Default What do you want in a cycle magazine

If you could have anything you wanted in a Cycle magazine, what would it be. I would like to see more things that pertain to everyday riders. What Rides people take, what rallies they attend and what motivates them to stay into biking, and Harley Davidson. What upgrades they have made, tips for newcomers Etc. So lets hear it. What do you want.

I want to see them do more tech stuff, a project bike that is budget not bling, and product reviews on all cruisers, not just a select few. And maybe a group comparo.


...and lots and lots of neekid womenz.

I would have to agree with you. I'm tired of looking at pictures of what these guys with seemingly endless money are doing... with a limitless shop, and probably financial sponsors/backers.

Pretty much every one of us average owners does stuff to their bike, saves their pennies, learns from mistakes, and answers the same questions over and over on forums like this (that last item is not a complaint... I do it too, no doubt)

No friggin' whacked-out customs, no friggin' garbage barges, no friggin' chromed-out stockers. Give me bobbers, mild chops, and other hard-core road bikes. Couple 'em with tech articles, especially stuff done by home-builders with normal tools, and not a million dollar shop. And iffen ya gotta have smelly ol' wimmens in the rag, don't drape 'em all over the bike so's I can't see the details! (It's OK iffen they stand behind 'em, though! )
