    I've always been amused by the fuel consumption figures in some of the road tests too, they don't indicate a rigorous pushing of the performance envelope.
    From memory, a Bandit test reported 18 -19 km/l. I only get that when mine's switched off.

    PS Too many Aussies on the staff as well.
    For your information KR started off as Kiwi Dirt Rider.

    nah...coz then I would hav to buy two magazines...

    one thing that humors me is the action sports bike shots of ross mckay trying to get his knee down for pics like the euro/usa mags do...but he inevitably can't..or looks like a twat trying..and some pics are angled to make it look like the bikes leaning over further..I'm not hassling his riding or anything..maybe they need to make a deal with some one like whitetrash for action photo's for the hooliginisum value they seem to be aming for...I'm sure trashy would offer his services for some saddle time on these press bikes?

    If they want stunt pics, they'll use Stretch Lupton.
    I'm sure Ross will somehow go on living a fulfilling existence without your approval...

    The riding is the easy part - you haven't noticed WT can't string 3 sentences together?

    Yeah, like kiwi, dirt and rider. My experience of dirt riders is that they seem to have suffered one too many concussions. (sorry, hits on the head)

    You know how people say 'fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch'?
    Little known that this is in fact *the* tree and thus how it got it's name.
