Magazines - Anyone still reading them?

[darthpunk]

A few mags have gone under in the last few years, just wondering who reads what?

I buy Ride and some times Bike/Classic Bike. Once in a blue moon i'll get a copy of Adventure Bike Rider. Get free trials of Readly every once in a while and flick through some bike/car/music mags.

Saw one through InstaFace called Adventum, https://www.adventum-magazine.uk/ , seems a bit more luxurious and aimed at the lifestyle crowd, at 12 quid it's a bit rich for me

[MrLongbeard]

Nope.
Stopped reading BSH many years back when they dropped a feature I enjoyed.
Last magazine I read and subscribed to was American V, but they stopped printing a year or 2 ago

Recently downloaded the 'Libby' app and logged in with my library card. 240 car and bike magazines available. A quick scroll suggests all the bike ones I've heard of are there + foreign ones (spotted a Spanish 'Dos ruedas' - 2 Wheels - mag).

The missus brought me an MCN from uk a few weeks ago. Not even opened ot.

I used to love going to shop on Wednesday to buy it on way to work then go straight to toilet to read it

[Rockburner]

I occasionally get one.

Bought Motorsport last month for the Hamilton/Ferrari articles which were interesting.

Sometimes buy Ride or Bike if I'm flying (i prefer to read from paper when aloft, no idea why), or if there's a particular article i spot.

I've got a subscription to Adventure Bike Rider, had it years, I wouldn't know how to cancel it.

[Taipan]

No. Haven't read magazine for years. I used to have a sub to Practical Photography, which was a present from my Mum, but that was about 2010?

This winter I bought a couple of copy's of Bike magazine when they, were doing 2 mags for £10 or something.For the last 2 issues the other mag has beeen Classic bike which now features such bikes as the original Africa Twin & Ducati 916,there's also a good interview in this months CB with Hoss Elm of Moto Cinelli fame,a good read & I wouldn't have known about the Ducati tales if the mag hadn't been bundled in a deal with Bike magazine.
One of my mates subscribes to Classic Mechanics but he's a 'Shed head' & spends more time spannering than riding...

[Mr Moofo]

I subscribe to Readly so access most things I would want

[Skub]

Maybe once or twice a year I'll buy a bike mag,or MCN.

The problem is,I'm not who I used to be when I was an avid mag reader and the publications seem a piss poor,watered down,sterile and humourless imitation of what I used to enjoy.

I don't think there's any fixing either of those things,time has moved on.

[Noggin]

I've never really read bike mags. I did recently take out a subscription for a Cross Stitch magazine but that's the only one I get and if I'm in the uk I might get an extra one if the patterns in there look good

[Dodgy69]

Don't buy any but my neighbour drops mcn through the door. Read what I want in 30 /40 mins.

[Buckaroo]

I also use Libby for magazines. I just checked under the mattress but it looks like the Mrs has dumped that stash of boyhood mags

What I do buy are books on particular motorcycle makes:Honda, Guzzi, Harley etc. Plus motorcyclist based books. Currently reading Dunlop. Brilliant photography and often truly heart rending stories. What a family!!

[asmethurst99]

I buy Private eye - I might buy Bike once a year - MCN for the train perhaps
Liked Practical Sports bike .

[Pirahna]

December 2023 my father asked if I'd renew his subscription to Classic Motorcycle for his Christmas present, which I did. He died on March 8th last year so I redirected the magazine from Ireland to me in Spain. I've read a couple of them, there's seven left to go through.

[Cousin Jack]

I buy one occasionally, often at an airport for reading on the plane. Usually abandon it in the hotel.

[David]

I get OntheLevel (LE club mag) and Real Classic. SWMBO'd gets flash country house or something like that...

[MyLittleStudPony]

Like steam trains, they were good in their day.

I haven't read one for years.

I've never heard of that?, how does that work then? All online? no physical magazine I guess? Might be good on a tablet, rather than a computer.
