\"AmericanMagazine reviews are a great source of information when you’re thinking about buying a used motorcycle. Now the American Motorcyclist Association<\/a> (AMA) has made almost its entire backlog of American Motorcyclist magazines available online for free. From what I see, it looks like the only issues not available are the most recent ones, which stands to reason considering that the magazine is a member benefit.<\/p>\n

In a partnership with Google, the magazines are available in a searchable format, although you can only search one month’s issue at a time. Too bad you can’t say “give me all articles about Eric Buell from between 1995 to 2000.” But hey, I’m not going to be a choosy beggar.<\/p>\n

The way you get to the magazines is a little tricky, but having navigated it myself I’ll make it easier for you.<\/p>\n

First you’ll want to go to http:\/\/books.google.com<\/a> and enter “American Motorcyclist” in the search field. This will take you to a results page and at the top of the list is one for the magazine itself. That’s the one you want.<\/p>\n

Click that and you go to the issue pictured, and if that’s the issue you want you’re set. If you want to see a different issue, click “Browse all issues” over on the right. Then dig your way through the archives.<\/p>\n
