RE: The HORSE BC
It's one of two rags I can usually stomach. Other rag is Iron Works. I hate billet barges & coontails. Horse is great, except when the editor gets too full of himself in his pseudo-editorials. Then it's a joke. Too many of the bikes are really not what I'd call riders, but little more than bar-hoppers. Bar-hoppers are OK, but sometimes ya just gotta hit the road for a year or so, and they just don't cut it.

RE: The HORSE BC
I read it . I agree with pococj about the editor. He can get too full of himself sometimes. Ironworks and American Iron are the only other 2 I read. They rest are either full of crap like HOT BIKE or are just a tired old rag like EASYRIDERS.

Only bike rag I will buy. I also buy their sister rags "ol' skool rods" and "car kulture DeLuxe". I like the home built bikes and hot rods. Oh, by the way the satin black is drying on the Super Glide in my garage as we speak...I think it looks bitchin. Now If I can just wait long enough for it to dry before I try to put it back together.

Probably shouldn't post this but that magazine could use some polish. It was one of the first I picked up because of the types of bikes in it, but I get tired of all the skanks. When I want to look at a bike magazine I want to see bikes and parts and how the tank graphics look with the custom frame, etc. I don't want to see some trashy disease bag draped over a cool bobber blocking my view of the bike. Sorry, but that's why I like Street Chopper. Less skanks more rides, and the bikes there are a little better quality. American Iron and Ironworks also are good.

RE: The HORSE BC
LOL, I hates it when some ditz covers up some detail I'm interested in. The story line will mention something the builder did, and then they either have one of Brad's skanks coverin' it up, or don't even have a pic of it at all.
Street Chopper??!! Is that kiddie-bike rag back again? Back in the day they showed the flashed out, over-the-top, equivalent of OCC crap. Do they have real bikes in it now?
I used to sub to American Iron, but it has too many billet barges, baggers, and advertising for the latest in chrome-wing-ding-bolt-on-piece-of-crap-for-RUBbie-trailer-queens. Makes me wanna puke. [8D] Liked Donnie's tech stuff, tho. And they usually have a great old bike in each issue, too. A bud has a sub to it, and I get to tear out anything that interests me.
Oh well, if'n we all liked the same turds, who'd get to holler, "Mine stinks worser than yers!

RE: The HORSE BC
Yeah that probably wasn't the best post for this thread. The HORSE BC is all about home built bikes, not bikes built for some rub to put in his garage and ride to hooters once a week. The bikes actually run, imagine that. Some of the bikes they feature may look like broke down piles of ****, but they have character and most get the **** ridden out of them. Some of the innovation used is unreal. I have seen bikes built for under 10k that will hold their own against and 75k billet barge. Most of you guys know the names Indian Larry, Paul ***, Jesse James, Chica, and Billy Lane. These guys were in the Horse years before Biker Build Off's were on TV every night and it was cool to have a "chopper shop" on every corner. I know there are different strokes for different folks but I can't stand fancy airbrushed paint jobs and tons of chrome. That **** just makes the bike more of a pain when you have to worry about scratching **** up.
