Letter Of The Month
First and foremost, I would like to say thank you for creating the best bike magazine ever. Aside from my family, it's the best morale booster a man like me can have being deployed out here in Iraq...and I thank you guys for that. Thanks to your mag, I got some good ideas for my ride.
I would like to send you guys an American flag my pilots fly here in Iraq as they conduct their daily reconnaissance missions with their mighty Kiowa Warrior OH-58D helicopter as a token of appreciation for your dedication and hard work. Thank you for making the best motorcycle magazine ever.

And we'd like to thank you and your boys for keeping us spoiled journalists happy and safe. Rock on, Alexander-and come home safe.
The Truck Stops Here
I'm an avid reader of your magazine. I drive trucks for a living and pick up SSB each time it comes out. I'm also a bike lover.
I've got a 2005 Suzuki GS500F that was a gift from my wife. I'd like to know if you might have information on any upgrades and parts for it in future issues.

You're faced with the age-old dilemma of sinking money into your first ride or upgrading. We recommend beating on the GS for a year, saving the money you'd spend on parts and upgrading to a bike that comes with higher-end components. Keep it in the family and get a used Gixxer 600, then flip through our pages for ideas and spend away!
Fightin' Words
I just thought I would drop you a line and say how amazing your magazine is. I've been reading for almost a year now and love every issue. I just wanted to thank you for starting to show at least one streetfighter bike in every issue you come out with these days. Our poor community needs every bit of exposure we can get. Unfortunately, the streetfighter scene here in North America isn't half of what it is in Europe, and companies are now starting to come out with parts for these beautiful new-age muscle bikes.
I would also like to invite anyone who is into streetfighters or has one to come to the only streetfighter forum I know of in North America:
www.customfighters.com.

Leather pants and mullets aren't quite as popular here as in Europe, either, mind you. We'll keep the 'fighters coming for you, though, don't fret.
Wife Woes
I would like to send a big shout out to SSB. I picked up my first mag about three years ago and have been hooked ever since. I'd like to give a shout out to Wayne Pelkey's wife (pg. 17, Dec '06) for supporting my man's passion. You're fortunate, dude. Hold onto her. My wife has no support for me. Hopefully I can write again one day and say all that's changed, though. By the way, does your wife have a sister?

C'mon, now...SSB isn't marriage counseling for the disgruntled husband. Just dump her already.
