The AIM team seems to work hard to try and get the right mix of bikes, tech and events in each issue. Some work better than others, but I'd bet they never stop trying to improve the magazine. At least that's how it looks to me.

I agree with you 47. Best Harley magazine anywhere.

AIM is without a doubt the best. The numbers prove it.

well the way it looks to me is there is an outline...a stifling format...an old mans layout and a boring personality...not a single biker on staff other than Chris that can hold his own..

the outline gets filled every month with the same stuff
the readers keep lapping it up, vanilla puree

check out cycle source for a bit of refreshment...

Everyone has his own opinion, but I'm not sure I understand yours. If American Iron is so boring why is it the best selling Harley magazine in the world?

And what do you mean by "not a single biker on staff other than Chris that can hold his own"? What about Buzz, Donny Petersen, Tom Johnson, and a list of others who have probably been riding and wrenching longer than you?

Or does "holding your own" mean something else?

Just got back into the office from doing a feew tech stories and trips. Found a bunch of complaints and such on my voicemail and then your post.

Thanks! I needed that!

Chris..... cheer up man. People will and usually do give the wrong attitude at the worst time. I have a saying that we used to laugh at but I find it to be more true as I get older.... people suck, or another one we used to laugh at...I hate people!!!
Unfortunately...your job is to directly deal with people, and try to please a multitude of opinions and expirence, a very difficult task to be sure.
All I have to say is.... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.. I LOVE IT.
By the way, that knuckle you built..... PERFECT!

Thus the user-name "wanker" chosen !?!
I've heard & read where British and some Canadian folks use that term..meaning about the same thing.
