Your Favorite Motorcycle Magazine
 

Anyone have any they subscribe to, or at least pick up from the newsstand regularly?

I found one that I like, but it's friggin $25 for 6 issues. I'm trying to talk myself into subscribing. www.motorcycleclassics.com

anything not written west of the Atlantic Ocean

i get Rider and Motorcyclist for free, i prefer Rider

also american rider free too, HD stuff

Visor Down, aka Two Wheels Only. US mags suck.

Pretty much. I read some of the American mags, but the Brit mags seem much more honest. You almost need a translation guide to read American magazines.

Occasionally has a bit of headshake = tankslapper deathtrap
FI not as smooth as we would like = stumbles so bad you'd think it lost a cylinder
Suspension a little stiff = don't hit a bump if you want to keep your nuts
Riding position is racy/track oriented/tight = it will give you carpal tunnel looking at it on a dealership floor
Quirky/unique/different/etc. = breaks all the time and you can't get parts

The Brits are much more willing to call a POS what it is. Unfortunately I'm not willing to spend $12 or more for a single issue.

Got my yearly subscription for $67. I thinks its worth $6 a copy. :)

It seems like the publisher (Ogden Publications) doesn't really know what they want to be. They publish Motorcycle Classics and Gas Engine magazine, but they also publish Mother Earth News and run a carbon offset comparison shopping website. Hopefully there is no editorial crossover or you end up with an article on how to run your Eddie Lawson replica Kawasaki on fryer grease.

:lol:

Well they have an ongoing 'tutorial' I guess you could call it about restoring a CB500 Four. I am inheriting a CB 550 Four next month, so I just liked it.

I am going to go to Hastings sometime this week and look at what they have. I need a good classic/restoring magazine.

I hate all of the American rags with a passion! The ONLY reason they make it to my house is because they are free!!! I get Cycle World, Sport Rider and Motorcyclist which in reality means that I get "Motor World Rider". They are basically the same rag! Shit MC and SR had an article about the new BMW that used the exact same pictures and the same basic review as well. What a waste! If I had paid for both of these pos rags, I would be pissed. As it stands, I wish that I had spent that time on the toilet reading the backs of shampoo bottles instead!:panic:

Performance Bike > all the rest
