    Who here would like to assist in the making of an online magazine that would eventually lead to a printed version?

    The magazine will be dedicated to those riders dedicated to restoring, repairing, and riding vintage japanese motorcycles ? that means

    right now I have a part of one started with many ideas such as reader tips and tricks, how to sections and features of about 4 bikes each month. we can even have an in depth restoration section , Case cracking , Painting. I would also like to add a page that would be a collection of readers favorite sites of vendors they trust.

    Good idea.
    A really good option is to join the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club. www.vjmc.org For a $30 annual investment you get a beautiful full color magazine bi-monthly that is chock full of information and technical tips. Also you get free buy/sell ads that run both in the magazine and online.

    was wanting to make a mag thats is strictly japanese where the other mags like you said have european bikes included.



    schooter, yes tech savy people like some here.

    Not just a mag to show off the bike, but one where you get help in understanding and doing the repair work .
