Steph,

I've come across it in quite a few newsagents, but the price they ask for it over here is ridiculous!

I subscribe to the digital version of Superbike and regularly buy AMCN and TrailRider. Also like the American mag Sports Rider, but it's bloody expensive here.

Australian Roadrider is stocked in a few places in Cairns. Mostly I read that and anything that takes my eye as far as a decent artcile I'm interested in.

Non bike mags I used to read Australian Personal Computer till it went advert bling. Shifted over to Atomic for a while but they are heading toward hyperventilation advert bling now so its getting booring. Sometimes the tech articles or a comparitive review make it worth while.

Something I'd like to see bike mags do is comparitive reviews on tyres; not just bikes. Say one bike each of a particular class and a set of tyres from each manufacture for each bike and a track or a closed road.

hell yeah - got most issues from 1973 (B&W) to when it went under in the late? 90's.....whenever.

Who remembers Eric & Douglas ???????

Those two, and the artwork of Silvestro, make Fred Gassit look like a Sunday school teacher..........and Edgar Jessup ???? anyone remember him ?? (prolly not).

Thanks Bladey, you have just given me a great idea. I am now going to dig up as many of the really good Eric & Dougs as I can find, scan the bastards, and post 'em up !!!!

The best part of Silvestro's artwork was looking for the *filthy* bits that were hidden in the background...........

absolute classic cartoon strip ( from the same era as Captain Goodvibes.........anyone remember HIM ???

)

Bike Mags, I love AMCN & Rapid and all Pommy Mags, they are great.

I HATE two wheels, and refuse to part with hard earned for it, I think it's rubbish.
