Yup, as VMX42 indicated in another post somewhere, VMX Issue #35 is at the printers, so that means it's time for the tradition sneak preview... ;)
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-7/1052255/VMX35FrontCover.jpg)
That should keep the Honda boys happy... :o
-
Phuck what a unit, keep the Honda Boys happy big time with that one Ajayster.
YZ360 and KX420 as well , a bumper issue. dare i ask expected delivery sport?
gotta go and wipe the drool off my keyboard now
-
Not sure, probably early the week after next for subscribers if everything goes smoothly. ??? A week after that for newsagents. :o
-
i've heard Kens changed the cover shot in a last minute attempt to boost sales to that of,
the mighty MX125a yamaha.
true story... :D
-
News to me! :o

Surely you Jest VandyMan ;) with works Honda's on the cover its a guaranteed sell out. :D
-
do the VMX mag guys let you know when your subscription has run out?
-
Yeah Paul they do.
The RC's are the shite!
Cant wait to be an unsociable bastard !
-
Arr Brad have our Red jacket on this week mate??
Hoony we wait with interest on this issue :o
Hey Ajay how about doing some pull out posters on some of these bikes? Just the thing for the shed wall ;D
Gee I just realisted I sound like a thirteen year old kid again asking for that :D now to do what we all did when we were thirteen ;D ;D

-
Glad that it will be here soon, I've been worried the world was going to end before I got a chance to read the next issue :o
-
Actually Shane, its more like a technicoloured dream coat of sorts.... but its mainly red in colour ;)
-
I look forward to seeing that riding gear!! as for a dreaming they must be just about for-filled with the collection you have mate ;) how did you end up at Nudgee the KX looked as if it was on song.

I am not too embarassed to ask for pull out posters! ;D Go on Ajay - you can do it :D :D
cheers

(mind you they need to be Honda, or Yamaha or Suzuki........................)

After the disastrous start being taken out, it all went well. Two 1sts ('75 open, evo125) a 2nd(evo250) and a 3rd('75 125)
-
I had front row seats for the take out in the 125 how bad was that the other guy was gone until he hit you and the straighten himself up and took you out!!!
Mate I would love a dollar for every vintage lap you do a year I would be a millionare ;D ;D

What, you don't want some nice pull out posters of some super Green machines? ;D
Actually, pull out posters don't work with VMX's binding system as far as I know (we don't use staples). :'(
Sorry about that! ;)
-
Sorry Ajay,
But you can put a pull out poster in a Burst Bound magazine just as easily as a saddle stitched one. You really should have known...
VMX42
I agree, we should have pullout posters in VMX. How about a set of staff portraits for the first series. We have already seen Ken as a topless model - now a poster size copy of that image would certainly stimulate additional subscriptions!!! I know that Drakie and Firko would be up for it!!!
-
:o ::)
-
You see, you really do learn something every day... ;) ::)
-
And you could fit AJ in landscape format instead of portrait without losing his natural physique
-
Hey Magoo,
I think a reply mentioning 'Glass Houses' or a 'Room full of mirrors' might be appropriate here!!!

-
I just got off the phone with Drakie and Billy Forsyth and we've mapped out a schedule for our nude centrefold shoot.
Be Vewwy Vewwy Afwaid!
-
WHO SAID "NUDE" ????????? ? NOBODY SAID "NUDE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REPEAT, NOBODY SAID "NUDE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you and Drakie do with Bill is your business [not that there is anything wrong with that] but NOBODY!!!!! said anything about "NUDE". Dear God, don't scare me like that!!!!!
And remember this is a family forum.

I'll back that one up... you have no idea how many subscribers we lost when we ran the photo of Super Hunky's butt... :o
The magazine is only just recovering now... ;)
-
Whew.......That was a close one! Can we wear our Mankinis?
-
now who took this off topic???????????????? I said Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha - now if we need Kawasaki to make sure these deviates keep their clothes on then I can go that far ;D ;D

My wife got an autographed 8x6 glossy of that shot from Rick................ without the sticker................ ::)
If I turn around right now, I can see it on the wall above her desk.............
Consequently, I don't turn around much.....................especially after lunch.............. :-\
-
Grrrr....just when you think everything is going just hunky dory, something messes it up! :o
The magazine will be a few days late, courtesy of our slack printer... ::)
-
Those Honda RCs feature will be worth the cover price alone.
-
Well, at last I can say...it's here! :) That Honda on the cover sure is RED
Subscribers copies will be mailed out tomorrow. :o
It should be in newsagents at the end of next week. :D
-
With or without the pullouts?? isn't that the real reason you held it back Ken ;D
-
I've got mine. Don't suppose that makes me special?
Looks pretty good even if I do say so…
and very, very Red!!
VMX42
-
Well he does have insider knowledge on how to get one... :o
I can confirm that VMX Issue #35 is now "in the mail" for Subscribers and eBay Pre-Publication purchasers. 8)
It should be on newsagent shelves by the end of next week...hopefully. ;)
-
Just picked mine up from the PO and am salivating over it as we speak ;D
-
Congratulations to all of you blokes involved with producing the mag. It's a great issue and a credit to you. Those factory Hondas are indeed something else and the Tassie Nats coverage is fantastic. Wait 'til you see the photos!
Meanwhile, the other vintage mags fall even further behind.
-
Received my copy here in NZ today, totally agree with Firko's post above.
-

