Question Good Magazine?

So we like getting the monthly HOG magazine, can someone recomend another good motorcycle magazine? Used to get Cycle World, but tastes in bikes have changed. Suggestions?

Thank you - RJ

I've been a fan of Hot Bike, or American Iron. I pick them up in airports while I'm travelling.

American Iron or American Bagger.

Been reading AI for 2-3 years now, really enjoy it.

Most of the Cruiser type mags(AI , Bagger, HotBike) I think, become very repetitious in a year or so. I took HB for 2 years and thought they sent out the same issue over and over after a while. For me the only motorcycle mag is Motocross Action, at least that's my preference.

I don't subscribe to any of the mags, as was stated about they become repetitious. I'll scan at the rack and buy an issue if it peaks interest. I do like American Iron.

They all suck for the most part. I only like Thunder Press anymore. I pick it up at my local independent bike shop. It's a good excuse to stop and shoot the s%$# for a while.

I have a subscription to American Iron. I mostly just like to read about this bike builds and the Widgets section with new motorcycle products.
