    Big Adv bike photos needed for article

    Lads,

    I'm putting an article in for Kiwi Rider magazine and I need to get some photo contributions.

    The article will likely be focussed on that Waiouru adv ride we did this time last year as the base story for taking big bikes outside their (and our) comfort zones. Ie I will write that ride up as an article with tangents along the lines of "that time when X took his [big bike] through blah blah".

    I guess the article is about us average blokes with average bikes riding them in far from average places.

    Keen to get photos showing big bikes stuck, climbing or traversing some mean bits, falling off trying, towing, repairing, sinking, swimming etc etc. I will request the mag gives credit to the right people for the photos.

    Please email your offerings to [my handle]@gmail.com

    Many thanks! Buggs
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    The bike probably shouldn't have been fully loaded at the time... or by myself

    That NI Invasion ride was awesome fun. Cold & wet, but awesome.
