     Pick up a copy of Biker Living!

Heck, pick up a handful & share them...

‘Biker Living’ presents a motorcyclists view of the rider’s, biker lifestyle... for, by and about the riders of a local area... our purpose is to assist in promoting upbeat, healthy, safe and personable riding communities. We help build the 'bridges' that connect every facet of the riding community (we don't care what you ride) by providing an outlet through our print publication... Biker Living, with the help of our incredible advertising sponsors, provides the space for you, in fact for all of us that love to ride around here, to share, educate, inform and network!

The idea of creating a 'Biker-People' magazine was inspired by the riding communites of Central Texas... the heart of it being Austin, where changes are being made within the riding communities here that affect bikers nationwide and even globally based on the efforts of Club Members and Independent Riders who see that we are not just motorcycle riders... but a community of people that are capable of huge positive changes in our world!

Through the United Clubs of Texas, the Texas Confederation of Clubs & Independents, the U.S. Defenders and COIR (Coalition of Independent Riders)  we have become a real community, a family that cares for each other and watches out for each other. It is because of these efforts, which common media chooses to not notice, that 'Biker Living!' was born... no sixty second television clip on a rainy toy run day can tell the general community all that we do... with your input, the pages of this little rag can though... Biker Living has become a voice, not in anger, no rants.. just the simple honest truth of our lifestyle... as seen in every overstuffed page of every overstuffed issue, filled with the activities you are involved in... and hey, we're a busy community, aren't we... we have a lot to share, a lot to be proud of, so there's no room for 'white space' around here!

We share stories of our lives, our passions... we share informative articles to help make every mile of road you travel a bit easier... we share educational and political information to keep you abreast of what is being done within this great riding community so that you can make better choices and become a part of it in a way where you feel you would best fit...

Everyone has a place in life...

You are welcome to join us,

Club Member or Independent rider... 

No matter what you ride, or don't ride...

 

Our Goal at 'Biker Living'... is to have fun, ride, make friends

and did I mention have fun... hey, we're Bikers!

... or people who like bikers... or people bikers like... hey, we just wanna have fun... and ride of course! But we also want to do what we do... and share what we share... and that's what this little rag is all about... so get out there, pick one up somewhere, drop some off somewhere and become a part of this readin' ridin' rollin' family too!

In case you haven't found a copy yet and wonder why you should bother...   We fill every page to the edges with as much as we can, depending on what you've sent us from the events, benefits, rides and meetings you've been rollin out to... and you can tell by all the photos that this riding community does not sit still or 'wonder' what to do next... our events pages are testament to that! Check out the calendar pages of this website, every month is busy!

 

 Our purpose in creating Biker Living is...To bridge the gaps of all facets of our riding communities... to help us all become a "People" as some like to call us... and the way we do that is to share the stories, tales and local event information of all the folks that love to ride around here!  WE HELP PROMOTE a healthy upbeat outlook of YOUR incredibly personable riding community... and beyond... so that you can more interestingly participate in it yourself!

Hey, did ya know... A couple of small changes in this current road trip... we are shifting our bimonthly issues! That means on Dec 19 2011 we will release a January issue, then at the end of January begin our bimonthly Issues again with Feb/Mar; Apr/May; June/July; Aug/Sept and so on. our road trips began in Oct/Nov originally so that's when we'll begin every road trip over.... we are ALSO extending our distribution to roll BEYOND Waco and San Antonio... we'll be dropping issues off at the major dealerships along the IH35 corridor and you are always welcomed, heck encouraged to swing by one of 'em and grab an armful to share with your friends and drop off at any biker friendly hot spots you enjoy! If you happen to see some already dropped off by someone else, simply drop yours off at another place instead... or leave 'em there, we just want to be sure as many folks get 'em as possible!!

Our Advertisers... WOW!

Quite frankly, we'd be nothing without them... this little rag got started on the two quarters in my back pocket and two local advertisers that had faith in my dream, and the bikers of CENTRAL TX...

Hell ya, we got bikers working out there in the community and they just wanna show their support of all we do... so come on, lets show our appreciation by supporting their businesses, lets keep them rollin, they'll keep us rollin... that's what this community & lifestyle is all about!!

We have a wide range of advertisers and everyone of them deserves our patronage... so be sure to stop by, say hello and thank them for all they do for us... and hey, be sure to tell 'em Biker Living sent ya!

PLEASE, take note ESPECIALLY of who these advertisers are IN THE CURRENT ISSUES and when doing business with them, let them know you saw their ad or listing in the pages of Biker Living... tell 'em thanks, whether it's the owner, a mechanic or salesperson, even if you've told them before or have been a long time customer of theirs... just let them know we all appreciate their support... they like to know we noticed, it'll make them smile and it'll ensure future issues get printed! That's your job, here, do it well.

Hey, wanna know more? Simply drop us an email at bikerliving@yahoo.com then we'll see you out on the road...be sure to say hello!

And hey, remember to be safe, always ride defensively... C. (and yes, I do inhale, during the ... ) LOL
