No idea if it is still running. And that was advertising driven. There also used to be a magazine put together specifically for Despatch Riders/Couriers - and I know that ran adverts. Trouble is getting the advertising! There are "proper" titles out there that struggle to get advertisers on board, despite having reasonable (as far as I know) sales figures. If I'm honest, I don't really know how you go about setting up a magazine - something like this you'd need to make available by post I'd guess and attend every show going to sell more copies/get more subscriptions... and it costs money to take space at shows. For example... this is the cost of space at the MCN London Motorcycle Show: Shell Scheme £137 per m2 + VAT Space only £110 per m2 + VAT Or in other words, quite a lot of cash! Reckon it could be done, but it'd need someone who was able to dedicate all their spare time to the project. And, of course, there is the little matter of finding enough material of decent quality to fill the pages, month in... month out... year after year...
