No mention of Kelsey taking over in OBM

Posted by Greeves Rider on April 5, 2025, 7:37 pm

Received the April issue of Old Bike Mart this week, no mention of the Kelsey takeover. There is a 10 page 'advertorial' plugging the Stafford show but again no mention of Kelsey!

Possibly the issue was prepared a month or two before?

RC is mostly tosh this month. It was fantastic two issues back, so good I was persuaded to take out a subscription. I've been disappointed since. Grrrrr.

I have to agree, Cathcart's sentences are often so long that I have to go back to the start to try and understand exactly what it is he's trying to say. Overall, "good issues" or "not so good issues" aside, it's still the best mag out there. Maybe that's not too difficult when the alternatives are CB or TCM though.

I get four bike mags Old bike Austra, Real Classic and MCN, Old bike mart the most interest to me OBA sits different to the usual . MCN dose give good road tests on new machines .. plus results of sport .the other two no comment occasionally interesting but not always handy for covering the workshop tops

I gave up my RC subscripiton several years ago. I felt it had become rather repetitive over the 15 years or so I was a subscriober.

I've just done a bit of nosing around at companies house. Mortons haven't sold their titles to Kelsey at all! Mortons Media Group still own the titles. However, What appears to have happened is that the majority owner of Kelsey Media has bought Mortons Media Group.
