On line is good, but what do you read in the bathroom?

Ranked in order of importance:
Motorcycle Consumer News - Most honest
Rider, Cycle World (tie) - Rider is the most well balanced between tests, travel, reviews, and is read cover to cover. Cycle World has both on and off road evaluations and some good tests and editorials.
Motorcyclist - Some good and some bad.
American Motorcyclist - Good information, good travel, never been a good test or evaluation since inception.
Road Runner - Dont Know if it is Christa Neuhauser's editing, the writing , or what, despite the great destinations and travel I find the magazine incredibly dry and have never read a decent review. Probably buy it for my father, he likes it.
Dirt Rider - I respect Jimmy Lewis but the magazine is the dirt equivalent of Cosmo, 75% ads, 20% filler, 5% content. I will not be renewing.

Expired
Trail Rider - If Paul Clipper was still at the helm, I would still be subscribing.

Oddly enough, I enjoy a sit down with Roadracing World. It is actually is a very good rag. I enjoy Moto-GP and this is good. I also do Cycle World and Motorcyclist, and a few others. I don't need egging on, I do it myself.

Zero paid subscriptions, but American Motorcyclist, Vintage Views (AHRMA) and Florida Trail Riders come with memberships to those organizations. So I said three.

I forgot about American Motorcyclist. That puts me at 5 subscriptions.

I just found outrider online, peek some interests, but 40 a year ???. Had to cancel subsription to easyrider.
BBQ,

I really like Outrider. I paid $50 to get all of the the first year issues including the back issues. It took me about three nights to read the first and second issues. I can usually read through Cycle World nad Motorcyclists in one evening. So far the articles are well written and a good length. It talks about riding, not "First Impressions" or buy this new cool thing. More like, "Here's our gear, take it or leave it" or "We really rode there on these bikes." It doesn't have all of the ads that my other magazines have. Good stuff.

Cycle World (I get the digital edition now, read it on my iPad while traveling).
Roadrunner (I met Christian way back in the early days at the Long Beach IMS, signed up right then and there. One of my favorites)
Rider (actually get this one for free as a member of the Motorcycle Rider's Club of America)
American Motorcyclist

I also still get Dirt Wheels, as I also have a quad, but I didn't count that one for this poll.
