I have subscribed to Dirt Rider for 18 years now and I am increasingly disheartened by your responses in Letter Rip. I have noticed this to be trend in this section of your magazine for some time now. You continually belittle and make fun of people and their questions. I don't see why this is necessary. Other magazine's I read and their editors don't have the nasty mean spirited responses. Rick Pewe at Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road never has to respond to the sometimes stupid questions like you do. Neither does Roy Huntington of American Handgunner. Maybe it's just the dirt bike industry with the "I'm a bigger, better bad ass than you!" attitude that so many have. I have a feeling you will be making fun of this letter too with a holier than thou attitude. Oh well. Otherwise Dirt Rider is the best motorcycle magazine there is.
Kyle, I'm sorry. But you have to admit, sometimes it is funny, right?- Jimmy Lewis
