Title: No more Baggers!!
Post by: rayson56 on April 04, 2018, 04:34:46 PM

I have subscribed to Baggers Magazine for quite sometime now and hadn't received a copy in the mail in awhile. When I checked my mail last week there was my magazine!! Upon closer inspection it was a copy of Hot Bike (same company) with a cover letter attached explaining that Baggers Mag. was no more and that the rest of my subscription would be replaced with Hot Bike which had been integrated with Baggers. When I had subscribed to Hot Bike in the past the writing and articles were pretty good, better than the quality in Baggers IMO but now the pictorials and builds may not be leaning to the baggers side as much but hopefully It'll still be a good read.  :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

I figured a few of you would be in the same boat so I thought that I would post this and see what YOUR reactions were.

I got the sample hot bike magazine too, read through it, saw the one picture and short mention of a roadglide, absolutely hated the whole magazine and threw it in the trash. I won’t bother with any more that come my way.

My subscription to Baggers ran out in December. I was about to renew in late December when I saw that they were ending publication. Then just last week I got a copy of Hot Bike in the mail. The wrap around the magazine said "Act Now THIS ISSUE OF HOT BIKE IS YOUR LAST!" They were trying to get me to renew to a magazine I didn't even have a subscription. Guess is was my first and last issue.

I was not happy either. I really enjoyed Baggers and the touring articles. Looked through Hot Bike but not interested in the bikes they feature, if I was I would have subscribed to Hot Bike a long time ago.

I subscribed to Baggers for years! I vowed when it ran out I wouldn't renew it!  I really don't care for the big wheel bikes.

I found a better mag Road Runner! It is a great mag that is is related to touring & travel.

Check it out is worth the while.

Ride safe!

Same deal for me, Hot Bike as a substitute. I was done with Baggers anyway. No interest in the Big Wheel bikes whosoever and that's bout all they had.

I have to agree with your post completely. I dropped my subscription to Baggers a few years back and picked up Roadrunner. Roadrunner comes so much closer to delivering what I was looking for in a magazine.
