Motorcyle magazines.

[Geordie Oldie]

My interest in motorcyles was kindled by buying a " Bike" magazine around 1977, the cover was " A £50 box of Triumph parts becomes project Bike" as far as I can remember.

 

Since then I have been an avid consumer of motorcycle literature even when i didnt have a bike,  Bike remains my favourite but going back I liked Superbike, motorcyle mechanics, Motorcyle sport, MCN, The used motorcyle guide.

 

Magazines are so expensive now, I subscribe to Readly.

 

Off the top of my head, Bike,Classic bike,Classic bike mechanics, Fast Bikes, Ride, road rider ( Aussie), motorcycle sport, MCN, More bikes, there may be more.

 

Readly costs me 12 quid a month but I can share it with my wife and son, she likes knitting and crochet magazine, plus all the misery porn ( Take a break, Bella,  Best, loads more), my son likes Viz Comic and history magazines, there are loads of them.

 

I like the shooting and gun magazines both  US and UK.

 

If you search " Readly" you will see adverts for a short free sub, I think I got 3 months free.

 

I have no connection with Readly other than thinking is very good value.

Thanks @Geordie OldieI'll have a look at Readly.

Thing is with magazines, they offer too many opportunities to spend money.

Thanks for the tip, @Geordie Oldie! I agree, magazines can be tempting with all the interesting content they offer. Readly sounds like a great way to access a variety of magazines, especially with the free 3 months.

classic motorcycle mechanics is a good one

I loved the Used Bike Guide - is Readly any good on a phone or do you really need a tablet of some description?

I had a look and seen they did my favourite motorcycle magazine , Ride, so just signed up for the two months free.  Looks pretty good with a good selection of reads.  Thanks for the heads up

I got a 6 month subscription for Classic Motorcycle Mechanics digital only, it works ok, I read it on an android tablet, you can biggen it to suit yourself. I can't see any reason it wouldn't be ok on a phone.

Lots of offers on Pocketmags for similar groups of mags. (digital) Defo worth investigating if you like perusing magazines.

One of the few things I miss about one of my old jobs working nights at a petrol station was being completely in charge of ordering newspapers and magazines. That petrol station had the most well stocked biker section you could believe 

 

Bike, Ride, Back Street Heroes, Motorcycle Mechanics, Fast Bikes, streetfighters.......   I even had the American mags like EasyRiders and Iron horse

I use press reader. It's a similar sort of thing with hundreds of magazine's and news papers. You can get it free if you are a member of most libraries.
