I just posted this in a response to another post on the euro list, and I
thought the info might be of interest to a wider audience. I know that
some people out there are interested in getting the european bike magazines
and I'd like to point out that there is an American distributer for some
of them. I have no connection with this outfit. We may want to put this info
(at least the address) into the yellow pages.

There are  also magazines on railroading and fishing (huh?) as well.
Finally, there is a good collection of motorcycling books, particularly on
older bikes.

They don't do credit card orders over the phone.

When I called for info, the had the brochure to me in 5 days.
(I found their number listed in the front of a recent issue of Performance
Bikes as the official American distributer, with the other official
publishers info.)
