Southern Rider is on the look out for authors to write about various topics including the obvious, motorcycling. We regular new articles for our members to read. The articles will be posted in either the forums or in your own blog, and members will be able to ask questions and or make comments on the artlicle or blog.

This is not a job but a hobby and some fun for our members so we are on the look out for a motorcyclist that also enjoys writing, about his/her travels, someone that does the odd test ride and then do a great write up, some one that can even write up articles on the odd current affair that may effect motorists and in particular motorcyclists. You will become a member of the site and join in on the fun, and our growing community.

This not just for one person but for whoever wants to become an author for the site. If this sounds like you contact Nighthawk

Southern Rider Member Only Rally

Just over 3 and bit weeks away for the cut off date so get those entry forms in. Those that are in Christchurch this is a good chance for a weekend away from the stress of all the shaking come along for a stress free weekend (let the organisers have all the stressing for the weekend). Some great prizes and fun to be had. For more info click here.

Christchurch Earthquake

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those in Christchurch. With the buildings already weakened from the original quake and ongoing aftershocks to be hit by this huge aftershock. This difference for this shock is that it was a lot closer to the CDB and alot shallower than the original quake. Again out thoughts and prayers are with you.

When you get a chance let every one know you are okay... remember you are not alone in this time of need. click here

We hope you had a good break and are ready to get back into it. The event calendar is full with stuff on, and the rally list is getting full as well. We do have a few plans for the site in the up and coming year but the do rely on members advertising Southern Rider to get our numbers up... I can only take it so far. The more you put in the more you will get back from the site and we hope soon this will start to show to many of our members. Thank-you for your support to building your site.
