We're in the midst of an unprecedented worldwide pandemic that has cancelled biker events for the past 2 months and possibly into the foreseeable future. Due to this, we will be skipping our May edition and will be back in June with a larger than normal issue to hopefully kick off our freedom and summer. Our April edition IS at your local dealers and independent shops now, so stop by and say hi.
We're happy to see that Roadshows is still planning to hold Street Vibrations in Reno during June and September and to re-open the Hollister rally in July. Plus our friends in Deadwood are planning their 3 Wheeler Rally in July.
In the meantime, many of our friends and advertisers are open for business and they need your support in these trying times. Please shop local and buy American!

Sequestered in Sedona
By Koz Mraz
In a world quarantined, as masses huddle behind closed doors, the open road calls to all who hear her beckoning. Yeah, I'm six feet away from other people, full face helmet, armored leather jacket, gloves, pants and boots. The virus has us socially distanced but not sequestered, almost anywhere you live, you can ride. And what a ride it is, open roads, fresh air, it's your safe space, helmet time, your personal place to live life on your terms.

The Tale of Two Indian Larry Bikes
By Shannon "Dazzlin" Venturo
Hundreds of motorcycles crossed the auction block as Mecum Auctions brought its annual vintage and antique motorcycle auction to South Point Hotel & Casino January 21-26 in Las Vegas, NV. Patrons can always count on Mecum to find a huge variety of motorcycles up for sale, including dirt bikes, cruisers and racing bikes. Motorcycles from as far back as 1900 were on display and up for grabs. About 1,750 of some of the most sought after collectable and rare motorcycles took their place on the stage with all eyes on the prize. While there were indeed so many under one roof, this is a tale of two bikes!
