There is value in understanding that we donât have to be perfect. With each new ride, we have the opportunity to get become a better rider and during that process, letâs just be satisfied with the fact that weâve 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.

Iâll 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!

Iâm 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 âOK buddy, letâs talkâ.

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

Are you looking for a community? A sense of belonging? Well, you already have your membership card. Itâs the motorcycle you ride! Itâs the jacket youâre wearing. Itâs the helmet you carry into the coffee shop. Youâre in! You are a part of a growing community of motorcycling riders. How great is that?

While preparing every Episode for this podcast, I make an effort to refresh my memory on how I feel when Iâm out on my bike. Since I had determined that I would call this episode, Riding in the Rain, well then, I needed to ride in the rain!
So this afternoon the timing was perfect. Here in Colorado, most afternoons or evenings, a rainstorm will likely come through. I saw on the weather radar that 30 miles from my home, there was a storm brewing. So, for you, for my listening audience, I prepared for my ride, I confirmed that I had all of my rain gear, hopped on my Triumph Bonneville, and rode through the storm. Such is life.

About 50 miles northwest from my home in Loveland, Colorado are two places where I ride my motorcycle quite often. Following Highway 287 in vast, wide open spaces, just before the Colorado Wyoming border we arrive in a place called Virginia Dale. Here are two very different places of worship. Each with it's own methods for a common goal. A great place to ride, to stop, to take a seat and to listen.

My hope for this short episode is that you can ride your motorcycle to your own place of Serenity, such as Serenity Coffee in Riverside, Wyoming. To stop, relax, take in the scenery, and know that, at least for that moment, you are the luckiest guy or gal in the world, and all is well with your world.

It was two days after my motorcycle broke down in the Nevada Desert that I made the recording. Itâs actually a video where I described how everything was going great, until it wasnât going so great. Most importantly, I shared my feelings at that moment. Not a feeling of despair, or disappointment that my motorcycle journey had ended so abruptly. Instead, it was about feelings of overwhelming gratitude. Gratitude for a world just full of people who will help a stranger in need. This time, I was that stranger and I was in need.
In todayâs episode, Iâll share with you the raw, unedited audit that I captured that day back in the Nevada Desert to where my bike broke down. My hope is that youâll hear it in my voice, the gratitude that I felt toward so many good people, who came to my physical and emotional rescue.

The Sheriffs Officer said that her name is Laura and that he would try to keep an eye on her. But unless she broke the law or got hurt, I think there was little he could do.
My intent for todayâs episode was to celebrate the great success of this past Sundayâs Distinguished Gentlemanâs Ride. It was fabulous, but if itâs OK, I feel the need to share with you the experience that I had out in the country on my motorcycle just 2 hours ago.

On Sunday, May 19th, 2024, Iâll see love in this world. Iâll feel it. And so will over 100,000 motorcycle riders. On Sunday morning, literally around the world, there will be a Global hug. An expression of love for those we know and also a love for total strangers. Maybe youâll even feel it from wherever you are. A warmth from human connections. Hearts beating together. Am I being a bit over-dramatic? No, I donât think so. Iâve seen it first hand. Iâve felt it. Itâs real.

âWindows of Opportunityâ. We assume that there'll always be time for this or that. Until there is no time left. Whether itâs planning our next motorcycle journeys or sharing a coffee with an old friend, in todayâs episode, letâs share some ideas for making every Window of Opportunity count.
Today we feature the wisdom of Ben Giese from Vahna Magazine:

Jeff Johnson said "Iâm drawn to open country. Itâs where everything becomes clear. Itâs where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there, I always return with something new. The best journeys are those that answer questions that in the beginning, you never thought to ask". (2010 - 180 Degrees South)
Whether itâs imagining yourself as a cowboy, or some kind of adventurer, riding a motorcycle takes us to a new space and time. Itâs hard to explain, isn't it. As for me, out on the lonely dirt roads up in the mountains, often standing on the pegs and riding slowly, yep, Iâm a cowboy.Just like Jeff Johnson said in that movie, I too am drawn to open country. Out there, the world does seem to make the most sense.

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass: itâs about learning how to ride in the rain! We have to ride with some degree of confidence that all will go ok in the end. If we are in fear all the time, well, weâd should probably sell the bike and switch to pickleball. Nothing against pickleball, but as for quitting? We wonât do that.
We love motorcycling too much. It means too much to our heart and soul. We accept the fact that we donât have 100% control in motorcycling, or in life for that matter. And thatâs OK. Maybe thatâs the best part!Support the show

The"Biker Wave" with the left hand comes in several forms ya know, but to me it means just one thing. It means that you care. And that is what the Peace Love Moto podcast is all about. Itâs about spreading the good news that riders do care for that total stranger whoâs also out on two wheels. You may be out on a solo ride, in the middle of nowhere, but just about guaranteed, if another motorcycle rider is coming your way, youâll see a wave. And once you see that wave, and you respond back, then yes, you've got a friend.
