The question so many of us have had about magazine car tests... and the editor didn't man up and respond "we'll do better, and not rush to print"

Click on this for full size, it's a letter from a guy stationed in Nam who was fed up with excuses from magazines about why their test results were lousy. "If better tires were available, if we'd had better weather, etc etc etc" The editor , Ray Brock, didn't man up and respond with "we rush to print the magazine and stories, instead of taking the time to get the best results for the paying subscriber"

is it any wonder Harley went under in 1969? Just compare their advertising to the magazines next consecutive pages of motorcycle ads from 1968
