We’re lucky to have our friends at Gearhead Junction just about an hour away. They’re a rider-owned dealership and a solid resource for the ADV, touring, and dirt crowd — whether you’re shopping for a new or used bike, gear, or just good advice from people who actually ride.
A lot of the bikes you’ll see around our rallies and local routes came through their shop, and they’ve been great partners in helping grow the riding community in this region.
