🆘 Eddie is a pillar of the NYC riding community and he needs our help
On Saturday (August 10th) morning at around 10:30am, Eddie Song came off his motorcycle in a slow speed crash. He broke his neck and back. His neck will heal over time but his back is far more problematic. He is currently paralyzed from his med-section down and there is a good chance he will be paralyzed for life.
Eddie loved his bike
Eddie has been a pillar of the motorcycling community in NYC and we all love him very much. We're all in shock. What we feel now pales in comparison to what Eddie, his wife June, and family are going through. We are asking all of the many people he has touched to pray for him and his family during this difficult time.
The expenses will pile up. We are also asking the community to come together as Eddie would have surely done for us. He needs our support and we need to show up.
Please donate whatever you can; it's going to be a long road. We’ve got a GoFundMe going.
😇 MotoSweeper is AAA for motorcycles
I’m no stranger to being stranded on the side of the fucking road. My best friend and I are launching MotoSweeper, a roadside assistance membership for riders. We are starting off with unlimited towing to the closest service center for $297 a year. Anyone on the waitlist gets the first year for $197.
Why us? Between the two of us, we’ve got half a century (ffs we’re old) of professional experience launching companies, advertising, servicing, and logistics. We’re the combination of break shit and launch and that pain in the ass guy in the room that thinks too far ahead. Put together, we’ve got a balance and MotoSweeper can only succeed if that balance is maintained.
MotoSweeper will launch next month but we’ve opened a waitlist with a massive first year discount ($100 off) for anyone that signs up. It doesn’t cost you anything to get on the waitlist but please only sign up if you’re truly interested.
🥇 The NYC MOTO Riders Club
The Riders Club has been mostly flying under the radar but it’s time to open the cage.
Here’s what being a member of The Riders Club means:
🌟 You’re supporting the only newsletter for riders in NYC. I work hard as hell bringing you this content and hunt down brands, routes, gear, and stories I know you’ll love. It’s a full time job and subscribers to the NYC MOTO Riders Club make it possible.
🔗 All of the Google Maps links & .GPX from our ride guides. Simply click on the links and follow the same turn-by-turn directions I did. I include .GPX links as well.
🛣️ A new route every week. There is an email blast that goes out on Thursdays to only those that subscribe to the Riders Club. It features one new spectacular route every week.
🤑 Exclusive discount codes to the 🔥 hottest gear. Some of the discounts are higher value than the free subscribers and you’ll also see some exclusive gear/brands entirely.
Give it a shot with a 7 day free trial:
Or if you’re the non-committal type, buy me a cup of ☕️ coffee. Honestly though, I’d probably just spend it on a pair of gloves.
