or does everyone else insist on keeping all their old bike mags?? sorting out the garage yesterday and i have bloody hundreds of them, all in dry pack boxes in new condition... can't bring myself to throw any away!! anything you guys just cant seem to get rid of?
No Jimbo, it's not just you. I'm trying really hard to bin crap that's only ever been moved from one loft to another as I've moved house. With bike mags it's worse as when I do go to bin them Mrs ken says 'why don't you pass them onto...' then they get piled up by the chair again until whoever I've put them back for turns up. Then, more often than not, I forget to hand them over. Just last week I filled a wheelie bin with old VCR, xbox, camera, telescope, phone (mobile and landline) packaging that not only was out of warranty (the only reason for keeping them in the first place), but in many cases had been binned themselves. Plus I've got another pile waiting for the next bin collection. That's just boxes. Once they're all gone I'll actually be able to see all the crap that came in them. Including, I noticed, some still boxed engagement presents. Mrs ken and I celebrated our Silver Anniversary this year!
It's not just you. All of my old issues of Ride and Superbike are piled up on a bookshelf at home. I often enjoy reading the old issues again as I usually read the current magazine very quickly and find myself wanting more "bike reading" before the next issues are out!
If anybody wants rid of em, you can post em free to the lads in Afghanistan. Anybody interested? I'll post an address?
great cause, but unfortunately im not ready to let go of mine! hence the huge stash....much to the annoyance of mrs V still trying to find a way to store them in the garage so that they are all in order and accessible for garage nights!!
Yup I have a few .. had many more but got shut when I moved here in 91 ... then again for the Millenium ... now more
Ah...Classic Ogri. Those were the days. White sea boot hose rolled over the top of your boot... Jumpers for goal posts.
I see old issues on ebay now . About 4 years ago i took a huge pile of bike and car mags to a car boot sale , Wrote £1.00 each on them and i sold the lot in half hour . People went nuts for them
