My hope for you and for myself is that we will be just like George Bailey at the end of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”. By having a motorcycle, the ability to ride to ride it and the many friends and family who love us, we will recognize how very blessed you are right now.  We’ll be reminded that yeah, we are having a Wonderful Life.

Brady McLean, the founder of Go Fast Don’t Die, has a story to share.  Yeah, that’s a cool slogan and he loves motorcycling, but you’ll learn that there’s much more to Brady than business and bikes.  He knows a lot about living a full life.  Honestly, I just felt lucky to be in a conversation with a guy like him.  Get ready for a transformative conversation.

Kim Casares is an amazing motorcycle rider who pushed the limits of courage and strength to reach her goal of riding a motorcycle to the Base Camp of Mount Everest.  Here is my interview with my new friend, a true Motorcycle Adventurer.

Riding a motorcycle isn’t just about the open road—it’s about strengthening yourself so you can better serve others.

In this episode of Peace Love Moto, we explore how riding helps us recharge mentally and physically, allowing us to be there for those who depend on us. Much like the airplane safety rule—put your oxygen mask on first—taking care of ourselves through motorcycling makes us stronger, happier, and more capable of helping others.

From first responders like firefighters and medics to everyday heroes, we all have a role to play in lifting others up. Through personal stories, including a life-changing moment in an operating room, we reflect on the power of resilience, gratitude, and the strength gained from two wheels.

Listen in and discover how motorcycling can be more than a passion—it can be a way to become the hero someone else needs.  Tune in, ride strong, and share your joy.

Motorcycling.  It’s transportation and a cool means for travel, but if you’re like me, it’s the same play that I experienced in my childhood.  When we go out for a ride, we go out to play, sometimes alone and sometimes with our friends, and that’s a beautiful thing.  What a gift to be able to do that!

Today, we take a few minutes just to relax and we do that by reading passages from a little book that not only takes us on our motorcycles down the road, but it also reminds us why we have such a desire to be on the road in the first place.  Published in 2013 and edited by Malcolm Nelson and Kristen Lassen, it’s called The Little Black Book of Motorcycle Wisdom.

I hear it often, even from motorcycle riders traveling on vacation.   I often hear it as I meet vacationers in the National Park.  If people tell me that they are leaving for home the next day, they often say “We have to go back to reality”.   Maybe, they’ve got it all wrong.  Maybe they have it backwards.  Perhaps they have been in reality all along.

There is value in understanding that we don’t have to be perfect.  With each new ride, we have the opportunity to get become a better rider and during that process, let’s just be satisfied with the fact that we’ve found something that we love.

My brother-in-law and I got ski-high together.  No, not a chemical high through whatever means, but he on his Triumph and me on my BMW, no hallucinations going on here at all.  This is real.  Climbing so high on mountain roads, temperatures dropping over by 30 degrees.  Seeing for miles and miles in every direction, it gives you a new perspective.  Maybe a new perspective on life.  The world… is beautiful and there are lots and lots of amazing open space everywhere, especially here in the western United States.  We just have to see it to believe it.

I’ll never forget our group ride here in Colorado and the smile on my friend's face.  He rented his dream motorcycle from EagleRider, a business that is led by a motorcycle rider who also cares about people.  My friend's smile means mission accomplished.

I'm excited to visit today with the CEO of EagleRider, Sebastian Schoepe!
