Peace Love Moto - Where Motorcycling meets Mindfulness

Send us Fan Mail After 15 days overseas, we return home to Colorado and unpack what Norway and Sweden revealed about pace, attention, and why so many of us crave an unhurried life. We made a deliberate choice to step out of the tourist flow, trade crowds for small coastal villages, and listen to locals. What we found felt rare: clean streets, shops built around true craftsmanship, and conversations that don’t get interrupted. In today's episode, I share the moments that stayed with us: meeti...

Send us Fan Mail Motorcycles can be freedom, therapy, and a reset button, but they can also be something bigger: a direct line to serving people who need real help right now. We’re revisiting a conversation that stuck with us for a reason, because Kiki Azim and Kirsten Madura don’t just talk about making a difference. They build systems that turn riders, donors, and volunteers into measurable humanitarian impact. Kiki is the founder of Rebels with the Cause, a humanitarian motorcycle tour th...

Send us Fan Mail Rain taps the gear, nighttime hangs over the fjord, and I’m recording from a ship’s deck in Norway, far from my usual home base in Loveland, Colorado.

Karen and I come to Norway carrying a lot of gratitude, and we get to live it out through real connections, not just sights...

Send us Fan Mail Time doesn’t crawl on a motorcycle the way it does behind a desk. One minute you’re carrying the noise of the world in your helmet, and the next you’re 50 miles out with a quiet mind and a clock that makes no sense. That “time stands still” moment is real for many riders, and I wanted to understand why it shows up so reliably on long rides. We unpack the psychology behind it, including the time paradox of memory: when your days are repetitive, your brain stops creating fresh...

Send us Fan Mail Wind therapy sounds gentle until you are leaned over in a hard crosswind, peeling your fingers off the grips at the next coffee stop and realizing you just spent 75 miles getting punched sideways by air. That is where this ride begins: Mark rolls up on his Triumph Rocket 3, I’m on my BMW R1250GS Adventure, and a simple plan turns into a 300-mile loop into Wyoming where the wind and rain decide to make the rules. We talk through what gusty riding really feels like and w...
