Now for the conclusion of my two part conversation with Kiki Azim and Kirsten Midura. In our previous episode #80, you could hear it in their voices. A passion for empowering our motorcycling community to find peace of mind by demonstrating a love for others. The poor, the innocent, those who believe that no one cares for them.
So how do you demonstrate a love for others? Volunteer, donate or both! You’re blessed with the opportunity to find joy riding your motorcycle. Now you can bring that joy to others who really need it. Click the links in the show notes for details or feel free to email me at [email protected] for specific information.

Have you ever felt the need to just turn off the world for a while, get out of the house, get out on your motorcycle, to find yourself out on a lonely road and just ride? I believe that sometimes a ride like that can transform itself into a chance encounter. Like the stars were aligned for something special, something meaningful to happen. It happened to me. I’d like to tell you about it.

Have you ever found yourself in a Flow State? Ah… nice. It’s good to find yourself riding in the Zone. Maybe that’s a glimpse of Heaven. So how do we find it on our next ride?

I can’t always find the words to express how meaningful riding is to me and for so many of us around the world. But others have very effectively found those words. One such person is Melissa Holbrook Pierson from her 1997 book, The Perfect Vehicle. So today, we will hear from the most eloquent Forward that I’ve ever heard. I’ll have a link in the show notes for how you can get your own copy of this book. So for now, I ask you to relax, pour yourself a favorite coffee or tea, take a couple of deep slow breaths, and listen to these poetic words that describe our beautiful world of motorcycling.

Sometimes our motorcycle rides are fast paced. Yes, that’s fun, but a fast paced life? That’s not so fun. It can be high-risk and destructive. There are ways of building some cushion of safety, both in motorcycling and in life. Creating some “ Margin" as they call it. We need to know when to adjust the load, when to slow down, when to make a change, when to rest, before something happens that could impact our ability to ride. This is important stuff.

My hope for you and for myself is that we will be just like George Bailey at the end of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”. By having a motorcycle, the ability to ride to ride it and the many friends and family who love us, we will recognize how very blessed you are right now. We’ll be reminded that yeah, we are having a Wonderful Life.

Brady McLean, the founder of Go Fast Don’t Die, has a story to share. Yeah, that’s a cool slogan and he loves motorcycling, but you’ll learn that there’s much more to Brady than business and bikes. He knows a lot about living a full life. Honestly, I just felt lucky to be in a conversation with a guy like him. Get ready for a transformative conversation.

Go out there, ride, gain strength, be happy, and share that strength and your inner joy with someone else. Be a Hero. You ask "What are you talking about, Ron"??? Oh, have I got a story for you!

Today, we take a few minutes just to relax and we do that by reading passages from a little book that not only takes us on our motorcycles down the road, but it also reminds us why we have such a desire to be on the road in the first place. Published in 2013 and edited by Malcolm Nelson and Kristen Lassen, it’s called The Little Black Book of Motorcycle Wisdom.

I hear it often, even from motorcycle riders traveling on vacation. I often hear it as I meet vacationers in the National Park. If people tell me that they are leaving for home the next day, they often say “We have to go back to reality”. Maybe, they’ve got it all wrong. Maybe they have it backwards. Perhaps they have been in reality all along.

There is value in understanding that we don’t have to be perfect. With each new ride, we have the opportunity to get become a better rider and during that process, let’s just be satisfied with the fact that we’ve found something that we love.

My brother-in-law and I got ski-high together. No, not a chemical high through whatever means, but he on his Triumph and me on my BMW, no hallucinations going on here at all. This is real. Climbing so high on mountain roads, temperatures dropping over by 30 degrees. Seeing for miles and miles in every direction, it gives you a new perspective. Maybe a new perspective on life. The world… is beautiful and there are lots and lots of amazing open space everywhere, especially here in the western United States. We just have to see it to believe it.

I’ll never forget our group ride here in Colorado and the smile on my friend's face. He rented his dream motorcycle from EagleRider, a business that is led by a motorcycle rider who also cares about people. My friend's smile means mission accomplished.
I'm excited to visit today with the CEO of EagleRider, Sebastian Schoepe!

Many of our motorcycle rides are just circles. Some 5 mile loops others 500 miles, but usually we start from home and return home. Why do we do the same thing over and over again? Well, we riders know why. Yes, crazy can be fun!

I’m excited to share with you an unedited conversation with my friend Andreas Metzger. Andreas and his wife Lisa joined me for a long Saturday ride through arguably the most beautiful spaces on Earth here in Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming. I gave Andreas no prep time. I just handed him a clip-on microphone and told him “OK buddy, let’s talk”.

Today we replay what I feel is one of the more important episodes thus far. It’s one about forgiveness. It’s about compassion. It’s about showing love for a stranger. It’s about a wrong assumption about a driver who almost killed you.
