In this interview, we sit down with author and motorcycle enthusiast Ted Kettler, who recently penned the book The Road Most Traveled. Ted is a lifelong rider, host of the long-running "Motorcycle Men" podcast, and someone whoโ€™s no stranger to epic journeys on two wheels. His latest adventure takes readers along for his ride from New Jersey to the Florida Keys, offering a candid and humorous look at the highs, lows, and life lessons learned while riding one of Americaโ€™s busiest highways on a 2003 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic.

In our chat, Ted talks about what inspired the trip, what it took to prepare the bike, the surprises and challenges along the route, and why riding a motorcycle changes everything about the travel experience. He also shares tips for new riders thinking about their own long-distance adventures, insight into the writing process, and even a preview of his upcoming book about riding to the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Whether youโ€™re an avid rider itching for some inspiration or someone with a love for the open road, this conversation is full of relatable stories, valuable advice, and the spirit of motorcycling.

After the interview we talk about the soft launch of the 2027 European ADV Cannonball Rally.
