Joe is a moto personality on RevZilla's Highside/Lowside podcast, a moto journalist, and Media host for the RevZilla YouTube channel. After years of running his own motorcycle shop, Joe moved over to RevZilla; starting in customer service, moving on to become a Video Production Coordinator, and then on to being a Media Host and occasional print personality on Common Tread. Joe and I geek out over gearhead stuff, the different bikes Joe has in the garage, what it's like scrambling a classic scrambler, a little sneak peek at his job behind the scenes at RevZilla, and the general love of all things two wheels.
