    Wanted: test pilot who can read and write

    The 2013 bikes are in stock now and I would like someone other than myself to write up an objective view of the latest offerings.

    My thoughts were that I could ask Carver or Choppa but both are over 6 foot and these bikes are a small frame size- similar to CRF230. or KTM125SX.

    so - If you have had experience writing for publication and you would like a day on some epic tracks in the bush- Oh and you can ride a dirt bike and you are about 5 foot 8, reply here and tell me why you would be good for the job.

    I would like to see a woman's perspective too, so don't be shy, we could do a his n hers test?

    Carver use to do bike reviews on here, very very good bike reviews if I recall correctly.
    Contrary to unfounded popular belief, he does know a thing or two, and his intelligence in such matters showed through via the videos he posted.
    He'd would worth contacting Stu.

    Lula is about 8 months preggers ATM and I bet she would have something in her contract with ACP about promoting 'Chinese Shit'

    I'm the correct hieght, but writing and riding is pretty on par with each other. Average as. LOL!

    Keen to come have a play if you're offering. I've got a helmet cam that we could use to make some footage of the bike in action?? Not too far away now as I live in Papamoa.

    ummm you're a bit quicker than 'average', and you keep correcting Barty on punctuation, so I think you're a likely candidate?

    Cheese has given me an idea.....
    I put on a ride day and everyone gets to ride it and give me their thoughts - plus we all have a good play on our own bikes and It just costs gas money. next Sunday 16th Dec - who is in? - room for about 15 riders

    I'm an expert at crashing and I can write reasonably well. I managed to bin a gixxer without even moving. Do I qualify?
