I wanted to send you all greetings from this side of the world. I've attached a pic of my recently acquired ZX-12R, and owning it has been haunting me for a while now. Unfortunately, the weather here has not given me too much riding time, and those pleasures will have to be postponed until next summer.
I am planning to do a few mods to my black-and-gold beauty, but so far I can't find too many parts here in Poland. Our bike market has been experiencing a big growth in the last few years, but bike mods have not quite yet become "the thing" over here. We'll get to it!
I love your magazine, and I'm sure it will give me lots of inspiration for my project. I wish you empty roads and all green lights. And, of course, many more SSB issues!

It looks like you've managed to score some slick riding gear over there. Nice work. Now get a full system,Power Commander and some flushmounts for that bad boy and you'll probably become a local celebrity.
Clone Drone Syndrome
I've followed your mag for quite some time and for the most part love it-except for one thing. Is there anyone out there that is tired of seeing nothing but Gixxers and 'Busas? I respect that they're bad bikes, but what fun would the world be if everyone drove the same car?
I hope that someone will soon break the trend and show something in this magazine a little different. I'd send you pictures of my ZX, but unfortunately Miss Cell Phone Lady didn't see me before I could even get the temp tags off of it.

We've made that same battle cry, and people are finally starting to listen. As you'll notice from the diverse group of bikes in this issue, there are, in fact, others like you.
In The Hot Seat
Like any avid reader, I have a solid collection of "library material" in the throne room. To my surprise, I walked in and found my two-year-old daughter reading from the collection. Hope you found this as humorous as I did.
Jordan has always liked bikes, and she loves to come out to the shop and help me work on our land-speed bike. Thanks for a great magazine and keep up the excellent work.

If ever there was proof thatSSB appeals to the masses... Forget about Curious George and make way for turbo and nitrous. We just hope this wasn't one of those staged pics to get your kid in the mag.
Tears Of A Clown
I like your magazine, but there are too many custom bikes featured, and I really don't care for them. How about featuring the bikes that stunters ride? Show their hardware and their lifestyle. Maybe we need a real stunter magazine.

Most of the stuntbikes we've seen aren't suitable to even ride, much less look at. Check out page 106 for one that made it, though.
