August Kiwi Rider Mag

[Big Dave]

With Prejudice.

Got a pre-release copy of August Kiwi Rider Magazine this afternoon. Now it's not because I'm credited as Art Director for the publication or anything (Tui ad?) but i think it's the best yet.

'Pommy Chris' has done an excellent piece on the Royal Enfield - including 'moody shot'. Stretch has done some cool stunts on the KTM990, The Ed has thrashed the new Ducati releases around the track, Josh Coppins and Ben Townley comment on their recent success, John nic takes a gasgas for a thrash, Moto guzzi Breva 1100 test, new kawaski chook chasers, Nash does a big write up of the Brass monkey with some choice pics, Adventure story, OS touring, and as they say in the classifieds - much more.

Nothing much from me - few news items and my helmet review - but more importantly considering aforemention credit - I think we've now got the whole thing looking pretty shit hot. Print job is pretty good, Osbornes and others images are world class and we've concentrated on legibility and making it easy to read.

Probably be another week before it finishes the process and hits the streets, but I reckon most of you will find it's a tenner well spent.

It looks very red....do you do one in Yamaha blue?

[Big Dave]

Next one is black - nada on the blue - The brand colours are red black and yellow and they will be combinations of those.

Can you tell about your helmet review? or is that part of the mag? Cheers John.

Just an edited review of my new X-spirtit - as posted in the products review section here.

They are currently knocking around ideas for a more extensive comparo - maybe starting with system or flip face jobs.

mmmmm - Royal Endfield. I feel strangely drawn to these bikes. Maybe I was a glutten for punishment in a previous life.

Ok Dave - you win, I'll buy a copy this month.

Thank's big dave, good review bit pricy for grandad!! But like they say
"You got a $10:00 head get a $10:00 helmet"

Biff, my son inlaw has a "Royal Enfield" 500 bullet 1953, just loves the thing.
I had one myself back in the 50s. He's on here as "GIZZAGO" loves to talk about it. Cheers John.
