    You lot are soooo funny. (Boys/Men)

    I vote for one unisex magazine, with reversable full nude centrefolds, chick on one side, guy on the other.

    Funniest part about that is guys who are in the industry are generally gay and while that doesn't bother me cause it's just perving........

    Thanks Bob! This is what I have been looking for! I havn't found anything here for small womens gear. No one here seems to want our money so I will spend mine in the UK. NZ needs a shop or two like this. All the Kiwi suppliers only cater for men and cant be bothered getting smaller gear in so that's their loss!

    Hey Gobbling,

    Jaison at Motostyle can get Joe Rocket gear in and I'm sure they do loads of stuff for the bitches. Give him a call.

    Hein Gericke in Europe do a load of chicks stuff too.

    check out 'essexbikercentre' on the web or ebay, Goblin. They are UK based, not cheap to get stuff sent, but not bad if you get a couple of things together
    They have a lot of womens clothing, i.e leathers especially.
    Ebay is a wonderful thing

    personally, when i read a bike review i want it to be by the person best able to do the review ........ i don't care if they are male, female or a little pink bunny wabbit from alpha centuri

    Gotta say I find this a bit weird though: "The reason I wanted to launch the mag is because there doesn’t seem to be any magazines available to women. I know lots of women read the magazines available on the shelves at the moment, but they don’t seem to cater much for the female variety!"
    Surely a bike is a bike right? And women read bike mags to read about bikes.


    Anyway, it'll be cool to see what they put in - women's bike gear and stuff.

    Be careful guys, the next time you go bike hunting, it could have a sticky for sale sign and "women riders only" plastered all over it
    In the beginning, there was nothing. Then the Lord said: "Let there be light"...
    and there was still fuck all, but at least you could see it!....

    yeah I do look at mags to read about bikes, but also gear to use on bikes, clothing to wear, all sorts of stuff.... which is GENERALLY not aimed at women, but at the blokes they assume are on the front. Why would a women want full leathers with protectors? They are only on the back right? ...I am kidding a little but you get my point
    And it would be nice not to have to get past all the advertising encased with big boobs and long legs just to see a product, wouldn't it be nice if the product was actually so good it could sell itself huh?

    Thought you had one already?
    Oh!... I forgot, those are blokes bikes.........only joking.

    Now't against female riders, should be more of em I say.
    Why can't they incorporate a female section in the bike mags?
    I'm sure most editors would be sympathetic towards female readers and it would possibly increase mag sales.
    From a blokes point of view, you could just flip the page over the article that does not interest you, but for the purist(s) amongst us that would be to simple.
    Definately don't wan't to see blokes bearing their fat hairy arse on the cover either.

    There are errrrrrrrrrrm......other mags out there for that.
