### 3/5 — Slow to Release

*2019-06-12*

This is a top way to view this great magazine. However, the release can be weeks behind the available issue at Newsagents, so don't be in a hurry to get it.

### 1/5 — Can’t subscribe

*2019-05-17*

I’m not sure if you realise, but I’ve been trying to subscribe for weeks. I can’t. Hitting the blank (probably not right) subscribe button leads to an infinite spinner. iPad Pro. Happy to up my rating if I can read

### 2/5 — Long wait......

*2017-09-12*

Good publication but why such a long wait to read the latest magazine....up to 2 weeks wait after they get in store and other digital stores.....once my 12 months are up Im ordering thru Zumo n reading it on time....

### 5/5 — Roger

*2014-07-04*

I'm 75 y/d and just bought what maybe my last bike / scooter whatever a piaggio yourban .I have ridden bikes from a 1928 BSA empire star too a velocette thruxton , later in life suzukis Yamaha ect . I love your mag and hope I can read it for more years , and of course riding Marco named after Simoncelli .

### 5/5 — Top quality bike mag

*2013-09-27*

So glad I subscribed to this.... Really good, in depth, articles and stories about bikes and touring both in Australia and overseas. I get the main 3 or 4 bike mags in Australia every month and this is my favourite. Definitely targeted at touring and adventure riding though so if you're looking for a read on sports rockets and racing AMCN is probably a better bet. Keep up the great work guys!!
