Kaitlin says, “Some people ride because they love turning wrenches, and some people are forced to wrench so they can ride.” Which camp do you think Kaitlin falls into? “One day, there was a noise. A horrible, expensive sounding noise” and the repair takes Kaitlin 100 miles from home with little time before she needs…

Les, The Powersports Store, shares his impromptu story starting when he picked up his first bike, to picking up his wife, to picking up Triumph at the dealership, all of which has helped him get to where he is today: “…not building a museum here!” He has been dedicated to garage life and The Powersports…

Matt’s first thoughts about experience in a garages were where most of us start: holding the flashlight, badly, for dad. Then, he thought, nope, it’s about what you find in a garage that has the most impact; the bikes that follow you home and the ones that left but should’ve stayed. What bike does Matt…

Aerin found motorcycles early in life but they took a backseat once she became domesticated. Looking at the second half of life, she asked herself why she was waiting, and found her wild child again. This new unleashed life deemed her Baroness di Busa and found her stopping for no one, sometimes not even stopping…

“You should buy a motorcycle, it will change your life” These words led Chris to owning his first British bike, a bike he didn’t know how to ride or even where or what a carburetor was, but John stepped in and mentored Chris through fixing the bike to get it running all the way up…

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.
