If we were a prepubescent teen we’d be
telling you how much we hate you, taking extraordinary long showers and
demanding the latest I-Pod for our birthday.
But we’re not a teenager,
we’re an internet magazine
and one that has been around for an unfathomable 14 years and still
going strong!
Yes, June 1st is CMG’s 14th birthday and we’re declaring
it a national holiday – so long as you’re going for a ride while skiving
off work today.
Don’t worry, if your boss rumbles you, just get them to email us at fuckyouitscmgsbirthday@cmgonline.com and
we’ll set ’em straight about Canada’s great statutory holiday laws.
Have
a good one everyone!
Cheers, Editor ‘Arris
P.S. Okay,
we’ll take an I-Pod if you insist you bastard. Off to the shower, back in three hours …
Mazel Tov, and thanks for all the fish.
14 years ? Big deal. I have underware older than that.
I have five complete sets but sadly I don’t think they’re worth too much except to the true CMG enthusiast. Even then that may only be about $10 …
I have a complete set of the print versions. Does this mean they are worth more ?
I wasn’t aware that there was a hall of fame … for lunatics :zzz
I was introduced to Rob by a mutual friend of a friend in a pub (where else) in September 1999. I had just gotten my beginner licence, whatever it was called. CMG has been a part of my motorcycling life since I began. I’m pleased to see CMG’s success and longevity.
Impressive how much influence CMG (Rob) has had on the Canadian motojournalism scene. How many more years until he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame? Nicely done Rob and the rest of the crew.
That’s Terrific!
CMG is my comfort food of the internet….
Congrats to all the mad bastards who run this site…
HAPPY FRICKEN BIRTHDAY!!!!
14, glad to hear it…
Hope’n the next 14 is just as fun, or better….
Now if you’d only told me where to tell my boss to send the e-mail sooner…
Havin a cold one for you now!
Thanks, and Keep up the good work!!!
Here’s to another 14 years of “alternate” m/c journalism and commentary.

I rather enjoy the fact that I share my birthday with such a fine and foten amusing publication. Congratulations to both of us – and may we both continue for many more years.
Im glad to have CMG as a part of my daily intake of Motorbikes! Happy 14th and many -many more years of zany insanity.
I’m grateful to be a part of it all, but you get a tip of the cap, Rob. You’ve poured something special into this effort.
I never thought I would be able to enjoy an online magazine this much.
You are a treasure to we motorbiking types.
Congratulations and THANKS!
Lord Percival
Indeed a momentous occassion.
Rob gave me my start in the motorcycle journalism biz with CMG’s ancestral print version – the Ontario Motorcycle Guide.
So blame him.
And you are celebrating by trashing one of your advertisers? HD ad How did you last this long?? wink
What Costa said. 14 years? Can’t be …
Happy Birthday CMG! I’m certainly glad to be part of the madness.
