Great Night

What a great night stopped by the 100 MPH Club ?Barn Bash what an awesome party. Saw lots of friends and was glad I went those guys know how to throw a party. Then went to Geo's partied with friends sang some karaoke and got much nipple stimulation

Geo's Is Open

Geo's 4307 West Main St will be open this evening as a bar and featuring karaoke. In an incredible show of support local bikers and friends all came together today to help George and Karen clean the place up and the health inspector came by and said you are good to go to open as a bar this evening. So this evening the plan is a quick stop at the 100 MPH Clubhouse for their Barn Bash and then off to Geo's to help support our friends in both places.

Knowledge

There comes times in life when you would like to give your knowledge to others. A daughter when she comes home with someone that is bad news. A friend when you see them going down a path you already have. I know from my own experience I thought that things would be different but you know what it never is. So you just support the people you care about in the paths they choose and hope for the best outcomes for them.

Our Thoughts and Prayers

Go out to George and Karen owners of Geo's Wings last night there was a fire at the restaurant luckily no one was injured. There was some damage but most was confined to one area and then the smoke. They are already starting on clean up and they will need our support more than ever this year. They have always been there for the community so keep them in your thoughts to please.

Coincidence

That someone posts here as Chaos shortly after a phony Chaos Nation page was set up on Facebook. Whoever did that misspelled Chaos though.

Putting the finishing touches on the March issue

I am finishing up the March issue and I think it will be one that makes us proud. It won't be long now till we will be celebrating completion of our 8th year of publication. Quite an accomplishment in these days and one I thank all of you for making possible. It is your support of the magazine and our advertisers that make that possible. I am looking forward to a very enjoyable riding season and seeing many of you out there on the roads.

Military ID

I have received several comments on my posting of my military ID in this month's magazine. I wanted to let people know a little about my background and the reason for my support of the military and veterans. The response has been overwhelming and I appreciate the support many have shown me.

Wide Open Show

Well the Wide Open Show is over and it was a great weekend for us. We got to see tons of friends and supporters and also maybe met some folks who will help the business. I need to be reminded sometimes that it is a business. One potential advertiser took a survey of attendees between us and our competitors and told me the results were overwhelming in our favor. Thanks to all of our supporters.

Also our apologies to not making the benefit in Highland but by the time we got loaded up, it was pretty late.

Things Have Been Crazy

Well it has been a few days since I've [posted here. The world is spinning pretty fast right now. Hopefully it slows down soon. Joy and I had a great time at the show in Chicago. It is really something you should experience it dwarfs anything that goes on around here and deserves the description extravaganza. The snow there wasn't as bad as we thought it might be and there were huge crowds, been busy delivering magazines and doing other things this week and now we are getting set to go to the Wide Open Show this weekend at the family Arena in St Charles this is always a good time and we invite you to stop by our booth while you are there. Also on Sunday there is a benefit at the Corner Keg in Highland it starts at 1:00 and goes for a while. We hope to stop by there after the show for a minute.

Whatever you do this weekend and it looks like some of you may be lucky enough to get some riding in. Have fun and as always thanks for making us part of your biking life.

Get Well Wishes

One of The Biking Life family members is in the hospital tonight. Monty writer, photographer and a good and loyal friend is in the hospital this evening. It is not known what is wrong at the present time but it is serious. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family and we ask that you keep him in your thoughts as well. Thanks

Dug The Truck Out Today

Finally got the truck rolling today and actually not a bad day at all. Just a little while till it will be time to get back out on the road and head to Chicago for one of the biggest swap meets around at McCormick Place. Last year this was a lot of fun and this year promises to be even better depending on what the weather gods have in store for us. Also depending on when they arrive tomorrow you may start seeing the magazine at local establishments as early as tomorrow but maybe later. I hope you have a great weekend and hey if you are not doing anything then head on up to Chicago and Sunday The Nut in Freeburg will be having a Super Bowl Party.

Storm of The century

Well if this was the storm of the century this is going to be a very tame century. We got stuff like this in Milwaukee all the time and we did not need 24 hour weather coverage. Hell there was more snow the weekend before. Well maybe some day the weather people will get something right.
