nklr - magazines, uk's ride
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2013 6:29 am
I used to read Ride from the UK. Havent seen it here in the US for years which is a shame. I thought it was the best bike mag ever. They drew a lot from the motorcycle curriors for things like tips and tricks.
Anybody on list in the UK? Is ride still there? Can you get me a web site from the inside cover?

I think you are right on the quality of Motorcyclist.....but I have seen the quality of a number of magazines go down, not just motorcycle mags. I attribute it to the Internet age. Too much competition from digital I think. A lot easier and cheaper to go electronic than to print glossy mags. I now get two newspapers electronically, plus my National Geographic. The men's mags like Playboy are really in trouble as you can get a lot of that stuff free on the Internet.
