Mosko Staff

“My appetite for raw, gritty travel is currently stronger than ever, and motorcycles are still my tool of choice."

"I was born and raised on the West Coast of BC where I learned to ski, mountain bike, and moto. I traded a pair of skis for my first bike, an SP250 Enduro."

"Every time I get on a bike I’m left wanting more."

"Seeing the world from atop my bike, meeting the people and learning from different cultures had opened my eyes in so many ways."

"Sometimes the best gear is that which accomplishes its mission in the simplest possible way. That’s the perspective I bring to creating riding gear at Mosko."

"Independently minded, apparently from the start, my father put bells on my shoes so he could find me and keep me from getting lost in the hay fields."

"In early 2016, I finally concluded that I was mature enough to ride motorcycles without rendering my kid fatherless, and I got my endorsement."

"There’s a certain joy to riding two wheels; it has long been a freedom for me and I suppose it always will be."

"In the midst of a global pandemic, I realized it was time for a change."

I bought the biggest, baddest hog I could find; the 2001 KTM LC4. The bike was much too big for me, but once I was flying through the streets and careening across the trails, I just couldn’t keep away.

I was five years old when I started riding motorcycles and my memories are of riding motos before I rode a bicycle. I recently asked my dad and his response was “yes, that would be accurate”.

"I gained my confidence riding on HWY 1 and maxing out at turtle speeds around steep curves."

"I secretly bought a 12 years old, far too big and far too heavy but affordable Suzuki GSX 750EF as a “fait accompli” to my parents while they were on a weekend trip."

"I pulled a Yamaha 125 TTR with zero suspension and flame grips from my uncle's garage."

"Being introduced to this lifestyle during my childhood instilled in me an everlasting need to explore, preferably on two wheels."

"My favorite part by far about riding is the community."

Sitting still is a struggle for me, so traveling by bike suits me well. The world just seems to make more sense to me when viewed from the seat of a motorcycle.

"A study abroad at an international business school in Jönköping, Sweden sparked my interest for international travel and connecting with new cultures, people, and places."

"Throughout my younger years, when not surfing, I spent my free time riding motocross bikes in the wide-open Mojave Desert and on the rocky trails of California’s central coast."

"I grew up in bush Alaska where my family ran a hunting lodge. Our only access was by float plane, ski plane, or snowmobile."

"This transformative trip reshaped everything, and long-term ADV travel became the organizing principle of every choice I made for nearly a decade."
