![]() They have a responsibility to their (Paying) subscribers, plain and simple.Yes, yes they do, no argument here.īut sometimes logistics and reality can come crashing down and you have to make some hard decisions and research your options before you announce to the world you are going out of business. I read most of their issues and they waxed nostalgic at certain points about all the shit they have gone thru and BS to deal with, they openly said in years past how close they came to shutting the doors, I hope this is not terminal. Everyone wants a cool scene but get annoyed when its hard to deliver consistently. Have a clue about how hard and time consuming running a business like that is. I hope the best for them, I dont worship the ground they walk on, but they worked hard to put out a quality product and most people dont but dont know where it is or if valid anymore, But is it possible someone is in their area and stop by Horse HQ? My understanding is most of it is run out of Hammers shop where he sells guns. I used to have David-Englishmans personal email and phone and we used to talk many years ago. It DOES sound like they are stalling, Havent hung out there much for a very long time but you would THINK people would be posting about this, Might troll on over tonight and have a look-see. LOL I may be out my last subscription money it seems. Doesn't sound like the magazine is a cash cow, or even a calf. On a possible related note, I've noticed that Hammer sold his Indian, there's a magazine project bike up for sale, Englishman is talking about selling more bikes and now guitars because he's broke or something. The tech articles for the most part were pretty informative and could be applied to other fabrications or builds. ![]() Their voice mailbox is still full and not accepting new messages, and they are not answering e-mails it seems.Īnd yeah, I liked the mag because most of their featured bikes weren't some "themed" bullshit, were built using real available parts and ingenuity. Now, instead of subs, they want the news stand and they want YOU to order a single issue at a time from their website, which they'll then send to you via the mail? Kinda like a sub, but probably way more expensive with single purchase price and shipping costs you'll likely have to pay. The letter they sent leads me to believe they've done a 180 on the news stand idea. I hope they are not circling the drain, I was planning on ordering a Sub as my finances are turning around and you save $$$ over the newstand price as well as dont have to worry about out of stock. They tend to feature real world bikes built by regular people, I have a collection of vintage Sleazy riders, and the original Horse mags, Those are just cool stuff.īUt the Horse also does a lot of tech articles and I really appreciate those, even for bikes I dont have or work on. ![]() I dotn agree with all their opinions and stuff, But I rather LIKE the Horse magazine. ![]() I want a hard copy and we all know there is a thriving market for old used magazines. SIt there with my coffee and read the paper. I hate the internet version, it loads up with advertising My local newspaper (Among many) all try that, and it sucks balls. So this is a weird twist, Dont tell me they want to go to a digital subscription? Thats totally lame. My understanding was they only made a little $$$ on newstand sales, and they preferred you subscribed (They keep most of the money) ![]()
