Where is the fall weather? We cannot wait for some brisk air and for all this rain to be over! I want to just remind you all of two things. For one, we ask that while you are thinking about Christmas gifts and all the holidays coming up to PLEASE shop at the businesses within the pages of this magazine, as they are the supporters of the biker community, and they are the reason this magazine is free to you the reader. The second thing is that if you do not know already, please go to our website and click on subscription. Its FREE! And will be automatically be emailed to your email address on the 1st of each month. We try to get the magazine to every major city in Louisiana and all the biker friendly places on the gulf coast, but sometimes the little towns in between, must drive to a local biker friendly business or Harley Davidson dealership in the nearest major city, so we just wanted to remind you to go to the website to stay in touch and informed. NO sales rep will call on you or sell your email address out to any third-party companies! www. thunderroadslams.com Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And God bless America! Remember, where there are bikes there is going to be thunder! Andrew and Renee R.I.P. to all of our brothers and sisters in the wind who lost the ride.

Special Thanks & Contributors 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 readers who provide us with their stories and information every month. Please keep them coming! Thanks to our facebook followers that post the cool pictures. 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! Finding a location to shoot the cover was quite the challenge after 3 postponements due to bad weather, but finally, even with the rain, we shot it in only 50 takes!! HAHA! The theme of course is Thanksgiving and “coming home for the holidays” So… Andrew thought he would take you back to the first Thanksgiving complete with a pilgrim and Indian princess, (except that there were no motorcycles then). Complete with Meaty the English bull dog, and chasing down a turkey were all part of the production. We hope you enjoy this cover along with the great articles and photos inside. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
