Title: It's nearly Christmas...must be time for another issue of VMX Magazine!
Post by: AjayVMX on December 03, 2008, 04:20:37 pm
Greetings everyone!

Now I know we've run late in the month occasionally in getting VMX out, but of course we don't really have that option in December.  So the good news is that the next issue of VMX is already at the printer and will be out to subscribers in about 10 days. ;D

So without fruther adieu, here's the cover preview....

I must say, I'm impressed with VMX Magazines unbiased make of bikes on the covers of the magazine since its creation.
Variety is the spice of life.   :-*   
Cheers and thanks for the fantastic work.  8)

Hey Hoony you taken off that makeup off from your now two TV appearences yet? ;D :D ;D

Ajay the last one will take some topping but the cover looks the goods, got to love the old time factory bikes they look so special.

Ha, it took 4 hours to take that segment, 1 hr of filming and 3 hours of make up (they wouldn't let me wear my suspender belt & Boots though ;D)

what was my 2nd appearence? i thought it was only "Blokes & bikes"

"Gettin' better all the time".... The Beatles could have been singing about VMX magazine in their little ditty. This issue is full of the rare and quirky stuff that I love so much. Smithys VanTech story is especially a bottler. The cover bike OW adds to the exotica quotient as does Malams piece on my beloved Sprite/Alron/aAmerican Eagle/BVM and  Darren Browns article on his own Maico/TT500 hot rod.
There's a nice little Carabela article too! Too good chaps!

Got mine in the mail today.  Great to see the short piece on Don Newell, bring on the full story.  Don was a great encouragement to me in the late 60s & early 70s, we had many a race together.  He was, and still is a tremendous supporter of country meetings, one of the nicest people in motorcycling.  I love that shot of his 250 Dot, I used to race an identical model, the loudest bikes in the world with that megaphone exhaust.
Keep up with the Super Seniors articles, us 60yr olds hold them in awe!

Mine arrived today too. Perfect timing, I had a sickie today as I had some wood screws & a piece of Meccano removed from my ankle yesterday. So I laid back with feet elevated & read.

Interesting that they use those funny torx heads on the screws. Like a lot of electrical goods these days they don't want you taking things apart yourself ::)

... wood screws & a piece of Meccano removed from my ankle yesterday...
It's quality tackle - I have an identical rig from my broken humerus (spelling?) back in '91.
It's lived in my toiletries bag ever since; one day I'll coat it with resin and make a paper-weight! 8) ;)

Yep have to agree with 211 that is the best yet (of the new generation), great cross section of articals and a credit to all involved. you blokes have settled in nicely to your roles ;)

To GMC, old school to the last hey mate, looks like old stock stainless? go to get with the new age titanium like the pin I got this time last year ;D

Hey Dave,
Funny I always thought it was the superior design and production that set VMX apart from the crowd. Ken of course disagrees - he reckons its the editorial content and Ajay just loves those ads.

Anyway glad you like it.
