What motorcycle magazine do you subscribe to and which ones do you buy at the store?
I subscribe to Motorcycle Cruiser, RoadBike and recently Robb Report Motorcycling. MC for obvious reasons, RB because it is located in Connecticut and has a leaning to cruisers as well as some good local rides, and RRM because it is a high quality magazine with interesting articles (cool glossy pics). I usually buy Cycle World, Rider, & Road Rider if they have in interesting article or test a bike I like.

Road Bike and Cycle World
Road Bike, Rider, Cruiser and I guess I'm gonna have to try Baggers since they put my Nomad in their April 08 issue. No story or bio about me or my bike, just my bike and a caption "Another nice metric bagger". But, thousands of people will be looking at my bike.
Ride safe,

I subscribe to:
Rider
Hot Bike Baggers
Cycle World
Motorcyclist
Motorcycle Cruiser
I probably won't renew CW and Motorcyclist. I don't care about racing or sportbikes.
When I can find it, I buy All Metric Roadbike at the newsstand. Very occasionally I'll pick up an HD-oriented rag.

My wife got me the latest Bagger and I am one of the ones that saw your bike. I hope in some future issue they will do a couple write ups on metrics.

Cycle World
Rider
Motorcycle Cruiser- I miss Jamie Elvidge
Motorcyclist
I also get Car and Driver and Road & Track. I read every word of those two, but the bike ones I skim some of the stories on sport bikes. I remember starting to read Cycle World in 1982, before the sport bike explosion. I miss the way it was before.
The only one I guess I subscribe to is the American Motorcyclist, the one with the AMA. Others I just pick up when they come out.

Exactly how I feel about Cycle World. I used to get it back in the 80's and thought it was a great magazine back then, but now seems so much more into sportbike and racing now. Of course back then the only true cruisers were HD.

I think Motorcyclist has gone sportbike crazy since they hired the editor from Cycle World. I dropped both, but I occasionally read Cycle World for Kevin Cameron. I used to get Motorcycle Cruiser as well, but after Jamie and Art got the boot, it wasn't the same even though I like Mark Zimmerman, I didn't renew it also.

Cycle World is the main one I read, but I look at other publications as well. Some of the bike shops have free magazines that have local articles in them. I like free!

??? At one time or another I used to get them all, But have narrowed it down to 2, Rider which I subscribe to because of its coverage of most of what I like. And Road Bike because of its articles on accesories. Thats the long & short of it for me! http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif

Looks like I should give road bike a look. I've never picked one up.

I subscribe to Rider and (un-related) High Performance Pontiac.
I have to limit my mags to two or three because they start to take over the house.
I used to get Cruising Rider too.
