    Maybe someone needs to start a vintage 3 wheeler magazine!

    A new magazine would be a great forum to educate the world on the 3 wheeler.
    It might also be a great way to muster support against the government that is trying to shut us down. People that know nothing about the 3 wheeler, thinks they are dangerous because that is what they have been told, you believe it after you have been knock in the head about it for 20 years. There is vintage car and truck mags, why not atc's, show peoples restored bikes, have ads for parts, basically educate everyone. What does everyone think about this one???

    thanks for your support, i wish i had known about your 3 wheelin monthly, i sure would have helped you in anyway possible. was it a email mag or paper mag? i can't believe i never knew it was there. i am just throwing ideas around and seeing what kind of support there is for this type of magazine, or if people even care about a magazine like this.

    Magazines are a very expensive thing to get into. Printing and distribution = $$$$. In the beginning it would be very difficult to get enough ad space sold to cover your costs especially given the narrow target audience. If you're truly serious about such an endeavor, I'd recommend broadening the scope a bit to all vintage off road bikes. Pre-nineties trikes, quads and dirt bikes.

    It would be a huge help in garnering more aftermarket support if a magazine could be made into something substantial but I'm thinking e-zine is the only way it's ever going to happen. No real costs involved. Maybe a print mag could grow from that.

    keep me informed, i will gladly back off if you have already got the wheels turning in the same direction i was going. i just wanted to see if there was any support for this idea, but i will back off and support you, it would be silly for us to go after the same idea, there is not enough audience for 2 mags. please keep us informed and let me know if i can help you in any way. thanks (trikes rules)

    theres a new mag out there called quad it only distributes 6 issues a year. i think that would be the best way to go.

    an ezine huh?

    thats cool, an e-zine. will you be able to purchase it in paper form though? a magazine is a good idea, but long and difficult process. better have the dinero to back it up cus the cost is definately out of the typical working class mans range. i used to work for the company that prints people, time, newsweek, sports ilustrated, etc... alot of time and hard work goes into the making of a magazine.

    1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"
