A voice you’ll never forget, and a man you might remember--that is, if y’all didn’t party too hard at whatever motorcycling event you met each other at. This is the way most people will describe their first encounter with my very good friend, Dumptruck. ...Yes. His...

Colorado Motorcycle Expo 2020
What many locals call, “The Swap Meet,” is far from just a swap meet. The Colorado Motorcycle Expo is, without question, one of the largest motorcycling events in the Four Corners states, and the largest in the state of Colorado. Never heard of it? Well, picture a...
California Motorcycle Exhaust Violations Could Lead to Motorcycle Profiling
No fake news here, California motorcyclists. As of January 1st, you can be pulled over and fined up to $1,000 without the opportunity of a “fix-it” ticket for the rumble of your two-wheeled freedom machine. On January 1, 2019, California’s “fix it” ticket list got a...
Industry Spotlight: Horsepower Inc.
Upgrading a Harley®’s performance is typically one of the first things a rider does when they get their new bike. From the rider who wants to do a simple Stage One build, to the guy or gal that wants to rip their engine out and fully build a monster of a motor,...
Tips To Traveling Alone – From A Solo Rider, For Soon To Be Solo Riders
The excitement, anticipation, anxiety, stress...I like to call these the pre-adventure feels. Taking off on a motorcycle, regardless if it’s an around-town putt or an out of state adventure, can bring emotions upon you that maybe you didn’t even realize you had. With...

10 Days of Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™
I didn’t grow up in a motorcycle family. When I started working in a Harley dealership at 19 years old, I had no clue what, “Are ya goin to the rally?!” meant, or why it was such a big deal to people in Texas. Fast forward 8 years later, and three consecutive solo...
Born Free 10
Another year, another Born Free Show has come and gone. In it’s 10th consecutive year, the show was nothing short of impressive. Between the unheard of cool weather (and by cool, I mean mid 80s versus the standard 100 degree event temps), insane builds, vendors, and...
Arizona Roads
In 2014 I sold everything I owned—minus my motorcycles and a few boxes of clothes—and moved to Phoenix from Texas. I had only visited twice beforehand and only knew a handful of people, but it didn’t take me long meet some motorcycle enthused Phoenecians that were...
Mama Tried Motorcycle Show Recap
Ahh….Milwaukee. The land of cheese curds and motorcycles. It’s no secret that I am a fan of both. Two years ago I made my first journey to the Mama Tried Show, and although I’m not a fan of the frigid midwest winters, I am a fan of Industrial-styled cities, culture,...
