I also found an "online" copy by searching motorcyclist retro, but I had to pay 5 bucks for it. Kinda cool, something I'd pick up now and then just to check it out but not sure I'd pay for a subscription.

[geniusloerts]

Is it just me or is there no mention of the name of this mag?

The mag is called Motorcyclist Retro the first issue is Spring 2008. It cost $7.99, and I could not find it here in Milwaukee. I bought it in Chicagoland. It was originally to be called Motorcyclist Classic and come out about three months ago. I am only guessing, but my thought is that Motorcyle Classics had an issue with the name. It is a spin off of Motorcyclist and is headed by Mitch Boehm. He was asking for thoughts and comment before the first issue to be sent to:

i did mention the name... look at the first post "motorcyclist retro"... haa heeeh i have drank a huge glass of hurricane bacardi mix and it's gooooooooddddd!!!!!!

any way the mag has some cool pics in it!

Cool, except without the capital letters (Motorcyclist Retro) it looks like a description, not a proper noun.

It was called Motorcyclist Retro.. I don't know what other mag it could have been. The only reason I wouldn't get a subscription is that it had a lot of "retro" dirt bike motocross content and I've never really been into that, the street bike stuff was cool.

Sorry about not capitalizing the Motorcyclist Retro before to make it clear that was the title... I can see how you'd be confused.

I think this is the publication that psycoreefer is talking about at the following link.

It looks good, don't know if I would subscribe to it though.

I got one at safeway. Good read. If it keeps up, I will subscribe. We should all write the editor about our elevens, pics too.

He did mention that you can send in a pic and a short description and it just may be placed in the mag........ though he did mention about it being back in the day...well there was no back in the day for me, these bikes were made before i was born, but i still enjoy it as much or more than those people from back in the day.

i figure if everyone writes in at the same time, they have to hear the call and do i XS article.
