After not getting the magazines over the last few months I now learned that they no longer distribute the above magazines from the publishers in England . Today I subscribed to all of them directly from the UK and ordered some of the back issues I did not receive. The motor cycle (and others) magazines got really hit hard with the Covid problems .
A friend of mine was using the Wisconsin based distributor and started having problems with them several years back and gave up. I'm sure the Covid related importing issues have compounded things even more.
I just received the last print copy of Cycle World as they are going digital only as others have. Great issue with two features from Peter Egan so quite a send off. Rider seems to be getting back on track as they are sending print copies again (hopefully it will last). Motorcycle Classics and Roadrunner seem to have not missed a beat however.
Times are changing...that's for certain.
