    What 20 Years of Crash Data Taught Eric Teoh About Safety | Ep. 152

    Send us Fan Mail Eric Teoh, Director of Statistical Services at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), joins the One Gang Worldwide Podcast for a fascinating conversation about the crash data, research, and technology shaping the future of road safety. Eric shares how a background in mathematics and biostatistics led him to a career spanning more than two decades at IIHS, where he has helped analyze the real-world data behind vehicle crashes, motorcycle fatalities, and emerging safety technologies. Along the way, we discuss how crash studies are conducted, why modern vehicles often provide better protection than the "tank-like" cars of the past, and how technologies such as automatic emergency braking are helping reduce crashes before they happen. We also take a deep dive into motorcycle safety, covering helmet laws, ABS, rider behavior, fatality trends, and what the data reveals about risk across different types of motorcycles. Eric explains why some riders are more vulnerable than others, what factors contribute most to serious crashes, and how automakers are working to develop systems that can better recognize and respond to motorcycles on the road. Whether you're a rider, driver, industry professional, or simply curious about what the numbers actually say, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the research that influences safety decisions across the transportation world.

    From Iraq's Highway of Death to Harley-Davidson Financial | Braxton Hamilton | Ep. 151

    Send us Fan Mail Braxton Hamilton joins the One Gang Worldwide Podcast to share an incredible journey that took him from a difficult childhood to the United States Marine Corps, into the heart of post-war Iraq, and ultimately into a leadership role within the Harley-Davidson industry. Braxton opens up about the challenges that shaped him, the lessons learned through military service, and the life-changing decision to leave the comfort of home to help rebuild Iraq's economy during one of the most volatile periods in modern history. Working alongside local business owners, community leaders, and everyday citizens determined to rebuild their lives, those experiences would later inspire his memoir, Highway of Death. We discuss leadership, resilience, faith, purpose, and the power of human connection in places where hope often seemed impossible. Braxton also shares how those experiences continue to influence his work supporting Harley-Davidson dealers and helping businesses create stronger cultures, better customer experiences, and lasting relationships. This is a story about overcoming adversity, embracing uncertainty, and discovering that some of life's greatest opportunities can be found on the roads we never expected to travel.

    Betting on Himself: The Dirtbag Brands Story | Josh Salazar | Ep.150

    Send us Fan Mail Josh Salazar joins the One Gang Worldwide Podcast for an honest conversation about risk, resilience, and what it really takes to build something from nothing. After spending nearly two decades in the powersports industry, Josh built a reputation working with companies like MSA Wheels and MTA, learning the business from the ground up through sales, distribution, dealer relationships, product development, and countless miles on the road. Then, in 2020, everything changed. When MTA unexpectedly shut its doors, Josh found himself standing at a crossroads. With uncertainty everywhere, the economy in turmoil, and the world shutting down during COVID, he made the decision many people only talk about, he bet on himself. That decision became Dirtbag Brands. In this episode, Josh takes us through the highs and lows of launching a company during one of the most unpredictable periods in modern history. He shares the lessons learned from years in the industry, the challenges of building a brand from scratch, what dealers truly need from their aftermarket partners, and why relationships still matter more than ever in powersports. This is more than a conversation about products and business. It's a story about taking a leap of faith, navigating adversity, and chasing a vision when there are no guarantees. Whether you're a rider, dealer, entrepreneur, or someone pursuing a dream of your own, this is an episode packed with insight, perspective, and real-world lessons from the road.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of One Gang Worldwide, we sit down with Christofer Ratcliffe, founder of Langen Motorcycles and one of the minds behind some of the most radical motorcycles being built today. What started with rebuilding motorcycles as a kid eventually turned into a career that helped shape modern British motorcycle engineering. Chris takes us through his journey from studying automotive engineering and working at TVR to helping modernize CCM Motorcycles using 3D CAD technology, leading development of the lightweight BMW-powered GP450 Adventure bike, and helping create the now-iconic CCM Spitfire. But this episode goes far deeper than motorcycles. Chris shares unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories involving military and United Nations motorcycle contracts, including rugged Honda-based machines designed for Afghan forces operating in some of the harshest environments on earth. We also dive into the birth of Langen Motorcycles, including the terrifying decision to sell his own house to fund the company, navigating the chaos of COVID, leveraging EV innovation grants to survive, and taking on the nearly impossible challenge of building a modern fuel-injected 250cc two-stroke V-twin motorcycle in an era dominated by regulations and corporate conformity. From lightweight engineering philosophy and bespoke manufacturing to the insane vision behind the 185 horsepower / 185 kilogram Langen Lightspeed, this conversation is a raw look into what it really takes to build motorcycles without compromise. This is a must-listen episode for motorcycle enthusiasts, engineers, builders, entrepreneurs, and anyone obsessed with performance, innovation, and chasing impossible ideas.
