How dare you voice your own opinion on an Internet forum carver!

The arnie quote is cute, shame it's not really relevant here, might have been worth a titter. You should be at least a little happy though Chris, I've never brought KR, but I'm picking up a copy on the way home to find out what the fuss is about!

Next time I'll tage the quote onto one of Mikeys threads instead, it may be more appropriate.

Heheheh. The OPs tone is perhaps a little too aggressive for your own taste, maybe even mine, but it's nice to see much of the feedback has been genuine

I would have thought that flicking through KR is much like flicking through Penthouse or Playboy.......Who really reads it, dont you just dribble over the pic's ? ................

How about you write it, send it in and we think about it? You never know we may like it.

Interesting debate. I buy the mag every month and didn't Know SS had a column.
If the above quote is the requirements for the direction of Kiwi Rider editorial and articles I'd be worried as the magazine owner

There appears to be a reasonable sized group of fems out riding these days. Maybe KR should be looking at including more relevant articles written by women. However KR needs to provide a direction (after consultation of course) for the type of articles required.

After all you have a large kids section, And a good dirt section (can those guys read?)

K19 would make a great contributor as she has gained a lot of respect through this forum. She is even coming along nicely as a rider and knows how oil her chain without damaging her nails.

Yeah K19 to write for KR

Dave has long pushed the point on this site, that if you send us stuff it may get published. Simply put, the editor does not have the time to actively go out and find new contributors for the mag.

The onus is on Keystone to send us something, why should we chase? So my comment stands, send us something and if it's suitable it will go in. Go through a few back issues and see what you think has been missing and write us a piece.
E-mail Ross with pleasure, but he really is a man under pressure and may not answer your mail for some time, so be patient. Failing that, send it to me and I can put it under his nose.

There are only seven of us who work full time on the mag and most of us do two or three different jobs, so we value our contributors.

Literary criticism is fully justifiable, personal criticism is unwarranted.

Well, I'm going to go against the flow. I usually enjoy The Dragon Lady's column - not always, but usually. I think Moroney is a dick and his column is a waste of space, as are his other stories, but others obviously like him. I think Nash is great, I look forward to his column, and his other stories are good too.

We all like like different stuff, and no publication that attempts to cater to a wide audience (all the bikers in NZ in this case) is going to please everyone with ALL of it's content. So read the bits you like, and skip those you don't like. Hell, nobody makes you buy it and read everything in it - get over it.

Great mag guys and gals, keep it up.
