I was wondering what mags you guys read when at work or bored that are bike related? I have read "ride" which is not too bad but are there any real good mags out there.. I seem to have a lot of time on my hands nowadays at work Very Happy

nope see Kwashima's post about magazine cover ups , best mags? forums , you can ask 1000s of people about their true life experiences of such bikes,

hell other than VD which other forum has :

a VET a real vet
an Oracle
many computer programmers
a photoshop workshop
a workshop type area

magazines can't complete , unless you are somewhere sans net connection

Bike magazine for me Thumbs Up at the end of the day most mags review the same bikes as each other every month, but Bike has noticeably better writers in my opinion and tends to have a couple of very interesting articles, usually something on touring and an entertaining piece of gonzo journalism (complete HST wannabe) from Dan Walsh.

PB for me, at the end of the day though it depends what you're into really, if projects etc.don't interest you PB may not be your cup of tea.

fast bikes for me. the writers seem really genuine in it. makes for a good read. and you get free stuff with it monthly Razz

was considering subscribing to it.
just bought the latest one and their current subscription offer gives you a free set of oxford sports panniers if you do.
as i was looking at getting a set of these panniers anyway i thought i'd subscribe n get em for free Very Happy

None, but I always say that I want to get one to read when I am taking a crap. But then I walk into the shop to look for one, but cannot justify spending £3.99 on some toilet literature.

Currently subscribe to T.W.O. because I'm a fan of James Whitham and Niall Mackenzie.
I've been seriously considering defecting over to Ride though, mainly for the product reviews, "Ride Recommended" etc

I would get Streetfighters if anywhere near me sold it Evil or Very Mad.

I would get a subscription but I'm too damn tight fisted lol.

but don't you find each months Two looks identical. The covers are always soo similar, I got it for over a year and got bored with it.

One thing about me though I like bikes, but i'm not interested in MotoGP, WSB,BSB etc, thus Bike bores me and half of MCN is a no go area.

PB and Classic Bike, i prefer the DIY aspect both of them have. Bike and Ride annoy me a bit because theres never anything that isnt standard in there.

RiDE for me, I find its the most real world kind of mag, and I like the way they review older bikes too, not just the latest load of new 600s/1000s
