one of the best things about CW is the pic on the inside back cover with the amusing caption. Everybody wins: lots o pix!

I noticed today that there is now a collection of Kevin Cameron's columns in book form, in the same format as Peter Egan's.

Another worthy tome to add to the collection.

Performance Bikes used to be superb when John Robinson was the technical editor. It's a poor cousin of Bike magazine now.

I do like their trend back towards the Readers Specials content of old. JR would be proud of that much at least

I've been a subscriber for about 5 years - I even had a letter published in one

I usually have 2-3 Yank magazines on the go as they are so cheap to subscribe to. English ones are expensive.

Plus as stated earlier the English reviewers appear to miss the point of any bike other than a 100% sport ride. Or stunt bike - they love them but a review on a Harley would go something like 'useless for stunting and the seat is so low I got my arse down in the twisties'

very worthy. I am on the verge of ordering thru the kneeslider if you want to check if combined postage will work?

I am getting Leanings 2, the japanese motorcycle wars book, and the TDC columns book.

trying to order thru the CW shopfront does not work: apparently NZ does not exist for them. I emailed them and no response.

The problem with the tests is that all the units are imperial (sorry "US standard" which have no meaning for me really...)

Aaah - the joys of being old and multi-measuremental........

Amazon have Top Dead Center for $US17.79 or used from $US12.69, Leanings for $US17.13, or used from $US11.47. Leanings 2 for same new price, used from $US14.55.
The three books, new will cost $NZ71 plus $NZ27.20 shipping. How does the kneeslider compare with that?

I'm subscribed too.

My Favourite Mag is Australian Road Rider. You can find it in the bigger mag shops, an excellent read.

[Owl]

I've subscribed too, so cheers. If I don't like the mag, at least I'll have smooth glossy paper to wipe my arse!

I went for the electronic edition for $8. Very readable and ability to print.

[steved]

I'm guessing that they need 'x' amount of prints for some of their advertisers to stay on board...can't see why else they'd be doing it so cheaply, but I'm not arguing. I think they owe me a free subscription seeing how many here have latched onto it!

You're right. Many yank magazines are really cheap by subscription (ESPN the mag etc). Advertisers pay for the mag and subscribers justify the advertising.

Just got an email from them saying this:

Dear Mr. Hamilton,

Thank you for your order. Your credit card will be charged $32.00 for 26 issues.
Your first issue should arrive in 6 to 8 weeks.

Thank you for subscribing to Cycle World.

...a little more than $10.00... ?

[James Deuce]

Even so, that's the price of three non-airfreighted Cycle World magazines (3 months late in other words) purchased from a magazine shop. Astonishing value in my book.

[skelstar]

Fark, have not recieved any issues yet (email in May said 6-8 weeks) so checked subscriptions page at www.cycleworld.com and they reckon first issue I get is Sept 08! ... still I'm paid through until Oct 2010
