I got my first free issue last week.
Here's my email response to them:
So back in the day, the '80's, I read Motorcyclist cover to cover a zillion times an issue. I made copious notes as I rebuilt my RZ350 motor to specs in Motorcyclist; that motor screamed! I read maybe a few articles on HD... The Sportster to CR conversion was cool, but today...
Fast forward to 2011 and I get my first free issue...wow, what let down. The issue starts strong with King Kenny and God himself, Gary Nixon (RIP). Then it proceeds to suck ass in a big way; Harleys on pages: 36 - Me & My Bike (The Doobie Brothers??? I thought they were all dead), 38 - First Ride, 40 - First Ride, 42 - First Ride (OK it's a Victory, whatever...), pgs 54 to 57 - Idiot's Guide to Poser Land, pgs 58 to 61 - Bagger's Banquet, pgs 62 to 65 - Going Gently - "I'm a Trike Fag", 76 - Doin' Time, pgs 78 to 80 - Streetbike Surgery, p 82, Star Warrior (Its a Yamaha, I'll let it slide), 88 - Answers, Back Cover - HD Ad.
You can keep the rest of the issues for my "free" subscription.
The old adage is true, "You get what you pay for."
