Mike Dalgaard, Editor & Publisher Northwest Edition Quick Throttle® Magazine® Northwest Edition You all know me from my editorials so you also know that I am an ex-New Yorker with a real “attitude.” In an age of over-the-top political correctness, don’t count on me to go that route. I say what I mean and mean what I say. You got a problem with that? I learned to ride on Long Island over 50 years ago. I have always been a gear head and my passion has been bikes, fast boats and even faster cars. My non-lethal pursuits include rock music from the birth of rock in the 50’s, good Italian food and staying one jump ahead of my ex-wives and the IRS! Before starting QT I was in the music publishing business and a sound engineer and produced more then 150 albums and CD's for major artists. I have tried diligently to never do anything for a living that even remotely resembled work! Getting paid to ride around on my Harley or my Indian, bum free meals and flirt with pretty girls falls right into that category. |

Jan Gardner, Senior Editor Features Editor Northwest Edition Quick Throttle® Magazine® Northwest Edition "I’m Jan, Mike’s wife. As Senior Editor I do more than correct Mike’s grammar mistakes. I put together the Ride Calendar, Biker Buddy Wanabes, Harley Har Har, photo layouts, check proofs, do interviews and look for just the right image for the cover. Sometimes I even get out of the office to go to an event, take photos and meet our readers. "My background is in Art Design and Journalism, so I enjoy working on the creative aspects of the magazine. It’s a real challenge to get QT to the printer on time every month, but a lot of fun. " |

Cindy Wilson, Feature Writer & Columnist Quick Throttle® Magazine Northwest Edition Cindy Wilson is one of the longest-running columnists for Quick Throttle® Magazine. She wrote her first article in 2002 about her adventures during her first-ever ride on her newly purchased Sportster, all the way from Phoenix, Arizona to her home in Seattle. This experience had unexpected rewards—it cemented her passion for riding motorcycles, gained her a monthly column with Quick Throttle Magazine and rekindled a romance with now-husband, Terry, who bravely made that first ride with her. Cindy now lives in Medford, Oregon, where she continues her passion for freelance writing and her love for being in the wind. |
