FROM THE EDITOR

This month's issue contains several great articles and photos from our talented team of photojournalists, so if you haven't had a chance yet to check it out yet, make sure to logon now to see what you've been missing.

This month's cover bike is owned by Paul West from Grain Valley, Missouri, and this month's cover model is Stephanie, from Edwardsville, Kansas. She was one of the finalists at our Cover Model Search at Rawhide Harley-Davidson in Olathe, Kansas.
