Welcome to the January 2014 issue of Kiwi Rider. You might have noticed there’s a change in the hot seat here at Kiwi Rider Towers. We’ll be striving to bring you

the latest bikes, the best features and most up to date event news to make Kiwi Rider the most relevant and indispensable read for Kiwi riders.

We’re going to be getting out on our bikes, doing the same stuff as you – riding and enjoying bikes in what is one of the best countries on the planet for motorcycles. There’s everything from MX and enduro through what is acknowledged to be the best trail and adventure riding anywhere, all the way to long distance road touring and track days.

New Zealand is an amazing place to own

a motorcycle. You can ride all year round and even though Spring has only just sprung, we’ve already had some cracking weather for riding...and we’re still only just into December. I’ve got my finger’s crossed this is going to a glorious summer for getting out and about on bikes and enjoying the variety of riding there is to be done here in New Zealand.

In that regard, we want to hear from you and what you’re up to. Email us or why not visit our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/KiwiRiderMagazine) and share your motorcycling moments. Tell us about your favourite rides or places to go, what you like about the magazine, what you don’t and what you’d like to see more of. We’re looking forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, ride safely and have fun. See you out there.Ben wilkins, editor.
