Why Create the Ride of Passage?

The Ride of Passage began with a desire to share my personal transformation through travel and motorcycles.

When I was 25, I bought a plane ticket from New York City to Thailand. Through that decision I discovered motorcycles and tasted a freedom I had never known.

I rode Thailand North to South. I rode the USA East to West.

What I discovered off the motorcycle during those years changed me just as much — from online business to Bitcoin to faith. Those years showed me new ways of living, beyond weekdays in the office and weekends of binge drinking.

So my team started experimenting: could they package up the transformation that traveling by motorcycle delivered, and offer it to others? The Ride of Passage was born.

The Ride of Passage also satisfies my childhood dream: to travel the world creating epic moments with awesome people.

Even if my face sometimes says otherwise.

The Ride of Passage is a part of the It’s Better On The Road group, which promotes adventure and two wheeled freedom around the world.

The Ride of Passage started from the journey of understanding money and its influence on society. Our team created “What is Money” to distill our understanding of that question - it still serves as a great resource to learn about money, finance, and Bitcoin.
