Attention Hot Bike ReadersWe would like to start by asking you, the reader, to help us with your ride submissions. There is no shortage of Readers' Rides coming across the editor's desks; however, only about 1/4 of them can be used. The reason: bad photos, little or no info about the bike, and even worse, no contact info to get better photos or the needed bike specs. So before you put a stamp on that envelope or send out that e-mail, make sure that you have filled out the basics: Your name, phone number and/or e-mail, where you're from. Then fill out a spec sheet-all you need to do is copy the info from the magazine: Motor, tran, frame, wheels, and so on. Last, a brief history about you and your bike. Now that you know exactly what we're looking for, we can't wait to see what you're going to send in. Thanks!
Everyday Everywhere RiderGarry Magness picked up this 2006 Heritage Softail to get back and forth to work everyday, but soon found himself riding the bike everywhere. Ask Garry to run to the store to pick something up, he jumps on his bike. Even though the store is less than a few miles away, it may take him over an hour just to get some milk. Hope the kids aren't waiting with cookies.

Black and WhiteAfter reading the Vol. 40, No. 8 "Blackout" issue and the story "Once You Go Black" about blacking out a Night Train, Luis Cialdella wanted to share his idea about "Black (and White)." He purchased this bike a year ago and immediately started to change it; his interpretation of contrasting black and white started with the black fork boots, then the Fat Boy lamp, and the 32 other H-D accessories followed. He said he's not done and is waiting to see what we do next to give him a few more ideas. I guess the pressure is on for us here at HOT BIKE; it's good thing we have more tech for that bike on the way.
