Well, cuss! Here we are. 22 years and 265 issues after our initial issue in August of 1998. It has been one helluva journey, or should I say “ride”? Whatever! It has been an adventure to say the least. I think we have experienced the buffet of good times and bad, documenting the history of motorcycling in the Carolinas. We have seen the birth of businesses, economic down turns, friends get married and some get divorced, too. We have seen a bunch of startup magazines and even some well-established national publications fade into the rearview mirror of time. We have shared joy, heartbreak, and even death on our pages. It truly has been an adventure. However, we cannot take all the credit for our success. We have had and still have a staff of dedicated salespeople and contributors along with many loyal advertisers to mention who all helped make it happen. Looking forward, we are in it for the long haul and will continue publishing The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine every month and on time!

We hope that as many of you as possibly can will come celebrate our 22nd Anniversary/ Bike Night with us at our office (711 W. Main Street, Jamestown, NC) from 6-9pm on August 11th. See the display ad in this issue for more details. We hope to see you then and for the foreseeable future.

Ride on !
