Old Bike Journos Never Die, they just....
Martin Taylor
following bike journos:
Justin D'Ath - Cycle Australia (I think)
Julian Scullin - CA
Kel Wearne - TW
Mac Douglas - TW
Peter Thoeming - Bike Australia
I cut my teeth on these fellows' bike articles when I was a young 'un.
It would be interesting to see if they're still around (alive, in the
industry, riding, etc.).

Rusty memories...but wasn't Kel killed in a road accident?

Currently editing 'Bike' (I think, anyway, it's one of the expensive
4 issues per year bike mags for old people)

Nah, the Bear is still around - has his own mag Australian Road Rider
(don't confuse with Australian Rider, which folded) aimed at touring
riders - and a bloody good read!
Often writes for Ulysses as well! You'll also see him doing bike reviews
in motor sections of newspapers
Cheers

That's ok, I read it too...quite interesting and good to get away from the
Dainese coffee shop crowd.

I like that "Get out of ..." series. The one on how to get from Melb to
Sydney via the interesting roads that the Hume doesn't touch was great.
Must do that soon!

In WA we regularly get Thoemig's articles in the Sunday Times motorcycle
section.

Until recently I had a house in Cooma that I had to visit fairly
regularly from Sydney. Its amazing how many different routes you can
find from Sydney to Cooma if you're not in a hurry (and you don't mind
the odd bit of dirt road). The same applies to most other destinations.
If you're planning the Mel-Syd trip, I recommend the road from Buchan to
Jindabyne - slow but scenic. Good dirt. Then, when you get to Jindabyne,
take the back roads to Adaminaby, then over the Snowy Mnt Hwy to Tumut
(life is tuff!). If, you're really serious, take the back roads from
Tumut to Crookwell, then thru Abercrombie caves to Bathurst, or thru
Oberon to Bathurst - either is a good trip. I can guarantee you won't
run into much traffic.

Australian Road Rider is the only mag I bother to subscribe to so as to not
miss a single issue, largely due to "The Bear"'s Fine editorial input and
direction.

Bugga, I liked his writing. I particuraly remember an article he wrote
on the then new MkIIa Norton Commando, ridden and tested on the GOR.
