A heartfelt conversation about motorcycles, meaning, and second chances.

In this episode of Miles Shared, Bear talks about riding with his dog Ghillie, starting late, quitting drinking, and finding purpose on the open road.

I sit down with the Nevada Stray Cat—a lifelong rider whose journey has taken him from pillion passenger at age six to solo adventures on a Can-Am Ryker across the open roads of the American West.

Ken Hollis joins me for the first episode of Miles Shared, where we talk moto-camping, national parks, and the stories that stay with you long after the ride.
