It seems to me that things don’t often turn out the way I expect them
to turn out. The unexpected just creeps in and suddenly everything is
different than you ever imagined. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The
unexpected can make life more interesting. After all, it is the twists and
turns that make the ride more interesting even if there are a few bumps
and potholes along the way.
The last time the unexpected arrived at my door was a several months
ago when I first learned that Thunder Roads Colorado needed a new
publisher. I was surprised, I had commented to my wife several times
while reading Thunder Roads Colorado that it would be a fun to have a job
with motorcycles and put out a magazine like Thunder Roads Colorado.
I never expected to publish a magazine. I didn’t plan that in my career
planning. Yet somehow, here I am the new publisher of Thunder Roads
Colorado. I thought it would be fun to work in the motorcycle industry, most
everyone I met said they loved it. So when that unexpected knocked on the
door, my wife and I did some planning and let it percolate for a few weeks.
Then we jumped and here I am writing my first letter from the editor.
I can certainly say that it has made my life more interesting and I
am excited that Thunder Roads Colorado returns after only a short
hiatus earlier this year. Thunder Roads Colorado has been serving the
motorcycle community in Colorado since 2004 and will continue to bring to
our readers the great monthly features they expect, like our Technical Tips,
Ladies up Front and Veterans columns. Readers will also find articles and
news of interest, ads from our partners for products and services that serve
the Colorado motorcycling community.
Colorado is a fantastic place for motorcycling, from the cruisers, sports
bikes and adventure touring bikes seen on our city streets and mountain
roads to the dirt bikes and off-road vehicles on specialty tracks and trails
tucked into the hills. The great mountain west is a haven for all things on
two-wheels—and a few on three.
Thunder Roads Colorado is the magazine dedicated to motorcycling-whether it is on the paved-highways or on the dirt-pathways, few states
can offer what Colorado does for two-wheeled on and off road sports.
My partner Carrie and I are proud to bring you the latest news, product
reviews, feature articles and advertising from our local and national
partners. Between these covers every month you will find the best that
Colorado has to offer; articles of interest ranging from product reviews
to news, to the best routes, roads, paths, trails, events, bars, restaurants
and businesses bringing you the best in motorcycling merchandise and
services for you to visit on your two wheeled adventures.
Thunder Roads Colorado is Colorado’s Motorcycle Magazine. Brought
to you free each month, Thunder Roads Colorado is distributed through
dealerships, restaurants, clubs, motorcycle-friendly businesses, and at
select motorcycle events across the state of Colorado. Subscriptions are
available—you just pay shipping and handling.
We would like to thank everyone in the community for welcoming
Thunder Roads Colorado back to our state and look forward to seeing you
here next month!
