Peace Love Moto - The Motorcycling Podcast

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!

Wow! Charlie at Janus Motorcycle hears that a lot. An interview with Charlie Hansen-Reed.

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.

Motorcycling: A Pure and Simple Return to Reality

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.

Episode 37: Stay Healthy and Ride: Motorcycling may be what you need.

Before we begin today, I want to first say thank you for listening. Those who ride motorcycles and those who don’t have let me know that the podcast is meaningful and that’s been my hope all along.

In an interview with Rob Hamilton, the very popular YouTuber out of Australia, he shared how his moto camping videos were being watched by someone who works on a ship, spe
