Letter From The Owners – January 2026

Celebrating an Amazing 2025 & Revving Up for 2026!

What a ride it has been! As we look in the rearview mirror at 2025, we are absolutely blown away by the year we’ve shared with all of you. From the adrenaline of raffling off a Harley to a jam-packed summer of bike nights, rallies, and events across the beautiful state of Michigan, it has been nothing short of legendary.

We want to say this loud and clear: We couldn’t have done it without you!

To our readers, advertisers, sponsors, tireless staff, and incredible volunteers… seriously, thank you. You are the fuel in our tank.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are hitting the road throttle wide open once again. But we also want to speak from the heart. We know that many are struggling right now, and we want you to know that we are right there with you. We are a family in this industry. When our advertisers struggle, our business struggles, and our personal lives feel that weight, too. We are just as you are.

That is why we are so incredibly grateful. To those who gave us support last season and to those who have stuck with us all the way through the ups and downs this winter.  Thank you. Your loyalty means the world to us.

We’re Growing our Crew—And We Want You!

As we shift gears into the new year, we are adding more rockstar account representatives to the team to take Thunder Roads Michigan even further. We have been lucky to surround ourselves with amazing people as we continue to grow, but we can always use more help.

If you’ve had the chance to say hello at one of the events we hosted, co-hosted, or attended, you already know the deal: We like to have fun and, occasionally, call it work.

Do you think you’d like to join in on the action? If you want to get involved with everything to do with motorcycles in Michigan, what are you waiting for?

We are looking for:

  • Event Staff & Volunteers: Especially for our charity events!
  • Photographers: Are you good with a camera?
  • Account Representatives: Does earning some cash while riding your motorcycle sound like fun to you?   

Why not make money while doing what you love?
Get yourself a jumpstart on an opportunity before the riding season is here. Heck, depending on the event, there’s a good chance you’ll even get paid for volunteering.

How to Reach Us:

  • Shoot us a message on Facebook Messenger.
  • Submit a contact request on our website: thunderroadsmichigan.com.
  • Email us directly at info@thunderroadsmichigan.com and tell us about yourself!

The Road Ahead

We are coming into our fourth year as the latest owners of Thunder Roads Michigan Magazine, and let us tell you, it is still just as exciting as the first day we picked up the keys. Come aboard and share the excitement with us!

To our advertisers: We are promising you right now that we are working extra hard to make 2026 your best year yet. To our readers: Get ready for more noise, more rides, and more memories.

Thank you for an absolutely amazing 2025. Let’s make the new year the best one yet.

See you on Michigan’s Thunder Roads,

~ RJ & Aly
