Moto Adventurer Unscripted: Real Conversations for Motorcyclists, Adventurers and Outdoor Explorers

Dave Kuck is a former Ohio native that has since moved out west to Idaho. Dave is the brand manager with Uclear Digital. Uclear makes Bluetooth communicators for the Powersports industry, among other things. Dave and I talk about his roots in motorcycling, his transition to Idaho, how he likes to ride, and how selling Powersports goods is way more fun than selling insurance.

The KAT is a 900+ mile  Dual-Sport backcountry route through eastern Kentucky, including small parts of Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee.
