The latest AMCA Magazine

[exeric]

I met up with two of my friends (and AMCA members) today at the Webster, Florida swap meet. We all got the latest club mag and exchanged opinions which were generally favorable. I was telling them that I had once posted a less than favorable comment here on the forum about an issue of the club magazine. You would have thought I spit on the bible.

I agree with 62Pan that it is a bit commercial looking, especially the full page Hagerty commercial and I think there are too many pictures of people. I want to see bikes! Otherwise, it's a good issue.

At first I wondered a bit about the placing of the ads too......but I was happy to see a few more early machines than in past issues. I got my copy on Friday......... I loved the story on Rick Wolfe's machine. Hey found it under a barn......hmmmmm...and all this time I've only been looking in them!!!

The articles are good but I have to agree about the ads. I also thought they would show a picture of the "crowd" at the grand opening at the AACA museum. After all they said something about "hundreds."

When I first looked through the new magazine, I was impressed with the great job that the new guys did considering what they had to work with. I didn't even think about the ads, until somebody brought it up. I was kind of curious about other people's comments about the ads, so I counted them and I counted the ads in another copy that I have at my house. The old mag that I counted the ads in was from Spring 2008, and it had 90 ads in it, and the new issue has 60 ads in it. So I guess the comment about the new mag seeming too commercial doesn't have much validity. I wonder if they are placed differently, or if some people are just looking for something to complain about.

My magazine arrived today 09/08/08. I don't even bother looking at the classifieds. In the past every time I called an ad they said "I sold that to some guy in the midwest or east coast last week".

Finally got mine!

My fall issue arrived this afternoon. Since I fear change, I wasn't sure I was going to take to any "new look" from my magazine. However, after thumbing thru it, it looks great. The changes I saw I liked. Keep up the good work.

Well...........

My magazine arrived today 09/08/08. I don't even bother looking at the classifieds. In the past every time I called an ad they said "I sold that to some guy in the midwest or east coast last week".

I got mine also yesterday on the 8th. The few times I called on parts I was told a midwest or west coast buyer bought it.
aside from that I think the mag looks great and Matt is right there is less advertising.

magazine adds

I find the magazine to actually flow much better now. The adds are located so as not to interrupt the articles. I especially like the new format of the want adds also. This magazine is top notch. Things are looking up!

This thread has me curious. Hopefully, my copy will arrive to VA, soon
and I can get a look. I always liked the mag.

But, I don't like the thought of less advertising, too much. Regardless of whatever
club coffers may hold, steady and happy advertisers make things hum.
I get the notion the editorial staff needs a steady platform
