Welcome to November! Hopefully there will be some late fall days that are suitable for riding, but if there are, they are surely numbered. Get on and ride as much as you can before the winter hits. Gear up, be
friends and share the wealth, so to speak. I know that we are thankful for all of the loyal sponsors and supporters of the magazine. We could not put this out to you every month without them and we are deeply
cautious of the late season hazards, and just enjoy. When it is time to put
appreciative of them. We are also thankful for the wonderful TRMI family that we have built over the years. The Thunder Roads staffers are second to none and are a wonderful group of folks to work with. There is a superior level of commitment to the biker lifestyle by the staff and it shows in the end product. One more group of people that we are thankful for are the readers of TRMI. Without an audience, all of the sponsors’ ads, the event coverage, and the monthly features would be for nothing. Thank you to all of the sponsors, readers, and staffers of the magazine and being a part of our lives.
them away for a bit, plan your winter upgrades so next spring you can hit the road without delay. Get your parts ordered, schedule your bike at the shop, drop your Christmas list hints to your friends and family, and get things rolling. Check out the sponsor’s shops, dealerships, and accessory dealers on pages 10-12 and hit them up for your winter needs. It helps to keep things going on this end when you frequent the sponsors on those pages. Tell them that TRMI sent ya!
While enjoying the freedom of riding, Vernon and Melanie or doing about anything else enjoying our freedoms, keep our Veterans in mind. November 11th is Veterans Day, and Quote of the Month: “If a fellow isn’t thankful for what without the service of Veterans past and present, we would he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to not have the freedom to do what we want to do and live get.” Frank A. Clark how we want to live. Not that we should ever forget the sacrifices made by service members for our freedom, but the day to acknowledge the holiday is Wednesday November 11th. Thank a Veteran, or as many as you can find that day, for all they have done. Thunder Roads thanks all Veterans The cover this month we are graced with Pete for doing what you did so that we can do what we do! Leehey, Tony Olson, Cameron Leehey, and

Another big deal for the month of November is Thanksgiving. It is a time for us to reflect upon many things and be thankful for what we have. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks! It is about a day every year to jump start our attitudes for being thankful for what we have and those that stand behind us no matter what. It is a day to remember that we should live our lives and be thankful on more than just one Thursday in November. It is about being thankful for what we have done and accomplished in the last year. It is a day to spend with family and 4 - TRMI NOVEMBER 2015
