You will probably get better motorcycle test information from mens! So that's a plus! Transworld would literally write like 2 paragraphs about a completly new bike and how it performs. Wtf man. I canceled my sub back in 09 or 10 for these reasons.
Hope swap brings back a little bit of the Mxracer feel when he gets his poop in a group.

At least DC bailed Cox out when he went under so some moto was still in the mail.

The Men's Journal is FABULOUS!

They've got articles on how to pick the correct curtains for your new metro-condo in downtown San Francisco...

Or how to up-option your pink Tesla S.

Soooo...

you are saying that you got your Men's Journal subscription extended instead of just swapping over like the rest of us.

I bought my subscription during the black friday sales on Amazon. $6 for 12 issues. I thought that was a stupid move with the postage rates, they can keep the Mens Journal as it just metrosexual bs!

Men’s Journal haters??!

I was given Men’s Journal by a neighbor a few years ago and I liked it. I’ve been subscribing to it ever since. A lot of it is fluff, but I’m ok with it. I usually find something of interest in every issue.

And we would bail Transworld MX readers out but I don't know anyone at the new AMI...

In the meantime, please check out our new vertical digital editions and redesign, complimentary on me!

Well, DC, when Road Racer X was stopped, I'd a fair few issues to go on my subscription, but never heard a peep from you guys.

It was a bummer when you shut RRX down. I've still got every issue, as I do with Racer X.

Still to this day, I re-sub for the Digital Racer X, each year, plus buy the hard copy off our Newsagents here when it comes in.

I just re-upped for 3 years in August. I talked to the old publisher and they said to contact the new publisher about refunds or switching to a different magazine.

When I called the new publisher they didn't have the information in yet to do anything about it. This was two days ago.

I plan on calling back and raising a fuss. Don't take over a magazine spam me with deals to renew for 3 years then shut the magazine down. That's super shady.

If anyone care's the Men's Journal customer service number 1-800-677-6367

I dont know what magazines are under their umbrella but I would think they would give subscribers a choice out of the publications they have or just refund the money.

Men's Journal is by far the "closest" magazine they have that Transworld subscribers might want. Unless you're into weight lifting and Muscle and Fitness is more your speed.

Part of the reason they do this instead of providing a refund is to keep the subscription numbers up so they can brag to their advertisers, and get a bigger check.

Are the pages high gloss? High gloss does not burn as easily as normal paper. Thanks for the info, as it will help me to determine if burning it after I have already started a fire will be necessary vs, using it start a burn pile fire.


Attention everyone else who doesn't get it yet. Swap, Anton, etc. already spent all our money. THAT MONEY IS GONE. If you get a penny from anyone, it won't be from them.

I would have started the second of a two year subscription renewal this March, I tried calling the number that has been posted but they were not very helpful. I'm surprised that with the proliferation of Esquires here on Vital that a class action lawsuit is not in the works.

Seems like every single bike test I read by them they claimed “this was the funest bike we’ve tested/ridden yet!” Literally every test said something of that nature ?‍♂️

Ya I got the run around too. Said my information wasn’t even in their system. I wonder if I can dispute with the credit card company?

Anyone actually get an issue of Men's Journal yet?

Seeing that Motorcyclist was shut down this morning reminded me.
