Anyone remember when Easyrider was a GOOD magazine?

I'm doing a project and need old Mags from the 70's to mid or late 80s. If anyone has old ones they want to get rid of let me know. I need as many as I can get!

Lookin for any old school mags like Biker also.

Help is appreciated. Hope it was ok to post this here. I know a lot of people see the lounge, ride Bikes, and knew it would be seen here!

I do not have any, but remember the 69 edition. [emoji106]

The old Easyrider was indeed a good magazine, if a little raw around the edges for some of the citizenry. There was some pretty entertaining fiction, and a great advice column by Miraculous Mutha (or something like that) that today would definitely be NSFW.

I also remember Iron Horse, its multi-brand companion, which usually had some nice Triumph bobbers. That became The Horse, after some editorial and ownership vicissitudes. I continued to follow it for many years after Easyriders had become a complete waste of time.

Sorry, no old copies sitting around; I gave my collection of old moto mags many years ago to somebody with more storage capacity. All I have left is a few Czechoslovak Motor Reviews.

I had a temporary girlfriend for a couple weeks around 1984 who was one of their girls of the month or whatever it was. She gave me some out take pictures from that and a friend gave me an Easy Rider calendar with her in it back then. Funny, because I was going through some old gun magazines just last week and came across them again buried in there. Other than that I know anything of the magazine.
 
Ebay will become your best friend. I bought a back issue for the year and month I was born. Got it in really good condition.

Iron Horse! Yes, those too!
I had a BSA Thunderbolt, 1965 Bike.... chrome and red gas tank... A Norton Commando, and many HD's. The 65 Beesa is still in a garage up the street form me, all original but needing complete resto. It is at the original owners house ( he's dead) He let me have it for awhile then got it back. Long story. His wife is still there and about 83 or so.
I want some ideas for a build. Usually these mags get tossed like all mine did, but figure someone out there has em still! Ebay is kinda crazy with prices.

I think the first step in the downhill slide was when they started using siliconed up pro models in the bike features. I much preferred the "Ol' lady of the month."

Then they figured out just how much money there was in ho'ing for shops & parts makers.

Anybody else remember Panhead Peggy? WOW!:eek:

CD you can probably find old pictures with Google.

Started buying them -78
stopped when they shifted focus :(

Still got every single one of them, and a bunch of "In The Wind" to.
Did a mamoth job and photocopied every comicstrip in them
and had a "Wall of fun" at work. :D

They sponsored an annual bike and tattoo show that had a stop in Columbus during the 90's. Good times...:cool:
 
I once attended an "Easy Riders Magazine Motrorcycle Rodeo" at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Middletown, N.Y. I took some 35mm photos with a Pentax K1000 and submitted them to Easy Riders. They published a couple of the photos and sent me a copy of the issue that they were published in, along with a check as payment for the photos.

These are the photos that I've been hiding from my wife for the past twenty-five years. :D
 
Years ago while deer hunting my dad and I came across a fell in log cabin. The roof had fell to the ground but I squeezed through a opening and found intact and well preserved some old newspapers, and a 1916 Indian motorcycle catalog. The newspapers were all about Poncho Villa raiding Columbus New Mexico. I had kept the Indian MC catalog for a long time but couldnt find it after I went home when my dad died.

I agree, it was much better when it had the real biker chicks featured. I used to subscribe back in the day, and went to a some of the Easy Riders Rodeos. What scene those things were! We would tent in the fairgrounds, and there was all manner of debauchery...

These days I'm lucky to find a few hours just to go for a ride.

DMAR- these days especially, you have to just MAKE the time. Life is waaaaaay to short.
The Easyrider rodeos were good fun. I kinda am just going back to the basics and trying to live life for fun........ cause livin it for money sure is not fun, ya know?

SO... I need some Old Easyrider mags and wanna build another bike. I ride a new Street glide but want an old school chopper to play with too!

Sold a couple guns for the Street Glide... will sell a couple or few more for the right chopper.

Funny, when I had every single issue of Hot rod from the first, I literally could not GIVE them away, and wound up throwing them out... the library would not even take.
And when I was not looking for old biker rags, it seems like everyone I knew had a pile THEY couldn't give away either!

Easyrider, Biker, Iron Horse....there were some good old mags, and lots of hot REAL chicks not plastic model chicks and cookie cutter bikes.

Make the time to ride dmar----you'll be glad you did. And leave the wife home!

I got a solo seat.... if anyone wants a ride, I have just the place for them to sit.
