I have send a letter to ask for a refund as I just paid them $ 65 in December for a three years subscription . Time will tell !

The future of consumer product review is video.

Well that saves me a letter to the editor. Have the articles were good, but a couple of the authors lately seemed to be way off base and an agenda not in keeping with the rest of the magazine.
That said, it was the only motorcycle magazine I subscribed to and it will be missed.

Like the ferret I like to hold a magazine rather than read on my phone. MCN was the last magazine i had a subscriprion to and i just renewed before new year but got the digital only because it was half price and I am "frugal"... Guess that saved me money in the end as I am not likely to jump through the hoops to "maybe" get a refund. Couple years ago I had nice conversation with Lee Parks at AIM expo in columbus and he told me at that time they has serious financial obligations and predicted this was in the future. I would be $20 richer had I considered his advise before renewing again. He was a great guy.

Sounds like you were trying to do your part to help out. If no one tried, then for sure they wouldn't have lasted as long as they did. Too bad hope came to an end.

Online Motorcycle Clothing and Accessories site 2Wheel sent out an email today stating they had bought Motorcycle Consumer News with the intent of reviving it in digital form. Its emphasis appears to be on accessories and modifications, not on vehicle reviews, which was my main reason for subscribing it. It remains to be seen though.

Hopefully it is true. Otherwise, the "investment" would be in what?
