December Kiwi Rider

[Big Dave]

Just went over and picked up the December edition from the pre-delivery stock.
Good read. My Sprint ST test, XB12X quick spin and new Kit articles.
(Hey - it's all about me!) - Mackay's Repsol Blade test, several trials bikes, Moroney's fiction piece Pt4 - Racing dave on a Deuce and a letter to the Ed from Lou that will have the 4wd'ers hopping.
Subscribers should get it tomorrow - on the stands later in the week.
It's a good'n.
Do you believe it's another month goooooone!

If they gave me bikes and gear to test....I'm sure I could come up with some shit. Don't know how many would want to read it though, seems like I'm invisible and nobody listens to me anyway:blink:

[Holy Roller]

Does this issue have the pix from the Grand Challenge 1000 miler? The guy was there taking photos .

[What?]

Subscribers should get it tomorrow -
Came in the post today.
You should see Lou in case you need a bigger helmet :whistle:

Nice work, though Dave. You put together quite a readable article.

No - doesn't appear so.

I hear ya.
OK - I'll tell how I got to do it in a new thread - but I have been caught a bit short with this edition hitting the letterboxes a few days early. (err than I expected)
i'm just building the mini-site for the motomail christmas specials (some cool stuff too) but we have advertised 'visit now' in KR.
I need to get that knocked together first. Gunna be an all nighter.

Good read guys.

I found the Triumph Sprint Model history pics really interesting.
Nice to see how a bike has devolped through the years.
Would like to see that done with other bike models too.

Hey Dave, I wrote up the diary of my Austria by Supermoto trip the other day, & I've got a few pics. I'm keen to knock out an article for you guys, how many words should I prune it down to?

Cheers

Our e-mail addresses are on the website (kiwirider.co.nz) and in the mag. E-mail it to the editor and it will either be put in the bin or considered. If it is then deemed suitable, it will be pruned to the correct length.

Yup, I sent an email to the editor a few days ago but haven't heard back, I wanted to find out b4 the weekend. There are quite a few decent (IMHO) pics to choose from so I'll send the story & high res pics to ya on a CD for consideration.
I'm pretty sure I can do better than Dr Robert's europe trip report from a while back as mine: A. involves actual motorbikes being ridden, B. has pictures of scenic twisty roads & C. includes no whingeing about politics :p

Cheers

We have a lot of stuff under consideration and it all comes down to available space. It is quite possible that whatever you send may not be seen in print for 4 or 5 months, if we decide to run it that is.
My tip: Don't write a novel. Keep it shortish (1000 words) and send plenty of pics as readers want to see where you went, not hear about what you had for breakfast each morning.

[Big Dave]

Use 1200 words and 6 hi res pics as a guide - talk to Ross about it first if you like.
