If you think about it, right now is one of the coolest times to be involved with motorcycles. We have our super heroes and our super villians! Lots of cool bikes being built. The trendier things get, the stronger the subculture and counter-culture will get. I hope anyway.

I dunno if posting a reply here is the right thing to do or not, or if anyone is even interested. The most common complaint we get with Dice is the lack of tech stuff and I agree, it's small. The reason Dean and I started the mag was 'cos we were fed up with reading bike and hot rod mags that were, well boring I guess and didn't really have the content and the humour that we live with. It was supposed to be more of a mag about everything we liked with some of our lifestyle thrown in. It's about everything we talk about when we are having a pint down the pub, bikes, cars, girls, partying, Napoleon Dynamite, Hunter S, more bikes etc etc. My feeling is if you wanna know how to rebuild a BSA topend get a Haynes manual, that said the whole drinking article thing has got a little tired so the last couple of issues we have knocked that right back and have included more tech stuff but the mag is really a lot of fun for us to do. What we really like is all the wild, crazy, fantastic people we have met since we started and to try and have some of their personalities in the articles, apart from the bikes themselves, that's what interests us the most. We do it all for the lurve 'cos there sure as hell is no money in it. Magazine sales in general are down 'cos of the internet and stuff but there is nothing like owning something that doesn't exsist in cybaspace. Anyway, issue 11 is looking bloody great, look out for the Dice style bible pages, this issue is all about facial hair, very important for everyone on the JJ.

Matt, dont justify shit. DICE is the coolest fucking magazine out there right now, my only complaint is that it doesnt come out every month.

Hey Trent, yeah, you're right my man. It's just a case of, you can't please all the people all the time.
Fuck pleasing people. I have always thought of Dice in a totally different category than other magazines (FYI, I DONT read or buy ANY other magazines, the only magazines I buy are ones that have one of my bikes featured, and those just get tossed in a drawer). Dice, to me, is a magazine where guys who KNOW the tech involved can look at cool bikes. Fuck tech articles, if you dont know how to do it.. figure it out on your own.

Keep Dice just like it is, but make it monthly! ! !
