I agree 100% with Mike.
I have every single issue since # 1, right up to # 72.
I have not renewed, as it has turned from a decent read into little more than
a comic.
I am exceedingly disappointed in what Kelsey Publishing have done with it,
not to mention the way they treated Tony Beadle - a thoroughly good man btw.
With my continuing membership of the TSSC, since 1981, the FoT and other
Triumph internet forums, and the most excellent VTR magazine, my needs are met.
The cost also went up from $51/year to $99/year...that's the last straw.
I would rather spend my money on my Triumph.
