Send us a text In this interview, we sit down with author and motorcycle enthusiast Ted Kettler, who recently penned the book The Road Most Traveled. Ted is a lifelong rider, host of the long-running "Motorcycle Men" podcast, and someone who’s no stranger to epic journeys on two wheels. His latest adventure takes readers along for his ride from New Jersey to the Florida Keys, offering a candid and humorous look at the highs, lows, and life lessons learned while riding one of America’s busiest highways on a 2003 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic. In our chat, Ted talks about what inspired the trip, what it took to prepare the bike, the surprises and challenges along the route, and why riding a motorcycle changes everything about the travel experience. He also shares tips for new riders thinking about their own long-distance adventures, insight into the writing process, and even a preview of his upcoming book about riding to the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Whether you’re an avid rider itching for some inspiration or someone with a love for the open road, this conversation is full of relatable stories, valuable advice, and the spirit of motorcycling. After the interview we talk about the soft launch of the 2027 European ADV Cannonball Rally.

Send us a text Let’s add Mark’s new novel to the Motorcycle Book Club and discuss this new work of American biker fiction.  We're off to India and Tokyo this week!  Running On Empty takes readers on a gripping, fictionalized motorcycle journey through a vividly real America. As the main characters flee both an organized crime syndicate and the police, they ride through many of the country’s most iconic motorcycling destinations. The level of detail in the narrative suggests the author has ridden every mile himself—and perhaps even spent some time on the run. The story resonates with the universal fear of how a few bad choices—our own or those of people close to us—can spiral out of control. At its heart, the book delivers a raw, unflinching exploration of religious cults in America, shining a light on the dark secrets hidden in its quietest corners. For any motorcyclist craving a high-octane escape, this novel offers the perfect ride—one filled with danger, freedom, and the kind of adventure that feels just one decision away. -Aaron Pufal  Support the show Free Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLE Aaron's Ride Outs Map HERE Support us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-Pufal Support us on Patreon HERE Buy us a Coffee HERE The Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.
