Alreet lads

I have been chatting with Griff about the possibility of putting together a little zine for MK this year. The idea would be for you guys to send me whatever you feel may be relevant, old photos, stories of previous MK's, drawings, cartoons, how too's, interviews, possibly stickers, an itinerary of the weekend, all that sort of stuff you may have expected to find in a zine bitd.

It will probably look along the line of an aggro rag/Fat zine in black and white with a coloured paper cover.

I would be compiling, editing and printing the zine but would need you guys to make it what it could be

At the moment the idea is that it would be free and just add to the great weekend that is MK but we may ask for donations which would ALL go into the MK pot for next year

It doesnt matter if you cant spell, draw or even ride a bike, we will consider anything and everything for entry into the mag and would love to get it up to 25 - 30 pages if possible

If we can use this thread to knock ideas around and people either pm or physically post me stuff to compile, that way its a fresh read for everyone

Editorial Staff of 4 or 5 now being sought, put your name forward if you fancy it lads

Thoughts gents

I'll have to get my crayons out

Great idea Clint, how about a vote off to decide on a name?

Just to get things going, I suggest Tenty Tooty

That's possibly the best idea you've had Lenny

A map of how to get back to the Hotel would be good got me, Wini, Swivel etc etc etc.

How about a guide to the top 10 al fresco toilet facilities compiled by our very own Retronaturalist72.

How about a follow up second edition after Mk with pictures of the racing, show and shine, drunken lunacy etc?
I'd buy both!

dp and chopper dude · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2015, 08:25 AM »

What about a downloadable PDF version for those that can't be arsed waiting for the post man. Plus if there was a follow up version it would be easier to distribute digitally. Any donations from the digital version wouldn't have the overheads associated with the print version. The print version is a great idea. I'd like one myself.
Let me know if you need any help getting it into PDF or if you want any paper ~~robbing~~ donating from work

Great idea Clint

Personally I'd like to keep it old school and have a real "paper copy" to keep

factory pilot · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2015, 02:53 PM »

How about a readers wives and girlfriends section to keep Dan happy!

oldschoolace · « **Reply #18 on:** March 11, 2015, 03:14 PM »

Probably stick with the oldschool paper format and scan the finished zine so those who want a digital copy can have one.
Like the idea of a follow up zine but i suspect this could take a fair bit of effort as it is without doing a second edition. Lets see how things go

Got a couple of worthy entries in already but this cant happen without you lot so dont be shy send me your contributions

How about putting this year's BOTM winners in there ?

Good idea in theory but there'll still be 5 mths worth of botm winners still not decided.

If this becomes a regular thing maybe the July -July botm winners could be in there.

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** March 11, 2015, 05:48 PM »

Maybe do a follow up one with all the MK winning bikes and their owners?

Also all the tales of what happened over the weekend

factory pilot · « **Reply #22 on:** March 11, 2015, 06:07 PM »

How about some photos from some of this year's rides both North and South ( London, Chester, Cleethorpes ) ?
How about a "me and my bikes" section ... Choosing a couple of people to show off their collection and talk about it?
There's plenty of Radsters with great collections .. Jono, Nick Swan, Dan etc and stories to tell

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #23 on:** March 11, 2015, 06:49 PM »

Great idea.

I suggest a section on How to safely secure Gazebos on the helipad.

Some great ideas already gents
