Editorz Notez Doobie Sykes Well... Happy New Year to all our friends and supporters from all of us here at Behind Barz Motorcycle Magazine! We hope you have a healthy & prosperous year in 2012!!! Thanks to the sponsors & all of you that turned out at the Behind Barz Bike Nightz in 2011. We enjoyed seeing you and look forward to seeing you again this year. Last year was our second year sponsoring bike nightz and it was both fun, a lot of hard work, and it continues to be a learning experience for us. We plan for even greater fun events for this year’s Behind Barz Bike Nightz Series! We’ve enjoyed publishing and distributing Behind Barz Motorcycle Magazine free for over 7 years now and we’re glad that weve been able to maintain the quality you’ve come to expect in our free publication and appreciate your continued support and input. Because of ever increasing costs of operating a business in this economy we’ve had to make and implement a few changes. Our printing costs have soared, along with mail and distribution costs. So, beginning with the next issue Behind Barz Motorcycle Magazine will sell for $1.50 at most of the same locations you’re accustomed to picking them up. I’ll be publishing an updated list both in the magazine and on the web sites. Thank you again for all the support and input over the years. We have plans for some super issues coming up......... LOOK FOR THE FIRST EVER 3-D ISSUE SOON ! Sincerely, Doobie
Doobie & Moe with Santa!
