Publisher ’ s Note
This has been a rough month in many parts of our state . Severe rains caused massive flooding all over , including around my own neighborhood . Many staff members were affected , and many events we had planned to cover for this issue were cancelled , or just unreachable .
Despite the road closures , the power outages , the missed events , and occasional loss of Internet , I think we have come up with a pretty good issue for you . We have Part 2 of our “ From Passenger to Rider ” series , this time Ashley took the rider ’ s course at Hammond Harley-Davidson . It was her first time ever riding a bike on her own , and she did a great job . It was a lot of fun for me just being around to watch her do that .
We got to go the the Lafayette airport to see the Wings of Freedom Tour , that was definitely worth the trip . We didn ’ t get to fly in one of the planes this time , but that is in the plans for next year .
Our online growth has been phenomenal , and now we are growing our print circulation as well . We have been printing more and more copies each month , but there are never enough to go around . We are increasing by 25 % this month , and will increase 25 % above that for the May issue . At that point , we ’ ll be printing twice as many copies each month compared to any other magazine in the state , as far as we know . I hope that ’ s enough to go around . Thanks for the support , and we ’ ll keep doing what we do . 100 % Original . 100 % Louisiana , 100 % Motorcycles .
