The People Behind the Ride

"Every time I throw a leg over, I make it a point to practice something. Learning never stops."

Michael Franklin — known on the road as Jet — is one of the founding forces behind REV N RIDE. What really sets Jet apart is his relentless commitment to the craft of riding. He's logged countless miles solo and in groups of all sizes, and along the way he's stacked up an impressive training resume: Basic Rider Course, Slow Riding, Skilled Rider, two Balance Control courses, the Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic in Kentucky, and two sessions at the Yamaha Champions Riding School in South Carolina — including high-speed track training. Every time he throws a leg over, he's practicing something. Braking, cornering, slow-speed control — always getting smoother, always getting safer. Living proof that wind therapy doesn't just clear your head, it keeps you young. Jet helped build REV N RIDE because he believes learning never stops, and neither should the ride.

"The bike is where I started saying yes to myself. That's everything."

Donna — known on the road as Sass — might not remember your name the second time she meets you, and she's definitely not texting to check in... but get her on two wheels and she'll leave you speechless. Her passion for riding is flat-out unmatched. Over the years she's grown into one of the best female riders in the group — fearless enough to push the pace, calculated enough to do it smart. For Donna, motorcycles aren't just a hobby. They're the symbol of the moment she started saying yes to herself — yes to the road, yes to the freedom, yes to the life she wanted. She helped build REV N RIDE because she knows what it feels like when the ride changes everything.
