This week, we’re starting the blog with something everyone experiences a little differently, but all for the same reason. Mornings on the TransAm. From the staff side and the rider side, the first hours of every day are all about one goal. Getting everyone out on the course safely and pointed in the right direction. […]

This week we are thinking warm thoughts with our friends from the South! And what better way to do that than by talking about the dynamic duo of a team, Erik Bahl and Joe Gimpel! Erik was the pilot on his 1915 Harley, and Joe was his support squad, always ready at each stop to

Another week, another awesome team to talk about. This week, we are going coast to coast because one team member lives in New Jersey, one in Oregon, one in Florida, and one in Washington. These guys are scattered all across the country, but they are great friends. One of the best things about antique motorcycles

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.

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

Let’s talk about one of the biggest and most unforgettable teams in the TransAm; you know ‘em, you love ‘em, Team Butts! Team Butts rolled deep this year, with a mix of machines, but the heart of their lineup was pure Harley-Davidson. Don’t let that fool you though, the champion, Mike Butts, rode a 1913

Let’s talk about one of our awesome teams, the infamous Wolfpack! The Wolfpack is a group of like-minded individuals who share a passion for four-cylinder antique motorcycles and enjoy racing them. 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
