Title: ZG get's magazine cover shot!
Post by: ZG on April 10, 2012, 06:47:21 PM: So it sounds like some folks received their copy in the mail today, so now I can finally share this!

I was told not to tell anybody until it was out so I had to keep it bottled up inside of me for the past month... (http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/jaywilcox/wait.gif) (http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/jaywilcox/crazy1.gif)

Here it is, my first cover shot!! I think I'll be hanging a copy on the wall of the man cave, my 10 seconds of fame... 8)

Should I host an autograph signing event with free beer and lots of ladies in bikini's?? (http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/jaywilcox/smiley_dunno.gif) ;D ;)

It's a heated Corbin with the Corbin smuggler trunk.

Thanks Max!

Yep, I took the pic, I liked alot of other shots much better than the one they went with, but I think they wanted a more "touring" look than "sport" look (ie my no bags shots)...

But either way all good IMO, I was just stoked that they even contacted me to take some pics for them for the spring cover, it was a first for me, and something I'll always hold on to! :)

Now back to the subject .... Congrats ZG and I see that they wanted the slower "sport Tour" color. 8) ;D :-X ;)

Post by: Jeremy Mitchell on April 11, 2012, 08:55:34 AM: I figured they would do an actual article about your bike instead of a little blurb telling those of us who didn't know who's bike that was. I still wonder if you ever ride since I have yet to see a speck of dust on your overly pigmented, rolling farkle machine. ;D

10 seconds you say, who are you again?

Did you say free beer and ladies in bikinis? Oh yes, now I remember who you are. ;)

Post by: VirginiaJim on April 11, 2012, 12:12:02 PM: Guys, keep this on topic, especially with the pics. One more 'incident' and I'm locking it.
Title: Re: ZG get's magazine cover shot!
Post by: OregonLAN on April 11, 2012, 12:23:48 PM: Wow, really???

The picture I posted of ZG's head photochopped on Borat's body wearing a swimsuit was really worth deleting? I guess some people just don't have a sense of humor.

While you're at it, the picture of the swimsuit model is "off-topic" too...
