What you see on social media isn't always what it's made up to be in the Motorcycle Industry. There is a side to the industry that isn't always pretty.

Throttled Roots was brought in to set the vibe and energy for the event and we did exactly that. The event was held at Biggs Harley in San Marcos California and was the first of many events planned throughout the year with So Cal Rider Coalition. Always fun when we podcast at live events. Enjoy this episode!
