Well folks, February is already here and I am sure we are all about

ready to kill for a decent riding day. In order to make it through

the long, cold days of winter I have been working diligently on the

Thunder Roads West VirginiaStars-N-Stripes All America Biker

Bash.

Ok, rst things rst. Why such a long name you ask. First, we want

everyone to know that Thunder Roads West Virginia is all about

motorcycling in this state and we are very excited and proud to besponsoring such an incredible event. Second, Stars-N-Stripes, well,

I think it says it all. And lastly, All America Biker Bash is exactly

what it says. This event is for All America and is going to be a big

time Biker Bash like no other.

If you read the January issue you already know how Thunder Roads

West Virginia came to be the sponsor of a West Virginia motorcycle

rally. It was a spark of genius of the late Bill Scott, owner of the

Summit Point Motorsports Park where the rally will be held. Bill

Scott was determined to help America nd its way back to being the

strong, patriotic, self governing nation it was meant to be. Bill Scott

had a rm belief that we motorcyclists may help lead this country

back, as he found us to be the most patriotic collection of Americans

he had ever met.

Over the past few months we have been plotting and planning from

the ground up how to make this event happen. It is amazing the

number of people who have come up to the plate to help out. I have

always said, It is not always what you know, but who you know,

and this kind of help is making the event grow day by day. We are

truly honored to know that you all want to help make this a West

Virginia rally to be remembered.

In that light I would like to put out a call to retail vendors and foodvendors that would be interested in becoming a part of this event. Just

send me an email letting me know a little bit about yourself and your

business and I will get an application out to you.

And for you attendees, the Pre-Registration information is slated to

be on our website at www.thunderroadswv.com by February 1st along

with some of the vendor information, so keep your eyes open.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, your support and your belief in Thunder

Roads West Virginia.

We couldnt enjoy this ride without you.

Ride safe and keep the shiny side up!

Trth be told, there wa no team n the begnnng. There wa onl Jeff, who got th bg to bld a bke mplbecae he felt lke t. He ddnt know abot metal fabrcaton.

The End

So now youve spent your winter months reading

and thinking about the various types of safety gear

available for every inch of your biker body. Go to y

closet, and take a good look at what youve been

wearing. Is that helmet old and smelly? Leathers a

bit past their prime? Textiles getting a bit threadbar

The new riding season is just around the corner, an

this would be a good time to look into replacing tha

ratty old gear with some fresh duds. Look over the

articles from these three issues and think about th

choices you want to make when it comes to safety

comfort and style. Then ip through the magazine

to the ads for the fantastic shops that not only

support Thunder Roads West Virginia, but also offe

everything you need to hit the road looking good!

Ride safe.

An older man approached an attractive younger woman at ashopping mall. Excuse me; I cant seem to nd my wife. Canyou talk to me for a couple of minutes?The woman, feeling a bit of compassion for the old fellow, said,Of course, sir. Do you know where your wife might be?I have no idea, but every time I talk to a woman with hooterslike yours, she magically seems to appear out of nowhere.

One morning 3 Alabama good ole boys and 3 Yankees were ina ticket line at the Birmingham train station heading to Atlantafor a big football game.

The 3 Yanks each bought a ticket and watched as the 3southerners bought just one ticket among them.How are the 3 of you going to travel on one 1 ticket? askedone of the Yanks.Watch and learn answered one of the boys from the south.When the 6 travelers boarded the train, the 3 Yanks sat down,but the 3 southerners crammed into a bathroom together andclosed the door.Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around tocollect tickets.He knocked on the bathroom door and said, tickets please.the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with aticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The Yanks saw this happen and agreed it was quite a cleveridea. Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thingon the return trip and save some money.That evening after the game when they got to the Atlanta trainstation, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while totheir astonishment the 3 southerners didnt buy even 1 ticket.How are you going to travel without a ticket? asked one of theperplexed Yanks.Watch and learn, answered one of the southern boys.When they boarded the train the 3 northerners crammedthemselves into a bathroom and the 3 southerners crammedthemselves into the other bathroom across from it.Shortly after the train began to move, one of the southerners lefttheir bathroom and walked quietly over to the Yanks bathroom.He knocked on the door and said ticket please.

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made mylunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage.I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to backout into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph,so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, anddiscovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went backinto the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.I cuddled up to my wifes back, now with a different anticipation,and whispered, The weather out there is terrible.

My loving wife of 15 years replied, Can you believe my stupid-ass husband is out shing in that mess?And thats how the ght started

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. Sheis not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, I feelhorrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me acompliment.The husband replies, Well, your eyesights damn near perfect.And then the ght started ....

I took my wife to a restaurant. Ill have the Porterhouse steak,rare, please. The waiter said, Arent you worried about themad cow?Nah, she can order for herself. And the ght started.

It is near the Spring Break of the school year. The students haveturned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do.All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have anearly dismissal.Teacher: Whoever answers the questions I ask, rst andcorrectly can leave early today.Little Johnny says to himself Good, I want to get outta here.Im smart and will answer the question.Teacher: Who said Four Score and Seven Years Ago?Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says,Abraham Lincoln.

Teacher: Thats right Susie, you can go home.Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question rst.Teacher: Who said I Have a Dream?Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says,Martin Luther King.Teacher: Thats right Mary, you can go.Johnny is even madder than before.Teacher: Who said Ask not, what your country can do foryou?Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says,John F. Kennedy.Teacher: Thats right Nancy , you may also leave.Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been the rst to answerany of the questions.When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, I wish thesebitches would keep their mouths shut!The teacher, shocked, spins around: Who said that?Little Johnny yells out, TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?
