Winter is almost here, and I need some literature. (Yes, I will read Total Control.)
The British/US magazines in shops here are:
American Iron Magazine
MCN Motorcycle News
Roadrunner Motorcycle
Robb Report Motorcycling
Which do you recommend? If none are any good, do you have other suggestions that might be available for overseas subscribers?
I would like general info, not too tech heavy.
Bike and PB are both really good. This month's issue of Bike has an article about riding to the arctic circle and back, very cool.
Motorcycle consumer news http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/
Consumer Reports for motorcycles. No ads and no BS.
I talked to a retailer of tape they reviewed. He said he had gotten a call from the mag (the caller did not identify himself as a writer) that asked a few questions and
(get this) he purchased the tape. The mag ran a review of the tape on their back page. Suddenly the vendor was receiving
a wave of orders. He didn't know about the review until after the orders started coming in.
I liked his story because it demonstrated
that the info in the mag is independent.

+1 for MCN!
It was Helicopter Tape. Brilliant stuff ;D
