Magazine Thread

[MarkE]

I first heard of HU through Motorcycle Voyager magazine here in the UK, which was good with more emphasis on the "voyager" than on the "Motorcycle" bit of the title. Sadly it's no use to you as the magazine is no more (I was one of the lucky ones as my subscription had only one issue left when they stopped publishing, others are owed a full year or more). Before that I read Motorcycle Sport for many years, but it changed to just another porn mag (pictures of bikes for children who wanted one but couldn't have one, same as the other sort really) about the same time it changed its name to Motorcycle Sort & Leisure IMHO.

I fear the fate of MV is a symptom of the market for magazines that are not just biker porn for wannabes; there isn't enough of a market to support the production costs. The question is, are we all too busy spending our money on travel to buy a magazine, or does HU satisfy our every need, so we don't need to pay for a magazine? I do prefer to read a magazine in the bath - dropping the laptop would be expensive!
