Hello, and welcome to another issue of Back Street Heroes. We were sad to hear of the demise of 100% Biker magazine a few weeks ago; it’s never great when anyone in the motorcycle world, especially the custom motorcycle world (cos it’s not that big to begin with), goes under – there are so few people left these days who truly have a passion for what they do.
Yeah, they were operating in the same market as us, but it’s still a shame, and we all wish everyone who worked there the best for the future in whatever they do. Magazines right across the board, not just in the motorcycling world, are really up against it these days due to the influence of the internet. It wasn’t that long ago, 2015, that Superbike, one of the biggest mainstream magazines, launched back in 1977, was forced to close, and is only available as an online publication now.
