New Retro Motorcyclist magazine
« on: May 30, 2008, 08:08:55 PM »
Any one else got a copy yet. Good article on the cb750 and Vic World building a 750KO. Looks like a good magazine for all in the 70's 80's bike era. $8 bucks a copy but some good pic's. They seem to be making a good effort. Hope it doesn't get deep sixed.

I couldn't buy it for $8. At that price I don't see it lasting.

I didn't search before posting, I just finished reading the 750 article and just posted.  :-[ Then I saw the other topic.

Going to my local B&N tomorrow but in the event they don't have it does anyone have a URL handy? I'm use to paying an obscene $8+ for the Brit mags (Octane IS worth it) so the price doesn't make me flinch too much.

Considering how much I spent on booze in the old days I consider this  money well spent. I also hold onto the suckers forever.

Hey Jeff. BIKE and RIDE magazines retail for over $10 a month here, and they always seem to sell out!!

I couldn't find one at B+N in the stores.
But I found it online at B+N.com for 5.99.
Looks great on the computer. Not paper unless you print it out.
They've got just about all mags available for download.
