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.

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.

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, and

The Abstract Joy Of Motorcycling

Peace Love Moto - Where Motorcycling meets Mindfulness ·

2026/01/10

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 announces itself

Step off the interstate and into a different kind of ride. We open with gratitude for a listener who reminded us that joy is a worthy destination, then point our front wheels toward the slower roads that reshape how we see, breathe, and connect. The smells change, the pace softens, and the world stops rushing past. That’s where the ride becomes more than miles.Guided by William Least Heat-Moon’s Blue Highways, we explore a simple rule that changes everything: skip the main highways and follow the

A strange dizziness hit the moment I rolled back into the home station—fifty minutes gone to a glowing feed, attention tunneled and time erased. That jolt became a wake-up call to question how algorithms shaped that day and why a simple motorcycle ride can reset our minds, restore presence, and reconnect us to people who are actually there.Today, we dive into the mechanics of captured attention, the lure of AI-curated content, and the rising trend of companion chatbots that simulate connection while

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.

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 silence isn’t

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.
