Possibly! I'll take your advice and have a read through some back issues and see what is missing, think about what might be interesting and go from there.

We're always on the lookout for talent. I'm trying to slot WT's skills into it somewhere, (but stretch is doing the business on the stunts already), goddess of goof is working on an article that sounds meritorious, I'd like to see Jill submit something - no guarantees - it's 'casting' and MacKay has the say.

The magazine tries to cover everything of relevance to NZ motorcycling. That's why it's as thick as a phone book lately. If anyone has something to say - lets hear it.

and click on contribute.

We're going to change the cover lay shortly. Working on that now.
Current edition is a good 'un.

Sally is a great lady -- and one of that great and select band of folk who are the Rusty Nuts. She lives in Wairoa and has a penchant for cruisers.

Got nuthin gainst Sally, she okay in my book, even though I agree at times her column doesn't always get me over excited. If one writes anything in a public forum, one leaves oneself open to criticism. One can never please everyone and the comments here both for and against Nash and Moroney show it isn't just about women. Some of the ladies who post on this thread are pretty sharp! KR is a good mag, though I feel a bit dirt biased for me, though I have to concede the huge off-road interest in this country and they are catering well for that. Generally thumbs up to the mag, been buying it for longer than I care to remember!

Did you know she is an artist as well as a biker http://www.artfind.co.nz/cgi-bin/Web...oShow=sallsimp

.... not to mention she is married to an unthinkable a policeman. Not sure if they lurk on here at all.

As for the mag I'm a foundation subscriber.

because well, i find her irritating, sure i dont have to read her page, but it seems every time i do its just a lot of pointless drivel

about bullshit (rechargeable piss on batteries, her own life bla bla bla...)

people like Nash and Moroney always hold my interest, true motorcycle riders with passion at heart (nash at least)
I have a lot of respect for Nash, he seems to know his shit, bit like motul from this site.
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!

,because its too small etc...It seems like she prefers big slow cruisers with a lot of bling (image) (no disrespect waylander), but i wonder if she can ride for shit, and why she writes for kiwi biker?
so..lets talk about her, about posers, and what is the real deal.
im sure many of you are like me, OBSESSED

with bikes.

Don't read her coloum then

Constructive criticism is good right?......Kiwi Rider is bloody expensive for the few snippets of interesting information, for the price it should be glossy and contain more great shots [BD] and less talk.

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....

ok, to all who somehow missed the point, read my first post again
sure i dont have to read her page, but it seems pointless to me, chris chris, come on mate, grow up a bit, i mean shit mate, all i wanted (read that first post again mate...come on) was some debate on the matter, on this public forum, i got what i thought off my chest, and i never intened to slag off at her, i mean shit mate, its a motorcycle mag and lets face it, in this issue she didnt even mention motorcycles, it was about her personal experinces with shopping and some badly dressed nutter at a cafe (GET MY DRIFT CAPT. SLOW?)

so, shall we see what other people think about what i have said, so the kb'r team (yes, thats you included) and other bikers can have a say.

i do enjoy your mag a lot, and your writing mate, but lets take some time to think before we post aye?

keep posting, and thanks all for doing so, most of you guys get the POINT of this thread

Keep pushing BD. Magazines are for light reading and pictures.
