The only magazines I read are the ones at the Doctors offices. IMHO they are a poor place to spend avertizing dollars since readership is down so low. I can get newer and better info off the net.

My .02 cents
I won't touch a magazine at the doctors office, to many sick people with germs.[]

To answer your question, I read just about everyone that deals with american v twins. I have subscriptions to AIM, Hot bike Baggers, American Bagger, and Easyriders. Plus, I buy any of the others I see when somethig strikes me as to something I am doing, or plan on doing.
Same here and I always pick up the free copy of Thunder Press. I used to subscribe to Cycle World but gave that one up a few years ago. I currently subscribe to V-Twin and will let that one lapse as well.

I see Street Chopper has taken a nice turn if you're into the classic retro style custom. This latest issue (Dec 07) had a nice mix of bobbers, chops, Brit customs etc. And from the sound of the editorial page things are only going to get better. There's also a must read commentary on page 12 that exposes the bike mags for what they really are. How they don't reflect reality (by reporting trends), but rather conspire to set trends in an effort to keep their advertisers fat and happy...So what else is new?

I suscribe to Bike which is published in Great Britain. American motorcycle publishers could learn a thing or three from the Brits on how to make a really good magazine.
I also subscribe to Cycle World and Motorcycle Classics.
On occasion I pick up American Cycle,Bagger,and maybe a few others. I don't think they are overall very good mags but I'll read them when I'm bored.
