Captain Dave “Oops…”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Dave summarizes that bikes are a lot like partners in life. There are bikes that get you from A to B, are dependable, and don’t cost much money, but are fairly spiritless. Then there are bikes that “will burn you, man. The funny thing about the crotch rocket is that if you ride those bikes…

Kaitlin Gossett “Garaged”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Kaitlin says, “Some people ride because they love turning wrenches, and some people are forced to wrench so they can ride.” Which camp do you think Kaitlin falls into? “One day, there was a noise. A horrible, expensive sounding noise” and the repair takes Kaitlin 100 miles from home with little time before she needs…

Les Moscariello “Garaged”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Les, The Powersports Store, shares his impromptu story starting when he picked up his first bike, to picking up his wife, to picking up Triumph at the dealership, all of which has helped him get to where he is today: “…not building a museum here!” He has been dedicated to garage life and The Powersports…

Matt Schmitz “Garaged”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Matt’s first thoughts about experience in a garages were where most of us start: holding the flashlight, badly, for dad. Then, he thought, nope, it’s about what you find in a garage that has the most impact; the bikes that follow you home and the ones that left but should’ve stayed. What bike does Matt…

Aerin Shaw “Garaged”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Aerin found motorcycles early in life but they took a backseat once she became domesticated. Looking at the second half of life, she asked herself why she was waiting, and found her wild child again. This new unleashed life deemed her Baroness di Busa and found her stopping for no one, sometimes not even stopping…

Chris Heck “Garaged”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
“You should buy a motorcycle, it will change your life” These words led Chris to owning his first British bike, a bike he didn’t know how to ride or even where or what a carburetor was, but John stepped in and mentored Chris through fixing the bike to get it running all the way up…

Dave Mathers “Garaged”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Growing up, Dave was taught that “people that ride motorcycles are evil. They’re low class white trash. They’re troublemakers and they’re just no good. And they’re all going to hell”. Then like Pandora’s Box, Dave came upon a garage across the street and discovered a “row of empty frames with a pile of motors behind…

Scott Blessman “Travels”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Scott admittedly hates travel, but still does it and the reason why is revealed at the end of his talk. However, he has also figured out, “how a cursed travel partner leads to buying better gear.” From hot rods to Harleys, Scott has dealt with a lot of rain and since he’s a guy who…

Mike Bacos “Travels”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
“Don’t aspire to mediocrity…” Anthony Bourdain Mike actively fights the mundane and his travels on two wheels with camera in hand keep him from living a douchebag, suburban existence. Some find security in the routines of life, but not Mike. He has faced down Squid Game level riding in Thailand and a contrary (or was…

Amanda Davis “Travels”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Some of us found our passion during the pandemic – Amanda is one of those folks. She decided to say, “Fuck it, the world is ending and I am going to fulfill my lifelong dream and going to blow my savings account on a riding class and a motorcycle.” Her travels took her around Chicago;…

David Hanley “Travels”

A Quarter Mile on Blue Money; the shortest trip anyone has spoken about for this long. This Kawasaki riding guy gets on the fast track with fellow adult grown boys to ride a drag bike that is Pops’ secret side piece.

Paul Holdsworth “Travels”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Paul’s first long distance travels began in 1969 – what a year of history to begin – on a brand new Harley! His trip out to California with new buddy, Bill, involved an army surplus tent, a sleeping bag that only grew in size, stops at airports to grab heavy weight oil, casual walks across…

Tom Prendergast “Travels”
blahblahblahmotorcycles
Tom has miles under his tires, as evidenced by his membership in to the Iron Butt Association, but his trip to the northern tip of Alaska from Chicago is 8,000 miles RT that brings to life Ice Road Truckers, The Princess Bride’s R.O.U.S. as mosquitos, the reality of the metric system, an unexpected pillion rider,…
