Sam sits down with Brian Ballard, founder of A&J Cycles, recorded live at Barber Vintage Fest inside The Isle of Triumph. Brian shares how his small New York shop grew into a trusted Triumph parts and custom brand with customers around the world.

They talk about balancing passion with a full-time career, family life, the flat-track racing scene, and what it means to build bikes that last. A grounded conversation about community, craftsmanship, and keeping the spark alive.
