OldMiniBikes publication

[Sinner70]

I was just sitting here thinking (uh oh), and thought "wouldn't it be great to have an Old Mini Bikes monthly publication?" you know, like a sweet pic of a members bike for the cover, tech articles, builds, great places to ride, a article on diff parts (like compare brands of speed parts) a feature bike and write up of the owner, advertising, and maybe a "how to" series.

Of course this would all have to go through Hent. But i just thought it would be sweet. Opinions?

Subscription or sold at the checkout line?

 

[Sinner70]

I was thinking more like subscription only. Not at check out. It wouldn't have to be magazine size, maybe like the size of a paperback book and about 15-20 pages. It would all come down to cost and interest.

Can't wait for the centerfold, um I mean articles.
Great idea.

Most magazines of this type are having a vary hard time making it now, everything you are asking for is already on sites like this one and are free.

A friend of mine has been publishing a motor sports magazine in the form of a news paper for 25 years, mostly snowmobile and 4 wheeler stuff but also cover things, a couple years ago he had to go to online only the cost of printing and postage got too high.
The name of it is The Winning edge. I think they are still offering free subscriptions to increase exposure for their advertisers. Check it out and sign up.

I understand that a lot of guys would rather come on a site like this than pay a subscription to a magazine but I would definetly buy a OldMiniBikes monthly mag. I guess I am kind of old skool that way. It would be really cool. If there is anything I can do to help out let me know. :thumbsup:

this is exactly the way i feel. Im old school too and like the feel, smell and attraction of a book, newspaper or mag. Technology is nice, but for some of the older guys/gals, a publication (although small) would be awesome.

Funny you say that because I am 16 and prefer magazines. Though sites like this one are a quicker way to get questions answered. Once again if there is anything I can do to make this idea work let me know. :thumbsup:

I can have a magazine at work (on lunch/breaks) but cant use the internet. I'd buy it.

:laugh: Yep, other people usually won't steal your magazine once they know it had been with you on the toilet either :laugh:

I wonder who the right person to talk to about this would be? :shrug:
