Top Gear....the Magazine.

Post by Strika »

Caught up with a mate today for a quick lunch and while driving down there, I noticed an interesting Mag on the seat. It is a NZ mag based on the BBC series Top Gear. Articles written by the same people. It also has a bike test/review/opinion in each issue. My mate is marrying a Kiwi, and when over there last time he bought a subscription. Not bad for the tin top stuff, but the bike tests are a bit ....amatuer! They tested the ZX14 in the latest issue. A very unkowledgable account is written of it. It sounds like the person writing it has absolutely no idea about motorcycles and perhaps hasn't actually ridden it!!!!!! :lol:

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

Jeremy Clarkson hates bikes and the other two are riders, but not racers or anything like that. If you're interested, I have a mag that says what May and Hammond ride.
