The road can feel loud, but the right kind of attention turns that noise into a steady hum you can breathe with. We take you from a crisp Colorado ride to the heart of Robert Persig’s “Quality with a capital Q,” exploring how craftsmanship, presence, and care reshape what it means to be a motorcyclist. This isn’t about escape. It’s about arrival—arriving at a clearer mind, a calmer body, and a deeper relationship with the machine that carries you there. We start with simple, durable truths: ...
A motorcycle can’t manufacture peace for you, but it can make just enough space for peace to find you. That’s the heartbeat of our conversation with Ben Rubin, the Mindful Motorcycle, as we explore how presence shows up on the road when you stop forcing outcomes and start meeting each moment as it arrives. Ben shares the arc from early chaos to long-term sobriety, and how trust rebuilt over time opened the door to riding. A winter slide on a starter bike became a lesson in resilience. Later,...
From the archives, first aired on May, 2024, I feel that this was one of our most impactful and important episodes. In this poignant and unexpected episode of Peace Love Moto, we take a detour from our planned celebration of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride to reflect on a chance encounter that left a lasting mark. While enjoying a quiet afternoon ride to "The Forks" near the Wyoming border, our host crosses paths with a young woman named Laura. Walking alone toward a busy highway and talki...
Ever wonder why certain riders look like they belong to the road? We dig into that feeling and the function behind it, tracing smart motorcycle gear back to timeless cowboy wisdom. From a Texas upbringing around farms and ranches to mountain passes in Colorado, we share how a practical “uniform” shapes confidence, comfort, and control—and why the right kit matters long before a crash. We start at the top, treating the helmet like a modern wide-brim hat: a portable shade that cuts sun, wind, ...
This may be what Motorcycling is all about. Remember when coloring outside the lines felt like a small act of rebellion that somehow made everything brighter? That spark never left—you just needed a throttle to find it again. We open the garage and watch the math of daily life fade, replaced by the living canvas of the road. Cars deliver us through a controlled world where settings, lanes, and GPS soothe uncertainty. On a motorcycle, the rules shift. The senses take over. Rain an...
In this special retrospective episode, we revisit the wisdom, stories, and shared passions of some of the the guests who have helped define Peace Love Moto. From the high peaks of the Himalayas to the rainy streets of Belgium, and from the glossy pages of magazines to the gritty reality of war zones, we explore the common thread that binds us all: the search for peace, connection, and joy on two wheels. In this episode, we reflect on conversations with: Florian Neuhauser (Roadrunner Magazine)...
Today, we reflect on why tough rides feel more meaningful than perfect-day cruises and how wind, cold, and grit sharpen presence. Along the way, we explore what the bad-weather wave is, aging with intention, and the quiet joy of doing hard things safely.

In this episode of Peace Love Moto, we explore the idea that a motorcycle is more than just a machine—it’s a passport to human connection. We look beyond the technical aspects of riding to discuss how being on two wheels makes us vulnerable, approachable, and open to the world in ways a car never could. Join me as we weave together the wisdom of travel legends Pico Iyer, Mark Twain, and Maya Angelou to understand why we ride. We discuss how travel acts as the ultimate antidote to prejudice, h...
Today, we explore how focused, distraction-free riding delivers both joy and a path to purpose. Scott Harrison’s Carousel of Happiness shows how a quiet craft can heal trauma and grow into a gift for the world. Go out for a ride. Give yourself that essential period of unstructured, distraction-free thinking. An act of Mindfulness that may change your life.

What if your calendar suddenly gave you back one perfect day—no meetings, no deadlines, just a clear sky and a full tank? We take that gift and point it west, trading inboxes for alpine air and finding a quiet center in the hum of a well-loved motorcycle. The story begins at sunrise with coffee, a light breakfast, and a simple practice of stretching body and mind. Warming the bike is part of the ritual, a way to tune in before the road invites you to choose not a destination, but a direction...
What happens when you stop wrestling a motorcycle and start dancing with it? That single shift changed everything for our guest, Nieta De Young, who joins us from Ghent, Belgium to unpack how motorcycling, mindfulness, and daily practice can turn fear into focus and effort into flow. We trade stories about the “bike-dropping era,” the hard-won art of riding slow, and why presence behind the bars feels like stepping into a quiet room—even on a chaotic city street. Nieta takes us inside Belgiu...
A one-pound ranger changed my whole ride. I rolled into Rocky Mountain National Park at dusk, layered up at 8,000 feet, and let the quiet find me—wind through pines, a slow river in Endo Valley, and the sharpest voice of the night from a tiny Albert squirrel telling me to move along. That small interruption opened a bigger conversation about how we listen, how we ride, and how we care for the places that move us. I talk about the practice of letting your ears adjust to wild spaces—how silenc...
What if the best reason to ride a motorcycle has nothing to do with miles and everything to do with play? We make a case for motorcycling as real, restorative play that lifts stress, sharpens focus, and reconnects us with the fun we knew as kids. It starts with a simple invitation—can you come out to play?—and unfolds into a story about how open-ended rides turn attention, movement, and friendship into peace. Ready to turn riding back into play? Listen now, share this episode with a friend, ...
The first fat drops hit your visor and instinct says, find a bridge and wait it out. We take the other line—how preparation and perspective can turn a storm from something to fear into something that deepens the ride. From a solo run through Monument Valley straight into a black-green wall of hail to the quiet joy of forest air after rain, we share how gear, mindset, and community help you keep rolling when the sky gets loud. You’ll hear practical ways to read weather and ride safely—slowing...
A latte with a heart, served underground while missiles land nearby. That’s the kind of moment Neale Bayly brings to life as we follow his two-year journey through Ukraine on a motorcycle—seeking peace and love where the news rarely looks. Instead of chasing explosions, Neale sits with amputees at the Superhumans Center, listens to a young mother find words for loss on an 18-hour train, and rides shotgun with a businesswoman who builds drones beneath a department store before driving them int...
The hum of motorcycle engines, the rushing sound of the wind, and that high-pitched ringing that lingers after long rides—these sounds define our experiences as riders. But what happens when we actively quiet this noise? What clarity emerges when we protect ourselves not just from physical sound, but from mental distractions as well? After years of riding without adequate ear protection and developing tinnitus, I've discovered something unexpected: wearing quality earplugs doesn't diminish m...
A powerful demonstration of kindness and forgiveness inspired me to reflect on how we motorcyclists interact with drivers who seem careless around us. When someone cuts us off or fails to see us, our default reaction is anger—labeling them as "idiot drivers" who don't value our safety. But what if we're missing crucial context? That driver who turned in front of you might be fleeing a traumatic situation, vision blurred by tears, world crumbling around them. We never truly know what battles o...

Freedom takes many forms, but rarely is it as beautifully illustrated as when a beautiful Bald Eagle decides to share your journey. Riding through the expansive high plains of southern Wyoming, where the sky stretches endlessly and human presence fades away, I encountered something truly extraordinary – a curious bald eagle who chose to follow me for miles. Standing on my pegs, cruising at a modest 30 mph along the dirt roads near the Colorado-Wyoming border, I first spotted this magnificent...
In today's hyper-connected world, finding that peaceful state of mind has become increasingly difficult. The 24-hour news cycle, addictive social media platforms, and constant digital stimulation have created unprecedented mental burdens. Many motorcyclists find themselves wondering: can we ever reclaim that pure, carefree joy we once knew on two wheels? Author and Mindfulness expert Elysia Skye believes we absolutely can. With remarkable insight, she explains how motorcycling naturally cult...
