Starting about 1969 I used to buy Cycle (60cents) and Two Wheels (40 cents) every payday (quite a commitment when you takehome pay is only $21). There was some great reading in those. Like a fool, many years later I got rid of about 15 years worth for next to nothing. None of todays magazines come close, now the road tests are padded-out manufacturers brochures
