Arrogant but not entirely unfounded. A lot of moto magazines rely heavily on manufacturer advertisements and as a result, reviewers were always hesitant to tear into a bike. A lot of reviews just repeated specs, going over minute technical differences between models instead of talking about how it is to ride the bike.…
You might not have liked his style, but he gave us something badly needed. The kind of freedom Jalopnik offers is just not very common in motorcycle media, and he was building something pretty special here because of that. Most motorcycle journalism until pretty recently did suck. It’s gotten better lately but…
And then they went and banned anyone who complained about how Sean was treated from commenting: a position below being grey’d.
No, he was fired. Here’s his post on the matter:
Sean made it pretty clear, more than once, that it was Gawker’s decision to let him go.
Oh, good idea! Let me just get a job at Jalopnik and start doing that. Or they could have just not fired Sean Macdonald and kept a good moto journalist on staff. Because Lanesplitter right now is shit. It has been since Sean stopped working here.
Bingo. If you live in the sticks, you’ll see dipshits like this everywhere. They drive 15-20 under the speed limit and think they have the right to play traffic cop. Then when you try to pass, they speed up and try to prevent you from passing.
Nonsense. There was no oncoming traffic for at least hundreds of yards, and he was passing with a wide berth.
But breaking the law is not harmless! It’s automatically immoral and unsafe regardless of the circumstances!
Harmlessly passing someone in a no passing zone isn’t being an “asshole” . Trying to murder two people is.
That’s a quality Dad move right there. Might have to remember that one.
That somehow a friggin’ snake got in my car. I’m petrified of snakes.
what makes you think that college football and sanity correlate?
hehe try a vmax - ridiculous acceleration, but filling up after ~80ish miles lol
Now playing
I don’t think as a country we try very hard to be supportive of our veterans. I think as a country we like to try very hard to “pretend” to support them. Sort of like profusely thanking a waiter while at the same time screwing them over on the gratuity. Veterans make up a substantial part of the homeless population…
b-b-but property values....
Raise your hand if you are sick of these driveway parking controversy stories.
I always feel sad for the Fiero. Was a gimped car out of the gate, then finally in the last year it got proper attention (suspension in particular) and then got a bullet to the head when it turned out to be a sweet little machine.
