Anyone else been contacted by a bike mag?

[Tori]

A certain bike mag has contacted me (I think) via this site, asking if I'll do a write up on 'How my gazer has changed my life' lol

Just me?  :eek

[GringoRojo]

ride magazine? did you fill in the riderpower survey?

I used to get emails from various bike & ride journos (lisa steele being one I recall) inviting me down to peterborough for a test - the "fee" would be a bacon butty. I was tempted for a few seconds.

yes tori, i think all the admin have, and as the writer says some other "gp heroes" on the site, they are after something a little different read here

Specifically, he's after 100 - 150 words (by 'phone or e-mail) saying how someone has had their life changed for the better by becoming a Fazer 600 owner. 

I'm sending the same query to another half dozen or so mods/admins/GP Heros off the forum in the hope that someone will be willing and able to help out, or at least point him to another forum member who can.

following a used test thing on an FZS600. Will need a suitable pic – modified bike? FZS in Africa? Long distance? High miles? Track day bike?

Ok, this Simon is calling me back tonight. I'm prepared to offer him something but Id like something in exchange. I let you know how I get on!

Something in exchange!!!!!
You get the glory of having your name mentioned in a national bike magazine, surely that's reward enough.

You don't know what I'm going to ask yet do you! Judge ye not!

The mag want a review/article for an fzs. I don't even ride an fzs, I ride an fz6. I was trying to get a good plug for the site in exchange. I have recommended he speaks to Rence about his Lands end to john o groats and back in 48 hours, as I think it'd be a great advert for the fzs. In exchange, Foc u will get a mention and hopefully, our affliation to the bmf

They can use my post of the week if they like.

I thought Portsmouth to Glencoe in 8 hrs was good going  Lands End to JOG and back in 48hrs would be knackering

Not this time, although the last time I was it was Ride and my ugly mug appeared next to a (rather tame for me) slating of the KTM.
THEN I tried to sell it two weeks later, mibbes not my best move with hindsight...
:rollin

Hopefully Rence will appear shortly and tell us how it went
