Are biker mags getting harder and harder to find . They I have dwindled down to zero and all the stores that I shop in .

 

You're asking this question on the Internet.

Which is also your answer.

Print media is dead.

 

Lots of gun mags on the shelfs.

 

The magazine rack in the local drug store is down to 2 shelves about 3 foot wide. They used to have half an isle of magazines.

Like 0maha said, print media is dead. There aren't even any **** magazines anymore.

 

It kind of surprised me **** mags would even still be around due to the internet. Or pretty much ANY magazines.

What is also kind of a mind blower to me is ALL the mail we are still getting. Sure proportionally there is a greater % of "junk" mail but still..... I really figured the number of postal employees would have dropped significantly due to the internet and on line bill paying as well as now changing delivery from 6 days a week to 5 or 4 days a week.

 

They have dropped the number of postal employees in our area. There’s a lot of carriers that work for a private delivery agency and they are contracted out to deliver for USPS, most usually as part time.

The guy that delivers to my neighborhood when the main USPS delivery person is out is contracted like that.

 

I don't buy them, but I still see magazine isles at places. Like I said guns sure seem to booming. I've bought a couple reloaders, but never seemed all that fulfilling.

 

Post office booming. Amazon all the other internet ordering saved them.

 

They have become nothing but ads. Even most articles are puff pieces for an advertiser. There is no critical review for fear of pissing off an advertiser.

Above someone said the internet is what people use. I agree. You still get honest reviews, bad press or good, critical depth as the internet has micro experts on every subject. Then we have opinions, the bait, the key, the attraction for many internet comments.

But it is the honest Joe reviews, practical experience that makes the internet more valuable to me for even light reading. It is not a motorcycle magazine issue, gun mags are taking the same milk toast puff pieces on every new gun. I cannot believe that every new firearm is a average as they say. If it is crap, **** of the advertiser , but no magazine today will risk losing a vendors ads. With discount subscriptions, lack luster news stand sales, and higher printing and shipping costs, as long as an advertiser will through money at them, they will stay in business.

What I miss most is writers who really knew their subject, not the micro experts we have today. What I miss is writers who wrote what was wrong as well as what was right with a new bike, or gun, or fishing rod.

There is depth and reviews and true gut reactions on the internet and that is what is missing from male magazines anymore.

I just took a flight, I went to two stores to look for a magazine to read on the plane. Not one was worth buying.

 

That's because of the mindset for a lot of people that having one delivered to your front door or doing an online subscription leaves a trail that they fill uncomfortable with. Big brother is watching you......
