A Present to My Readers! (AP Photo/Scholastic Inc.)
On May 12, 2009, I published my first article as your Baltimore Motorcycle Travel Examiner: “Hey Baltimore, Welcome to the Ride!” Since then, I’ve published 81 other articles that have been viewed over 75,000 times!
Writing this column has been a wonderful experience for me. I’ve corresponded with a lot of good people and I’ve made quite a few new friends. John and Monica Tartufo introduced me to Steve Wallach and ETA Travel’s Motorcycle Cruises. These good folks inspired an entire series of articles, including “Motorcycle Cruises, Take Your Motorcycle on a Caribbean Cruise” and “ETA Travel and the History of Motorcycle Cruising.” A fellow RiderCoach told me about the Ephrata First Sunday Breakfast, where I met Merv Hill, a great guy and the President of the Ephrata American Legion Post #429. Grant Parsons, editor of American Motorcyclist Magazine and his assistant, Nora McDonald read, enjoyed and reprinted my daughter Lauren’s article “Freedom, You’re the Passenger” in their magazine. I will forever be grateful for the confidence they helped instill in Lauren! Michael D’Elia of BikerHiWay and Vance Lane of Time Rider, Schtuff for Bikes have been instrumental in providing test products for several articles. I’ve also had a lot of support from other Motorcycle Examiner’s, including: Mark Poesch, the DC Motorcycle Travel Examiner, Patty Davis, the National Motorcycle Travel Examiner and Ken Bingenheimer, the National Motorcycle Examiner.
However, mostly, I’d like to thank you, my readers. Without you, my work would have no purpose. Your feedback, comments and loyalty truly make my efforts worthwhile.
As a small token of my appreciation, I’ve teamed with Vance Lane of the “Time Rider, Schtuff for Bikes” website to provide my readers 15% off the price of any products on the Time Rider website! This discount is valid for the remainder of 2009. To receive the discount, use the Coupon Code “BaltoMCTvlr” when checking out on the Time Rider site. Thanks to Vance for his generosity and thanks again to you, my loyal readers.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
