Alert: Good biker feature in Saturday's Dominion Post

Stefan Herrick has a great feature in Saturday's Dominion Post (11 February) entitled "Why I ride my bike". A bloody good read. Not bad for a Guzzi rider...

A good excuse for a run down to the dairy tomorrow morning.

Thanks for letting us know, will have to go get a paper tomorrow. Though I strongly doubt i'll be running anywhere to get it, especially if this weather persists!

It's got to be better than the gay looking biker on a Ducati in the "I love my..." section last week. Give me a break!

Has the DomPost suddenly realised it's not just gang members who ride motorcycles? No articles, then three in a short space of time...

any chance of a post of it here... for those of us not in that particular island?

That may be a Mr Hitcher's expertise one, there. I had a look and I can't sse it (online @ Stuff)

It's in the weekend magazine section, towards the back. Half a page. I'll try to find a link, otherwise will scan.

That was one good read. Well written, obviously not a KBer.
His description of us civies commuting in tin cans and the mundane lives we all live until we get on our bikes. I can see a lot of people seeing their sad lives in print and topping themselves because they don't ride a m/bike and have no release valve. Just got back from a ride and it's just as he summed it up - a happy drug to 'flush the day from your head'. And his dig at the middle management lost breed, born again bikies getting bad arse looking bikes and pristine riding gear to look cool with no idea about riding. 'Creases in there jeans', ha ha that cracked me up. Got to go and iron my riding gear now.
Hitcher, so we can congratulate this gentleman of the road what does he ride - I suspect the GSXR picture is just a page filler they stuck in.
You said a Guzzi rider above.

Stefan rides a Guzzi California. Somebody has discarded our Saturday Dompost. I will track down.

Where is the justice in the world when someone can write a masterpiece on the joys of motorcycling, yet have absolutely no taste in bikes at all? He owns the 1993 Corrolla equivalent in bikes.
