American Rider is my fovorite for HD touring topics and info.
For me it's always been:
1. American Iron
2. Easy Riders

I'm going to have to look for American Rider now that I've moved to a Geezer Glide.

I subscribe to AIM and Easyriders, but still buy more at chapters.

A very close friend got me a subscription to a motorcycle mag for X-mas.

She knows I own and ride Harley and nothing else and spend a lot of time cruising on the highways.

So she got me "Motorcycle Cruiser".

I can not fault her intentions but the som of a beech is a metric bike magazine. [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

I give it away when it arrives to a wannabe in my office who is always talking about buying a bike but has never gone to any dealer to check them out.

Come next December I will ask her not to renew.

ORIGINAL: jcone

Hey, do any of you seasoned riders have a preference for any particular biker magazines?
I'm particularly looking to subscribe to something that gives a fair amount of attention to HD touring bikes...
If by "seasoned" you mean "old fart", I'll throw in my .02. [:-]
I've been a long time subscriber of American Iron Magazine. They do a good job of covering a lot of topics
of interest to most on this forum. Not just touring, not just racing, not just customs, but a good blend of
bikes and maintenance tips with lots of pics.

Both American Iron and American Rider are good. AI tends to have more interesting stuff and less of the "riding the Smokies in autumn" fluff. But AR has Joe Minton's tech column, and he is as good as they get. Donnie Petersen writes for AI; he's also good but tends to have more of a "sky is falling" approach.
