What have I done – And Why do I keep doing this to myself..!?

Posted by Jamie D in DLM News

Well, I opened my big mouth didn’t I and had a whinge about the lack of quality bikes and features published in the Aussie Magazines as of late, or their unwillingness to move with the times ? Either way, their is a good number of us ‘weirdo’s’ that aren’t real happy with what we are ‘not’ seeing or reading in the mags!

Now, with the show kicking off, which is aimed directly at what we love and my recent whinge, late Friday night after some prompting from others, I decided to put up, rather than shut up, and announced that I’d kick off a magazine!

WTF did I do that for?

Now anyone that knows me personally, will know that I’m already juggling a tonne of stuff all over the bike and kustom kulture scene, but hey, with the help of some top peoples from all over Aus, hopefully we’ll be able to put something together to at least entertain you for a while, if not only provide you a giggle from our bumbling, bad spelling and over exposed photos !? Yep, were going in to this with ‘no idea’ – but what we do know, is were going to have a good amount of fun giving it a red hot go..!!

As an FYI, in my defense, I’ve wanted to have a go at doing some sort of magazine for some time now, and about a year or so ago, thought of doing it under my Chops’s Place Website Banner – but the scope of that site, is/was too wide open and what I really wanted to do was a Mag to cover mine and my mates love of Vintage and Kustom Hand Built Motorcycles in Australia..!

The Initial intentions are to run this mag as an independent zine with maximum involvement of some top folks from all over Australia ! A magazine to showcase not only the bikes and builders, but also the business’s who support them/us.!!

For the first couple of issues, I’m planning on doing online only versions, to gauge interest Levels and confirm that all this extra work, will have a purpose, if not – no mess, no fuss – I’ll go back to doing, what I already do..! Living life, as large as possible..!

That’s it for now folks, I’m already out there researching publishing solutions and chasing filler for the Zine, so all going well I can launch the first issue, before the bike show !

Regards & Respect,
Jamie (Chops) Day
