The knockout blonde on this month’s cover braved Iowa’s frigid winter snow, donning nothing but a new bikini and a teeth chattering smile. Carrie Rohde is her name and surprisingly, the winter shoot idea was the bombshell’s own undertaking. With her good looks and rock hard body, she made Nate Ullrich’s Heritage Softail look like nothing fancier than a well-oiled moped. If this snow bunny’s frost bitten lips aren’t enough to chill your bones, then get this; she also agreed to pose for these photos on her ex-husband’s bike. Yeah, her and Nate had a night of drunken disobedience many years ago, which ultimately led to a long hung-over explanation, not much more than 24 hours later, to undo their drunk and disorderly deeds. All’s well these days though, now that Carrie is happily married to her husband Jason, and many folks around Iowa know that Nate and Theresa have been together for years. Carrie spends a lot of time in the summer months riding with Jason on their Dyna, but it still seems Carrie might still be a little hung-up on some feelings from that 24 hours of heavenly bliss many moon ago… The two couples are all good friends these days, but while hanging out at the bars in eastern Iowa, Carrie can’t seem to keep her hands off Nate’s luscious long locks. Yeah, he’s one of them long haired biker type, and Carrie’s still got a soft spot for that “rock star” look, so after a couple cold ones, the pair still bicker at each other like the old days, while Jason and Theresa just sit back and laugh. Better yet, many times they meet at a bar, and Jason tries to make a quick escape, leaving Nate there to baby-sit his ex. But, Nate’s quickly learned to keep an eye on the doors when he arrives, because face it Jason, you’re the one who signed the papers this time.
