Road Dirt

Motorcycling involves risk. In an age that prioritizes "bubble wrap" safety, bikers stand, or rather ride, counter to the culture.

Here's Editor-at-Large Ted Edwards' take on the "Safety vs. Joy" debate.

Former AMA Pro motorcycle racer Ron Mass passed away in January, with too little remembrance and recognition. We felt a short tribute was overdue.

Road Dirt senior editor Rob Brooks reflects on the incredible year that was 2022. From new motorcycles, new adventures, and new relationships the Road Dirt Crew experienced, to returning to old familiar paths and ways like Joshua's and Ted's expansive travels, and even Rob's new old motorcycle (1978 Kawasaki KZ650), 2022 was amazing year. There were some spills, but more thrills, we must admit.

We hope you enjoyed your holiday season, and we look forward to sharing new roads and new stories with you in the coming year.

Editor-at-Large Joshua Placa points the Indian Super Chief Limited into the urban frontier that is Los Angeles, asking the existential question, "What is Los Angeles, really?" With his typical wit and wry sense of humor, Joshua weaves an entertaining tale of city life on a motorcycle, from the congested streets of NYC to the sprawling burbs of LA.

We share the audio portion of a video interview we had with Mark Augustyn and Nancy Gerloff, the authors of the popular "Mimi and Moto: The Motorcycle Monkeys" kids book series. We discuss their own motorcycling backgrounds, the inspirations behind writing this book series, and what they plan to write and publish next.

Looking for some enjoyable Christmas gifts for the younger kids or grands in your life? We think this book series would be a fun way to introduce children to the motorcycling life.
