Letter from The Editor WHOA! Where has the year gone? Suddenly, I look around and the year has slipped on by. That’s what happens when we are living life on two wheels. I have to ask….Who all is going to make their way over to Bikes Blues and BBQ? This is one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the United States and it’s right here in our own backyard. If you’ve never been, it’s a good way to see the Ozark mountains, ride the Pig Trail highway, experience the Nation’s biggest vendors including demo rides, biker schwag and more. Some of the highlights for me are the riding, the party at Pig Trail Harley-Davidson, cruising Dickson Street and Stokes Air Battle of the Bikes on Saturday. My favorite ride is the South end of the Pig Trail returning back on Hwy 71 to the Baum Stadium area. There I park in the free parking lot, jump on the train (small fee) and ride to Dickson Street to see the vendors, food and bands on the main stage. After the rally, please join me for the Talimena With T ride October 14 in Southeast Oklahoma. I will be hosting a casual ride across this beautiful mountain, stopping at vistas for sightseeing, photos, games and getting to know other riders with the intent of having fun. We will make a stop at End of Trail Saloon for lunch then back on the mountain to proceed to Talihena. There we will travel a bit further on to Chuck’s Cycle where they will host us for a great evening with a live band and a ride in movie! What a great time! It’s nothing fancy this year, it’s just a ride for fun people to meet other riders in a scenic riding area of SE Oklahoma/SW Arkansas. See ad in this issue and more details next month as we head into Fall riding season. September 26 and October 24, join me in Stillwater, OK at the Cigar Box, 717 McElroy Rd for Stillwater Bike Night. We have a great sponsor in the Cigar Box who want to show us a Smokin’ great time! Everyone ride safely out there! Enjoy the cool temps slowly sliding in to my favorite, Hoodie Riding Season! I know many of you can relate to that!
