In the early days of VMX magazine I spoke to Ray a few times about doing a website for the magazine. Luckily he never took me up on the offer as I doubt I could have done it justice.

Ray kindly donated some copies of the VMX newsletter he did for the WA VMX club, so it can truthfully be claimed that VMX magazine really began in WA. And lucky me - I have THE complete VMX magazine collection!

the problem is now every wants the early issues everyones asking heaps for them. the maximum i would pay is about $100 per issue.

its just the same reason why some bike parts are going for heaps like that honda kill switch the other week

And here I was figuring that 'everyone' has full sets!?

I've bought it religiously since Issue 4.
Got #1 as a back issue, bought #3 at a more-than-fair price from Firko, and #2 was a lucky score - it was in the waiting room at the dyno place I take my rally car to, and he offered it to me...
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I thought I was mad for paying $100 for the one issue I needed.

Forget the kill switch, Fox Forx are recession proof  right now.

A number of the no 4 issue were water damaged before they were sent out, 5 years ago VMX Magazine had plenty of back issues, a friend of my mine bought 10 copys of each of the early issues except the rare no 4 issue.

Maybe you guys that dont have the hard to get copies should ask Ken, Ajay and Jeff if they could down load the articles from numbers 2-3-4-5-6 on to a CD and sell them so the people who havnt got copies can at least read the stories and look at the pictures. That way the people who have wisely bought vmx mag from the start or have invested their hard earnings on the hold in your hands magazine wont get burnt by a drop in price for the harder to get issues.

In fact, it would be nice to have copies of the magazine loaded into the computer so the real mags dont get damaged while reading and re-reading them.

How about it guys?? Is there a need
If at first you dont succeed, give up and drink beer

thats a good idea that i could live with until i i find the copies. i only found out about the magazine by about issue 18 i think and then i bought the rest of them as back issues direct from VMX when they were at Perth.
