Just got magazine and there was an insert that it was last one. They are going to roll bagger articles back into AIM magazine in future. Must be unrideable big wheel Baggers are going the way the Choppers did a few years ago. JMHO

 

It's about time....

 

Printed magazines in general are just about extinct.
There is just not enough market demand out there for all of them.
Most are getting all the info they need via the web these days.

 

That's because they run these dumb *** articles that are only for the wealthy.
I want to read about things us common folks can afford.
Anyone one with a endless account of money can make and do almost anything.
I want to read about what I can do on a lower amount of income.
I stopped buying mags years ago because of it.

 

You bring up a very good point. I always liked articles I could relate to and things that I could do with my bike. I think that's why I like the forum so much. This place is jammed pack with great mod ideas, places & roads to ride, things to see in different areas of the country, tech advice, etc.

Leave out our occasional drama and stuff all this good info in a monthly magazine and it would sell a lot better than a rag featuring trailer queen big wheelers.

 

Most of those rags are just ads ads ads. I read The horse back street choppers, that's about it. That mag has guys building bike for under a couple grand, granted they are old rat bikes, but some are really sweet. I bought a bagger mag once..... Once.

 

I just read about bikes here....plenty good enough for me.

 

+1 ^^^^

 

Sign of the times. Its tough for any niche market or limited interest magazine to survive on its own today. Even the advertisers won't find value for ad space. The world is at our fingertips today, without accumulating stacks of paper.

 

I still miss Big Bike..........
