I subscribed to Freeway France when I was in prison and nearly all of the pitiful French that I know, I learned from that magazine. I have not seen one in years. There is also Freeway Italy and it is not just a reprint in Italian. You will love both of these magazines. They have a companion magazine called Kustom that is very cool too.

Now if Mad Cyril would just put the link to their website I would look them up and get an online subscription.

Hi Big,
Sorry but (for now at least) the magazine is only published in French, Italian and there’s also a slightly different Spanish version called Custom Machines. You can get in touch with the main office of Freeway France to get a copy, be it just a single issue or a subscription. Unfortunately, I’m not taking care of these issues as I don’t even live in the same part of the country as the Freeway Headquarters. I wrote both of the Boozefighters articles, the one published about 3 years ago and the current one, but would have no time to translate them. I guess that Marco, from the French BFMC Chapter, did a translation of the recent article to show it to the American members. You could ask him.
Thanks for your interest !
Charlie

Just to answer Rodent’s comment, yes it’s true that there are no big French motorcycle manufacturers remaining today but we have fantastic custom bike builders here, as well as in all other European countries. But of course you know that already. What you might not know is that there have been over 200 different motorcycle brands in France between 1900 and the 1950′s, including one obscure brand called “De Dion Bouton”. As the legend goes, plans of such a French engine were used by William Harley and Arthur Davidson to create the first prototype of their single cylinder motor.
There are other French magazines dealing with vintage French bikes, but we just happen to be in love with Harleys and American V-Twins. And when it comes to cars, we also like your big V8 engines, even if gas is more expensive here in France that on your side of the pond.
Cheers !
