motorcycle magazines
How many of you buy/read or subscribe to motorcycle magazines?
I rec'd a free issue to Baggers magazine a few months ago and for some reason (I forgot now) I liked that particular issue.
The next month I couldn't find it at WalMart so I sent in the subscription card for two years. It was really cheap.
For the last 3-4 months the pics of the monthly featured bike have turned into some kind of freak show. It's all about rims and how weird they can make it look. Hardly looks like a motorcycle anymore. Sorta reminds me of the thugs around here...$4000 rims on a $500 ride.
I won't renew this subscription!
Any thoughts?

My sub for cycle source just ran out (great mag !) and since I have a bagger, I read my friends' american bagger mag each month.
I wish someone would bring out a mag on baggers but with some common sense, like cycle source and not too much bling and crap.
Hot bike just might be the next sub to get.

American Iron is usually good stuff, I dig the Tech articles. But I enjoy The Horse from cover to cover. I'm sure riding cobbled together bikes for 25yrs has probably skewed my opinion.

American Iron and Cycle Source are good. I still like In-the-wind for the biker lifestyle pics. I'm not renewing Easyriders, I've had the subscription for a long time but I'm sick of the trailer queen bikes that don't even have exhaust soot in the pipes because they've never been started. 20 pages of aftermarket wheel advertisements. That magazine has gone to ****.
