The Horse Back Street Mag.

[PRWIS13]

Anyone know whats going one over at the Horse? Have not seen my sub in the mail for about 4-5 months. I went to their web page and there is another cat that started a post on their site that he also no mag sense Feb. Anyone in Detroit do a ride by and see if the place is still there?

[RickG61]

I got the same issue. I went to their site a few weeks ago, and there was a message there saying they were sorry but they're back on track and the next issue should be hitting the printer soon.

Meanwhile, I notice they are posting updates on facebook from Sturgis, Smoke Out, etc. Hopefully they get their shit together and we don't have a pissin match over when my subscription ends. They should extend all subs ending dates out as many months as they missed printing a mag.

April issue was my last one. I am patiently waiting for them to get their shit together.

[PRWIS13]

Thanks guys, good to know they are not dead. And I agree they better extend my sub. They do not even send out one a month now. You would think as long as they have been doing it they would have a handle on on. I guess I will wait like everyone else.

Mine only took six months and two e-mails to get. Then it wasn't even a Horse T Shirt. LOL

Though I haven't upped my sub there in years and think , in general, it hasn't been the same since Ralph gave it over to Englishman. In all fairness I believe they felt they were being financially blackmailed by their printer. Instead of caving in to the extortion they stopped the presses and searched around for another printer rather than passing the cost on to the readership. I believe it's straitened out but it caused an inevitable delay. I'm sure they wil try to make it up to their subscribers. While I'm not big on the content of the magazine, their ethics seem to be in the right place.

It sucks, one of my bros has been locked up since 01, only thing he gets, has and loves is the Horse sub i send him every year. Says he has only seen 1 issue all summer. I never had a problem with the Horse guys.....they seem like decent fellas, just a shitty situation

[montuckymatt]

There are so many other superior options. As far as the staff goes, its terrible business practice to not let your clients know what is going on when a product is not supplied on time. Granted they did eventually, but why such a long delay? I would rather give my money to others than the horse staff anyway.......

Ran out of corncobs. Gotta wipe with something.

just don't wipe with show class.you'll get a rash

[Jeremy24]

same issue, ordered a subscription for xmass 2016 and haven't received a single copy. Called, emailed, left voicemails.... no response. So I said fuck em and got a sub to basket case magazine

[CISO1969]

Basket case is a great mag

Easyriders has totally sucked since the mid 80's. Iron horse was great for its whole run until Snow left. I used to think the early 80's takeover was really shitty until , much to my surprise , I re-read them . As bad as they were , they were still better than anything put out now and they were porn guys ( until David Snow showed up and saved it ) ,how sad is that.

[RickG61]

Yeah, Easyriders succumbed to the, "I want to sell my mag at Walmart" mentality. Suddenly, there's a "G" rated version. LOL I remember the good old days when my 3 year old daughter asked me why the girls were showing their boobies and my wife said I couldn't read that magazine with our daughter anymore. LOL

I don't really give a shit....haven't bought a mag in years, but i sent my homie who is locked down a sub and the Horse and Cycle Source is all the mail he gets every month. Get your fucking shit together

I doubt they read this stuff over here,,, getting a straight answer on the Horses own pages is an art in itself, This is just a gripe post venting about the lack of info.

But If I was locked up or a remote deployment in the Military and my main entertainment was one of these mags,. I would be seriously upset as well. When I was overseas, No matter what military base I was at, It was a big deal to get mail. (Long before the internet). You would to the base PO and look in the little window and if there was mail in it, Happy day. If it was cool mail from home or something you ordered that was a REALLY Good day,, But even junk mail was better than nothing. Just that piece of paper in that little window gave you a warm fuzzy.

Most would never understand,, it just was that way. So, again long before the internet, snap chat, skype or anything like that.

So, One friend always had armloads of mail most days,,. we asked what the deal was. Simple but crude. He told us... "You know in the back of porn mags there is those ads for $9.99 porn compilation tapes? Order one of those, and they sell your name to every smut mailing list on the planet. Problem solved. Everyday there is mail.!".... So, it did work. Bet it would not in a prison, but for lonely and bored GIs we sure got a lot of enjoyment out of seeing our mailboxs full.

Maybe a stupid comment, but sure beats some lame ass phony tribute to veterans on facebook.

Got this email on 09/12 too...

"We are in the process of sending out Issue #171. We have over 8000 to send out, so it will take a little time. Sorry for the inconvenience."

And I'm still waiting for #171 and #172. I recently sent another email inquiry with no reply. I'd just appreciate an answer, you know?

[jjvass]

I called the advertising rep about 3 weeks ago. She told me that the next issue was in the works and should be out "soon", whatever that means. Having withdrawals, 3+ months without George, Arsen Englishman.....tough starting to get the sssshhhhhhaaakkksss.

That always pisses me off too. I pay for a subscription, and get a preview at the news stand since mine always arrives AFTER its been out for sale at Wally for a week.
