I read Baggers and American Rider, they both deal with bikes I can relate to.American Rider also features alot of cool ridesand routes to take. I sometimes pick up American Iron but Ithey don't really feature bikes Ican relate too, it will be interesting to see what happens with them after they got the input of the HD forum.I also get Easyriders and Biker forthe uh.... articles (OK I like to look at topless women on motorcycles)
I like American Bagger. Informative and varied technicalarticles you can use. They evaluate and install many different components and include step by step instructions for the do it yourselfâers like myself. There are varied articles, some parts that I cannot relate to, but can be of interest to you and some components I would use and that is terrific.
When I was in Sturgis, I drove by their headquarters near Spearfish canyon, after Leman Trike. These guys actually work on bikes for customers and really test this stuff for themselves right there. They had lifts and real tools. No photoshoppped grease but the real thing on the tools. Much more credible than other Pump & Fluff Magazines with guys with pink crocodile polo shirts, loafers and no socks.
I had to call to find a part & where the Turbo Mfg. was located. They were helpful and friendly, did not brush you off, like who the f*uk are you and I am a celebrity crap. They took the time to give me a personal detailed test description and told me all of the possible negatives along with the positives. A guy by the name of Murdock actually rides this bike every day (I guess not when the snow falls) and he was not too busy to help me out. He stopped what he was doing and got right on the phone with me. It was a cool turbo for a bagger.
Ditto The Horse. Best mag I ever picked up. Kinda pricey for a subscription though. Real bikes made by bikers, not some rich guy who bolts alot of chrome onto his already $30K bike, or the other rich guy that throws money at a builder till a bike is finished and then never rides it. Great tech articles too. I like Hot Bike Baggers for pics of baggers and some other ideas.
