Growing up, Dave was taught that “people that ride motorcycles are evil. They’re low class white trash. They’re troublemakers and they’re just no good. And they’re all going to hell”. Then like Pandora’s Box, Dave came upon a garage across the street and discovered a “row of empty frames with a pile of motors behind…

Mary says “Yes!” to riding in Iceland and does all the prep work to find that the shortest bike has a seat height of 31″, a BMW700GS, but she was not daunted by her less than 26″ inseam and was sure she could grow 3″ in 3 months to compensate. Her real solution is what…

James has said yes to a lot of opportunities in his life: from being the youngest editor at Playboy to riding in the Himalayas at 70. He says this: “The thing I like most about motorcycles is there is nothing between you and the world. The thing I like least about motorcycles is There is…

Mack says yes to riding motorcycles 17 years ago and started commuting on her bike because, well, it was way more fun. However, a couple close calls made her start to say no. Will she say yes again?

Sometimes the best stories come from those who don’t ride, but hang out with those that do! Flo (Flo’s 2 AM Tacos) was invited to Laguna Seca by his good buddy, Kenny Abbott, to check out the scene and the scene did not disappoint. Flo and Kenny have built a community serving up tacos and…

“Take this idea we had with a bike; building it from scratch and winding up with a final product product instead of 8 weeks we do it in 4 hours.” Jim tells the story of Team Moto Build’s first year.

Steve’s first year learning to ride dirt took him from the Badlands (IN) to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A year of trials, sketchy camping, some balancing acts, and definitely no cold water swimming, Steve’s learning curve ended with a new Tenere. What a year!!

Kenny begins a lifelong lifelong addiction to motorcycles with a brand new 1985 Yamaha RZ350 as a 16-year-old motorcyclist. His first year on a motorcycle included a new bike, a job as a corner worker at the track, regular motocamping, free meals, and free clothes. He hit the jackpot!

The rules are simple: Pass the test and don’t crash. Luise’s year of prep for her racing license turned into a greater ordeal and life lesson than anticipated, but certainly wasn’t a deterrence.

“One year we built a bike and we called it Veruca. …So you take all three of these: Brats, Salt, and Gassers. …We decided to have a Willy Wonka fest. We decided who was the saltiest little brat in the entire film and it’s Veruca Salt. We were like, dude, we’ve got to do this.”

Richie’s 2019 Kentucky Kickdown experience was fully immersive for everyone around – immersed in a mud bath that is – at the mud drag race. A sand paddle tire and no swing arm created an unstoppable situation including in the burn out box. If you know Richie, you know he doesn’t do anything half-assed and…

Janell and Stu Clarke have been traveling the world with their rescue pups for 10 years. These Australians have been to more than 100 countries and it was a slight miracle that our paths crossed in Louisville for the Storytelling event. They blah blah blahed their “watch this” story of how they got started and…

Rob got a little more ‘watch this’ action than he bargained for when he donned the now infamous blue Care Bear onesie. After riding pillion in the burn out box behind a unicorn onesie, Rob exploded all over the internet and some even got on a couple exhaust pipes.

Rebecca says, “I think with motorcycling, I don’t know what I’m doing and I still just do it. I just show up and I’m like I guess I’m doing this and I’m gonna live.” The best ‘watch this’ is the one you prove to yourself. Rebecca proves herself again and again. She is the kind…

NSFW/18+ only: “…’76 when Frampton came alive, sex was safe, and motorcycles dangerous.” “…perhaps even death began with ‘hey, hold my beer and watch this’.” Author, Walker V Ryderr captivated the audience with the reading of his story “Far from the Tree” from his Baker’s Dozen Series.

Kaitlin makes an appearance at her second BBBM Storytellers event in a second city with her tale of getting her first bike. If you think this is a standard getting a first bike story, nope. It starts with a lie to her parents about needing their truck to ‘help a friend move’, being told “if…

Shannon’s first Babes in Motoland camping experience was a first in its own right; uh, did someone say abandoned short bus shower house… but it was the camaraderie of the entire trip with one hell of a group of badass biker goddesses that made the experience so impactful. From karaoke to pocket baby squirrels to…

This cat guy found love with a motorcycle riding woman and her rescue dogs. His tale of a first love introduced us all to Bourbon, a true Paw Patrol pup, who took his job of riding in the sidecar very seriously. He was an early influencer as the subject of books, training videos, and a…
