Cindy & Duncan Bennett Editors’ Report
We come to our third 11 Journal cycle as editors, some quick work behind the scenes with the calculator gave 11 x 3 = 33 Journals. Klaus and Kerri (K2) will suffer our “laying on of hands” shortly in preparation for our big trip next year, which will see our Journal continue its run that exceeds most magazines, we have 10 years on Rolling Stone. The BMWMCQ Journal is up there with Playboy with its first edition in December 1953, not that anyone in the club would be familiar with that obscure publication because it rarely features a cross-over with BMW motorcycle products. I know because I spent hours Googling it, being editor demands that level of thoroughness and attention to detail while Cindy’s out staring at her R1200C. In the interest of seeing our Journal’s market penetration, perhaps a bad word to use so soon after the last paragraph, we can get the ISSUU reads which is about 30,000 world-wide. We lack a bit of interest in the ‘stans and sub-Saharan Africa (why didn’t I click when in Mali dammit?) and Greenland but otherwise our collective exploits are known across the globe. A better way to become famous might be available, but not without fronting a Magistrate, so keep the articles coming. Cheers Duncan & CIndy
