Time To Trash The Print Magazine?

[T. Cotten]

OK I'll come clean, I have probably more magazines than all of you combined, I just moved 12,000 to the barn. In 1967 at age 16 I hitch hiked to California and when in LA went to Clymers to buy books on old motorcycles ( the only place in the world I knew I could buy them) and then to Cycle World magazine offices where I bought the missing back issues for my Cycle World collection. Sick or what!!
In those years i had a great poster of Bridgit Bardot with a Harley 45 chopper. Unfortunately today she is not as well pickled or airbrushed as Racquel.

"Bridgit"?

Thank goodness you didn't mean "Gidget".

I'd pay double for twice as many issues.
The forum is lacking in several areas, most acutely in the lack of participation in the wants and for sales, NOT TO MENTION TRADE! .. probably stay that way until we get more players trained to use it. may take time.

A serious example of over-restoration liberally sprinkled with reproduction parts. No winners circle there!

Robbie!

With all due respect, I saw a few seconds of her on the boob tube (pitiful pun, sorry) recently, and I am still impressed.

But please remember that she was repeatedly "period-modified", and that makes her un-judge-able by any objective criteria.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
and historic machines must be judged objectively.

That may be impossible for this organization under present precedents.

I guess you haven't seen what a 70 year old Raquel Welsh looks like.

You're out in her part of the world Chris; see if Raquel wants to join the AMCA.

Barry!

I want to apologize for the sarcasm of my previous reply, as someday your suggestion will become timely.

But in the meantime, please remember that many advertisers depend upon the long life of hardcopy.

Not me of course.
(Advertising would ruin my business.)

I think the median age in the AMCA is 50. Personally, I don't want to see 50 year old centerfolds; regardless of how good looking she was in 1978. . . . Oh, you're talking about motorcycles. . . Well that's okay then.

Get rid of the magazine?...No Way! If anything they should add a centerfold. Ohhh Yeahhh.....

Whew! I guess that settles that!

Come on now Barry.....you really didn't think that...or did you?

Whew! I guess that settles that!

I vote for my paper copy. Mine has a hallowed place on the back of the toilet in the shop. If it disappeared my help would have my head.
