Niiiiice...........  ;D

Not only is there no pinecone, there's no stand as well.  :D
We used to do that by getting a bloke to stand behind the bike and he'd let go just as the shot was taken.
Now there's Photoshop.  :-\

OK, for those of you who subscribe or buy VMX using the eBay pre sale, your magazines are in the mail... :o

For the newsagent lurkers, it will probably also start appearing on the East coast tomorrow or Thursday... ;) 

Probably not until early next week for the Westerners.  :'(

I take that with me and have a quick peruse before I know it I've read it from cover to cover ! Now what am I going to do for the next 3 months ? Quess I'll just have to get those bikes ready for CD7. Curly

Got mine and read most of it in the physios waiting room this morning before he tried to sort my rooted knee and ankle out (and made it worse). VMX made the pain worth it. I was worried about the photos on one of my articles but thankfully they turned out OK. While I'm sorry to see my old cohort Drakie go it's good to see a trials column now sharing my little page. Welcome to the club David Lahey. I love the covergirl Malherbe RC500 Honda, (another red bike Ken ;D) Smithy's OSSA and how sweet is that little blue Hercules 250? It'd have to be one trickest and neatest bikes I've ever seen.
Roger Harvey nails his cartoon which is actually in column form and Darren Hill should get a hoot out of Smithys shopping trolley experience. When compared to CDB and the now MIA Retro Moto, VMX is way in front for quality and content. Good work lads.

Arrived in Darwin today.
Great article on the Muster, mainly because I was actually at a meeting that got a mention!
Speaking of the Muster I must thank Tony T again for helping me out. I was very grateful for somewhere safe to leave my bike while we were in Adelaide,
Even when I wanted to pick it up and drop it off at odd hours. Hopefully I can return the favour!
And yes, the Credit card needed a stint in ICU after that trip!

Got mine today - excellent issue. So much to read, so many fine photos. Yep, that Hercules 250 is superb. And the DT Nats article is a good un. And all the rest - Vinduro Germany, RC500s, the columns, all good stuff.

But how about that 1973 CR125 some guy found in a shed!!??

Post by: AjayVMX on March 18, 2010, 08:43:07 pm
Thanks everyone again for your nice comments on the mag.  :)

Remember the kudos should be mainly directed at Ken and Jeff for their creative endeavours in making the magazine as interesting and beautiful as it is.  ;)

At this stage, the plan is to get issue #42 out before Classsic Dirt....   :o

Ajay, I think you can take it as a good sign when people start losing the plot if their mag is a day late :D
Title: Re: VMX #41 is not far away now...
Post by: AjayVMX on March 18, 2010, 10:25:14 pm
Yeah you're probably right, although the shoe used to be on the other foot - I also was a subscriber in the old days as well and I can understand the frustration of hearing others having their mag earlier than me!  :o

Another screamer from the Hunkster, eh?  :D
Quote: "A True Classic- A bike that nobody wanted when it was new, and now it's 35 years old.......... "
I remember Rick saying that about one of my bikes. He told me it was rare cos it was no bloody good when it was new....... probably right....  :(

Actually, fine work all round gentlemen. Thanks for keeping and, dare I say it, raising the standards.
