I'd like to see articles about women who are racing, ride reports, Trackday and training info, new products and riding gear, Bike reviews, maybe maintainence tips etc.

What would you expect to see in it that would motivate you to buy/subscribe?

the same as kit said, with a regular editorial about purchasing bikes for the smaller frame, and consumer advice for women in biking. Also an event list and a DIY page.

Hi, I just stumbled across your discussion and agree that FM was good (and I still have an old copy to refer to), and that I am keen to support this project. As you say the 'e-zine' is fairly cheap to get going and could be off the ground fairly quickly.

I think there's the capacity to get it up and running and I'm willing to contribute time toward this.

your thoughts?

I do have alot of thoughts on this one, and I didn't realise that Her_B4 was at the same time thinking the same thing lol, sorry babe! I saw a niche, and wondered about it!

Realistically I'm personally not available until the end of the year for such a project.
I have 11 points of interest, with the main thrusts being about about supporting and promoting Motorcycle Racing for Women, encouraging new lady riders, and supporting current Lady Riders.

I also have a few ideas for Marketing and Promotion of its existance!

Coool. Does it have pictures?

Boomtish! Actually, after writing that, I did wonder how long that would be left untouched LOL

+1 on that, even as a guy, I thought it was a great read!



Trouble with the idea is that regardless of the quality and appeal to some it is going to be a small, niche market and the returns are rarely there to cover the costs. It's shame as the FM mag was really well put together - it wasn't a lack of quality that ended it.

Good website, by the way!

Yea it is an awesome site, eh?!
A website is easy to maintain, doesn't NEED to be monthly, and no print/distribution costs!
Hard copy would be great, but a helluva lot more overheads!

Yep, agreed. The nice thing about a website is that all it really takes is time and commitment to keep it up-to-date. I'm in!!!
