Well, I just received the Nov issue of DR and there's no JR column this month.  There is a small mention of this and it said our letters will tell DR to bring it back (or not).  Writing letters can be time consuming so I'm taking the easier way out and posting my opinion here.

I like reading JR.  He has an insider's perspective that offers a different slant on our sport, however,  I only read the JR column after I've read the bike shootouts, gear reviews, the pages of The Dirty Part, etc.  If I don't get around to reading JR, that's ok.

If there's a choice between having enough time to write JR and doing reviews of the bikes, that's a no-brainer.  Maybe have someone else sub for JL if he's tied up elsewhere.  Once in a while you could have Karel's Korner, Jesse's Jive, Pete's Postings, Chris' Cranium, etc.  Just my two cents.  

(ps - GREAT job on the AS-IS article)

I like it...it's one of the first things I read...it always offers something to think about...plus it give the magazine a more personal touch knowing kind of how/where the editor stands...

final vote, KEEP IT!

there was no Jimmy Rigged article this month....

they are asking the readers to write to them as to whether or not we want it back.

I can't remember the last time I actually read the whole mag, it's been a few years. But when I do get the mag I skim through it and read the things I want to read, and I have read Jimmy Rigged a few times. Just as Court said, it shows us where the editor stands and I find that some pretty interesting things are said in Jimmy Rigged.      


KEEP IT!

I say ditch Jimmy Rigged and put Karels' Koulumn in instead. I cant stomach too many bald, ol' guy storys and I always read it too, but ..........C'mon lets see a change and if it don't fly then give er another go. Am I right or just too opinionated right now????? I like hairs' idea better.

Yeah, I too kind of like the idea of rotating it from Jimmy Rigged to Karel's Korner, to Pete's Postings, etc. That would be interesting. If that's not possible then I say keep JR.
