[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 171267, member: 161"] Not a solution for everyone but this is what I have done. I am in a few motorcycle clubs so I get or have access to the publications that come with my subscription. Magazines from the clubs I look to find things of interest, usually not much, make a note of any important dates and then dump them. Some are digital subscriptions that I can download and store in a folder on my computer. These are searchable so I have a better chance of finding something. Friends who have classic magazines that they pass on to me so that I can read them if I want to. Most classic/vintage magazines are regurgitating the same old thing, e.g. rebuilding or road testing a nineteen hundred and frozen-to-death "XYZ" model ???, so I rarely find much that I can be bothered to read, plus the standard of writing is generally poor. I will quickly look through these magazines and If I find an article of interest I keep that by adding it to a (reasonably) small pile. The rest I dump or pass on to someone else. This reduces the number of magazines to sort through. I do buy one classic magazine. It is one that usually has articles that I find interesting and it means I have something to pass on to people who have given me magazines. I used to have piles of dusty old motorcycle magazines that had not moved in decades so I moved them to the bin. Lots of information can be found on the internet these days by doing a bit of work with your web browser or you can ask questions on forums like this excellent one, get several answers and quite likely the one you are looking for. I will admit to having a shelf with binders of "Motorcycle Sport" magazine from the 1960's to 1970's when I cancelled it as it started to go downhill.:( [/QUOTE]
