The fellow thought he was king of the camp... until the Goldwing rider pulled up, poured an espresso, then complained loudly that he only needed to stop to re-fill the tequila for the margarita machine, while popping another toastie in the micro as he was at it. :p

But I'm not too sure about the pronunciation they're using. :D

Over half the articles on MSN seem to be written for a high school creative writing class. Some think it's AI, but the info is too "wrong" for AI.

My suspicion is remote 'contract' employees that get paid piece rate. No editor to beat them with a stick and very little proofreading going on. I see so many articles where even a quick proof read would have caught most of the errors. People are being dumbed down and no one competent is around to catch the errors.

Yes, by the piece or by the word. There was an article the other day that was easily twice as long as it needed to be. And the pictures didn't match the article.

The Super Tenere was actually referred to as "underated for long distance". But I'm not too sure about the pronunciation they're using. :D 20 Underrated Motorcycles Perfect for Long-Distance Touring

After going through the list I feel the person who picked the 20 thinks "touring" is riding 20 minutes to work. 390 KTM? 310 BMW? Scout 60? Are they kidding? I would really like to see a ride report from the idiot who picked those bikes as "Touring" capable.

Yeah, I didn't even mention them. 'Cuz you're right. I think the "picker" was just picking brands they knew and not paying attention to the sizes. Oh, and the "picker" very likely has never ridden any bike.
