The start of the madness of the holidays. For some of us it can’t come fast enough, and for some of us it can’t be over soon enough. While you are getting ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years (our favorite), please remember to do at least two things. One is to say a special prayer or blessing for our troops far away from home for their safe return. The second thing is to help us and all of the advertisers in this magazine by giving them your business so we can remain a free publication to our readers. In case you have not noticed on the cover, we have made it official beginning November 1st, 2017. Thunder Roads Louisiana is now Thunder Roads Louisiana and Mississippi. For our first year of having added on the great state of Mississippi, we are concentrating on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and about 40 miles inland. Some of us on staff here rode down the coast a couple of weeks ago and we found some pretty cool biker friendly businesses, including hotels, which is kind of rare here in La. We are introducing our first Mississippi advertiser in this issue- Please make sure you read about The Riverview Inn, and hop on your skoots and pay them a visit. You won’t be sorry! Until next time. Remember where there are bikes there is going to be thunder! Andrew and Renee R.I.P. to all ou r brothers and sisters who lost the ride.
