Vege's best work is done in Off Road racing support and in the 16 pages devoted to the Kids sport every month.

Bike Mart is supposed to be the vehicle for coverage of the Road racing scene. Have you discussed getting it into print with Todd at all?

Nah mate - that's Deano and the lovely Julie. We were worried about BD OD.
I did get to do the test.

BD, you might want to change the file name and thread title - bit confusing you going on about October with the FP showing November ;)
As the lovely Julie rides herself, she probably isn't as relaxed on the back of a bike as a pillion who doesn't ride (I know I'm not). Oh, and she doesn't like cameras much either ;)

Sarge told me that when McKay returned it after a strenuous session at Pukekohe the 'chicken strips' were well up the wall of the tyre.

Hmmm, but I wouldn't want to ride the MV to Invercargill.

I've not seen the mag in a shop yet Dave. You guys tested the 1000s recently so what model is this mentioned on the cover? I'm keen to read more reviews on the R model.
In fact here's a sweet idea for a KR bike comparison- all the MV range at once. Well maybe split the naked and sports into two stories. The Brutale 750, 910 and 910R (did I get that right?) and the 1000S, R and maybe Senna and Tamborini. Bloody hell that would be a good read, not to mention fun for the test riders.
If KR mag is keen I can put you in touch with the local Senna and Tambo owners. Better still, the Tambo owner still has his MV750SPR ! That would be a unique story that I doubt any mag worldwide has done. I should get a job as a journo.
ps- if you do this I will sue you for pinching my idea unless I get a free MV

Still a week or two away from the shelves
Keen to follow up any leads - Tambo owners etc would be better to do their own write ups - unless they want to lend us their bikes? Thought not - but I'd be happy to do some pics - where are they?

The test is on the F41000 and it is the ONLY demo bike in the country.

Finn has offered me a lend of his for an article which I will follow up this month (thanks mate) but other than that it's hard to get a leg over (an MV - I hear Finn's easy) - let alone a full comparo.

Good ideas however. Free MV would be a 1/32 scale model?

Yeah - all good shaun - and seriously - have you spoken to todd?
(I find it easier when i can use hand signals as well)

And for the record - I got no probs with Trader or BRM - there is a lot of my advertising work in both of them. Good relations. I do miss a beer with Reece and Glenn at the trade do's.

Hitcher may have even approved of the FJR blurb!

Indeed Hitcher did! Also Hitcher has noted that Two Wheels magazine (as well as needing a decent proofreader) picked the FJR ahead of the ST1300 and K1200GT in a 1800km-in-two-days head-to-head comparison. As Big Dave and I have told you, FJRs rock!
