Dork in the Road - Invidious

Dork in the Road

I am the Dork in the Road and I want to be your Internet Riding Buddy. Motorcycle adventure is my passion.

Adventure is for everyone, and I want to help others see how easy it is to just get out there and make it happen.

I don’t claim to be an expert. I’m just your average overweight, middle-aged, bearded dude out there making it up as I go. Every new adventure has something to teach me. Thank you for joining me along the way.

MY MISSION: to inspire, educate, and empower others to have adventures of their own.

New content every Monday and Wednesday morning, with the occasional bonus Friday vid or stream.

Disclaimer for reasons: I am not a professional journalist, expert motorcycle rider, or a mechanic. These videos are for entertainment purposes and represent my personal opinions and experiences. I'm just a dude who isn't even good at riding or making videos, so be smart and don't risk life or limb trying to follow my example or advice.
