compound issues. the designer's computer shat itself just as we were gearing up for production, he was backed up on tape, but it still takes a while to restore - so we missed our 'slot' at the printer - would have made it a few days late - but then the printer's binding machine broke down after 100 copies and we missed the next slot at the distribution house. sorry, shit happens.

new format has come up pretty well - still a few things to improve, but reaction is good.

Awsome it was a bloody good read - was amused with the amount of 'big' and 'dave' used in the same sentence though :lol:

Also impressed with the V-rod wheelie!

Well, we could have just slapped an extra dollar on the price and continued on with the old format. What you are getting is a perfect bound A4 glossy paper mag that we think is well worth the extra cost. It works out at an extra $10 a year if you are a subscriber or $12 if you buy off the shelf, it's not much, is it?

Fantastic justification, you don't mind displaying a spreadsheet of costs to subscribers vesus profit then.......... :msn-wink: Just jokes!

Personally I would just back you up with the fact that everyone has to make a dime and you have re-formatted the mag so its win win all round. Hell if Big Dave knocks his costs up for those awesome pics of his - the mag price will rocket!! Great mag, keep it up.........perhaps a few high class trashy girlie pics........ :devil2:

Why thank you - you know I don't think I'm even in the same league as local lens man Geoff Osborne or Aussie supremo Lou Martin - theirs is the work I aspire to - but I'm better lookin' than both of them. :msn-wink:

Re the girly pics, I'm keen, but the co-pilot, who produces some fantastic action shots while hanging off the bike and subsequently scans my copy for her work - would cut my nuts off.

You'll have to take that one to the Ed.

Yep got it..... Like the new mag... Not enough adventure riding articles in it tho.... But then when I was a sportsbike rider I would have said it had too much dirt related articles.... And when I discovered off road/ motocross I couldn't believe the amount of "road shit" in it..... You think I can be pleased at all??? :D

NOW I'm worried.

Can you postpone for a week or sumfing? Asuming I can get a bike would so enjoy a dirty bash. My mate Col has just bought a 640 Adventure and would be keen as too. He'd probably lend me his DR250, but fark riding that very far on tar getting there.
