In this episode of Throttle & Iron, we sit down with Whit Meza for a real, rider-to-rider conversation about endurance riding, mindset, and what it truly takes to push limits on two wheels.

Whit shares the story behind riding through 49 states in just 10 days, the preparation it required, the mental and physical challenges along the way, and the lessons learned when the road doesn’t go as planned. We also talk about motivation, balance, and why long-distance riding changes you in ways you don’t expect.

This is an honest conversation about grit, passion, and the kind of commitment it takes to chase big riding goals.

Welcome back to Throttle & Iron 🤘

In this special episode, we’re joined by Alec from Folds of Honor and Myke from Ride Culture to talk about an incredible custom motorcycle build with a powerful mission behind it.

The bike is a custom Indian Chief RT, built to honor our military heroes and their families, and it’s headed to the Barrett-Jackson Auction in January, where it will be raffled off to benefit Folds of Honor.

Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members, and this build is another example of how the motorcycle community steps up to support those who’ve sacrificed so much.

We break down the story behind the build, how the raffle works, why this cause matters, and how riders and supporters can get involved.

If you love motorcycles, custom builds, and meaningful causes — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
