Riding a motorcycle isn’t just about the open road—it’s about strengthening yourself so you can better serve others.

In this episode of Peace Love Moto, we explore how riding helps us recharge mentally and physically, allowing us to be there for those who depend on us. Much like the airplane safety rule—put your oxygen mask on first—taking care of ourselves through motorcycling makes us stronger, happier, and more capable of helping others.

From first responders like firefighters and medics to everyday heroes, we all have a role to play in lifting others up. Through personal stories, including a life-changing moment in an operating room, we reflect on the power of resilience, gratitude, and the strength gained from two wheels.

Listen in and discover how motorcycling can be more than a passion—it can be a way to become the hero someone else needs.  Tune in, ride strong, and share your joy.

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.

Are you looking for a community?  A sense of belonging?  Well, you already have your membership card.  It’s the motorcycle you ride!  It’s the jacket you’re wearing.  It’s the helmet you carry into the coffee shop.  You’re 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 I’m 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.  It’s actually a video where I described how everything was going great, until it wasn’t 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 today’s episode, I’ll 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 you’ll hear it in my voice, the gratitude that I felt toward so many good people, who came to my physical and emotional rescue.

A trip of a lifetime.  How often have you experienced that?  Today, we travel to New England and visit with Pat, Greg and Scott from Moto-Cyco Touring Adventures.  I so enjoyed talking with these guys about the amazing motorcycle tours that they offer.  Now I have an addition to my personal touring bucket list.  You may too!

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 today’s episode was to celebrate the great success of this past Sunday’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.  It was fabulous, but if it’s 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.
