I have a subscription, but won't sign back up as its like flipping through commercials on the boob tube to find a show with more than 17 minutes of content per 1/2 hour.

Honestly - I get more value here - anything I want to know is a search or post away. And I feel it comes with less bias; commercially speaking. Also, I don't have to wait for three months to see a project or advise on a project get completed.

I'm not going to build a custom any time soon - so looking at them (two or three per month) doesn't do much for me.

I'm letting my subscription expire. Just too many slick ads, and absolutely not interested in their mega dollar customs they feature with picts and write-ups. Although this new issue has an excellent write up with picts of a gorgeous, fully restored '66 FLH Shovelhead. I read and reread that.
I let my HOG sub expire too, and then they then sent me a cut rate offer to renew. I sent them back my counter offer to renew --2 years for the price of 1---and they declined, but said they would keep me on the mailing list for further offers.

I Still get Cycle World and pay full price for that mag. Have for years. I don't want to miss an issue of that mag.

I've been a subscriber for a few years. Cheaper than the newstand and the only mag I get. Overall it's okay, as it's been said alot of the articles have the same slant by the same writers/editors.

AIM is the only subscription based biker magazine that I like. Some very useful tech discussions every month and great bikes featured as well.

I know what the rest of you are saying about ads...when a mag starts out it is void of ads and filled with content. As the circulation/subscription increases so does the ad space... I guess that's what it's all about :-)

AIM has a pretty good balance...
