my feedback
got my xBhp Dec Magazine today!
- 2012 Calendar looks stunning. Request on behalf of all xBhpians for next issue: a xBhp keychain for our rides
and a xBhp sticker (most wanted) - the xBhp logo on cover is lovely in red
- The 1st Anniversary team ride caught my attention with those comic book style narrations(esp. in page 105).It makes the trip lively-kudos to that xBhp team member who gave this idea!
- All 3 Hard torque are good. Liked Sunil Gupta's 'The Cursed nation' and the thought 'Will I survive riding motorcycles in this country?' for sure is common among all riders. This tells why touring/riding is not encouraged by most families. (A small error: in contents page, Page No.106 is mentioned incorrectly for this HT. Should be Pg.116)
- Foreign Trips are accompanied with superb photos and minimal texting. Makes a great read. Will you make some 10-15 photos printed in magazine downloadable from xBhp site so that we can keep them as wallpapers?
- the DIY section looks dull with heavy graphic in background. A brighter one will be appreciated!
- highlight to me in this issue: 10 most common mistakes article. Hats off to OF sir. If possible, summarize the concepts at the end of each mistake or give it as quotes alongside so that we can recall easily.
- New sections that can be added:
- a last page full of 'lighter side' of your photographs so that we can 'sign off' in a happy mood

- a multiple choice Q & A where we can test our bike gyaan/concepts with answers/grading to show where we stand
- a last page full of 'lighter side' of your photographs so that we can 'sign off' in a happy mood
Note to circulation team: In my place (Erode,Tamilnadu) only a small shop stocks xBhp magazine. All larger shopping centres etc., display the copy only by month end. I am sure if the magazine is available on time, it will sell 3-4 times more copies.Grip. Twist. Ride-with Menacingly FAST Apache 180 ABS!
TVS Apache 180 ABS (Sep 2011-)
Yamaha Libero LX (Feb 2006-Sep 2011) sold

Just called up Dial a Book for xbhp magazine, they are saying they have the copies of new magazine but they are short of stickers and dont known when they will receive the stickers. So i cancelled the booking with them now i have to wait till i get the magazine at book stall.Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

Got my copy on Sat. Great Issue & also I do have couple of feedback as well:
-first of all superb editorial
-i guess bike & car comparision part-II, not much interesting
-talks more about superbikes, which is yet to established their mass market in india, but ofcourse valueable in terms of niche market
-should talk more of desi bikes & should share the ride stories within india. Because people in india still needs to bend towards superbiking and mass consumers still prefer desi bikes to be owned for various reasons
-ducati, BMW bike reviews were great. Good to see in magazines but still big question in terms of reality.
Apart from everything, I always love following xbhp online as well as offline.

Just got my copy of mag 2hrs back , i have'nt finished it yet but a big thumbs up...! from my side . " 10 most common mistake...." wala topic was fantastic and even after riding for past 3 years i found myself doing these common mistakes very often . I guess learning never ends ..!
and also Trip logs are awesome coupled with Superb pics . anyways am not big fan of reading those Lenthy triplogs w/o pics
. .
Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

I have been asking people to buy this issue and even been couriering them, since my trip got published. I have sold many a copy countrywide
Here is some feedback from non-bikers
- My Mom - "I am really happy to see them stressing on safety and riding etiquette. I wish all these youngsters on bikes get to read this mag. The roads will be so much safer. And I would be able to ride my scooter again!"
- Friend, Male, 0 bhp addict - "Very tempting. I want to ride through all those scenic places. It would have been nicer if their was an online version, I wouldn't have to go to a railway station to buy a copy"
- Friend, Female, 0 bhp traveller - "Loved the pics, the attitude and the spirit. Reminds me of my bike trip to the alps."
- My sister - "Oh I just love YOUR magazine." My mag
Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!
