Got mine yesterday and read it all the way back to work.

Love it and love that it is pretty and girly without being stupid girly...ya know what I mean...it's aesthetically pleasing without being all woosie.

Anyway I was so proud of Flame that I showed my whole team, they were very impressed too though they did take too much delight in asking whether I could do wheelies like that and watching me sadly reply no.

I also suggested to the staff at Dymocks

that they not place price stickers right in the middle of the cover page (right on Flames bike?!) as if I had ripped the picture by removing it I woulda come back for a replacement!

Will certainly try get as many people as I know to buy a copy. Hehe, it is also being passed around in my family, My brother picked it up as soon as I got home and every one in my family think it has been very well done... Esp. for the first edition!

Just wondering though... Is there some way I can subscribe.... With out having to rip off the front cover?

Hi Meekey_Mouse

If you are able to photocopy it and send it through that would be the best option - might look at putting in a tearout sheet next issue for everyone.

Cheers

The whole mag is great Cheryl! you should be really proud of yourself. Its professional right the way through, and there are MANY people talking about it and very impressed with it. I'll email you as I have someone very keen to advertise in your future issues

I saw a few copies on the mag stand at the Mobil Garage in Murchison, so maybe more Mobils have them?
Whitcoulls aren't stockists (yet!) but I've asked them if they will start ordering it in. Paper Plus in Motueka said they would if they got orders. Apparently I need to write to someone at W's head office so I will do that after I get back from Welly in 10 days, unless anyone else wants to do it befor then? Lots of women riders in the Nelson area so we could do with a mainstream stockist here, at least.

Hi Max

Will request my distributor to see if can put in Whitcoulls or Paperplus stores next time however, this is ultimately up to them. However, pressure on the outlets themselves to request it may help in this matter. There are a few stores that the mag's are in; check out my original opening thread and view the spreadsheet for the outlets.

Yayyy!!! Looked back at your first post Cheryl and saw the attached places to get FM Riders from and shot into town this afternoon and finally got my hands on it! Woohoo! I also showed it to one of the guys at the local bike shop and he said it's nicely set out...

I have read most of it already!

Well done! It's awesome!!

Hey, Max! Enjoyed your story, too! How many parts to it?

Well done Cheryl on a great first effort, I hope you get the backing you deserve!

Hi Cheryl,went and tracked a copy of your mag down today,both myself and Dragonfly enjoyed it,great effort,theres quite a few biker ladies in Tauranga here,give them a bump in our thursday night thread,im sure youll get some stories

**roadracingoldfart** · 10th March 2008, 20:45

Well done Cheryl . Its an amazing first issue and shows the thought you have put into the format and content.
The most pleasing thing is the fact you made the picture of me so small in the story about Nicki , very wise lol.
Isnt it amazing when you get something rite it gets a warm welcome. You got it rite here for sure.

PS; i dont know if i can wait till the next issue and i know i wont be featured in it either. Maybe i have a feminine side coming out

Cheers and again , well done.
Paul & Dianne.
