Help moto retro illustrated

[Mike]

I have purchased a years subsription to "Moto Retro Illustrated".  After I sent my money I received an email back from the editor Mitch saying thanks for the support etc.  I've tried to contact them to enquire about when I might receive issue 1 by replying to Mitch's email and through the contacts on their site but my emails keep bouncing back as undeliverable. 

So 3 questions:
Has anyone else purchased a subscription and received issue 1?
Is anyone else having trouble contacting them?
Does anyone know of another way to contact them apart from email?

Lets hope all is well and it's just a glitch in the system.

We subscribed and paid -but it hasn't come out of our bank account yet..
Perhaps they may be waiting on numbers-we may also end up with a limited edition subscription 
cheers

Hi Alison/Steve, money is definately out of my account, lets hope all is well and it's just a delay in postage.

I too subscribed a few weeks ago for a year, I still haven't received my first issue , I did email Mitch a couple of days ago and here is his response.
Hi Mark, if you subscribed in the last few weeks, your issue will be mailed shortly, if you subscribed a while back you should have it by now, let me know and I'll look into it for you, Thanks Mitch.
What concerns me is that I haven't heard of anybody with the first edition yet, maybe any of our fellow USA readers maybe able to tell us if the first issue has surfaced yet over there

What the hell was your rush ? His last effort went arse-up after three isues.

I'm in the same boat, paid my subscription months ago, no magazine in the mail yet...

[Mike]

According to posts on their facebook page issues have been sent out in the US.  I have sent a message via facebook to Mitch and Jim West, I'll wait to hear back and let you know.

Received my Moto Retro Illustrated issue #1 today. (Melbourne post code).
Seems to have come via New Zealand for some reason. Quite damaged which is dissapointing.
Only browsed the photo's at this stage but looks to have some interesting content.

Hi Guys,
Just spoke to Mitch and he appologies for all the delays in delivery. He took a fall from his CR480 and ended up in intensive care with some broken ribs, broken collar bone and a punctured and collapsed lung.

Not surprisingly this has slowed the mail out progress. He indicated that if you subscribed before Aug 10, your copies are in the post [you should have them by now].

If you subscribed after Aug 10 then your copies left on Friday.

If you don't receive your copies, please email him: [email protected] and he will fix it personally.

Wow, important safety tip people....

DON'T start up a Vintage Motorcycle Magazine!

(those who don't know, I also ended up in hospital with a broken back, ribs and punctured lung four days before we purchased VMX  )

Geez, that's nasty. Those big bores can bite hard eh?

I got my copy Friday, not bad at all. I like the broad mix. My favourite articles are the ELR one and the genesis of the Monsoshock Yamaha. Nearly tempted to buy Terry Good's book now! How good do those original Kawi superbikes look, huh? If I were much richer than I am I'd grab me a new ZRX1200, they look the goods.

What better reason for missing work than crashing a CR480, eh? 

What was it that got you, Ajay? Wasn't it some girly trials bike or something? 



Sorry mate.............. 

[AjayVMX]

No I was bitten by what I still consider to be the best off road motorcycle ever produced - the KTM200. 

Unfortunately, my riding ability was nowhere near good enough to ride it at the speed it was capable of and remain in control.

Yeah, I know what you mean........... 
I crap myself if I hit anything bigger than a cigarette butt these days...............
