Sally Simpson (kiwi rider)

[merv]

I know Sally and she is pretty down to earth - no poser about her and no bling really - but she does seem to prefer cruisers.

Maybe Big Dave can tell us, but if some other chick wanted to write a different sort of column for KR would it be welcome because maybe someone from here could step up to the plate?

[enigma51]

Yes, you are so right. I don't know what Sally Simpson was thinking writing a column in a motorcycling magazine of all things. Back to the kitchen I say!

Yeah on the subject wheres my bacon and eggs!

Hmm, aside from not really having 3-5hours spare a week, I'm not sure the general readership of Kiwibiker are into interpretivist approaches to oral history that incorporate a feminist inclination.

True - but you missed an "s" it should be incorporates (that's the only thing I could find wrong with what you wrote... hell it's the only word I recognised... apart from "oral", and for some reason my perspective on that may not not hold too much favour in feminism HQ...

... although it might ... in which are there any pictures?

Actually I take that back... my correction is actually an incorrection... now... back to the oral bit...

No, the 's' should be there as it was referring to approaches not an approach.

As for your fixation with oral, well, I know a good remedy for that...

oohhh - you wicked unscientific interpretivist you. Hermeneutic, that's what you are. Positivist neo-marxism is the only thing that would be acceptable to KiwiBiker readers, right lads ?

[Goblin]

Perhaps there is room for another column written by a women from a different perspective again?

Suggestions anybody?

How about your perspective? From a "Trackday Whore" point of view? You'd have a tale or two to tell eh?

I agree with carver about her rambling on about shit...she's never kept my interest long enough to finish the page. I do like Morony's collum tho...his sense of humor appeals to me & I often giggle like a school girl while reading it. Nash is interesting too, in a more serious kind of way.

[Big Dave]

I have a lot of respect for Nash, he seems to know his shit, bit like motul from this site.

I usually just threaten him. (actually both of them)

Nah, kidding, he's all right, he does what a columnist does, spurs debate by offering opinions and his photography is good and creative.

Another competent female columnist - preferably a rider - would be a welcome addition to the roster I'm sure.

Ross MacKay is the man to ask
editor@kiwirider.co.nz

You could do it Keystone.

[ManDownUnder]

At the risk of speaking for KeyStone... and I KNOW I'm on thin ice here... with hot skates an' all...

The reason I suggested KeyStone do it is becausde I know she has less than fuck all time on her hands already. I think fitting this in would be more than too much.

Course I'm open to correction on that.

It's ok Jill... I'm shutting up and pissing off now LOL

[Keystone19]

CRAACCCKKK......

lol, thank you MDU.

You are right though, I do have a lot on my plate. However, sometimes such ideas are worth considering for other reasons. If Kiwirider were interested in what I may be able to write, I may be interested in thinking about it.

I'm sure there are others out there who would fit the bill equally as well though.

[Big Dave]

It's ok Jill... I'm shutting up and pissing off now LOL

About time her luck changed.

" The anonymity of the internet allows futile little wankers to live out their Arnold Schwarzenegger 'one against an army' masturbatory fantasies by talking big."

Instead of voicing your comments about Sally's writing on here (which let's face it, she isn't gonna see), write into the magazine - readers raves - and ask her to reply to your unconstructive comments.

In fact Carver, it could be arranged so you could have the conversation face to face....

[Keystone19]

Ahh, yes Chris, but it is a public forum and Carver was inviting people to comment on Sally's column. This he has achieved.

It seems to me that reading the majority of the posts in the thread, I don't think the remainder of the comments could be construed as unconstructive, it is merely opinion.

Sally's column does appeal to many and that is why you have it. I think the suggestion was that perhaps there could be something in addition to Sally's column.

However, you know you're readership and would be the best judge of this possibility.

[Big Dave]

oohhh - you wicked unscientific interpretivist you. Hermeneutic, that's what you are. Positivist neo-marxism is the only thing that would be acceptable to KiwiBiker readers, right lads ?

I was thinking more 'leso's with big tits.'

[Keystone19]

I was thinking more 'leso's with big tits.'

Well that completely excludes me then...

Carver was inviting people to comment on Sally's column.

Really? Not how I interpreted his words.

"can we have some debate on the forementioned woman who writes for kiwi rider?"

"because well, i find her irritating"

"Sally on the other hand just seems to be (correct me if im wrong!) a poser, the kind of person who wouldnt throw a leg over something lowly like a...uh DT 175!"

"but i wonder if she can ride for shit,"

"so..lets talk about her,"
