Looks like Buzz was the only one to get the memo on more cut lines.
Both the event and tour articles have a lot of photos and no "who the heck is this in the photo."
And what it that guy without a shirt doing in the photo that looks like a “Miss Reno Bike show bikini contest,” and why weren’t you guys throwing rocks at him.
Like I said, a cut line would be nice.
Really enjoyed the photo “how to shot your bike,” by Bob Feather, hope more are coming.
Enjoyed the Cross bones bike, but would not call a twenty three thousand dollar bike a “Budget Build.”
It sure looks like the bike that was shown here a couple of weeks ago, think I like the one in here better.
I liked the reworded Rocker bike.
I enjoyed the V-rod bagger, still shocked that the baggers are more popular than ever and that you can bolt on FLH bags and a FXRT fairing and call it custom.
Sure would like to see some big names build some Real custom bags, and fairing.
Really liked the Led sled Sportster bike, their style is getting more pleasing to me, not as radical as in the past.
Not sure if I would like to ride it without a front brake, guess it would be ok to the bar or bike shows.
The Drag Specialties ad sure got my attention.
Makes we want to buy some chrome or white wall tires for some reason.
Someone needs to talk the ad agency for the Dirico bikes, that ad will never make me want to own one.
Enjoyed Adam Williams Trike article.
Sure would like to see a custom rear end on that thing.
Looks like it is missing something under the seat/fender.
Would like to see an article on the trike that leans in the corners.
Haven’t read the 96 to 103 article yet, the Penn foster card makes my magazine flip right past it. I’ll rip the card out tonight so that I can find it, and read it.
Guess that is about it, need to read Donny’s, but will wait until I have time to digest it, and it looks like a rerun of the last few issues.
Great job guys, keep them coming, still need to pick up the baggers and bobbers, I don’t get to town very often.
Got my issue over the weekend. Man , that's a sharp V-Rod bagger I agree about the Dirico Motorcycle ad, it doesn't show me anything. How about getting Mr. Tyler to send you a bike to beat up for a month or two, let's see what's so special about them.
And yes, I was also wondering about the ''male model" in the bikini contest. Isn't it an editors job to screen all contents before publishing,if so, Chris missed one
had a question on something on the hot XL tech sheet. they said the bike was a 1994 xl 883, with a top end kit making it 1200. every thing else was said to be stock. including the final drive which was listed as "stock chain". i thought by 1994 the xl's were already on the drive by rubber band? jst checkingand curious

Yellow enough it definetly was, oh yeah kinda makes ya wonder if that's not the touring bike of the future for the MOCO. Looks like a good start, just don't wanna see a Metric Look! Keep up the great articles.
Rocky, Yea, still can’t believe HD has not come out with a H2o bagger yet. I have tried to talk Buzz into turning his V into a retro trike.
I think a AIM V-rod bagger project would be cool.
But instead of the FLH bags and the Road Glide fairing, how about using Corbin Bags, the new style and the Corbin air dam fairing. Corbin Motorcycle Seats & Accessories | Harley-Davidson FLH / FLT | 800-538-7035
I bet AIM could get Corbin to custom make a new line for the V-rod, have AIM get the first set.
I have always wondered what my bags/fender would look like on a V-rod, and a custom fairing.
Not enough time or money to find out.

Had a chance to read Donny’s article, it was much better than I expected, excellent for the follow up.
I am interested how HD will accept the news that the fix for their top of the line bike is aftermarket parts.
I guess this is keeping up an old HD tradition to keep the aftermarket thriving, and advertisers for AIM.
I read the Bob Feather photo article again, and probably will again. Hope this is not the end of these articles.
I went for a ride last night; his article kept going through my mind.
Yea that would make a cool shoot. Nope wrong angle. Too much clutter.
Found this great shot, wild flower meadow in front of this old shack.
Need to stop and ask the people if I can ride through their front yard to get there.
Maybe tomorrow.
I read the 96 to 103 article, Chris did a good job documenting the build. This is a subject that has been covered many times, but I am sure there are new owners that will find it new.
Read Genevieve’s editorial, found it interesting. Had a chance to visit the Limp Nickie show at Daytona, after Buzz suggested it to me.
Personally I found it, a little rough around the edges, like the bikes, but interesting.
Anyone going to a major bike event should check it out.
AIM should do a feature about it.
I’m reading the letters. It gets a little confusing when the photos are wider than the columns. I would suggest making the letters section two columns wide instead of three.
This way the larger photo would fit inside the column and the smaller would be rapped with the text.
That or use a one point line to surround the letter and photo.
This would help in showing which photo goes with a letter.
Also might help if you did not run the letters like text, top to bottom, then jump to the top.
But keep them in a box, more like an ad.
Sort them size wise so that you can find sets that fit the page.
This would help with the design of the page, clean it up, and make it more pleasing to read.
If you want to send me a pdf of the letters section and I will show you what I mean.
Got my June issue.
