Safety Gear Episodes

Ross Pino a self-taught painter raised in the Southwest with deep indigenous roots. He came up through skateboarding, taught himself to paint, and has owned around fifty motorcycles, including a gorgeous 2020 Triumph Thruxton TFC. It's a wide-ranging talk about art, identity, and the memento mori philosophy that keeps him riding with his eyes wide open. Plus, some real-world rider wisdom on why reliability and being seen can save your life.

Kicking off riding season with a tribute to my cousin Luca Simonassi, a fellow rider we lost in Sicily, and whose humor and spirit I hope comes through in every word. Then we get straight into the mailbag with some great questions including garage sale helmets, riding with a group that is way too fast for you, and how to start your own bike night without getting sued. Dust off the bike. This one is for you.
