Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Ho-Ho-Hold My Drink While I Write This Note!
Well, we made it through another year full of great rides, killer events, questionable weather decisions, and at least three moments where we thought, “Yeah… probably should’ve worn the warmer gloves and brought that extra layer.” But we wouldn’t trade a single mile of it, because sharing the road with this wild, wonderful biker family is what makes it all worth it.
Before we roll into the new year, we want to send a huge THANK YOU to every one of you who reads, rides, shares, waves, supports, and occasionally laughs at our bad jokes. You’re the reason Thunder Roads Michigan Magazine® keeps rolling, and we can’t wait to see your faces, bikes, and to hear all of your stories in 2026.
And now, a gentle holiday reminder (picture us saying this with a Santa hat and maybe one too many cookies):
Please, please, PLEASE support the businesses that advertise in this magazine.
They’re the only way we can put this thing out every month. Without them, we’d just be two people sitting around saying, “Remember when we used to print a magazine?” and nobody but a few want that.
So, when you’re out doing your holiday shopping or servicing the bike that you swore you’d winterize back in October, check out our advertisers first. Please let them know that you’re there because of their advertisement in Thunder Roads Michigan Magazine®. Buy a gift card, grab food, get parts, support the shops that support the biker community. It makes a much bigger difference than you know. For us, but more importantly, them.
We hope your Christmas is filled with time and a nice meal with family, friends, and maybe the sound of a V-twin firing up if the weather cooperates, oh and that Santa is good to you.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
We’ll see you again in 2026, ready to roll, caffeinated, and probably already behind schedule.
