  Riding is Life: Ahmed Wagih, Harley Davidson and a Global Community

  Aug 20, 202646 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to remember the world is full of good people might be as simple as taking a ride and talking to whoever pulls up next to you. I’m Ron Francis, and on Peace Love Moto I sit down with Ahmed Wagih, a Harley-Davidson Super Fan raised in Egypt and now living in Vietnam whose videos radiate the kind of joy you can’t fake. From the first minutes, we’re on the same wavelength: motorcycles calm the mind, widen the heart, and turn strangers into friends in seconds. Wagih takes us back to Austin, Texas, where he first learns to ride on a 1996 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy and discovers what it feels like to see the freeway “outside the cage.” We get into why Harley culture travels so well, why Route 66 still lives in riders’ imaginations worldwide, and how motorcycle travel can be the most honest kind of therapy. He also shares why he taught himself filmmaking and editing, and how he tries to use social media for something rare: authentic community instead of empty noise. Then we head to California for one of my favorite stories: Wagih meets the Early Riders Club at Neptune’s Net and asks four older riders a single question, “Why do you ride?” Their answers “Riding is life,” “Freedom,” “Fun” hit with the force of lived experience. We connect that wisdom to everyday life, to mental health, to staying present, and even to Wagih's latest project: building a custom chopper in Ho Chi Minh City and riding it through a sea of scooters just to feel fully alive. Ha ha, this is a fun conversation.

  Overcoming Fear - Lessons from Bad Flights and Good Motorcycle Rides

  Aug 14, 202623 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail Turbulence can make you feel helpless, nauseated, and sure you’re about to die, yet that same wild, bouncy motion can feel like freedom when you’re standing on the pegs of a motorcycle. That’s the tension we unpack as we explore what I call the turbulence paradox: why fear spikes when we lose agency, and why calm shows up when we become an active participant in the chaos. I tell the true story of a brutal approach into Denver, multiple failed landing attempts, and the moment I realized I was trying to manufacture control with routines and rituals. Then we bring it back to the dirt, a high-altitude dual sport ride in Colorado where the trail bucks, traction flickers, and the bike dances beneath you. We dig into practical riding skills for rough roads, loose grip, eyes far ahead, balanced posture, and why a smooth throttle can create stability when fighting the bars makes everything worse. From there, the conversation widens into anxiety management and mindfulness. We talk about “false evidence appearing real,” target fixation in corners, and the control paradox: the tighter you try to control the outside world, the less control you have over your internal state. The goal isn’t to stop the wind or flatten the trail, it’s to master your breath, focus, and reactions so you can find peace in uncertainty.

  Motorcycle Relief Project with Mike Babbitt

  Aug 7, 202641 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail Some weeks don’t just feel good. They change the trajectory of a life. https://www.motorelief.org/ We’re joined by Mike Babbitt, military veteran and president of Motorcycle Relief Project, a nonprofit that takes veterans and first responders dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other invisible injuries on five-day adventure motorcycle relief rides. The bikes and the Rocky Mountain and Arizona landscapes pull you out of the daily grind, but that’s only the start. The real engine is the small-group environment where you can finally stop performing “fine,” talk with people who speak your language, and learn practical tools you can actually use when you get back home. We get into why Motorcycle Relief Project refuses to judge the source of trauma, how years of bottled stress can turn into isolation, anger, and broken relationships, and what it looks like when that pressure finally releases in a safe space. Mike also explains how adventure riding builds confidence fast, why community matters more than horsepower, and how alumni stay connected so the support doesn’t end when the ride ends. If you’re looking for veteran mental health resources, first responder PTSD support, or a motorcycle nonprofit doing measurable, human work, this conversation points you to a clear next step. Listen through, share it with someone who needs it, then subscribe and leave a review so more riders and families can find this help when it matters most.

  The Sound of Riding a Motorcycle: Analog Experiences in a Digital World

  Jul 30, 202617 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we reflect on the power of real, uncompressed sound—from great seats at the New York Philharmonic to the distant rumble of mountain thunder while on a solo ride. In a world dominated by compressed digital streams and screen simulation, riding a motorcycle offers an unfiltered, high-fidelity connection to reality. Unplug the headphones, step away from the digital noise, and discover why two wheels offer the ultimate acoustic space.

  The Secret to Mountain Motorcycling: Finding Your Zen and Losing the Crowds

  Jul 23, 202617 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail You can ride the Rocky Mountains and still feel strangely rushed, like you brought the whole world with you to 12,000 feet. I’m Ron Francis, and from my home base in Loveland, Colorado, I want to share what I’ve learned after decades around Rocky Mountain National Park and thousands of guided tours: the “secret” to mountain motorcycling isn’t a hidden route, it’s the subtle shifts that change your entire experience. Timing, pace, and presence turn a loud, chaotic vacation into something that stays in your memory for life. We talk about why so many riders blow past the best parts of the Rockies because of schedules, hotel reservations, and GPS arrival times and how to break that pattern without sacrificing a solid plan. I connect a core riding skill, slow in, fast out, to trip planning: set your day up early, ride off-peak, and let the mountains meet you when the air is crisp, the sunrise hits the peaks, and the crowds are still asleep. We also get very practical about slowing your pace, loosening your grip, widening your vision, and noticing what you came for: pine-scented air, flickering aspens, canyon walls, and the steady calm that comes with altitude and space. Then I share a true story from an 11,000-foot meadow with a family visiting from Chicago, where intentional silence opens the door to awe and a kind of peace of mind that’s hard to describe until you feel it. Whether you call that voice God, Mother Nature, or simply the relief of mental clutter melting away, it’s available to you on two wheels if you ride in a way that makes room for it.
