JP has a great story. He's fallen to great depths and is now rising far above what he thought possible, but he's doing with a solid grounding; remembering where he's come from. This year (2015) he won the Showclass Magazine's People's Champ contest. Having competed against 30+ builders for a spot at the final, he not only made it to the finals, but clinched the grand prize and had his bike displayed at Born Free for all the public to see.

Tyler Malinky

I first met Tyler face to face at the annual Biltwell swap about a year ago. Tyler leads a pretty busy life, being a dad, traveling, riding, racing, and supporting events all around the globe. He's built a small empire with Lowbrow Customs which now supports not only himself full time but friends and family as well. Through the magic of the interwebs, we were able to sit down virtually with Tyler and talk. There's a whole lot more to this man than meets the eye. Grab a beverage or two and join us.

Dave Polgreen

This interview is one that couldn't have come together as it did any other way. Dave and his family had just moved to California from Minnesota and were likely still unpacking when he came down to talk choppers and life with me. Dave is such an unassuming person. He is calm, easy to talk with, and has had some great experiences in life. These things made this interview a complete pleasure and I think you'll agree that Dave is one of those people that plays his cards close to chest but when he does show his hand, you walk away a better person.

A few words come to mind when I think of Keino, but one really stands out; Determined. Keino has lived a pretty incredible life not void of adventure or amazing opportunity. It takes guts to stare fear in the face, pack up everything you own, and move across the country for a single opportunity. It takes even more guts to leave your native land to pursue a dream in another. Sit down with Keino and I as we discuss life, loss, and the pursuits of a dreamer.

Mike O'Brien

It's not very often that you get to sit down with a legend in the motorcycle community. Mike O'Brien has been working his ass off since the youngest age he can remember. Painter, bike builder, and shop owner located in Long Beach California. There's no glamorous showroom, no parts counter, no front of shop people sitting around waiting for the next sucker to walk in an purchase a branded piece of merchandise; Just a dozen lifts and bikes from wall to wall. Mike is one of kind. He treated me like family and welcomed me into his house/shop. He pulls no punches and what you see is what you get.  Mike is fighting cancer for the second time and he's not giving up. He's a fighter. There's no gofundme, donation can, or special organization to support him, just his business. If you like what you hear and want to help out Mike, drop by the shop and purchase a part from him.

Tony Nguyen

After the invited builder videos fade, the roar of the weekend events quiet, and the realities of riding a two wheeled deathtrap sets in, you realize that there are people out there who keep other peoples bikes on the road for them. They are the unsung heros that appear virtually out of nowhere with a tire, tube, or belt. They own a little known shop or space that puts food on the table and keeps the creditors at bay. They are guys on Tony Nguyen of LandSpeed Motorcycles in Foundtain Valley, Ca., and they rarely get credit for what they do. Tony is no stranger to the hustle of the moto world. He's a go getter who's got most of what he needs done by lunch time. He's quick on the draw and will come home with two barn finds before anyone was the wiser.

Your browser does not support the audio element.   RoadBlock 1%er grew up in Jacksonville, Florida’s Sin City neighborhood. An admitted “adrenaline junkie” in his early years, he raced on NASCAR-sanctioned tracks in Florida and Georgia with many of the great drivers from that era, including Wayne Shugart, the Ezells, Eddie MacDonald, Rance Phillips, Herb Spivey and Tiny Lund.  Fast cars led to fast motorcycles, and RoadBlock joined the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in 1971. In the years to follow, he became president of several Florida chapters, then Regional Boss, living the high-speed 1970s lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock and roll.  That lifestyle caught up with him and he wound up serving thirty years in federal prison, beginning in Leavenworth U.S. Penitentiary. As one Judge declared, they wanted to make an example of him to discourage others from joining motorcycle clubs. Ironically, even from a prison cell, RB became well known in the U.S. and internationally because of his ability to survive, and his "never give up" attitude.  As for the motorcycle clubs the judge hoped to eliminate, they are stronger today than ever. In the years following 9/11, RB began to receive correspondence from young military people. Their courage, despite the traumatic physical and mental injuries they sustained, profoundly affected RB. These vets returned home to a world they no longer felt comfortable in, just as many Vietnam vets did in RB's era.  RB became an outspoken advocate for disabled vets, and the rights they were due.  In December 2009, RB finally reached his mandatory release date, and was allowed to go home after almost 30 years in prison.  He is now writing a fiction biker series set in the 1970s about the adventures of military vet Joe Wilson. Struggling with PTSD in a time when Vietnam vets were reviled and disrespected, Joe's rise to power in the notorious Regents Motorcycle Club shows one man's attempt to find his place in a changed world. The first book is appropriately titled "The Probate."  Web: Roadblock 1%r  Books: The Probate &amp; New Orleans Revenge  Music: Mothership  Edits/Mix: Mike Tubbs  Executive Producer: Heather Tubbs

Ironically, even from a prison cell, RB became well known in the U.S. and internationally because of his ability to survive, and his "never give up" attitude. As for the motorcycle clubs the judge hoped to eliminate, they are stronger today than ever. In the years following 9/11, RB began to receive correspondence from young military people. Their courage, despite the traumatic physical and mental injuries they sustained, profoundly affected RB. These vets returned home to a world they no longer felt comfortable in, just as many Vietnam vets did in RB's era.  RB became an outspoken advocate for disabled vets, and the rights they were due. In December 2009, RB finally reached his mandatory release date, and was allowed to go home after almost 30 years in prison. He is now writing a fiction biker series set in the 1970s about the adventures of military vet Joe Wilson. Struggling with PTSD in a time when Vietnam vets were reviled and disrespected, Joe's rise to power in the notorious Regents Motorcycle Club shows one man's attempt to find his place in a changed world. The first book is appropriately titled "The Probate."

Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.” ― Henry David Thoreau  Few people now days actually live in the present. Neither do they look you straight in your eyes and listen to the things you have to say, instead of thinking of what they'll say next. I think that's what makes Josh so interesting. He has a natural ability to capture moments of life on film, preserving not just a pictoral account, but something greater.

"Goodness does not consist in greatness, but greatness in goodness." -Athenaeus  Andy certainly brings a lot of goodness. To have had the experiences that Andy has had at such a young age and not let them go to your head or destroy you takes a certain amount of humility. Listen in as we talk life, family, and machines.

Oliver Jones

When I first met Oliver, I had no idea the caliber of individual I was shaking hands with. Quiet, almost stoic, but engaged Oliver can seem at first glance like he could care less about what's going on around him. This however couldn't be further from the truth. He's a driven and observant man with conviction; A full or no throttle type guy that's not afraid to get his hands dirty to "get it done". Listen to Oliver talk about jumping in to life head first, you will not be disappointed.

I thought it fitting that this, our last episode of season one should focus on the thing that really kicked off this whole idea, Born Free! I was fortunate enough to catch up with one of the minds behind the greatest motorcycle show on the west coast, Grant Peterson. Listen in as Grant walks us through the early days of the show and talks about the ups and downs of throwing a huge show like Born Free. I hope you can all make it out. See you there!
