The idea of Riders Stories came up due to the constant negative press, in which media continues to portray anyone who rides a motorcycle or scooter as a potential criminal. Obviously there is an epidemic of bike theft and crime happening and those who ride (and own the bikes!) are being affected more than anyone.

However, people at riding stories love riding bikes and feel that the media needs some fresh content on the actual people who ride. Their mission with Riding Stores is to profile those behind the helmet, their personal stories and why they ride. They write about the incredible diversity of people getting on two wheels, why they ride and what they ride.

Rider stories wants to share these stories and profile of riders. The feeling of being free while riding is a big reason. It’s a different job to most; you start and finish whenever you want, any hour of the day. Very easy job and it’s nice. I really love motorbikes (…and money) so what better way to earn money than to ride around the things that one loves! You can work as hard or as little as you want without a manager to hassle you in your ear.
