Dan Thornton | October 3, 2008
There’s a job going on www.motorcyclenews.com for someone who combines editorial skills with a love of motorcycles. (Disclosure: Not only do I work for Bauer Media, MCN’s owners, but I worked on www.motorcyclenews.com for 7 years, and now do Community Marketing for it, amongst other titles). And I can vouch for the fact I miss working more closely with the team, and being on the the biggest motorcycling title around. And having the chance to ride test bikes, obviously!
