  1. Apparently Ken Wootton's been deposed.

    Mick Matheson is now Editor.

    Kind regards

    Does that now mean that Clem might have a better chance of getting a
    AMCN jumper?

    wow, when did this happen? I thought the Woose was doing a good job. It'll
    be interesting to see what Mick can do.

    Geddout!
    Matho's got a string of failures behind him... Woose must've done
    something seriously unpopular!!

    Actually I though Boris was the heir-apparent (especially after Sam left
    the fold)
    This is all very curious!

    That'd give a fair percentage of their readers apoplexy...

    Sounds good to me, the mag was getting very predictable and too racing
    focused for me.

    Going by the stories told by someone who used to work there, Woose's
    weirder than a hermit on mescaline.

    I have only met him once and I formed that view relatively quickly.

    Getting?

    I like the bike tests.. if a bike doesnt do laprecords round the
    island, its automatically a heap of shit. Even if it was a Goldwing or
    similar...

    I like Boris' column and "road tests" but there's a reason why I buy
    AMCN and not Ozbike. Mind you, I stopped buying Ozbike after Boris left...

    Or, having been at the mag since, what, 1988, he might've had enough of it.

    Agree about Mick Matheson, though; he hasn't got Wootton's juvenile
    streak, but he needs to learn that not bikemags read better when they
    don't come across like a direct transcript of a pub conversation among a
    group of brickie's labourers...

    Yeah; maybe he wants to move back to Melbourne too.
    It'll be interesting to see if he retires or if he goes to an Opposition
    mag.... (Or Foxtel?)

    Nev.. Guest

    Ducati GP bike has the fastest timed speed down the straight doesn't it?
    therefore not a heap of shit I guess..

  19. It must have happened Monday or Tuesday because I spoke to him at
    Winton last Sunday and there was nothing to suggest he was "moving
    on".

    The ppl who told me were very surprised and they had only just heard
    it. That was Friday lunchtime - 2 days ago. They also knew Mick
    Matheson had been appointed which suggests that ACP top ppl made the
    decision and carried it out Tuesday/Wednesday after deadline.

    Kind regards
