Got the latest Kiwi Rider mag yesterday...

[Big Dave]

It's truncated, don't you know?

I hope you typed that in an Eric Idle voice.

[Big Dave]

Well nobody could accuse me of having Triumph....err.....personal favourites Buell ...doh...or sponsors....I mean to Arai........tsk, Rev-it that, sorry I mean say that you still can have an open mind about other products or vehicles.

To me it's about relating to a potential purchaser salient info and opinion/experience on that product - and or providing some entertainment.

I's really thankful that quite a few folks tell me they enjoy it. There was that bloke at the gas pump in 2003.

Bueno! Shame we couldn't run them bigger.

Can we run enlargements on the web site?
I could lift them from the .pdf but they don't look as good if they have been converted to cmyk and back.

Could you email me the files maybe?

webmaster@kiwirider.co.nz

Buona sera Dave, sent you the files.
ciao.

Anyone else notice how the Ed in his First Word column talking about the Buller Gorge U-turn crash said "The guy was an idiot, I thought, when I read about how, determined to pursue bike riders Martin Collins and Brent Russell, he tried to do a a three point turn on a narrow blind corner"?

Now we know there is an error in the dear mag right there because in fact the cop wasn't going to pursue those bike riders he was going to chase that naughty rider (who would that be?) that was riding ahead of these guys and it was those two that hit his car.

Do I get a prize for spotting this? Lifetime free subscription woudl eb nice seeing I've been a subscriber since the mag merged with the old NZ Motorcycle News.

Thanks Dave, are you guys going to pay my ISP monthly charges then ?

Hey no worries, have always enjoyed KR and have been a loyal subscriber.

[Big Dave]

Just ring the ISP and say 'Dave said it was all cool'.

Does NZ motorcycle `journalism', as a whole, represent the worst writing ever put to print? Why is it that after reading a Kiwi Rider magazine my sum total knowledge of motorcycling is somehow diminished?

Now that comment has to be BS.

Motorcycle Journalists suck!

tossers, the lot of em.

greasing up to every bike manufacturer

[James Deuce]

Whores-R-Us.

It's a rotten job, but someone has to do it.

[Big Dave]

I coat the magazine with special formula that sucks the combined knowledge out of the reader and converts it to the energy that feeds my super riding powers.

Follow the white Rabbit, Jim.
