Wanted: test pilot who can read and write

[cave weta]

The 2013 bikes are in stock now and I would like someone other than myself to write up an objective view of the latest offerings.

My thoughts were that I could ask Carver or Choppa but both are over 6 foot and these bikes are a small frame size- similar to CRF230. or KTM125SX.

so - If you have had experience writing for publication and you would like a day on some epic tracks in the bush- Oh and you can ride a dirt bike and you are about 5 foot 8, reply here and tell me why you would be good for the job.

I would like to see a woman's perspective too, so don't be shy, we could do a his n hers test?

I qualify two out of three... Just a wee matter of a spine held together with Titanium. :no:

[Maha]

Carver use to do bike reviews on here, very very good bike reviews if I recall correctly.
Contrary to unfounded popular belief, he does know a thing or two, and his intelligence in such matters showed through via the videos he posted.
He'd would worth contacting Stu.

You talked to Lulu? on here, she writes for bike trader I think and can ride off road. Me, I can't ride or write to save myself but if you need anything crashed, I'm your man. :laugh:

Oh.. I'm going to hide this thread from the G/F even though we need a wee break.

Lula is about 8 months preggers ATM and I bet she would have something in her contract with ACP about promoting 'Chinese Shit' :laugh:

Supposed to be a bike for family fun isn't it?


Could be an interesting suspension write up! :eek:

[cheese]

I'm the correct hieght, but writing and riding is pretty on par with each other. Average as. LOL!

Keen to come have a play if you're offering. I've got a helmet cam that we could use to make some footage of the bike in action?? Not too far away now as I live in Papamoa.

ummm you're a bit quicker than 'average', and you keep correcting Barty on punctuation, so I think you're a likely candidate?

[Mom]

I am a girl, and I have some writting experience, but my feet wont reach the ground :pinch:

That never used to worry me on the dirt, but alas I am old...

[Akzle]

i can read a write good engrish.
and ride motorbikes too.

how much are you paying?

[cheese]

Ha ha ha ha cheers Evan.

[cave weta]

Cheese has given me an idea.....
I put on a ride day and everyone gets to ride it and give me their thoughts - plus we all have a good play on our own bikes and It just costs gas money. next Sunday 16th Dec - who is in? - room for about 15 riders

[SMOKEU]

I'm an expert at crashing and I can write reasonably well. I managed to bin a gixxer without even moving. Do I qualify?

So faaaar away!
gotta get this done super soon

[ducatilover]

Where abouts are you based mate?

I know of someone who'd run it on a farm, that'd be interesting

I'd be happy to ride it on a ride day and give you some feed back. I wrote some words about something once and I can crash fucking well

[ding322]

I would be keen to give u a hand... the only draw back is might be too tall, but my spelling is good.

Guessing the test area is out the back of waihi??

Im a definite maybe. I could do a back to back compared to my old XR. Where are you thinking?

Love too, but next weekend is the Boundary Buster with Offlimits so I'm going to be bouncing around in the tussock in scenic Waiourou... bring it to Riverhead this sunday and offer free rides, the waitemata guys will all be keen!
Great idea tho but your timing might be better if you can wait until January?

Would love to, but there are too many X'mas and wedding anniversary obligations on that weekend. I'm keen for the next one.

OK what about THIS SUNDAY?

[nzspokes]

I cant this weekend. My boys b/day. And my girls back in hospital so all bets are off.

Riverhead man, Riverhead!!

[duckonin]

Buggar me Stu, even in times of high unemployment no person wants a job. :laugh:

[cave weta]

Arrrrgh!- every post you make - every email I get changes things. Ive just had the world famous and fabulously respected Ian Kieth email me about having a test ride.

Because he and his ego are so fabulously amazing, I simply have to meet the guy!- Im going to take the bikes to the Whangamata Dirt Bikers' Parakawai Valley trail ride which is just 30 km away. and meet this stalwart of the motorcycle industry.
But rest assured I will be out and about every weekend at rides over the next two months so dont be shy - come and have a fang on the new 2013 Forza 230f-PRO.

[cheese]

I'll come if the 16th is still on.

[BoristheBiter]

Me and the other half can come down on Sunday and would be more than happy to talk up the bikes.
And as she is on a crf230 at the mo it would be a great comparison.
Our writing isn't the best but i'm sure we could come up with something legible.

We were only going to Woodhill this weekend anyway but that sounds way better
And as has been mentioned boundary buster next weekend.


Ooooo here's a thought, team forza on the BB. now that would be a great right up. epic trails to be had and my head camera lasts all day.

Now you are talking!- Im going here on Saturday http://www.silverbullet.co.nz/event.php?id=9965
If you can make it it is a great ride.

We can't do Saturday as other things are planned but Sunday is a goer.

Where, and what time?

PM sent....

[Paul in NZ]

I'd do it but I write better than I ride so all that would happen is you would get a fabulous description of the accident written from my hospital bed while high on pain killers and ultimately I would blame the bike and sue you...

Now - where do i sign up.....

[SPQR]

Bring 'em to the Waitemata rides. There's be more than enough people willing to give it a go. Some of them may even be literate. Maybe.

I would. Hehe. Mind you, also about 6 inches under 5'8 in boots... And very very slow... So a slow tiny female perspective?
