School's still out whether I like just one magazine coming. This one seems a bit bigger than either individual one, but I don't think double the size. Don't they know they are cutting down on my bathroom reading material...probably more info than necessary there.

I liked the "centerfold" of the pastor in Illinois riding his 2003 SE RK to church. Dressed in his robe, with no helmet, and Reinhart mufflers to make a little noise on the way to church. I'm wondering if he is a member on here.

First thing wife and I noticed was the flowing scarf (for want of the correct term). Hope it doesn't wrap up on anything.

It seems that they mistreat you over there in lots of ways, so that doesn't surprise me much. Guess you need a laptop to take to the can with you to read it.

OK, my question is did you want to read anything in it? I paged through it twice, other than looking at the pictures, did you read any of it?

After a day, thinking about it, I would like the HOG Tales back. Ummmm, not much in it for the upcoming rides this summer, had to look for the ride
info specifically the second time through to see the two ad's.

Does anyone have an opinion? Did you like the content?

The new mag. is okay, but they took us from 2 to 1. What's next, every 3 months, then every 6, then finally they will just tell us to enjoy the web site?

Got the mag but haven't had a chance to read it yet...I know, I know, I didn't really add anything to this thread.

I started from front and have almost the entire mag already. Just about every other page is a full page ad for Harley. It seems like there is a lot missing in this new format. I am hoping this is because it's the first issue, but I'm doubting it. If anything, I thought they would try to "wow" you with that first issue. Yes, I've read it, but have I enjoyed the content...not nearly as much as prior issues.

So true as far as bathroom reading. I keep a north American atlas in my throne, and whatever the mag of the week is. HOG mags usually last a week, then who knows what.
I could care less about the 2-1 thing. gives me an opportunity to expand my horizons. Victoria secrets

My fallback publication is the parts catalog. When all else fails, I start shopping again.

The new mag is just HOG. I do see the day when they will eliminate the publications altogether, or try to charge for them. Oh wait, we are charged through HOG membership dues. Oh well, I only keep the membership to get into the rallies and the roadside assistance anyway.

I finished reading EVERYTHING in the new HOG magazine and all I can say is I hope the publication gets better than this month's issue. It sure didn't seem like much of an integration of the 2 magazines.

I noticed that as well... We were stopped by a County Sheriff because of a scarf that Judy had on. It barley came past her shoulders. (Her pony tail was longer) He wanted us to either tuck it in her jacket or remove it so it wouldn't get grabbed by the rear tire...

The article regarding the Canadian Rockies was informative and Marissa Miller wasn't bad looking but… I want my HOG Tales back.

Roll gently on the throttle.

I agree. I am about 1/2 way done reading it. Not impressed so far. I think I would prefer the Hog Tails and Enthusiast over this.

I too was expeting something big for the first issue to wow you, but instead I feel very let down. Much less content on Hog rallys, Hog rides, and such in general.

Please use real words when you respond. Keep the "u r" and "4 a while" for text messaging between kids. Thanks. No disrespect intended, but it makes the forum more readable. I notice you are from Switzerland, but this does not appear to be a language problem. I noticed it on each of your other posts as well. Thanks!

Do you mean that it's not the adult thing to do in text messages? I hate text messages and with the limit on number of characters in a text message, it seems like the most efficient way of doing things...especially since I can get pretty wordy at times. I do agree with you regarding posts within the forum.
