The following is a recap of a ride through the Hill Country that Lisa and I took in early May.
We were fortunate enough to have the article published in the June 2008 edition of Thunder Roads, ‘The Oldest Motorcycle Magazine in Texas’.

The July issue on Good Times magazine is hot off the press and available for you to pick up in the usual locations.
In it, is the latest installment of our Rubber Side Down column in which we created a Top 10 list of places to play pool for bikers. Not that these places are just for bikers. But rather that you will likely find a few (or a lot) at any of the places mentioned at any given time.
To fit in a little better with the overall ‘tone’ of Good Times, this article is a little ‘edgier’ than our past offerings. Don’t fret, however. We don’t think there is anything in there that would get us censored! 
Enjoy!

Our June article was primarily a recap of our recent travels to the Hill County with a few other tidbits thrown in.
We hope you enjoy it!

Be on the lookout for the April issue of Good Times magazine, which should be in the usual locations now.
For the April issue, we wrote about Mark Pollock, fellow motorcyclist and co-founder of the Dallas Guitar Show. Mark also owns Transpecos Guitars in Alpine, where he is known as a guitar whisperer with his uncanny ability to make a guitar sing any tune he pleases.
The Dallas Guitar Show, which Mark produces today, is the largest show of its kind anywhere. It will be held later this month at Dallas Market Hall April 20, 21 & 22. You can learn more about the Show at www.guitarshow.com.
We are going to make a road trip out of it and while we are there cruise by the Easyriders V-Twin Bike Tour at Dallas Fairpark Centennial Hall. And, of course a classic must-do is the pre-party Friday night at Strokers! We surely won’t be missing that!
Below is an excerpt of our article from the April issue of Good Times Magazine that talks about all of this fun stuff. For the full article, click on the pic below. It’s a really great story with lots of pictures!
You gotta love a guy who invites a girl to ride on the back of his ’91 H-D Springer for a date—from Dallas to Austin and back—with no sissy bar! It was her first ride ever on a motorcycle and now she is his wife of eight years! According to Mark Pollock, guitar whisperer and owner of TransPecos Guitars in Alpine, “not only did she say yes, but she never complained, not even once. How could I not marry a girl like that?†We agree Mary is a ‘keeper’!

The March issue of Good Times Magazine is out and available at various places around town. For our Rubber Side Down article, we put together a Ride/Rally Reference Guide [PDF, 204 KB] that contains a listing of local, state and national rides and rallies that riders from these parts have or plan on attending.
As the ‘disclaimer’ on the article states, it is by no means an all-encompassing list. We just did our best.
Enjoy the article. And if you are a biker and notice that we missed your favorite rally, be sure to let us know.
