Toby Myles • February 1, 2019  I have always been curious (translation: nosy) about how other women got started riding motorcycles, and in particular, moms who ride. So, 2-years ago I started asking questions, and the more I found out, the more I wanted to know. And suddenly, a blog series was born. This year for the first time I’m adding a live video interview to the blog. I guess that makes it a vlog? Who knows. Either way, it’s gonna be incredibly fun and I hope you’ll enjoy watching. This week I interviewed Hannah Laine. I’ve followed Hannah on social...

By Toby Myles  |  January 24, 2019 Weathered, worn, rusting and old. For as long as I can recall, I’ve been attracted to old pieces of metal, tools and mechanical parts. I was 8-years old as I stood tippy-toed next to my dad while he peered under the hood of his used Dodge Dart. My dad was pretty handy when it came to fixing cars, which is why he never could justify buying a new one. He was also very frugal, but that’s a whole separate blog post. I vividly remember watching him work with a wrench, or a pair...

An imprint made in sand or dirt. Someplace on the side of the road. You were there, and now you’re off chasing the next adventure. Each impression, as unique as a fingerprint, can be traced back to the owner. My Tredz Collection represents you. Your love of travel and adventure, and how you make your unique mark on this earth.

I thought I knew how I was going...

I hate to be cold. I’m not even gonna sugarcoat it. And winter can really suck if you’re sitting inside, watching the outdoor thermometer, waiting for it to inch above freezing (guilty). I’m sometimes envious of my wind sisters that have perfect riding weather all year, yet I can’t imagine living someplace without a change in seasons. So, we have no other choice. We ride in the cold. If the roads are dry, and mostly free of road salt, we ride. Give me 40-degrees, a sliver of sunshine, my heated gear, and I’m ready to roll. Cold weather gear is...

How does one small business compete with the big box retail stores around the holidays? Well, we really don’t. I mean don’t get me wrong, we want our piece of the pie for sure. But we don’t have to go through multiple layers of meetings and red tape, if we want to run a special promotion. We say to ourselves “what’s the most amazing thing I can put together for my loyal customers?”. And ourselves say back “whatever the heck you want!”. This is how the Badass Box was born. I knew it had to be something unique, but also...
