Any Aspiring Journalists on the board?

Hey GSers, I'm caught in a pickle here. For those who don't know (probably most of you!), I publish a motorsports magazine in Virginia. I try to publish at least one 2 wheeled article per issue...got caught without one this month and I'm out of time to do it myself. The one I was going to write (tech article) is delayed on my source...and I've got writers block otherwise. So, anyone feel up to writing a motorcycle piece? I can't pay ya. I can't guarantee what you send me will be published. Can't do much but give you 15 minutes of fame in a regional rag. It's pretty cool seeing your work published though.

The requirements:
Must be YOUR ORIGINAL work
I need it by 7 p.m. today (deadlines...welcome to publishing)
Should be about a page typed
Photos are a huge bonus
Specify how you want your byline/credit to read (remembering this is a family magazine!)

That said, it could be about a trip, tech related (though most of the mods to my GS have already been featured), humorous, etc. Just needs to be about a bike. Thanks!

Oh, and please send it in a text email or attached as a word document to: intake@octaneonline.com

If you want to see some other stuff we've published, see the site at http://octaneonline.com - the complete magazine is not published online, but the main stories are.

Just thought of another thing I CAN do for you! If we publish your story, I can send ya a t-shirt. Not much, I know. But it's what I got. And if you're working on something and can't finish by 7 - let me know. I can delay a few hours...but the final mag has to be printer ready by 6 a.m. tomorrow!! Thanks again to anyone interested.

OK I'll recycle something I wrote earlier...  like the eliminator/concours dilema... I can explain more and make it longer if you like.
Cool.
