[QUOTE="squeezer, post: 955265, member: 2381"] That Sport-Touring Illustrated cover is hysterical. I agree with those saying Rider was the closest thing we had to a sport-touring rag. They even had a (semi?) regular section labeled sport-touring. I still like them because they tend to focus on real world riding rather than top speed in the quarter mile or dyno stats. Their focus became a bit broader a year or so ago, though, when the publisher merged them with a cruiser magazine owned by the same company. From my point of view, there is now less content that interests me so I'm not renewing. The publisher's point of view, obviously, is that the economy couldn't support even the cruiser niche and, given that there's more of them than us, it doesn't appear to be in anyone's interest to publish a paper outlet directed our way. If there was one, I'd probably buy it, but I don't see it as a big problem since there's so much info available on-line for free. Oh, and FWIW: Market research from 2007 estimated that over half a million households in the U.S. had ferrets as pets. [/QUOTE]
