It was bound to happen. With a world scale economic and financial crisis and internet news getting more and more readers, newspapers and magazines are suffering. Even in the world of motorcycle aficionados, motorcycle mags are on the way out. Last month Cycle World was up for sale.

Now, Source Interlink, a corporation with 75 magazines in its product portfolio, have announced that they are filing for Chapter 11. This means that the following magazines are now in danger of being closed down:

  • ATV Rider
  • Baggers
  • Dirt Rider
  • Hot Bike
  • Motorcycle Cruiser
  • Motorcyclist
  • Sport Rider
  • Street Chopper
  • Super Street Bike

That’s bad news for the motorcycle world. Even the motorcycle industry is being hit hard by the economic downturn. Maybe Obama can do a stimulus package for the motorcycle publications….
