the 4T takeover! I also heard DeCoster is going to KTM. Hopefully he'll help the 2T models.

Remind me to feed your neck into the rear sprocket of one of your Maicos next time I see you.  Preferably in fifth gear with the throttle opened to its stop.

thats a little harsh, I think delivery was the problem. What you could of said was: What they really meant in this article was "insert text here".
