Ok folks I'm sure a lot of you have the same problem. I've got a massive pile of old bike mags. They seem to have some good stuff in them especially the tests and stuff but there taking up a lot if space. Do you keep them? Bin them or do something else?

I can't chuck mine away as i keep going back to them and have hundreds now but they mostly live in the loft

mate of mine scans them and makes digital copies befor he bins them which take up very little space, time consuming but tidy.

If you've got Classic Bike, Jan '02, my old '66 T120 Bonneville is on the front cover. Small pic at the bottom, I'd advertised it for sale and they chose my photo for the cover. Sold the bike on the day the mag came out.
Wish I'd kept it now

Scan the articles I want, and bin the mag afterwards.

I've just had the same dilemma, chucked hundreds of bike/mini/muscle car mags in favour of the internet

That's the one Geodude, my bike's at the bottom. A bloke from Aberdeen rang me and bought the bike on the strength of the photo's and transferred the money into my account the next day. Collected the Bonnie about two weeks later, by which time I'd already put his dosh towards my first Harley, an XL1200 Sport. He's still got the Bonnie and it still starts first kick so I must have got it right, it was a basket case when I bought it.

At my local bike jumble, Rufforth, there's a guy that sells old bike mags at £1 a time. Not really worth doing if that's all you have to sell but if you're planning a bike jumble or similar they may be worth sorting and boxing.

Same here... loads of mags ended up taking space in my garage... then I had to move address and so decided on leaving them there

This one?

£2.85 from www.pigfarmerbikemagazines.co.uk, probably plus post.
Best of luck.
