First and foremost we would like to express our sincere thanks to our advertisers
and sponsors without whom this magazine could not exist. To all of our faithful

To all of our contributors that help make all of our special photo shoots and
charitable events a success. And a special shout out of love to our beautiful
Louisiana Ladies that model for us every month for our readers viewing
pleasure! Your grace, beauty, style and class are priceless to our magazine!
In one blink, we are celebrating a new year. 2018 was a crazy year
worldwide.
World politics and social affairs, left us angry and divisive and
many of us lost a loved one or watched others suffer in some way.
We can only strive to make our own personal worlds better and
that equation is mostly accomplished by helping those who are
struggling or are in great need.
The New York ball drop represents the exact time that our year
ends and begins. It’s a moment of change and to let the previous
year be shelved and start a new book in your individual life. The
mass of people applauding and partying as they witness our new
year arrive, is only about them and could care less about you.
As a rider, my concept for this cover means to be more aware of the
new obstacles we all face when on our bikes. Look out at the crowd
around you when on the road and never trust a stranger driving
their vehicle. True freedom involves protecting one’s self and being
the best at preventing an incident by someone else’s, and your
own mistakes. I personally, ride thinking that every person driving
any type of vehicle is texting on their cell phone. That habit makes
my mind relax so I can be faster to respond to those idiots that pull
out in front of me from side streets and change lanes with zero
warning. It’s about time that we use our heads when riding and
strive harder not to be some loved one’s bad news in 2019.
From our hearts at Thunder Roads LA/MS Gulf Coast stay safe and
stay alive~
