- The (Storm) King is Back
🧠 Need to know this week…
🎀 Storm King Highway is OPEN! Get your routes here.
🛣️ 44Teeth does the ultimate Panigale Road Trip; it’s like Saturday morning cartoons for adults
🌫️ Here’s how Pinlock shields actually work to eliminate fog from helmet visors
☠️ The Hells Angels are banned in the Netherlands
🌟 The Panigale reviews are out and they’re gushing
⛑️ Eddie still needs our help. Please consider donating if you haven’t already.
🙏 SA1NT (best damn riding gear out there) has donated $10 gift cards for all new NYC MOTO Riders Club members
💫 Roadside assistance for riders is coming. Get on the waitlist.
I went back to Storm King Highway
I forgot how technical it was…
All in all, they did a phenomenal job restoring the road. It’s as beautiful as I remember it, even though I’ve only been on it a handful of times before it washed out last year.
It was good being back and to have another option instead of flying up 9w every time. Storm King being open does mean that the best 14 mile loop (Storm King Highway/9w) in the area is viable again.
The parts of Storm King that aren’t exposed are fully canopied though so take care after rains & early mornings.
Google Maps is finally showing the road open but Calimoto is still behind. I can put together routes using Google Maps but I prefer Calimoto for turn-by-turn nav on the bike. Once Calimoto is ready, I’ll release the routes for Riders Club members.
😇 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
For a limited time, SA1NT has graciously donated $10 gift cards for the next 20 members to sign up.
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:
We’ll shoot you the SA1NT gift card after your trial’s done.
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.
🙏 Join the NYC MOTO Free Facebook Group
Go ahead and hit up the NYC MOTO Community to keep the convo going.
Until next time!
