GasGas Rider from South Africa in Aussie Dirt Bike Mag?

[Bearman]

Hey guys,

Was flicking through an Aussie Dirt Bike Mag the other day (Australasian Dirt Bike Magazine) and noticed a letter in their from a feller in South Africa who was a GasGas rider. he was saying his brother in law bought him an ADB magazine at duty free, and he was writing about how he wouldnt get to see another one.

So I was wondering if anybody on here was that GasGas Rider from South Africa, because ADB published your letter in their magazine, and said that you can subscribe to them from their.

Just wondering if he was actually on this site

Hey Bear, remember the name of the guy?

 

[Bearman]

Now that's an idea Dingo, why didn't I think of that. He was a bloke from Durban named Mark Ford

 

[Dingo]

Mark is Brains on this forum, and a friend of mine. Great guy, excellent rider. Hes one of those that the tougher the ride, the more he grins.

Thanks Bearman, I'm glad that Dingo picked up on the thread.

It was one of those spur of the moment things, never really thought that they would publish it!

Hey! I'm famous

Bear man, any chance of scanning it and sending it to me? brains2@iafrica.com

Many thanks in adavance.

Thanks BM, good to see it in the flesh. What was that Reedy replica? Chad Reed?

 

[Bearman]

Yeah, it was just a new RM-Z450 made to look like Chad Reed's new race bike, just without all the factory parts. So it had the graphics and the pipe and coloured rims etc.
