Does anyone here subscribe to RiDE magazine?

Have you had the March issue yet? I was bought a subscription to it for Christmas but haven’t received the March issue (the first one of my subscription) has anyone else?

do you know what date it usually comes?

Would have thought the March issue would come out mid/end of february mate. Be very surprised to see march's issue out in January.

The march issue is out now. It hit the shops a few days ago.

I bought the February issue the week before Christmas, so I knew it should be out soon, but when I looked in the shop on Saturday it was the old issue with the 916 on the cover.

Gixxer500 I would agree but it seems that’s not the way the dates work anymore!!

As it happens I have the March issue open in front of me, so I know that it exists!

Just ring the distributer and they'll probably send you another. It's either gone missing in the post or it's a little late as you're a new subscriber!

I had a subsciption a few years ago and the first mag arrived in April!
Was the subsciption from Ride or from one of the present type from WH Smiths.
Either way keep a check on how many you recieved throughout the subsciption term and dates as i found one missing. If it takes to long contact the supplier.

Couldn't agree more Soulrider. It's something that has baffled me as long as I've been reading Magazines, although it used to just be one month ahead... 2 months early seems bonkers!

I fancied a subscription once but I realised I only bought about 1 in three editions - came to the conclusion I could only read so many 600cc tests and read about how to go faster around corners.

Some parts of it are good, some bits of it are getting to be tosh though. Shame, it was far better 18 months ago! Confused

I too very rarely buy bike magazines nowadays as like Villers says, it is often the same thing that you read over and over again. I used to prefer Superbike mag to any of the others but that just gets repetitive in the end. Very Happy
