Episode 12

On the show we catch up with Scott Lee of Colorado Motorcycle Adventures. From a 1972 Honda Mini Trail 50 to a fleet of Adventure bikes, Scott eats, drinks and sleeps motorcycles. And from that lifelong love of all things with two wheels and an engine came Colorado Motorcycle Adventures ("CMA"), the premier adventure rental and tour company in the Mountain West. Scott started CMA with the idea of offering superior motorcycles, unparalleled customer service and most importantly, the opportunity for adventure to those who want to see and experience the United States in a way that only motorcycles can provide.

We talk with Scott about how he took the leap from full-time advertising exec to CEO of Colorado Motorcycle Adventures; how Mt. Vernon, Illinois may be the ADV and music capital of the world; and how Scott's favorite one-day advanced trail ride, the "717 Stinger" got its name. Stick around, I think you'll enjoy this episode.

On the show we catch up with Chris Parker of Rottweiler Performance. Chris, along with co-owner wife Mariel and their dedicated team, draw from a rich history in highly competitive motorsports to create precision-made aftermarket performance parts for the KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles. The Rottweiler team's motto is "Unleash the Beast" - and if you've ever added one of their products to your motorcycle, you know that tag line is a perfect fit for this fast growing company. From its humble beginnings in a 1,300 square foot shop selling one-off parts by word of mouth to ADV Rider members to a manufacturer and global distributor of world class products, Rottweiler Performance has carved out a big niche for itself in the adventure motorcycle world.

We talk to Chris about how he got into the performance motorsports game, how his relationship with KTM has evolved over the years and how he came up with the name "Rottweiler".

In this episode we catch up with Nathan Jenkins a serious Adventure Rider who grew up in a hippie commune in the hills of Northwest Arkansas. Nathan is an unofficial ambassador for Arkansas adventure riding and can point you to every good trail, creek crossing and café in the State. He can tell you about every good piece of adventure gear, technology and upgrade out there and probably buys and sells more motorcycles each month than some dealerships.

If you haven’t hooked up your rear tire into some Arkansas dirt, you’re certainly missing some of the best dual-sport and adventure riding in the country. We talk to Nathan about growing up on motorcycles, some of the best spots for Adventure riders and pin him down in a rapid fire “best of” list. Enjoy the episode.
