Scott started ripping around on dirt bikes when he was 10. So basically, “to keep us out of the house, we got to ride the dirt bikes around and kinda crash and learn as we went.” This got motorcycles in Scott’s blood and awhile later, around 2009, he took his first trip of 8000 miles…

It was a year of prep to get Richie and his group of off-road riders ready to tackle the CO BDR but as luck would have it they found the apex of ‘fuck around’ and ‘find out’. “This was exactly when the butterfly of destiny turned into a dragon of fate and blew our trip…

Jason has a thing for purple motorcycles, so when he spotted one on the side of the road, he made a beeline for it. It didn’t even meet the requirements for buying vintage: does it have a title? no does it run? no However, this bike became The Flying Hawaiian and Jason’s oops was that…

Dave summarizes that bikes are a lot like partners in life. There are bikes that get you from A to B, are dependable, and don’t cost much money, but are fairly spiritless. Then there are bikes that “will burn you, man. The funny thing about the crotch rocket is that if you ride those bikes…

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…
