Atwood handles the day to day running of the office.   He helps you get your tour booked, and may drive your van on tour.  He enjoys riding around on his Sportster bobber Harley-Davidson, or finding the best waves to surf.  Atwood owned a 1963 Oldsmobile as his daily driver. Wil first met Atwood at the local WBLA Wrightsville Beach Longboard Association Surf Club. This picture was taken with a self timer after he scaled to the top peak overlooking the Bear Tooth Highway on our epic Colorado Yellowstone Sturgis 2012 tour.

Jeff – Ξεναγός

 

 

 

 

The picture is in Newfoundland when Jeff was coming home from doing the Trans-Labrador Highway. It is the longest unpaved route in North America at over 500 μίλια. Runs from near Quebec, up thru Labrador, and down to Newfoundland.  Jeff is one of Bobby’s good riding friends, so it was only natural that he joined our adventures.

Jeff  is a life-long traveler, which started shortly after he was born in Munich, Γερμανία.
Throughout his military career he and his wife have ridden and explored the world, wherever they lived.
He is retired now, but still traveling and finding new places to share with fellow riders. He has literally
ridden around the world on his BMW and loves to ride, meet people from other lands, and share the
fellowship of the road. He has led private tours for friends, all over Europe and even into Russia, but still
believes that the USA has so many incredible places that he wants to help share it with the world. Jeff longest adventure as a tour guide was from Istanbul, Turkey to Xian, China.  He is also a bit of a mechanic, a juggler, and a great story-teller.

He has ridden in at least 57 countries on 5 continents. He has over 400,000 miles of riding on all his bikes (390,000+ on my three BMWs).  He has
ridden in every state except Hawaii, and has ridden from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the Darien Gap in Panama. He has some vintage Matchless, BMW, and Harley-Davidson bikes in his  “Classic Bike Pool Hall” where he hosts a vintage bike night.  And he has been married to a wonderful woman for 15 χρόνια.

“The one thing that might sum me up better than anything would be my philosophy that I have always seemed to seek out others whom have traveled abroad as well.  I honestly believe that the more someone has traveled the better a human being they become, because they are more understanding of the differences among others.  Travelers, regardless of their mode of transportation, seem to me to be more compassionate, understanding, inquisitive, and have a sense of joy for life that others haven’t found yet.”

Brian – Ξεναγός

It gives me great pleasure to be a working member of the Ride Free team.

I was born and raised in Southern California near the ocean. In my younger days I was a surfer
and scuba diver. The California waters were my paradise. I started riding motorcycles when
I was 17, loving the feel of the wind rushing through my hair (which I still have after all these
χρόνια) and the feel of being free and alive while cruising the roads. My first motorcycle was a
Honda 250 Scrambler which I bought in Hawaii and shipped back to the mainland. I continue
to enjoy the open road on my Yamaha V-Star 1100 having done many trips up and down the
State of California. During my life I have traveled extensively throughout the western United
States and have met great people and learned much about the different cultures of the places
I have visited. I spent 31 years as a firefighter and now I am enjoying retirement. Retirement
has afforded me the time to travel and work in areas that I really enjoy. I am looking forward to
the day we can spend a week or two together on the open road, seeing the sights that I have
learned to love. RIDE ΔΩΡΕΑΝ!

Spencer Getty – Ξεναγός

Spencer Getty is another old friend Wil met when Spencer started working at our Hot Rod Shop Sakowski Motors. Spencer μπορεί να οδηγήσει μια περιήγηση, κατασκευάσει μια μοτοσικλέτα από το μηδέν, ζωγραφίσει ένα έθιμο κράνος ( δείτε την εικόνα ), και αυτός μαγειρεύει μια μέση πρωινό.  Spencer commutes LA on a Harley, but also rides duel sport on a KTM.  He has owned and commuted daily in the LA traffic in a 1956 Buick and 1928 hot rod.

Karl – Photographer – Ξεναγός

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karl loves vintage air cooled BMW motorcycles having owned at least 13, and has traveled America in vintage Airstream trailers.   He drove coast to coast across American in a classic 1950 Chevy pickup truck, and still owns a classic truck. He has also known Wil and Erin for around 20 χρόνια.

After being ensconced in a photo studio for over a decade in NYC and over a decade in Virginia creating photographs of “things” ….
 jewelry, cosmetics, τροφή, there came a time when Karl Steinbrenner had an epiphany. He needed to bust  out.
And so he did.  www.karlwerks.com   Your group can choose to add Karl to your tour for top professional photos and video.
No longer content to make images within the confines of a box, indoors in the studio, he began to work with people out in the world.
Real people too, not just models. There was no going back.
In the last decade Karl has been fortunate to have had clients request that he photograph in Egypt, China, Amsterdam, Αυστραλία, New Zealand and Fiji.
When not actually on assignment he has taken his 1957 Airstream trailer to nearly every National Park in the U.S. and slept in countless truck stops,
rest stops, and small towns as well.   He photographs constantly.
His passion is for recording people, both on job such as surgeons intensely involved in a surgical procedure, long shoremen
unloading steel containers hundreds of feet above the deck using unwieldy cranes and off the job, folks touring Europe via the Rhine and the Danube,
others camel riding around the Great Pyramids and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef.
His love of motorcycling has also led to many adventures. Usually however he keeps both hands on the handle bars and both eyes on the road.
Working with the Ride Free team will be a fantastic opportunity; to photograph other lovers of the great outdoors pursuing their passions all the while
 steeped in great scenery and in good company.  It will allow Ride Free to  bring new technologies such as remote controlled cameras positioned in unusual
vantage points,  motorcycle or helmet-mounted video cameras and even time lapse imagery, to record the wonderful adventures and at destinations that are
truly awe inspiring in every respect.
