    Thumbs down NZ motorcycle media

    i have brought brit mags for a while because NZ motorcycle mags are so kind to every product they get their greasy hands on.
    sure, im no journo, but i get sick of mags saying every Chinese POS is just fin, or has just a minor issue.

    you would think old women made up the staff.

    i know why this is, but there is no journalistic integrity to your readers.

    bring on the next mormon few test!

    Yeah, I find the quality of the writing quite amatuer. But I suppose there is only a relatively small pool of journos in NZ.

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Big Dave died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly.

    The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best friends, 'SARGE' and 'fire eyes'.

    The three had always done everything together.

    SARGE arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet,

    SARGE said, 'Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over.'

    The mortician rolled him over and SARGE said, 'Nope, that ain't Big Dave ..'

    The mortician thought this was rather strange.

    So he brought fire eyes in to confirm the identity of the body.

    fire eyes looked at the body and said, 'Yup, he's pretty well burnt up.

    Roll him over.'

    The mortician rolled him over and fire eyes said, 'No, it ain't Big Dave'

    The mortician asked, 'How can you tell?'

    fire eyes said, 'Well, Big Dave had two arseholes.'

    'What? He had two arseholes?' asked the mortician.

    'Yup, we never seen 'em, but everybody used to say:

    'There goes Big Dave with them two arseholes.'

    Carver, I reckon your bike reviews, done a little more professionally/seriously would actually be pretty bloody good.

    It's nice to be honest, but that doesn't always make money. You'd be surprised how many UK journos get a little bit extra from here an there to say that XYZ product is better than it actually is. I mean if you test rode a new bike model at the expense of a dealer/manufacturer would you go saying how shit you really though it was? Likeliness is that if you did that you wouldn't be getting invited back for next years product launch.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Yeah...go on..do better twat!

    It's not just a NZ issue either.

    Im convinced that the journos are "told" which way to write their articles before they are given them. Then all the do is lazily tag a group of cliche together and churn it out.

    Even the News gets a spin on it depending on the agenda of the moment.

    That is of course when the news is actyually news, and not some elaborate advert for the next diet craze or credit card scheme.

    Its us that buys it..so not much use complaining....just stop buying or reading those that disrespect you with half the info and manipulated figures and facts. Its not that hard to spot them!

    I just hate corrupted bike journos. But I could be convinced to change my mind for a bottle of JD...
