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.
