Who we are

Throttle up, Iowa! Throttler Motorcycle Magazine is here. We’re Iowa’s publication dedicated to motorcycles and the people who ride them. From Harley-Davidson/Buell to custom built to Victory to Yamaha to Kawasaki to dirt and cruisers, Throttler Motorcycle Magazine is THE premiere publication of its kind in Iowa.

We’ll have feature stories that explore the issues impacting Iowa riders, to the unparalleled coverage of riders, rallies and businesses across the state. Throttler Motorcycle Magazine will be the source to turn to.

We’re serious about giving Iowa riders — and readers — the finest publication possible, loaded with professionally-written stories, high-quality photography, and information Iowans can use.

Throttler Magazine is a free monthly publication distributed all across the state of Iowa. Look for us at your local bike shop, dealership, bars, restaurants, insurance offices, banks and convenience stores. And if you can’t find us. Call me directly and I’ll personally get issues arriving immediately.

Our readers are more than the stereotypical biker, too. Our readers are construction workers, doctors, artists, sales people, teachers, lawyers, nurses, business owners and every other occupation in between.

I’ll be honest. We’re just a group of friends that all have different backgrounds that love to ride our motorcycles. We’re not a big corporation or even a small one at that. But we’re Iowans!

Throttler Magazine is free to everyone and we want to keep it that way. Hence, what will keep Throttler Magazine publishing Iowa articles each month will be advertising dollars. So please, if this is as important to you as we’ve heard from hundreds and hundreds of Iowans we’ve talked to, buy an ad if you’re a business, event or anyone that has a marketing message who needs to get in front of motorcyclists.

Lastly, we highly encourage anyone of you to contact us with story ideas, events, rallies or any comment at all. And, if you think you have what it takes to write for Throttler Magazine, drop me a line. We’re always looking for people to help cover our great state.

Oh! Be sure to take your camera on your next event or rally and send pictures to us.

This is for you Iowa! Ride hard. — R. Kabel
