'Fucken' where exactly? None of the content is published online.

Well, try to get the poxy magazine shops at the airport to stock the darn thing will y'.

I always used to get it when I went over to Oz, cos it's a good read on the plane. But the last two times none of the airport places have ahd any.

Can't buy it if they don't have it in stock

No your Quickness,
The Fireblade is featured - But I believe the R1 is still MacKays favourit-est and reigning BOTY.

Fixed the link - I always do that! taaaa

Gordon & Gotch do the distribution - have forwarded your comments.
Not sure if its the case but It actually sells out in some outlets too.

Not for $10.
It used to be value for money - not now.
Bikemart for free? I didn't come down in the last shower.
What is the value of Bikemart?
Nothing to me.
What say others?

[Ixion]

I quite like Bikemart. And leaving it out would I imagine INCREASE the price of KR. 'Tis advertising that pays for the mag, not cover sales.

The dirt stuff doesn't do to much for me, but then they can't suit everyone. Just don't read the bits y'ain't interested in.

It doesn't matter what say others. What matters is what the publisher says about the advertising revenue.

Bike Mart is free - my guess is KR would still be $10 without it - and still excellent value. I am interested in Road, Dirt and Adventure riding. The latter two will become even more popular as road laws and enforcement change riding culture.

I also personally believe that Bike Mart has much greater value now that is bound in - I look through it nearly every time I flick through the mag now - It was once and away before.

I use the directory in it too - When I need to talk to Kerrie at MSW I look up her ad in BM for the number.

Bike Mart is free - KR would still be $10 with or without it - and still excellent value.

Maybe, but at $6.50 (not so long ago) I bought it, at $10 I scan/read it at the newstand, and only buy it if it has something I want to keep/refer to.

Read "Bike" lately?

Nah - pommie gits - who cares.

I don't read anything else or look at other mags designs even. I don't even read the other KR contributors very much.
It guarantees I'm not plaigairising - or even sub-consciously voicing someone elses opinion about bikes or product.
Oh the prices I pay...sigh.
