Yes that's right - my ugly mug, well actually my beautiful bike, features on the last page of the latest issue of RAPID magazine - showing a bunch of OPH pics.
Second row, second from left - that's ME! I'm PUBLISHED! :D

Thanks to K6 Dave (aka Davezx9r) for letting me know.
Dunno if it's worth spending the $8 to buy the mag though - wasn't really anything else there I thought interesting after flicking through it.

Whats so special about your bike? No offence but it is 7 years old.... Why would a magazine show it?

One of the photographers who is a regular on the roads that ty is a regular puts a whole bunch of photos on the back page of the mag. Take 10 seconds to look at the magazine next time you are in a newsagent and you will see. :roll:

I'll scan and post it. Personally i think RAPID mag rocks. It's the only mag in Australia that has any custom Jap bikes.

I must defend myself - my honour has been impugned! :D
The AMCN sticker was on the bike when I got it - I just haven't removed it yet cos i'm worried about the colour underneath - there's a MotoConcepts sticker on the other side in the same position - I agree, it must go.
If you look closely though you CAN actually see the KSRC sticker on the swingarm peeking through between my boot and the zorst.
I also have the url on the frame in front of my right knee - but I'm cranked over so much (not!) that it's out of view :(
As for the can - again not my choice but I love it - so poop to you ;)

As for the rack - well, some of us actually ride our bikes regularly and aren't just fair-weather-weekend-riders ( ;) ) so the rack is normally in constant use. This is probably the only shot Deeno's taken of me that doesn't have the huge RJAYS bag still on the rack too ;)

PS. Thanks Pabs for posting a scan - I have the actual shot but can't upload attachments through the work firewall :( and haven't pulled my finger out to setup a photobucket or equiv :oops:

Edit: I've actually uploaded it, clearer shot of the actual pic in the mag -
