First I want to welcome Missarkie as a part of the Open Road Biker team. She goes by Ice when out on the road. If you happen to see her out in her home state of Arkansas be sure to say hello.

That brings me to the next topic. If you are keeping count you will see that the site has added two writers out of the five I was asking for. There is still time and if you are interested please use the contact form to email me and let me know. I am looking for a west coast rider, a sport bike rider, and someone who can do good tech articles. If you write well and are experienced in one or all of these fields be sure to let me know. You will be made a partner in the site.

Military

If you have visited here a few times and read a few articles you may have caught on that I am in the military. Now I know that this is a motorcycle site but I still would like to let you know about a story I read this week. It is called Taking Chance. It is a great story about a Marine LTC that performed the duty of escorting PFC C. Phelps to his final resting place. There is also a documentary on HBO about it. Be sure to check it out. That brings me to my next topic;

Patriot Guard Riders

Go over to the PGR site and hit up the forums and look for missions in your area. Participating in a PGR mission is a great way to do your part in recognizing our nations heroes. They sacrifice their life for us, the least we can do is show our support by escorting them to their final resting place.
