For Neil Zarama, motorcycles have always been a constant in his life, from his youth growing up in Colombia, to building his first Triumph chopper in the Central Valley of California, to his humble garage in San Francisco where he builds a knucklehead for Born Free 2024. Despite his battles with mental health and depression, he radiates a sort of positivity and optimistic nature propelled by a powerful work ethic shaped by his adopted father, the only one he ever had. He discusses the importance of working with your hands, his reconnection with his Native Chiricahua Apache roots, and the value of a long ride on a chopper. I am honored to share his story. Salud.
