Got the latest Kiwi Rider mag yesterday...

[Big Dave]

Reliably informed that if the dash is omitted in the presence of one of the Davidsons they may throw something at you.

[Big Dave]

Overall I'm personally very pleased with where the magazine is now. Still things to improve on indeed, but since Linda has been proof reading the mistakes have decreased a lot. I know I supply plenty.

Those small faux pas stand out more because everything else is looking so good!

I'll suggest a corrections space in the next issue too. I made a bad one this issue as well. I listened to the tape five times (literally) too. Still got the name wrong.

I got credited for two photos in the " they are reading our mag where" bit.
....nearly got run over too.
Shanghai ...crazy place.

[Big Dave]

Bueno! Shame we couldn't run them bigger.

Can we run enlargements on the web site?
I could lift them from the .pdf but they don't look as good if they have been converted to cmyk and back.

Could you email me the files maybe?

Harley-Davidson "is" due to being informed so by the Motor Company. Big Dave also.

The "it's" is the one I was thinking of, but I just found another. Bling to de dude (or dudette) who done finds that one!

Thanks V-Man!

You're being a bit hard on yourself Mate but in an effort to help you achieve the near perfect copy you desire, there is an omission in the extract copied below.

The content and style of your writing are both good and entertaining, at no point during reading the two blog entries was I tempted to flash read as I so often am with lesser writers with bigger egos.

I'm far more concerned with the content of an article than it's correct form and I think I quite often correct text subconsiously as I read, as in the case below, where I simply inserted the missing word.

Congratulations on some fine work.

EXCTRACT FROM JD BLOG: It's built be looked at AND ridden.

Aye. Unfortunately the 16 page kid's section kinda hampers boobage options.

[Taz]

Even kids like boobs mate. For different reasons of course.

The lack of space between value and unit is due to a formal technical engineering background. That's how "they" do it in the auto industry or at least they did 25 years ago.

Common engineering usage. Can’t be arsed checking if it’s officially condoned ISO syntax or not, everyone I deal with, (except certain… European types) speak proper enjiner like wot I do.

This morning's Sydney Daily Telegraph main headline made me feel better about the typos.

NRL cougar's fury at new 'sex cllaim girl'

Clam Girl would have been funnier though

They've fixed it Dave. The Power Of The Interet has truncated your schadenfreude.

[James Deuce]

Sotto Voce: Quick! Fix "Interet" before he gets more schadenfreude.

[Big Dave]

>>gets more schadenfreude<<

laffs. I know the wholesaler.

It's truncated, don't you know?

I like Kiwi Rider, I think I still have every issue, but bought Bikerider the other day basically for the Sportbike test, flicked the pages, saw an MV, bought the mag, and all they said about the MV was "the MV crashed". No other mention....how....why....when...etc....bugger, got bored quickly and put the mag down ......ps the Gixer won, but I knew it would, they're biased, a bit like me really haha, MVs rule.
