Kiwirider mag digital and podcast

[F5 Dave]

Eh? That mag that disappeared from shelves several years ago with little fanfare.

Only recently realise it is still going but only digital .

Find it yourself and subscribe. It's free.

Works kinda OK, I prefer paper, but I recently worked out the corner button for contents page, so you can skip forward.

Gets read in an hour, but hey the price is right.

Just found they do podcasts. Not on all platforms but on Spotify. Search Kiwirider. Listened to Kylie Dorr interview. Way cool.

the guy who started it in 1967 Daryl New died two weeks ago, it may have changed name but it has been continous since then, shame you missed it for all this time too, i've always looked at it when it became on line

Jesus. Not Barry's dad, different one I assume?

Are you sure about that? Tis Friday night and all that.

Yeah I used to subscribe to paper, but lost interest. One of the editors wasn't my style. Got a test bike, blagged a whole lot of parts for it (I had a GG200 at the time) and then failed to ride it. Plonker.

My only issue with the digital version is that if the page is enlarged so I can read it (and the PC does have a big screen) then it has to be reduced back to smallest size to advance to the next page. Other than that - great, and they often have a column by Boris Mihailovic

Heck I used to see him in Westfield regularly a year or so back. Vic club stalwart, jeez never knew about the mag.

Funny what you learn about people at funerals. Vash had several separate worlds he inhabited. A racing mate Keith Biddle (Av's dad) started 2 mags, I think still going. A martial arts one and a speedway one.
