Meet the crew

Good roads.
Good company.

We’re Chad, Chris, Eric, Greg, and Justin. We’re friends who share a love of motorcycles, exploring new places, and enjoying the ride together.

Based in New England, we ride everywhere from local back roads to the Smoky Mountains and beyond. Along the way, we share our favorite routes, interesting stops, and stories from the road, with plenty of laughs and a few garage projects mixed in.
