This gives me a sinking feeling. A journalist and motorcycle enthusiast writing about ZAMM? Is that a bit like an enviromentalist and whale-lover writing a review of Moby Dick? I'm afraid it's gonna be trivial and that it'll miss the point cause ZAMM ain't about bikes and Moby Dick isn't about any mammals larger than us. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that my fears has no merit. You could chalk it up to a prejudice against canadian journalists or something, but that's my hunch. We'll see.
