RE: Ugly Mugs
Oh the horror ... that's vulgar.
Thanks for sharing your mugs, so I can know who I need to be pissed at or showcase in a potential blog.

RE: Big Bore Review....reviewed
Hey guys this is Jerrod Kelley, freelance writer and former editor of ATVSport. I know Tom has addressed this topic, but I want to thank you for digging so deep into the editorial content of a magazine I contribute to. I just read this post thanks to Mr. Rhodig's link on ATVMagblog.
I helped with the shootout testing. We rode everything for these comparo stories (often with the Manufacturers) and contrary to what some have said, advertising has nothing to do with it - never has. You want further proof, see John Pellan's interview with former ATV Mag/ATV Sport managing editor Chris Vogtman, who's now with KTM. He shoots down your conspiracy theory as do I.
Chris Vogtman - "I don’t miss people constantly saying the shootouts I took part in at ATV Sport and ATV Magazine were brand slanted and advertising biased. I can’t speak for the other magazines, but the editorial staff at Affinity Group always put out and continues to put out unbiased articles with sound data backing their results. Testing machines and anointing a shootout winner was always a difficult task. No matter what, a reader with heavy brand loyalties would get offended. And, now that I’m on the other side, I can’t say I blame them (Laughing). But, I felt we always did it the right way at Affinity Group, and I have seen firsthand that they continue on that tradition when KTM is invited to their shootouts." -Source- ATVscene
