Motorcycle Consumer News folds
« on: February 04, 2020, 10:04:36 AM »
Crap!  The publisher of Motorcycle Consumer News folds, is dissolving its assets and distributing whatever is left to their creditors.  Here is their announcement: https://www.mcnews.com/

Motorcycle Consumer News is (or now was) my favorite magazine and I have saved every copy since their first issue of November 1992.  Before that I was a Road Rider subscriber for many years.  Fortunately, my subscription was going to run out in August of this year, so I doubt I would receive much in the way of compensation from the bankruptcy court.

Right now my favorite remaining motorcycle magazines are Rider and the British publication, Bike.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

Totally agree with Bike....  Absolutely the best thing out there....

Well that just totally sucks!

MCN was a wealth of in-depth information, touching on psychology, medical, mechanical, industrial design, law enforcement, and alternative energy, not mention great, honest reviews of motorcycles and equipment.

I'm very sorry to see it go, and now don't have anything to pass on to my two motorcycling neighbors each month.
