Well I had a look at a few bike magazines and settled on Bike Rider magazine as the one I took out for a subscription.
As I did the subscription I noticed that some lucky bugger who took out or renewed their subscription was going to win a Hyosung 250...good luck to whoever that person was going to be.
So anyway a little while later the phone goes at home and is passed to me. Didn't catch the guys name at first but he said he was from Bike Rider magazine and started asking me questions to confirm my identity.
As he was doing this my mind slowly clicked into gearand I started thinking is this call really what I think it is about, and with that I was told that yes, I had won a Hyosung 250!
I quickly made a few arrangments and hitched up to Thames to pick up the bike.
The 2nd great part was at the dealership. I was there first (keen aye?) and looked around the stock...yep, that standard 250 there must be like what I am getting.
Hell no! Fergus Maynes from Hyosung NZ turned up and told me that I was getting the 250 R, a real beauty bike, blew me away.
Kevin from Bike Rider magazine continued the hospitality by giving me a bed for the night and the next day I rode home.
Great journey on a lovely bike.
Thanks to everyone at Bike Rider magazine, especially Kevin (Good luck with your bike in the post classics) and Hyosung NZ for stumping up with the prize and going the extra distance with a GT 250 R.
