Letter From The PublisherJim Furey, Publisher

We are rapidly approaching the midpoint of the summer and I marvel at where the time has gone. It seems like the riding season has just started. I know that the floods have affected both advertisers like the good folks at Cedar Hill Resort and also friends of the magazine like Jon Holloway and I know we are all suffering because of the gas prices. Speaking at marveling at where the time has gone, we have now passed our 5th Anniversary of this magazine, the only free independent magazine in this area. We have grown together you have seen our growth both physically and also in quality. And we continue to strive to expand our size and improve our quality. I thank you our loyal readers for your support of the magazine and our advertisers over these past 5 years. I think you deserve something for that support so I invite you to attend our 5th Anniversary Poker Run and Party. It is going to be on August 10th. read more

Return to Litchfield

Each spring hundreds of motorcycles make the pilgrimage to the town of Litchfield. Niehaus Cycle Sales on old Route 66 is the central Illinois destination of these bikers. This year was the 22nd annual Appreciation Days hosted by Brad Niehaus and his cordial staff. Niehaus is a full line dealer for both the Honda and Yamaha including bikes, ATVs, scooters, utility vehicles and boats. But it doesnt stop there because they also sell and service several brands of trike conversions, sidecars and trailers. One look at their inventory of in stock bikes and their walls of goodies, answers the question of why Goldwing riders through the Midwest ride the extra miles to get to Niehaus Cycle. read more

An Inkling Tattoo of the Month

Once again one of our loyal readers and supporters has allowed us the privilege of bringing her ink to you. This month’s tat can be seen on “Cat” a young lady from O’Fallon, IL. She told me it started out with the cat face which Donny at the Inkwell did. She went on to say “I was inspired by a friend to have the tattoo enhanced, and Mike O'Neill in Fort Collins, Colorado added the flowers and stem work.” I'm very happy with it. My only regret is not having it done sooner. In addition to sporting some really cool tats she also has a really badass Big Dog which has been seen in many shows including our most recent show

If you think your tattoo should be here send us a pic and a little info to tats@thebikinglife.com and you never know.
