Twisted Road community member, Ryan M., is living a moto rider's dream...but still has dreams of where to ride next. He shares some of his favorite places below.
How long have you been riding, which bikes have you owned and how did you become interested in riding?
I've been riding for 23 years since I was 8, the first bike I rode was a Honda 100 and the first one I owned was a '04 Kawasaki Ninja 500r. My dad and uncles all rode Harley-Davidson so I guess it's in my blood.
What moto trips have you taken (long or short)? Where did you go, stay and explore? Tell us some highlights.
I rented a Honda CBR in SoCal and ripped it along the PCH stopping in San Clemente for late lunch on the Pier. I rented a Yamaha FJR in Palm Springs and rode it through Joshua Tree National Park, and I rented a really loud Sportster on Oahu.
What hobbies do you enjoy when you're not riding?
I enjoy: surfing, golfing, thinking about riding.
What do you enjoy about being part of the Twisted Road community?
