Sally Simpson (kiwi rider)

[carver]

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

I think the mag is trying to cater for all tastes and maybe try and hit the female market by using a women as a writer men tend to rate bikes on manly things ie power speed etc all the things that would make him the top "hunter". Take a fhm and compare that to a cosmopolitian or take a mens health and compare that to a womans weekly the differences are huge women are about emotions men are about there cocks! I know I am its genetics its the animal in all of us .

To your original question I agree with you I do feel she has nothing to realy say so she dribble about meaningless stuff. Well for me at least I want to see fact and figures how much the thing is going to "scare" me! where the ladys might like more of a how comfartable/elegant it is.

Well thats my 2c at least

thats what im here for...the purpose of this thread, surely there must be someone else who see's it like i do

[enigma51]

nope.. why's she writing then?

cause she cant use her other asests!

I agree with Enigma in that she is endeavouring to appeal to a broader audience - i.e. women, and in particular women who either pillion or ride cruisers.

Personally, though, I have to agree with Carver, I do not get much out of her column. Perhaps because I neither pillion nor ride a cruiser.

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

Suggestions anybody?

You - chick on a street bike... racing... from a woman's perspective of course. That chat you and I had about your experiences would make a brilliant read...

...and you'd only need to find an additional 3 or 5 hours in your week LOL

Just include the words "empirical" and "anecdotal" from time to time, add in "perspective", "feminism" "post feminism" and you'll be fine.

The words in between just pad out the mumbo jumbo anyway don't they?

Women with brains eh... who'd have 'em? LOL

[Keystone19]

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.

They look like english words they sound like greek but nope not understood.

Now the last bit that I understand its just so wrong! A women place is in front of the sink or stove!

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!
