Letter From the Editor Richard Tilley Owner/editor
CC Biker and Motorsports afloat. Well, that has been a huge challenge and it is taking its toll on my personal heath. So I am Praying 2022 will bring in new and old advertisers or I do not know how long I can rob peter to pay paul to keep the paper going.
Well, it just seems a little unreal that 6 year ago February 12th, 2016 that myself, Benjamin Hill and Mark Pulido started putting CC Biker and Motorsports Newspaper together. I was very nervous about doing this since I am not a biker. I had been working with another biker newspaper and had met so many folks, but was still a bit unsure if I could do it. Well, with a lot of cool Biker Friendly Business Owners help. I was able to put CC Biker newspaper together and we were off and running. It was not an easy task, and I was told to expand a bit and include the whole Motorsports industry, so we did and With God’s help we have manchanged the name to CC Biker aged to stay alive, with a little and Motorsports. help from my other job helping to Most of the advertisers we have covers some of the costs. now, have been with us since day I am hopeful that 2022 will be dif1. Without Y’all CC Biker would ferent and we gain a few more not still be in print today. These Advertisers real soon. I really last couple of years have been can not afford to be digging in my very tough with all this Covid crap. pocket to cover the cost much Shutting most local businesses longer. Until covid the advertisdown while the bigbox stores ers we had at least covered the stayed open. We lost several cost of print, graphics and deliveradvertisers since no sales equals ies. In 6 years, I paid myself one no money to spend to advertise.
With that said, If you own a business and are a Biker Friendly Business we would sure like to talk to you about running an advertisement with us to get the word out who you are and where your business is located.
time and that’s it. Some folks think, OH you own a newspaper you must have money. I only wish that was true, I had another job before covid that paid my bills and they had to shut down March of 2020 due to covid and my income came to a standstill. I did a lot of praying and God helped me get through for a little while until I could fine another way to generate an income to pay my personal bills and help keep
So if you like what we do and stand for please consider reaching out to us and get your advertisement in our upcoming issues. I wanna give a Huge Thank You to All of Our Advertisers for helping us to stay afloat for the last 6 years. Because without you we would have fallen like a lot of local businesses have since March of 2020. God Bless Us All
