There are lots and lots of things we love about motorcycling and for me, an overarching thing that I most appreciate. Motorcycling is real. There’s no Virtual Reality. There’s no AI. Nothing Artificial going on here.
For those of us lucky enough to have a motorcycle in the garage and the ability to ride it, .... Wow, we are just so fortunate! I think that riding is not so much an escape from reality. Riding motorcycles returns us to reality. And for that, we can be very grateful.

It was there, boarding our motorcycles onto the ferry, that the fellow next to me pulled off his jacket to reveal a t-shirt that not only caught me by surprise, but made me laugh. We struck up a conversation right away. His black t-shirt had a simple slogan on it that said “Go Fast, Don’t Die”. Oh, now that’s genius! I get it! I’m sure that statement could be interpreted in many ways, but for me it means, do what you can, while you can. I guess, live life to the fullest. Mindfulness helps! Do what makes you happy.
I love the feedback and want to hear from you! Here’s my request. Send me an email: [email protected]. Thank you!

I had stopped for lunch in a tiny mountain town here in Colorado when he rode up on this unbelievable motorcycle. I know that my first word to Charlie was “Wow”, followed by “What kind of motorcycle is that”?
He briefly described how this bike was handcrafted in Indiana with some of the fabrication done by the local Amish community. Yes, you heard right. The same Amish folks that you see using buggies pulled by horse for transportation. You talk about a beautiful, well made machine!
I had to get to know this guy and beg for a chance to ride his Janus Motorcycle. That’s spelled Janus. A bike like I’ve never seen outside of a history book. Not only did I get to spend an afternoon riding with Charlie high up in the mountains, he let me ride it! Oh, that was cool!!!
I’m so excited today to share with you an interview with my new friend, Charlie Hansen-Reed, Design Engineer with Janus Motorcycles in Goshen, Indiana. This was a fun conversation.

Do you know what I love about riding motorcycles with friends? Everything! As the old Christmas carol goes, “Oh what fun it is to ride” and so it was just this morning, riding with two great friends through the twisty mountain roads here in Colorado, reaching our destination which was the Howling Cow Cafe at the Morning Fresh Dairy in Bellview, Colorado.

Today we continue with Part 2 of my conversation with Doug Logston of the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. And yes, Doug was one of the two guys I rode with this morning. If you’re wondering “Is Doug a good motorcycle rider”. Yes, yes he is. Doug is very good!

Melissa and Brett Wilson described how it’s about gratitude, it’s about appreciation for our ability to ride because of how much you love it! Today, we continue with Part 2 of our conversation with Brett and Melissa as we find ourselves amazed by the parallels between motorcycling and horseback riding. Both transport us physically, yes, but also emotionally and even Spiritually. We’re calling it, Views from the Saddle. Thank you for joining me today!

So now, let’s get back to Views from the Saddle, our conversation and the conclusion of our visit with Brett and Melissa Wilson.

Well, I’m so grateful for that visit with Brett and Melissa. Ya know, when I’ve been asked what the Peace Love Moto Podcast is all about, sometimes I say it’s just about joy. The joy we feel doing what we love to do, just being out riding, and sharing a smile with a stranger along the way. Yeah, as simple as that.

As always, thank you for spreading the news about this podcast. You can simply Google the words Peace Love Moto Podcast and you can find it, or go to peacelovemoto.com.

Until we meet again, I wish you peace. I wish you love.
