This week, I am looking back on all the things I am thankful for on the Motorcycle TransAm, and when it all comes down to it, the answer is simple. THE PEOPLE. The riders, the crews, the staff, the sponsors, the fans who showed up in person, and the fans who supported us from afar. […]

Let’s talk about the farthest-traveled team we had in the race this week, Team Italy! These guys came from across the ocean to take on the TransAm, and they brought with them a ton of heart, enthusiasm, and energy. Before they even hit the starting line, they faced challenges most of us could only imagine.

Let’s talk about a smaller team this week. Small doesn’t mean less heart, and Norm proved that! The team from Colorado, Norm Berg and his 1925 Harley-Davidson JD. As always, it takes a team, and Norm had a great one with his wife, Denise, and Kent Pyatt. Along with being his support crew, this dynamic

Let’s talk about another close-knit team this week, Team Kansas-Texas. Somehow, we still don’t have a better name for them yet! This crew was a team of pure Harley-Davidsons, led by none other than the Harley whisperer himself. Bill Page built so many motors that ran on the TransAm, somewhere around a third of the

But the Wolfpack isn’t just the riders, it’s the whole team. For this run, it consisted of Frank Westfall, Loring Hill, Mark Hill, Bryan

Let’s talk about something that often goes unnoticed during the Motorcycle TransAm: our support crew. These folks are the quiet heroes who keep everything moving, making sure our century-old bikes and riders make it to the finish line each day. For our 34 riders this year, we had two incredible riders out on the road

Can you believe it has already been two weeks since the end of the inaugural Motorcycle TransAm? What a whirlwind it was. I think we are all going through a little withdrawal not being surrounded by friends every day, not fixing bikes every night, and not falling asleep from sheer exhaustion with a smile on

The final stage of the Motorcycle TransAm was short on miles but big on heart. Riders had just 125 miles to cover today, a treat after so many long grinds. We started out in the lush Oregon forest, rolling toward the coast then to Highway 101. The fog was so thick in the morning that

Stage 14 of the Motorcycle TransAm was another long and grueling day. Even with only two stages left these riders pushed through 294 miles that included the spectacular McKenzie Pass in the Cascades. The route showed off just how beautiful and diverse Oregon can be. We rolled from the stark, otherworldly stretches of eastern Oregon
