Question Motorcycle Magazines

Which motorcycle mag do you read and find most informative? I find the www. to be best but, what about mags.

I have been getting Easyrider since the early 80's but find Hot Bike and Hot Bike Bagger best for me. How about you?

Easyrider has gone from Joe-Average builder to untouchable builds. I lost a lot of respect for that mag. It's not what it used to be. I'll read it if someone gives it to me, but dropped my subscription 2 years ago, after many years.

I read The Horse religiously, and hate that it's only 6 mags a year. I also read Dice Magazine.

I have mad respect for people that take a less than stunning bike and make it something that most people would kill for. I like solo seats, rigids, springers, more-is-less and chrome isn't always beautiful.

I read, Hot Bike, Bagger and a few others, but try to stray away from Blingy-Mags with show bikes and stuff that never sees the road. I like grass-roots mags with bikes people ride and not just wipe and show.

Billet-Barges are nice to look at, but if you're not riding them, then what good are they?

Same. I quit reading Easyrider 10 - 15 years ago. Read Hot Bike on occasion, not nearly as much as I used to, for the motor tech.
