Volume Twenty One Available Now
Words by Ben Giese | Cover photo by John Ryan Hebert
The pages of this magazine have taken us across the globe time and time again, chasing people who inspire us and adventures that live in our dreams. As a result, this strange culmination of ink and paper has cultivated a global community of like-minded motorcyclists, adventurers and creatives united by the pursuit of a life well ridden. It’s been a wild ride, to say the least, but we’re not slowing down anytime soon. In fact, we’ve only felt more and more inspired with the creation of each issue.
This particular issue started out as a collection of random stories about motorcycles, the places they take us, and the people who ride them. But as each one began to unfold, they became a collective celebration of our intimate connection with the Earth and all that lives and grows. We lost ourselves in some of the most rugged and majestic mountain landscapes in North America, and we embraced a spirit of fearless exploration that drove us to discover some of the most wild and remote places we’ve ever encountered. We stopped worrying so much about the destination or the schedule and found ourselves completely lost in the moment, simply enjoying the process. And that’s what life is all about.
That connection to Mother Nature has also led us to join a program called Print Relief to create a more environmentally friendly product. With the printing of this issue, we are offsetting thousands of pounds of paper and replanting 51 trees. We’ve also decided to evolve the look and feel of the magazine with a new format, bigger and better than ever. That means more space for the captivating photography and timeless storytelling we live for, and a breath of fresh air as we move forward into an incredibly bright future.
Thanks for following us on this ride, and for making it such a rewarding experience. We hope you’ll continue to find inspiration in these stories, because we’ve got countless more to tell.
Long live print. Long live the dreamers.
