Letter from the Publishers
It ’ s hard to believe another year has flown by . With this new year there is a lot of new found hope . You can feel it in the air and in the aura that surrounds people when you talk to them . The excitement for 2017 in Louisiana is based on the premise of the oil field coming back in full swing . With the promise of new jobs , which will stimulate the economy for all of us in this great state , we will prevail . We have overcome the floods , political corruption and the countless accounts of mindless hatred protests . It won ’ t be long before riding season is here and we all get to dust off our scooters and ride into the wind .
From the staff of Thunder Roads Magazine , we would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year . Please support the advertisers found within our pages of this issue . When you support them , you support small business , and that supports YOU . The next time you see a Veteran , Policeman , Fireman or Emergency Service , Thank them for their service .
Andrew and Renee
