This one's special. Recorded live from the patio at Scottsdale Harley-Davidson during the Rev Up Rally at Arizona Bike Week 2025, this episode is packed with energy, bikes, and some incredible guests.

If you couldn't make it out this year, this is the next best thing — and if you were there, relive the vibes with us.

In this episode, we sit down with Carlos, the record holder for the most Ride 1K in a Day completions—both in a single year and overall. Originally from Southern California and now calling Nevada home, Carlos turned a life-changing accident into motivation to chase his passion and live life on his own terms.Find out what drove him to push past limits, stack up record-breaking miles, and truly embody the saying, "Put your miles where your mouth is." This conversation is packed with inspiration, endurance, and the mindset it takes to set (and break) records on two wheels.

In this episode, we sit down with Brandie Jo, aka @GirlLovesHarleys, a new rider in the Harley-Davidson scene with less than six months of riding Harleys. Despite being new to the Harley culture and lifestyle, Brandi is sharing her journey on social media. We talk about her experiences as a new rider, the challenges of finding her place in the community, and her bold ambition to leave a mark in an industry where many try but few succeed.

In this episode, we sit down with Danny from Danny's Custom Cycles, and an original member of Throttled Roots. Danny is a true staple in the Vicla community, with deep roots in the motorcycle industry. We take it back to the early days of Danny's time with the team, dive into his journey in the custom motorcycle world, and highlight his achievements both in business and through his work with the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation.

In Episode #125, we sit down with Jonathan from Fit Body Boot Camp at our studio inside Ventura Harley-Davidson. Jonathan isn't just a top-tier trainer—he's the guy who helped me take back my health, understand the mental and nutrition game, and stay consistent in the gym. With a background in cars and motorcycles, we hit it off right away, and in this episode, we dive into fitness, mindset, and the connection between riding and training. Whether you're a motorcycle rider looking to stay in shape or someone who wants real talk on health, strength, and motivation, this one's for you.

We sit down with Trinidad, the mastermind behind Trinidad Jeans, for an inspiring conversation. Recorded live at Ventura Harley-Davidson, this episode dives deep into Trinidad's journey—from his surprising connection to FX's Mayans M.C. to his late yet impactful start in the Marine Corps. We talk about how Trinidad turned his passion for denim into a premium jean brand. If you're in the Camarillo, California, pull up to the Trinidad Jeans store and experience it yourself!

The older I get the more I realize that Men's Mental Health is a real thing that a lot of men deal with that never speak about it. I went a little off brand this week and invited over a my homies, Mikey aka @1slowbagger33 and Kai aka @prodigythemechanic, to keep it real and talk like grown men. The first issue with Mens Mental Health is that its not talked about enough, and so i made it an obligation to speak on it during Mens Mental Health Awareness Month. Don't be silent about your struggles, its ok to reach out and we as men need to reach out to our friends more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/throttledroots/support

This is a heavy topic and one that is not taken lightly. We have a firm stance on behavior like this and recently, it was brought to the attention of the Harley motorcycle community, that a registered sex offender with a plea of guilty, was within our community. This subject is not taken lightly and it was important for us to take stance and make sure that the message is clear. There is a absolute zero tolerance in our community for that type of behavior and its is unexplainable. We felt it was important to use our platform to get the word out and have a serious discussion about it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/throttledroots/support
