Paper shortages cause increase in advertising rates

Now here's an idea; if the AMCA wants to increase circulation, and take a swipe at 'woke' indoctrination, try 'Easyrider's' cheesecake motorcycle enhancements.

That is funny, Tom.

I enjoy the magazine. I don't always get to it when it arrives but I do eventually and it is a good to have on rainy or snowy days.
I like the AMCA archives and spend a bit of time in there looking at digital copies of the passed issues and I find this valuable.


One deficiency I have found with the AMCA magazine archives is there are no issues for 2007. Curious; I have not been around long enough to know if in fact were no issues in 2007 or if the 2007 issues were simply not archived.

There were the usual 4 issues for 2007. I guess the scanners missed them. I have them in my motorcycling periodical library.

I started making an "index" for myself of the Tech Issues in the passed issues as I am "tech challenged" and am trying to improve in this area.
I quite like the current Nuts and Bolts editor Ted Borman. I like the way he goes about his craft and I admire that he is NOT afraid to start (again another personal deficits).
I appreciate anyone who is knowledgeable AND approachable.

So many print motorcycle related magazines have come and gone I am glad the AMCA magazine is still standing.

I have lots of past issues of many magazines, especially those that interest me. And I've read them all at least once. Most from volume 1 issue 1 until they bore me which is around the '70s.

Rubone, your knowledge and collection never ceases to amaze me!

I also like the magazine, something to read in 'the library' every morning. As said above, some articles are more interesting than others, but still enjoyable.

I find it ironic that so many publications have gone digital and yet there is a paper shortage.

Relative to the OP, the first thing I read was the editorial and found it to be of no interest whatsoever. Editorials are known for that though. I knew from Mr Edwards original introduction a few issues back that he may be a bit disconnected from the grass roots of the club. But that doesn't mean he's not a good magazine Editor. Trying to please all of a 13k membership as editor of any magazine can be daunting task. Probably akin to pleasing everyone who enters the judging program. Printed magazines in todays digital world have been a dying breed but this one, still shines brightly in my personal opinion. I look forward to it like the rare trip as a 10 year old in the early 70s when mom would take me to the Suzuki shop for parts, and that 50 mile round trip was a BIG deal for a farm kid!

I do believe the magazine is still the most important aspect of membership for the majority, but I know some never open it. I am blessed to attend road runs, swap meets, and chapter events. If I wasn't able to do that I think the magazine would be an even greater asset. I like the meet and road run reports and members showcases the best as well as relative advertising and trash and treasure. Some things digital media just can't beat. I keep the mag on the table and flip through it during breakfast off and on for 4-5 weeks after receiving reading most interesting to least. Peace
