11 Bikes in 30 Days: Grayson's Search for a New Ride

Grayson D. rented 11 motorcycles in August in an attempt to figure out the best bike for him. In fact, he utilized two Twisted Road programs to make his adventure super affordable. Grayson utilized in the "One, Two, Free Programwhich allows riders to complete two rides at full price to earn a free day of riding. He may not have even known he was participating in the program since signup isn't required; he was likely happily surprised when the free day showed up when he went to rent yet another ride.

Another way that Grayson financed his swanky, ride-a-different-bike-everyday lifestyle is by taking advantage of  his "Riders Plus Membership." The membership allows motorcycle enthusiasts to earn rewards when purchasing gear from RevZilla, Cycle Gear, and J&P Cycles. As a trusted partner, Twisted Road offers 10% off motorcycle rentals to members of the Riders Plus program.

So what was Grayson's favorite motorcycle verdict? Well, the jury is still out. He loved just about all of them and hasn't settled on one. And since One, Two, Free allows for unlimited free riding days, we'll bet that Grayson is going to continue his search, riding all over Southern California in a continuing rotation of rad rides. Read on to see what he has rented so far.
