VERY RARE - ONE PRINT - "AMERICA'S RIDE" MAGAZINE - HARLEY DAVIDSON'S 90TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION in MILWAULKE, WISCONSIN 1993


THIS MAGAZINE WAS PURCHASED BY MYSELF AFTER RETURNING FROM THE REUNION IN 1993. ONE OF THE COUPLES WE WENT WITH, CALLED US UP TO TELL US TO LOOK FOR "AMERICA'S RIDE" MAGAZINE BECAUSE ALL OUR PICTURES WERE IN THE CENTER FOLD OF A SEA OF BIKES. I WENT TO OVER 30 STORES, YET NO ONE HEARD OF "AMERICA'S RIDE" MAGAZINE. I FINALLY FOUND A STORE 30 MILES AWAY THAT HAD TWO COPIES OF THEM AND PURCHASED THEM BOTH. SURE ENOUGH, THERE WERE MY WIFE AND I AND ALL OUR FRIENDS IN THE CENTER FOLD PICTURE. I PUT THEM BOTH IN PLASTIC AND ADDED THEM TO MY HARLEY COLLECTIBLES IN MY DISPLAY CABINET, WHERE THEY HAVE SAT FOR TWENTY YEARS.
DUE TO AGE, I RECENTLY STARTED TO SELL MY HARLEY DAVIDSON COLLECTIBLES  AND I CAME ACROSS THESE MAGAZINES. I ATTEMPTED TO LOOK UP THE ORIGIN OF THE MAGAZINE SINCE I HAD NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE OR SINCE. ALL INTERNET SEARCHES PROVIDED NO "AMERICA'S RIDE" MAGAZINE SO I LOOKED FOR THE PUBLISHER. THE MAGAZINE WAS PRODUCED BY "LARRY FLYNT PUBLISHING" OF HUSTLER MAGAZINE FAME, SO I CONTACT THEM IN CALIFORNIA. I WAS PUT IN TOUCH WITH THIER ARCHIVE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THEY DID PUBLISH TWENTY TWO (22) DIFFERENT ONE TIME PRINT MAGAZINES, THAT THIS WAS NOT THIER WORK. THEY HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAVE COPIES OF EVERY MAGAZINE THEY HAVE EVER PUBLISHED AND THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. SHE ASKED ME FOR THE NAMES OF ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE PUBLISHER'S PAGE AND AFTER I TOLD HER, SHE CONFIRMED THAT YES, THESE WERE ALL PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE. SHE ASKED IF I COULD SEND HER PHOTOS OF THE COVER, PUBLISHER'S PAGE AND OTHER ASSORTED PHOTOS FROM THE MAGAZINE. UPON INVESTIGATING, THEY ADMITTED THAT YES IT MUST BE THIER'S AND A ONE PRINT MAGAZINE, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE A COPY OR RECORD OF PRODUCING IT, ONLY PEOPLE WHO REMEMBERED THAT THEY DID. I OFFERED TO SELL THEM ONE OF MY COPIES, BUT THEY REFUSED, SAYING IT WAS THIER POLICY NEVER TO PURCHASE THIER OWN MATERIAL. I OFFERED ONE OF MY COPIES TO THEM FOR FREE, IF LARRY FLYNT WOULD SIGN MY OTHER COPY AND HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS ANYWHERE EVEN ON THE INTERNET. A VERY RARE, UNIQUE AND REALLY QUITE AN INFORMATIVE HISTORY OF HARLEY DAVIDSON' FIRST 90 YEARS AND THE CELEBRATION. DID YOU GO TO THE 90TH REUNION? IS YOUR PICTURE IN THIS MAGAZINE? THE MAGAZINE IS IN MINT UNREAD CONDITION EXCEPT A VERY TINY FOLD IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.

Aston Martin adds a V8 Vantage S

Tue, 25 Jan 2011

Slotted between Aston Martin's vaunted V8 Vantage and the venerable V12 variant comes a tweener model that promises to be anything but vague: Aston is adding the S variant, with more power and an upgraded transmission. The Vantage S draws power from the 4.7-liter V8 making 430 hp, 10 hp more than in the base Vantage. The S also adds 15 lb-ft of torque, boosting total twist to 361 lb-ft.

Rinspeed to debut autonomous XchangE concept at Geneva motor show

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Dutch coachbuilder Rinspeed has built a reputation for imagining and creating cars from 10 years in the future and making them a reality, either for well-heeled customers or for auto show crowds. So it came as no surprise when it revealed its newest project slated for the 2014 Geneva motor show, meant to preview the interiors of the self-driving cars of tomorrow. Yes, that's a Tesla Model S underneath with a (mostly) muted restyling of the front fascia, though it is really the interior that's meant to be the showpiece.

AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept shows off ahead of PS3 appearance

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Mercedes-Benz has revealed a spectacular new virtual sportscar concept created by its in-house design team for inclusion in Sony's new PlayStation 3 game "Gran Turismo 6." Called the AMG Vision Gran Turismo, the brawny-looking gullwing coupe is to be revealed as a model at the opening of Mercedes-Benz's new research-and-development center in Sunnyvale, Calif., on the eve of next week's LA Auto Show. Yet despite the unveiling in 1:1 scale, the new two-seater is destined to remain a feature of the virtual world as the first in what Mercedes-Benz is billing as a series of Vision Gran Turismo vehicles to be unveiled in the near future. While the virtual properties of the AMG Vision Gran Turismo mean it will only ever see running as a high-resolution graphic within the new "Gran Turismo 6" game, this hasn't deterred Mercedes-Benz from providing it with detailed styling and mechanical data -- elements of which are said to provide solid hints to the upcoming GT AMG due to be unveiled in mid-2014 as a range-topping replacement for the SLS AMG.
