I stopped reading biker rags when ER went south in the early 80s. Then did IH for awhile, when it was still righteous. Once mags went over a couple bucks, I was through. Yes THROUGH!
Occasionally, I will read one in the supermarket, but even jack rags are few & far between now, especially in a family supermarket environment, and most jacking material is online now.
So; NO.
Getting hard to find any motorcycle mags on the racks these days , at least in my area. Cycle Source is still one of my favorites still a bit of old school. The Horse back street choppers was another but its only available by subscibtion, cant find it on racks anywhere.Still enjoy American Iron and Road runner , its a shame what happened to moto magazines, I still like holding and reading paper.....
I used to subscribe to American Iron, but when it got where I could read the entire mag on one business trip (flight out, flight back), I stopped. Seems like three days after I got the new one, it was already fully read.
I'll have to try out Rider.
Yes, I'm old school too. I like reading a real, paper thing rather than requiring online access.
American Iron has been my favorite but with all the newer bike tech articles and the Indian brand showing up more and more, yes I know they are American. Thunder Press used to be pretty good but they have chopped the living hell out of it, latest edition is 50 pages. they used to be East and West regions, then combined that, more and more going digital, don't think I'll be renewing Thunder Press.
