Inside the Naked Racer: Johnny Gee
Description
We are throwing back to 2020 when Glenn sat down with Melbourne’s king of classic motorcycles—Johnny Gee. Collector, storyteller, café owner and the force behind Naked Racer Moto Co, Johnny’s been keeping Australia’s motorcycle heritage alive (and roaring) for over 30 years.
From a garage full of rare Indians to a bar full of bike lovers, Johnny’s built more than just a business—he’s built a motorcycling institution. With over 250 classic machines under one roof, a buzzing café, workshop, and an atmosphere that smells like espresso and engine oil, Naked Racer is part museum, part local legend.
We talk wild stories from Johnny’s time buying vintage bikes across the US, the history behind his favorite two-wheelers, and what it takes to run one of the most iconic moto spaces in the country.
Powered by Famous Insurance—because bikes like these aren’t just machines, they’re memories worth protecting.
Pull up a stool, order a long black, and enjoy the ride. 🏍️☕🎧
