Click the free subscription link...it's legit. Roadgear's been doing this for a couple years. I did it last year and it's made Motorcyclist my favorite bike magazine. Some of you guys did this last year, I know...this is where I found it the first time.
i just signed up thanks for the link :thumb:
Signed up too :cheers:
Great post!
Cool, nice link, thanks for sharing. :cheers: I signed up too!
I just bought 2 years' worth a couple months ago.... :confused:
awesome, thanks for this link. the libraries don't carry motorcycle magazines anymore due to budget cuts, I can get my fix of moto news again thanks to this. :thumb:
YEAH! Thanks for the link!
That's a bummer Paulcet...but it really was only $15 :). I'd sign up for the freebie anyway and then call Motorcyclist and see if they can stack your paid subscription on to the end of your free one. Cyclegear has been doing this every year, though, and will likely continue to do so...you might end up with a paid subscription that keeps stacking lol.
All of you make sure you use your REAL email address when you sign up...if you don't, you won't get the notification in a year or so that Cyclegear is again giving away free MOtorcyclist subscriptions.
My Motorcyclist subscription renewal comes due in December. I'm sure this freebie should piggyback. I figure this promo give-away must be costing that website tens of thousands of dollars :icon_eek:
I certainly wouldn't pay for a 2 yr re-up. Like other print media, I know at least Cycle World is teetering....2 yrs is a long time when times are a-changin'. :icon_sad:
As cheap as motorcyclist is I doubt they'll do anything but gain customers...plus, many people look at it the same as I do: short and easy to read articles = my favorite magazine. Plus, the mag is so advertisement heavy they're all paid for well before the subscribers hand any cash over.
"Offer valid for mailing addresses in the US. APO and Puerto Rico only!"
Darn...... :icon_sad:
i'm still waiting on my subscription from the last two yearly "free" signups.
sure, my spam went up 200 %, but no magazines. oh well.
I'm sorry to hear that mr. good...I'd call up cyclegear and ask what's up. It's worked out great for me.
Already "filled" 15,000 subs gone already.
Thanks for the heads up tho...
Well here is an interesting article.. you may not be receiving those free mags.....
The publisher of Motorcyclist, Sport Rider, Dirt Rider and several other motorcycle magazines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The news comes just one month after Cycle World was put on sale. Source Interlink, which is owned by shady billionaire Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. publishes 75 magazines, mostly in the car and motorcycle enthusiast category, making it particularly vulnerable to the downturn in both industries. Source Interlink, which also publishes Motor Trend will now become a private company.
U.S. magazine revenue, already suffering a long-term reduction, fell 20 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to a year ago. In an agreement with lenders, $1 billion in existing Source Interlink debt will be cancelled and around $100 million in additional liquidity will be provided to facilitate ongoing business. It's expected that heavy restructuring and cost cutting will now take place within the company's publications, but it's too early to determine which, if any, titles will be closed or sold.
Source Interlink motorcycle titles:
ATV Rider
Baggers
Dirt Rider
Hot Bike
Motorcycle Cruiser
Motorcyclist
Sport Rider
Street Chopper
Super Street Bike
Wow, that sucks.
:woohoo:
I received the first issue of my free subscription yesterday. Had forgotten about signing up for it.
Got my first one from the new run today...Summer of Love...shoots between the Big Dog K9 and Honda Fury...exciting.
I got my first issue about a week ago.
got my second issue today! Good article on the Triumph T-bird and a comparision shootout between the Gladius and the Kawasaki ER6-N.
And Ari Henning think the Gladius is ghey, as well.
Remember when you used to be able to buy great motorcycle magazines for $4 at Barnes and Noble, and then all of a sudden they realized they could run the price up to $9+ and just put a "Printed in England" sticker next to it and people would still think it was worth it?
My months used completely be based around the new issue of Streetfighters, and there was nothing that would make me more excited, until the first day they new price hit.
I don't even have any of my old magazines to browse through, I gave away the entire box of them last time when I thought I was done riding. Maybe some other sucker is doing the same exact thing, I'm gonna have to keep an eye out.
I'm afraid to fill in my info now that the subscriptions are filled for Spams sake, but you guys should definitely post this again next year when the time comes around for us.
I'll post it every year they offer it...even though they are letting their advertisers throw more and more porn-esque nonsense in the issues...
Thanks for bringing this post back up! I just got an issue this month and was like. Hmmm where did this come from? Not too bad a mag. My best friend pays for it LOL!

Of those of you that signed up for this and did not receive the Magazine did you all receive gobs of SPAM instead?
I'd like to sign up for it but I hate SPAM and I never fill out forms just for that reason! >:( >:( >:( >:(
I get hits from motorcycle superstore but, considering how much I paid for my subscription, I just can't bring myself to be upset over it.
And those of you who signed up and did not receive the publication should be bitching to the sponsors who are paying for it...

And those of you who signed up and did not receive the publication should be Buddha Loves Youing to the sponsors who are paying for it...
Elaborate what you mean Buddha Loves youing ?
It is the filter that does "buddha loves you" he meant B I tching about it. I haven't gotten any spam but I also used the sign up on my garbage e-mail account that I got for free off of Yoohoo!

Those fucks. I just sent an interesting email asking why their current customers were not notified. I've been a RG customer for several years and, because of that subscription thing, they've gotten a good bit of business from Lubbock Classic Riders. Can't really complain, because it's free, but shaZam! we should have at least been notified so that we could have at least attempted to get in on it.
