    Oliver Jones. The Cut Rate at AIMExpo 2025

    Oliver Jones joins me at AIMExpo 2025. You know him as The Cut Rate. He grew up in Baltimore and later moved to Long Beach. His path started in graphic design and fashion before motorcycles took over. Time in Japan pushed him toward custom building after seeing how common custom bikes were on the street. Oliver builds bikes to ride. Not for display. He works with metal, breaks things down, and rebuilds with intention. His design background shapes his style and gives his work a look you recognize fast. Many of his bikes have been taken on long cross-country trips. He earned major respect in the community with multiple Born Free wins. He also worked with Harley-Davidson on custom projects that helped inspire later production ideas. He treats every build as a learning process. His drive comes from passion and curiosity. You find his work on Instagram and YouTube under The Cut Rate. He talks about staying true to your own vision and ignoring trends. His presence at AIMExpo shows how connected he is with the industry and how he keeps creating new opportunities.

    This episode of the Bad Beard Podcast features Sam Schneider speaking with Adam VanderVeen, Marketing Director for Triumph Motorcycles North America. VanderVeen shares his path into motorcycling and his work shaping Triumph’s presence across the United States. He grew up in Milwaukee and built a career through several creative and industry roles.

His career also included managing Milwaukee’s entertainment district and running a lifestyle magazine before returning to the motorcycle world. VanderVeen explained how he started riding later in life and how that experience shaped his approach to marketing and connection with riders. He described Triumph’s current momentum, noting strong growth for 2024. The launch of Triumph’s first dirt bike and the success of the new 400cc road bikes have broadened the brand’s reach for new and returning riders.

Each one built around Triumph’s goal of producing motorcycles that riders enjoy and feel comfortable on. Their “For the Ride” identity guides this approach. At AIMExpo 2025, Triumph focuses on connecting with prospective dealers across North America. VanderVeen also meets with journalists, industry partners, and creators. He highlighted Triumph’s broader involvement in motorcycling culture, including their ownership of OSET Electric Trials Bikes and their sponsorship of the Vana Motorcycle Film Festival, where filmmakers showcase stories centered on riding.
