This is the trip you keep talking about but never book.
Show up with your license and your nerve. I handle the bike, gear, and stay.
You ride the most coveted roads in the world.

It lives in the pull between you and the road, a tension that keeps drawing you back, closer each time. The mountains rise and open, the curves inviting, and you lean into them like something you trust, something you crave. There is a rhythm to it, a slow surrender, where control softens just enough to feel everything.
Why is no one talking about this?
@freedommotorsports.fl is an opportunity for all riders, originally created to give military and veterans access to real, on-track training at no cost so they can ride safer and build confidence where it actually matters.
That purpose still carries through the entire experience. It is structured, intentional, and focused on skills you can apply the moment you leave the track.
If getting to a camp is not realistic, the next best option is Yamaha ChampU. It gives you access to the same core principles in a format you can revisit and apply every time you ride.
On track, everything is led by certified coaches from the Yamaha Champions Riding School family, using their curriculum. No fluff. Just fundamentals that work at real speed. Vision, braking, body position, control. It all connects in a way that builds confidence quickly.
This is the kind of training that stays with you long after the day ends.
The problem is I’m good at annoying people until they break. Is this my calling?

So apparently psychologically terrorizing Instagram followers through excessive motorcycle content is not only a personality flaw. It’s a path to mastery.
Quit surviving. Chase something that makes you feel alive
Escape with us this Saturday and come rack up some miles through the mountains. Chase the curves, clear your head, and let the road fix what the week broke
Bring the bike, bring the energy, and we’ll handle the rest

Boss and I might not have had the win today, but what we do have is time. Time to practice every day. Especially when you can’t go a single day without thinking about it.
being low maintenance usually has a body count, because no good deed goes unpunished when your confidence depends on someone else holding your motorcycle up for you. i appreciate every friend willing to jump in and help, but there is a difference between kindness and dependence, and that line matters. the goal is not to prove you never need people. the goal is knowing that if nobody is around, you can still handle your own machine. small women can absolutely manage big bikes, but it takes training, technique, repetition, and enough uncomfortable moments to learn the tricks that eventually make the weight feel lighter.
The best moments do not happen on your phone. They happen out on the road with the engine under you and the world opening up ahead. That feeling you keep watching is something you can step into. Come ride this weekend and create your own.
We all fall down when loading and unloading bikes. So I think it is better we share our experiences to avoid making the same mistakes.
Use the front brake and clutch as a backup brake if your front brake master cylinder fails. Keep the bike in first gear and work the friction zone to control your speed. This keeps you from picking up momentum and rolling into a free fall when backing down a ramp, which can save you from a hard fall, a bruised ego, and a scratched bike.
When loading a motorcycle, walk it up beside you or ride it up only if you have solid clutch and throttle control. Keep a steady pace and avoid stopping halfway up, because that is where things get unstable.
Set yourself up right. Load in a straight line on flat ground whenever possible. A longer ramp with a lower angle gives you more control. Always secure your ramp to the truck or trailer so it cannot move.
Avoid loading in the rain or on low traction surfaces like diamond plate, wet metal, gravel, or steep short ramps. That combination is where most mistakes happen.
Use proper footwear with good grip. If you can, use a wider ramp or a second ramp so you can walk beside the bike.
Once the bike is up, use a wheel chock and secure it with four tie downs in an opposing pattern to keep it stable.
Take your time. Stay smooth. Most of these mistakes come from rushing or bad setup.
I'm here! You know I do guided mc tours in the Smokies, right? Yep! and I can help setup your rentals if you don’t have a bike, gear, lodging, etc. Details on my website in my bio, or just hit me up!
Talk. Listen. Adjust. That is where the real progress happens. The laps just expose what needs work, the people around you show you how to fix it. That is how you get faster, and that is how real friendships are built at the track.
