Default No more American Rider magazine!!!

Got an issue of Ride magazine today...was not sure why until I the special cover page...no more American Rider. The rest of my subscription will come as Rider.

Even though Rider is a quality mag, I just don't care to read about metric bikes as I don't own one anymore. Guess I ride out my current subscription and see how they do and I'll decide at the end of the year as to whether I renew or not.

Read the same thing. Big Big disappointment. Like you, not interested in metrics at this point. Will not renew when my subscription runs out. It was only for 6 months anyway

Ithought it was just me, I just re-newed my subscription to American Rider and they throw this rag out in it's place. Joe Minton is MIA.

I don't mind Rider, but I will miss Joe Minton's column in American Rider.

I saw the new issue today at my parents. I flipped through it and it made me real glad that I didn't renew my subscription in the spring.
In my oppinion it is not nearly as well written, I couldn't get into at all. I'm going to miss American Rider.
