Heaps. Honda Super Cub, CT90/110, CB750 (sure... it's DOHC now... and mostly sold only in Japan... but the Harleys have been through a few changes too).In fact, can any one think of any, none Harley, 35 year+ continuous model production bikes? Goldwing? California? errrr
How long was the Speed Twin in production...? Sure it changed names a few times... but the same bike really?

Nice stack of wordz, dude.
Glad about the new job too, all sounds very promising.

Y'know, I would subscribe - if I could figure out a way that didn't involve having to change to some incredibly annoying home-page a la Google.
I've never been able to figure out this RSS stuff. I have a nice little widgetthingy on the side of my desktop (I use Vista) that gives me updates from Granny Herald. If there is a way to add Kiwirider into that then I'm in, otherwise - sorry.

IE 7 & 8 do RSS feeds, as does Firefox, without using iGoogle (mind you iGoogle is bloody useful once you get it organised).
Click on the RSS feed icon on whatever page you are on and you can add an icon for the RSS feed to you links (IE) or bookmarks (Firefox) bar.
You can also subscribe to the RSS feed through Microsoft Outlook 2007 is you have it.

Done, like a dog's dinner.
Works out that IE has to be the subscribing vehicles to add it to my sidebar. It don't work in Firefox.
All good now, cheers.

One hell of a ride.
I've only got my head around it (RSS) recently too. But it's a great way of managing a lot of data. I have set up myYahoo - mainly because I like what Flickr does better than Picasa - but either Igoogle or it is good. And there are a heap of others.
Then I customised the page with the feeds I like so I can filter the shizzle from the whizzle at a glance. (Unfortunately that is typed with an Australian accent).
On the KR site with the netlines thing that opens in the left hand column I used Yahoo pipes to grab feeds that are searched as 'motorcycle', from a heap of different news services and sites - as well as picking up the RSS from SBK and MotoGB and our affiliated sites.
Then I used a javascipt to condense them and run several feeds in a small space.
They open in a pop-up window that I park somewhere on the desk top and surf any interesting headlines.
Sometimes it needs a page refresh/reload to hit all the searches in time, but it pumps out some interesting data too.

For the KR Blog, so far Jim, Nash, Racing Dave, Oscar, Mike Esdaile, Robert Cochrane, the Juniors and all the other usual suspects are lined up to contribute - and are working on some interesting projects.
Just gotta go through due process before we can add content from BT, Josh and more too.
One hell of a ride.
That *should* be arranged.

Oh hell yeah...

Gahh. Bring a stretcher.

Speaking of which - wheres that penis pump you borrowed stumpy?
Oh - not that kind of stretcher eh?
Why don't you road test a proper motorcycle? I could turn you loose on Vickis Suzuki if you like? Oh go on, back to back the TR6C with a new Scrambler then....
Forum whore
Done! That is a corker of an idea, and we could make something of a day of it!
(Pssst - the Suzuki could be good for a laugh too!)