Great, hopefully you'll wreck it and need another copy... ;D
-
Actual Ken I have a warranty claim on issue 33 as the pages are falling out ???
-
Shane, PM sent. ;)
-
I arrived home to find #35 sitting next to my chair and a cold beer next to the magazine. Its a Hard decision to make when it comes to opening which one first but I had to crack the beer first, then put my feet up and opening the holy pages to the lattest instalment of VMX. But what do I find........ no reflections from the pages. They even feel different, whats going on?? Something is different about this issue??
SATIN pages
The pages feel grippy, textured even. The colour of the photos seems stronger, the mag on a whole just seems my viberant,.... aaarrh I know why now..... theirs a Noguchi in there. ;) ;D ;D
So what have you done to the mag Ajay??
-
Nothing as far as I know...same printer, same paper specification... ;D
Maybe it's those Red hondas that are dazzling you... :o
-
How strong was that beer DJ??
-
you actually have someone who arranges to have a cold beer AND the mag waiting for you !!!!! is this an NZ thing? Is there a sister?
-
Can you get warranty replacements on Vmx mags that have the all the large photos stuck together with some spurted goo ................. :D
-
Mine arrrived in Darwin yesterday.
A big thank you guys once again.
Brent
-
Is the VMX mag an Aussie magazine? I just had a flick through the new one and there didn't seem to be much on the Tassie nats? Maybe i better double check incase i missed a page or 2. :-\
-
Check pages 32 to 39, I think that qualifies as coverage...
Cheers,
Mark
-
>:( the beer has just run out but I have read from cover to cover, twice ;D and I can't wait for the next instalment with the OW13 The fridge will have to be restocked otherwise it will be top shelf drinking but that gets a bit tough seeing the words in double.
-
Well done guys, with all due resect to Ray, I believe it is the best issue ever, you have raised the bar and it has got to be recognised as the worlds number one VMX mag.
-
OK - Now stop it you guys !!!
After buying VMX since the issue #1 hit the stands way back when I have pored over the content, dreamed the dreams and enjoyed every word and picture (well nearly every word and picture, lol)
I have urged soooooooo many people at the modern MX meetings to seek out THE BEST VINTAGE MX MAG IN THE WORLD and shock, horror and damnation - allowed my subscription to lapse !!!
In penance I now sit forlornly staring at piles of Maico parts seeking some solace but nothing replaces the joy of each new issue arriving in the white padded bag, carefully ??? placed in the mailbox by my thoughtful postie (I'm going to knock him off his f%$#&@ Honda if he creases another issue !!!
Oh well nothing for it but do the povo thing in the morning and stride purposefully towards the local newsagents with one thing in mind - yep you guessed it, buy a copy of Rugby League Week just to make sure the damn football is over for another year !!!
One subscription coming up ;)
See some of you at Clarence - I have this funny piece of plastic that MANSW says will let me race so I might just try it out !!!

Hay Ajay, good point brought up by the thread above from maicomc490t, I too have every issue of your great mag but since I have been a subscriber since about issue 20 the bloody mailman rolls up creases my beloved VMX magazine and shoves it in the mailbox with no respect it deserves, is there any chance that you could put "DO NOT BEND " on the padded envelopes for us subscribers in the future.
-
Guys, thank you all for the (mostly) nice words.
Probably a good time and place to give credit where it's due. ;)
While VMX is a collaboration of many people, Ken is the one who is piloting the ship editorially, and really should take most of the credit for the ability to find the stories and blend them into an interesting mix each issue. 8)
Also, Jeff performs his artistic magic each quarter, putting up with sometimes indifferent photography and strives to produce a magazine that is artistically not matched by many (if any) dirt bike mags. His input is vital on how the magazine looks and reads. :)
I have to agree with E74, this is a good issue. I was lucky enough to get it all to myself last Thursday - the only person to have a copy in my hands (and yes, I read it just like everyone else) before it was mailed out the next day... ;)
-

Unfortunately, not possible at this stage. :(
All we can suggest is postman education (like get him to just put it next to your mailbox, or even maybe a bigger mailbox... ::)
Indeed, even it is were possible, I suspect a few posties may take the "Do Not Bend" as a challenge to see what damage they could do...
;D
-
when i buy old copies from ebay they useally come with a piece off thick cardboard each side so they dont get damaged
-
Ray used to post my copies with Do Not Bend on it. And my post office would put a card in my box telling me to come in to pick up like any other parcel.
But by the sound of it, my P.O. might be the exception to the rule. :D
-
The large weather proof letter box works for us everytime.
-
I think there might be an opportunity in the VMX marketplace for an 'Executive Subscription Service'.
It would be a service where all issues are hand delivered to the subscribers door by an Ex World MX Trophy Girl [not Firko in his ManKini]. We will work on the price and get back to you guys!!!
Don't worry, it is all part of the VMX service.
If you are interested, email Ajay directly.
