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."

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

"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 let my riding do the talking."

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 believe that an outdoor product should inspire people to get outside and that once they’re outside using that product, it should fade away into the background so they can focus on the experience."

"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."

"We spend all our free time exploring Europe on the TET, meeting riders from different countries, and sharing experiences."

"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."

"The more I travel, the more I want to explore and live life to the fullest."

"As a nomadic spirit, I found it easy to merge these two passions by working in kitchens while traveling on my motorcycle."

"After a long winter riding through numerous countries, I was hooked."

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.

"Adventurous wild camping weekends and backyard riding with friends are my weekly routine."

"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 bit the bullet, resigned from my job, and set off on a solo adventure across Europe on my KTM 690."
