Since I’m in riding withdrawal I’ve been continuing my overdose on motorcycle media.
In one of the many magazines I’ve been picking up I came across the Overland Adventure Rally, which happens to be only about half an hour away from where I live. I won’t be participating on a Ninja, but I’m working on that.
The magazine picks have been many and varied. On the Canadian side I have picked up Inside Motorcycles and Canadian Biker.
IM is very race focused so I’ve been trying to use it to get a grip on what racing is offered/popular in Canada. I stumbled across the last MotoGP race of the year on SPEED and gave it a watch. Utter madness! But more entertaining than any F1 race I watched this season.
I’m still partial to British bike magazines and pick them up when I come across them. Motorcycle Sport & Leisure is written from older perspective but the mag holds up the quality end of British magazines. Few ads, lots of articles on a wide range of subjects, well written too.
BIKE magazine is a big one in the UK and I can see why. The writing is top notch, I was laughing out loud as I read one piece on all the ways an author has fallen off a motorcycle.
I’d pick up Adventure Bike Rider again, but it was hard to find even when I was in the UK this summer.
These hard to find British magazines may drive me to reading on a tablet just so I can get at them.
Cycle Canada is the only bike magazine I’ve gotten a subscription to so far, no regrets there.
