while your surfin check out bikernet.com
I'm gonna follow this thread. Seems like there just aren't any quality mags out there. The only purpose I have for them is something to read when I go out to the garage to smoke, otherwise it's the internet. Motor Cyclist is the only one I have been renewing my subscription on. Not a lot about Harleys, but their opinions and editorials are honest and interesting.

I look thru most of them on the shelf and buy the ones that have the articles I want to read or bikes I want to take ideas from. Hot Bike, American Iron, Iron Horse...used to pick up V-twin every once-in-a-while, but haven't seen it around lately.

I used to get Vtwin, what a mistake. It is 70-30 Metrics vs. Harleys.
The funny thing was, they would have decent "how to" articles that were always Harley based. But their featrured bikes were always Metrics and they even had a column Metric of the Month.
I haven't been too sold on the print publications, since most still lean toward the Chrome Monster Chopper scene (you know, the thousand pounders with a 125ci engine, 10' long bikes, etc...the type of bike that gets 10 miles a year put on it, mostly from rolling from the garage and into the trailer to the show and back again).
American Iron is still pretty solid, so if Iron Horse. Best thing to do is walk into a Barnes and Noble or Borders book store, buy a coffee and sit with a stack of the mags
