    It’s been two years with my 2022 Bonneville Speedmaster and two years with this amazing podcast. Getting ready to take my first multi day, multi state solo ride this next spring and this podcast gets me all worked up to want to go right now! Thanks Adam and all of you at For The Ride! I appreciate the guests, news, and all things Triumph! You are truly the best! Thank you!

  • Excellent podcast with a diverse guest list

    Always pleasantly surprised by each guest and their relationship with motorcycling. Having recently met Adam at the Isle of Triumph event at Barber Motorsports I can report he is as friendly and genuine as he sounds. The same is true of the entire Triumph staff.
