I hate the fact that some mags are just sooo goddam biased to the particular manufacturer who is doing them most favours at that particular time. 
Also, when mags get their facts and figures all jumbled up.  I think its Fast Bikes, the one with the fat twat Moby as it's editor, they are the worst for it by far.  Also, they have shitty porn ads in the back, quite simply I don't wanna see it in the back of a bike mag.  So it's simple, I just don't buy the shit they put out now. 

As has been mentioned, I to like TWO and a couple of others, like looking at the pics!

I subscribe to Fast Bikes but i know what you mean about the facts and figures being fucked up. Also seem keen on power to weight ratios for bikes but never take into account the rider when working them out so the figures mean f@ck all.

I stopped buying MCN a while back and haven't subscribed to anything for years.

PB can be really good and ride is informative but for me it has to be two  like the others have said,mainly due to the variety of articles and less of the school boy writing that fills many of the others

I subscribe to RiDE, Bike and T.W.O

Personally, I think they all have a place.  All are good at some things, crap at others.  RiDE is brilliant for older bike reviews and essential buying advice.  Bike is good for new bike reviews, good kit advice.  But is full of egotistical tits, who think being bike journos makes them god.  TWO is cool, but badly organised and often there is misprints, bad print and other school boy errors.  And I think the tits on visordown have too much influence.

But...all great for reading whilst taking  a shit!  Beats a bleach bottle  :emb:

I used to get them all over the years, but now its PB and Motorcycle Racer. Agree with comments about the chat lines adverts in them. I stopped getting Superbike because of them.

Dont have to read them and you sure as hell dont have to phone them. If the revenue from them helps keep the cost of the mag down then who cares.

True, I but I didnt want to have to hide what is a bike magazine so that the kids wouldnt pick up the thing to look at the pictures and see the adverts.

you jsut have to be a little bit more active with those pages and stick them together so the kids cant open them  [rofl] [rofl]  Besides you can bet your kids get to see way more porn than you can imagine ont he interweb :)
