Kiwirider November 2009 Edition

Fuck yeah. Especially getting out of under-building car parks on a Monday morning. Walking pace can be a bit quick.......

Walking round in circles anyway...

p.dath doesn't like Kiwirider magazine....must go out and buy a copy today..it must be good.

Considering P.Dath couldn't even understand one of my posts I think he has propbably got the wrong end of the stick....again. I'm so glad he doesn't have a profession where accuracy and ability to comprehend facts are an issue.

Lucky he's a cop then

No. I did a Google Search first to ascertain who the person was, and nothing relevant turned up.

Hell, even if I search for myself a couple of pages of relevant links come up.

May I enquire what you entered into Mr Google?

May I enquire what you entered into Mr Google?

I did a whole series of searches like this:
Ross MacKay
site:nz Ross MacKay
site:nz Ross MacKay motorbike
Ross MacKay motorbike

Nothing relevant seemed to come up on a world wide search, a search of just NZ sites, or with his name related to motorbike's either in NZ or world wide.

I also read the kiwirider web site hoping to find some kind of biography or background info, and came up with nothing.


Care to inform me what he is famous for so I can go read about him?

I got this from google.... http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en...a=&aq=null&oq=

That's the same kind of results I got. Shows he is involved with Kiwirider (which is obvious), and a report of him crashing in an AMCC race.

I get the impression from other posts he has done something special? Someone care to give me a hint what that might be?

Ixion, you made a comment in post 3 suggesting he is special. Please enlighten me.

Well I got Journalist of the Year from that link from google..... but I have no idea what I am looking for... in fact I don't care what I am looking for lol

That's a good point about putting bios on the web site though.
Just been busy trying to sort the content and if feels a bit wankey writing it.

We also want to put an up to date products and services directory, subscribers areas where they can download the press stuff that we get from the factories, even read the magazine online.

This ACC thing has sucked the air out of a few projects I had going on and monetising a web site takes time.

Traffic to the site is good - particularly following the ACC shizzle - If any of you have a business that could do with more traffic I can cut you a deal on banner ads.

Many of the banner ads on KB are from me.

Ross is the Editor of KIWIRIDER.

He has won numerous (I think) Qantas awards.
Including Motoring Journalist of the year.
His Degree is from Otago.
He is also widely know in Motor Racing and Karting endeavours.

I work for the publication part time and make various contributions as well.

I think it's rather amusing that there is no record of publication of the Quantas Media Awards, even though there is a specialist web section, on the Internet. Even their own web site only lists 2009 winners. Perhaps they need a publicist.

So there is no easy way to find out what he has an award for, or in what section.

Be hard to find the Quantas media awards... maybe try Qantas Media Awards

I did:
http://www.qantasmediaawards.co.nz/

But they don't have any info on anything other than the prior year. And a general search only really finds publications talking about their own awards.
