Great collaboration

It’s very confidence inspiring. They work well together and we enjoy their perspectives. I’ve been following Ben for years and enjoy this as much as his YT channel.

Love it!

I discovered Ben and The Dork in the Road YouTube channel last year as I was new to Adventure Motorcycling and Moto camping. I loved his approach and his regular guy commentary and immediately became a fan. Since I live in Oregon, I love checking out the places he rides and hope to try them out soon or attend one of the rallies (great hearing about your punk days. I’m an old school punk rocker X, DK, Black Flag, etc). Grace has been a fantastic addition and it’s so much fun to listen in as they shoot the bull on motorcycling. Great podcast! Keep it up.
