Bobby Lynch - Tour Guide.
Bobby in one of Wil's oldest friends. They make a great team on the road. He has lived both on the east coast and in Los Angeles, commuting by bike on the LA Freeways. He has explored the USA by classic car as well as motorcycle. He enjoys riding motorcycles, photography, being a musician, and painting. Bobby owns and runs the Sol Cooper Art Gallery. But he also restores old buildings, and used to play rugby.
Bobby is a great guy to spend time with on the side of the road. You always have a nice time hanging out with Bobby. A ride free rider favorite.

Erin Sakowski runs support and the office. She has ridden all over the USA by motorcycle on the tours, and traveled the every nook of the country by Classic Car and Airstream Trailer. Her longest trip exploring the country in one stretch was 18,000 miles per 1964 Buick Convertible and Airstream with her sister.
The below picture is us leading a Ride Free Tour on our honeymoon years ago.
Spencer Getty is another old friend Wil met when he started working at our Hot Rod Shop Sakowski Motors. Spencer can lead a tour, fabricate a motorcycle from scratch, paint a custom helmet ( see picture ), and he cooks a mean breakfast.
Andrew Hardy is one of our drivers. He is also Wil's cousin. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Jake is another part of the circle of old friends. He drives the support van and is our go to guy.
Whether it is keeping an eye on everyone's tire pressures on the trip, to rounding up stragglers, Jake get's it done. When he is not working on his custom chopper, he and his wife both work in the Hollywood film industry. If you need a special effects guy to blow something up, Jake's your man.
Erik Seversen is the company founder in 1994. We call him "The Godfather."
Erik has traveled the world exploring. He has been a professor at UCLA University. And, has explored every nook and cranny of the United States, as well as traveling the world. While he no longer runs the operation, he is and will always be an important part of the Ride Free Family.
You could not be on the road with a better guy.
He is a fast long friend of Wil's.
