'Motorcycle Voyager'
I was browsing through the motorbike/car section in our local WH Smiths this afternoon when I surprisingly came across a brand new bike magazine - Motorcycle Voyager. It's nicely presented, and at £3.40 it bloody well should be, and it seems to cover the touring side of motorcycling. Issue No1 has articles about Yosemite, riding a Blackbird through Devon, riding through Iran, and to Australia and back. They also make some nice comments about Horizons Unlimited. It sounds like an English mag after our own hearts!

I got it to. Thought it was very good but a bit dear.
Worth a looking for though.

Was riding around Trafalgar Sq (London) on Sunday and two guys were parked up with fully loaded KTMs. They were just about to ride off to Australia! And were two journo's from this magazine. They will be writing monthly reports. Should be interesting...

Saw it, bought it and wished I'd spent the purchase price on internet time for the Horizons Unlimited site. Once the ads are stripped out and the type reduced there really isn't a huge amount of content for the price. However, it's early days yet so I'll give it another couple of tries. The idea behind the mag is refreshing and makes a change from the normal fare.
