To me HL and glory shouldn't be used in the same sentence. If ever there was a bike that's all wrong, that's the one. Now Hoony my boy, how could one argue against those absolute RC works of art. Superb in every way. They even won races.

probably some of the early sold out ones ones. im still trying to get issues 3,4,5,6 they are the only ones i cant find yet to complete my set.

yeah i was missing one issue (maybe 7)  and paid a rather large amount of cash for it....appreciating better than Rio Tinto shares....whats a complete set worth, I would want 1000s for mine given the hours they have entertained me.

I don't know which issue of VMX sold the most , but I know which one is the most valuable & fetches the highest prices on ebay . That would be number 4 & is probably so sought after because it has write ups on three very special motorcycles . They would be the '81 Maico 490 , '79 KX250A5 & '74 Mag CR250 Husky .

All this discussion shows how varied the magazine has to be ,and obviously is............if everyone only gets one piece of interest out of it ,it's still a winner ;D ;D ;D                It has to be the best vintage DIRT BIKE (of all disciplines) available !

Any one also getting the Pommy one, its pretty good and well worth a sub. Probably not as much MX stuff but if you like a good BSA (yeah I know another contradiction in terms) then it is cool. plus nobody loves a 4 stroke special like the Brits do.   ;D

Im with the guys on issue one, not for any other reason that it is just a plan cool shot of a man doing what he loved and that is riding motorbikes!

Come to think of it I am yet to see a cover shot I didn't like??

VMX is my favorite magazine.
I like it so much it has put me off other magazines and I don't buy the others anymore.

Were the ones out of print some of the lower print numbers ? 

im assuming in the start the first 10 issues were in far less print than say the last 10 resent ones, So by any stretch when people finally knew they were out, by say issue 3 and on they were buying up what already was a small production run based on the sales on the first 3 issues sold and thus the demand versus actual made was already high before they hit the streets.

Or maybe im talking shit and they got lost in a delivery truck and thus less hit the street, or   ..........  well maybe print numbers where all guesses based/done on a sundial and the amount of cows that could be counted in the next paddock in line with the dial, timed by 2,000 then divided by chickens that layed that day -2.
