OZ ATV :: The Australian ATV Forum

[old55]

ATV Action is read in our home and so are many US based magazines, at the moment ATV Action has not decreased in its page capacity unlike the US based ones that we have been recieving for the past 6 years, recently the magazines have dropped to about half of what they were 7 months ago, so that is saying a lot re manufactueres and advertising.

Whilst the economical clilmate is tough at the moment, ATV Action has produced great articles and does not seem to have decreased in size, whom ever is preapred to do articles and submit I am sure Barry could assist in getting them in, but again everything has a price, and unless the advertisers are prepared to pay for advertising thier products magazines of all types will slowly dwindle.

Keep up the good work Barry and thank you very much for your time in covering the Nationals at Murray Bridge for 2009, plus the Tri-States and the NSW Challenge, I know your time might be spent better at home tinkering, but we are grateful that you take time to represent the Quad fraternity in all aspects.

Keep them coming

Now I love Atv action being Aussie and all that BUT tonight I got shot down in badly when I was standing up for Barrys mag. There people out in the real world (because I don't live there) that have the opinion that ATV Action is just another AD for CAN AM. Well I fired up.... So we run it though a test of the amount of pics of quads. Can am 35 Yamaha 20 Suzuki 9 Polaris 8 Honda 8 Kawa 5 KTM 4 Pretty clear cut . What do I say now?????

i got the mag once the one that test rode all the big bikes i remember there was the yam the kawa polaris and i guess? the can am. Honda would not give them one and suzi so when i was looking at buying one -a bike- that info was not much help just half the story so get the bikes from some where else duhh? oh and i thought they were yam biest. At the time i thought i was going to buy a polaris 2 weeks later i bought a rincon and im very happy with my first purchase

simple Can am spam everything including the mag lol

[yogie]

If camam supply a bike for every test the mag asks for, so why not do it, if the rest wont supply a bike, whats the mag meant to do ? buy one Dont think so, and if it shames the rest to supply bike as regular as camam well good, I'd prefer to see more jap bikes up against the yank bikes. Simple as that really.

im not saying that the mag should buy a bike just for there test surely there are other avenues they can go down maybe there is a dealer thats got one for test rides or maybe just ask their READERS for a ride or some sort of hire company tag along tours maybe i think all mags are s#@t anyway just a waste of money find out every thing on the net for free There is one mag i read OWNERDRIVER keeps me up to date with whats going on in the industry and its free from any truck stop/road house

I know that but in these tough times, and when the articles (the good ones) are a little thin on the ground , we need to support the mag the cheapest and the bestest way, and that is to buy a issue, simple as that, and when the other manufacturers start to let the bikes out of their tight little grubby hands, the mag will get even better. So spend 10 bucks every 3 months and support our LOCAL scene.

I know for a fact a lot of US based trike owners subscribe to our mag for the simple fact ATVA still has 3 wheeler content each issue and from the feedback i get they like it better than some of their own US based mags.
