Motorcycle Retro is a go.

Okay, my friend, Mitch Boehm, is pushing forward with the magazine and I'm putting a piece of his email to me here so hopefully people will check Motorcycle-Retro out. He also sent me an early copy of the press release but it's not going out until next week so I'm sittin on it for now.
If you grew up with these older bikes like I did then this will be a real treat for you. Mitch is working his tail off to get this going full tilt with a lot of his own money and sweat. It's a quarterly print magazine, for now, and is chocked full of great information and pictures. Oh! And if your thinking about resurrecting an older bike and can't find information to make it period correct ... this magazine IS for you. Please give the website a look, which is in it's infancy, but should give a great idea of things to come. Your gonna love this magazine like I did my first issue when it was "Motorcyclistretro" but is now being Re-launched as Motorcycle Retro. It will still have the same great concept with perhaps a few extras thrown in. Mine, I read it, the whole thing, from cover to cover in one night because it was hard to put down.

Thanks,
Wooley
