Wotcha,
As well as my day job which pays the mortgage, I run a local convinience store in the nice little seaside village of Aberporth in west Wales (come and visit, we are lovely).
As part of our range of goods, we are a newsagent and as such stock all kinds of magazines from trashy girly reads (Hello, Bella, Best, etc.) to the other kind of girly mag's
In amongst the range, we sell a few bike publications, MCN, Bike, Classic Racer, Practical Sportsbike, but I was thinking of expanding the range (at least over the summer months), so was wondering if anyone out there read these mags and could offer some suggestions of titles to run.
TIA.

BSH??
Back Street Heros?
Used to carry that, but nearly always got returned as most of the bike mag sales are to either youngsters with/wanting big ass superbikes, or older gits like me, who are more at home with the tourers and such like, so the moded/chopped scene is not that pevalent down here, but thanks for the suggestion

I like PS and Classic Bike best, fwiw. As for Aberporth, well I like that too - but prefer Cardigan (Mwnt e.g.) and, further up, Llangranog, (my personal fave - ye famous hidden cove), Cwmtudu, New Quay and Aberraeron.  ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."

Motorcycle Sport and Leisure is one I try and get but few places do appear to stock (larger WH Smiths normally).
I like it because it does try and cover the whole spectrum and not just focuses in on power ranger sports bikes and bike racing. ____________________ ...and the whirlwind is in the thorn trees, it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks...

Cheers for the input guys, have now expanded the range from next issues.
We stock several car mags and now fairly well represented on the two wheel front too.
Appreciate it.
Trevor Saxe.... Agree that all the places you named are lovely, not much to do as a day out if you are looking for commercialised areas, but great for a relaxing trip and sit by the sea.
Most of them have great facilities, beer, bacon, etc. and mostly bike friendly as a lot of bikers come here for hols and a blast on the roads as they are relatively good, not that busy in the summer and are full of fun twisty bits.
BTW, Aberporth has changed over the past couple of years, new owners to the cafe/chippy, really nice, the Pub is in process of expanding the sit down eatery, beach is still blue flag, plus, we now have the shop, so nice stock of booze and and expanding Bike mag range  ____________________ 2002 Rieju RS2-50 (Sold, spares or repair), 2010 Suzuki DR-125SM (Traded for ->), 2007 Honda CBF 600 (Sold), 2010 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 (Briefly, now returned), 2007 Suzuki Intruder 1800m (Even More Briefly, traded in for ->), 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 650 |
