Sean got fired? What the deuce?!?! I loved reading his articles, and I’m not even into motorcycles.

Well shit. That sucks.

Bad timing for him to buy a new car.

forget that, lanesplitter is going to become such a piece of crap hack blog now... ‘why buy a KLR650 when you can get this used H2 for the same price”

This is going to end so badly.

Why?

I’m sure he’ll find a job writing.

Wasn’t LS called 2 Wheels Bad at one point a few years ago? Or something similar prior to Sean’s general bike positive era?

bob and john > sn4cktimes
04/18/2016 at 22:48

nope, it was always lanesplitter.

the 2 wheels bad tag was ppl on oppo making fun/hating on bikes

04/18/2016 at 22:49

because Gawker is a moron?

and then they give the reigns to friggen tavarish of all ppl...

Biggus Dickus (RevsBro) > bob and john

Tavarish’s articles used to be good when the cars were practical/realistic. They are just click bait now

“Why buy a new CBR300R when you can buy this 10 year old GSX-R1000 instead”?

Oh lord, he is going to get so many fucking ppl killed...

Ahh. Good to know.

Biggus Dickus (RevsBro) > bob and john

GSX-R1000 nah, try a Busa bro.

I doubt Tavarish is “taking over” Lane Splitter.

I’m thinking something must’ve happened. No parting words from Sean or “Nice job Sean” post from PG like with Tyler leaving Foxtrot Alpha, just silence since Thursday.

I didn’t even like bikes but his articles were at least interesting. And they made me appreciate bikes even though I’d probably never ride.

bob and john > shop-teacher
04/18/2016 at 23:15

he had no idea...plus, sean MADE LS the biggest most read bike blog, there was literally no reason to fire him other then incompeteance from gawker.

idiots

Yep, Hell for Leather/Rideapart went to shit because of staff changes and so will LaneSpliter. You just can’t keep a good bike blog running, they are cursed.

shop-teacher > bob and john
04/18/2016 at 23:22

I didn't realize LS was such a rousing success, but it makes sense to me, because it was REALLY good. Definitely big mistake gawker.

Nah, he’s not taking over anything, by his own words.

Or... try a busa, bro?

You know, whatever makes you happy, I’m not gonna judge.

I was wondering what’s been going on... Seems it’s just been lazy YouTube video posts for a couple of weeks at LS.. Even the ducati enduro review was slack... All the journalists got access to the bike at the same time- but Sean’s review of it came out a month (at least) after all the other reviews were already old news....

I don’t know what happened.. And Sean seems like a good guy, but LS hasn’t been doing much for content in the past several weeks... Bummer.

That story was definatly worth a click, but the overly-snarky tone didn’t belong on a bike blog.

I think that’s why I’ll miss Sean. He was pretty neutral. Probably why he isn’t around any more.

It’s the internet, proper grammar doeant’t apply here.

If it is reborn, maybe the next “editor” will have thicker skin. Both Sean and Wes didn’t like being called out, and took themselves pretty seriously. Oh well.

What the fuck!??! I loved reading Seans posts. Between that and Tyler leaving for greener pastures, I’m getting worried. WTF Gawker.

I didnt find that so much with sean...though admittingly, I didnt really read the comments on the youtube posts with ass-hat bikers.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > bob and john
04/19/2016 at 22:21

I posted about wanting a motorcycle yesterday... I also posted about the kamikaze puppy though...
