Publisher’s Note
"By, For, and About Louisiana Bikers"
We've put that on the cover of every issue so far,
and it continues to be the driving force behind our
publication. We are about riding, and we are about
Louisiana. In this issue, Day Tripping brings us into
Texas, and the Gulfport Blowout took us to Mississippi,
but we were there following the Louisiana Bikers, and
letting them tell their own stories.
Mike Phillips took care of our Day Tripping
feature. He rides day trips several times a month, and takes
great photographs, so we expect to feature his trips again in
the future. We'd like to have others do Day Tripping articles
in their part of the state.
Jocelyn Rodriguez went to Gulfport to race in the
Blowout, and gives us a first hand account of her experiences
there. She had some technical problems and didn't get many
runs in, but that doesn't make it any less of a good time. She
will be covering other races for us, from the racer's point of
view.
Beau Thurman did the write up on his custom Road
King. We met him in the parking lot at Hammond HarleyDavidson. The bike is sharp, really classy, but still one of a
kind without being over the top.
The point is, we are here to support the Motorcycling
Community in Louisiana. We don't need to tell you what we
think is cool, or what we're doing. We want to hear from
you. Find us on Facebook, and check out our website at
