now... where is my copy with that poster

@Sunny bhai.. You have a PM

Looking forward to picking up the anniversary issue. Will be interested in seeing if you guys have managed to take care of the small niggling issues which seem to find a way of creeping into each issue that prevent the magazine from being elevated to the next level.

very true !

Looking forward to my copy. Managed to re-subscribe at the last minute

I booked my subscription on 25th sep,when should i expect the delivery of anniversary issue ?

My subscription reff # is xbhp_999

I wanted to know if you will be sending the anniversary issue too

Hi People, I think we are the only magazine who has a forum open for discussion hence please use this section wisely. I think there are way too many small queries etc inundating the team.

Just got the first rush copies of the xBhp magazine's anniversary issue! My fingers are paining after turning the 250 pages, my eyes are hurting with the stunning content inside, my body is aching after lifting the 'heavy' issue, but foremost my chest is swelling with pride for what we have achieved! Kudos again to the xBhp team - Sandeep Goswami, Abhinai Srivastava, Sunil Gupta, Noor Patni, Himanshu Gupta, Vijender Singh, Praveer Kochhar. Not to forget the awesome content from Mg XBhp and others in the mag! And on did I forget the Jack & Jones India poster! Or the Castrol Biking 's Ultimate Touring! And what about the 13000 kms in US! And what..., never mind, pick it for yourself from your newsstand, airport, railway station (yes we will now be available at railway stations in Mumbai as well), Cash o n Delivery or Om Book shops or airports. Damn only if Soichiro Honda, Genichi Kawakami and the likes had the xBhp magazine back in those days....

Is the poster included of the R15 V2.0

Kudos!!

Congratulations xBHP Team, on completing a year of the magazine. You have done wonderful work in the last one year and I am sanguine that you will do better in the months to come. Yours is one magazine that I look forward to read in my remote outpost at the border, even if I get the issue almost a month late. Just can't wait to get my hands on the latest anniversary issue. My best wishes to you for your future endeavours!!

Congratulations

Congratulations!

I just finished reading the anniversary issue. First and foremost I must congratulate the team. This magazine is visibly the hard work and perseverance of a few individuals. Kudos to all of you!

Some things I liked-
- Great photos as always. Excellent content, true to its word - 250 pages of timeless content, no bullshit.
- HT of Old Fox, 'DIY', very well written sir, you are the best wordsmith in the xBhp team.
- Amazingly put down logs of the two rides in the US of A.
- Nice to see a few words and pics given to our four wheeled brothers as well. Gives the magazine that little more something.
- An extremely comprehensive guide to touring, this in itself makes this issue timeless! Thanks OF
- An inspirational and mind boggling ride by Vaibhav Sabharwal. Congrats bro.
- After reading the Delhi-Leh marathon I flip to something even greater, bigger, better. Hats off to those four men who dreamed big and converted it into reality. We are mere children in their presence.
- Nice coverage and interviews with Andrew and Jean, Biker of the year awards.
- Gourab Das has really shown what Biking spirit is made off by travelling the less known paths. Yes I hope to ride in Andhra after reading your travelogue MG.
- Very inspiring interviews and journeys of Col. Saleem. Not just for biking, but also for doing his bit for the environment.
- I love seeing the pics of the xBhp G2Gs at the end of the magazine.

The magazine is good, but it needs to get better. Its the small details which make something good into something excellent. The things which I found not so pleasing-

- Way too many typos and grammatical errors, especially in the first half of the magazine. This needs to be curtailed at the earliest.
- Many places the 'black' text could not be read because of a dark or black background in the pics.
- On page 14 - Text: Sandeep Gajjar (Old Fox) - AFAIK these are two different people and its not good to see the magazine itself getting confused on who's who.
- Page 21 - @ xBhp core team - Please smile when someone is taking a pic of you guys. Most of you look like you all are being shot with a shotgun and not with a camera
- Page 27 - A smily has been used in the text. That's not proper. A magazine of this quality should not have smilies.
- The tete-a-tete on Page 48-49 could have done with better questions. The opportunity was there, but the questions were a waste.
- Page 52- Nice rant in the HT, but sadly the language was not upto the mark. Too many grammatical errors in one article.
- In the R15 review the riders in the pics were not wearing knee guards and were wearing just sneakers, sad considering that xBhp is always spreading awareness about rider safety.
- A large chunk of the Guide to touring has already been printed in a previous issue. Can't remember which one though. Its not nice to see content being repeated in such a short span.
- The pasting of the mag is not good. Pages get loose within a few reads.

I know I am nit-picking. The magazine as a whole has grown, but its the crossing of the t's and dotting of the i's, the finishing touches, that has to be worked upon, to be THE BEST in the business.

Once again my heartiest congratulations to a fantastic team.

@Monk - Thats a superb review and it seems you have already gone through the whole magazine. And special thanks for liking my article
