Dustin started riding motorcycles at the tender age of 28. That late start didn't dampen his enthusiasm. If anything, it only increased it. Like the basic-est of bikers, Dustin's first set of wheels was a Harley-Davidson Sportster. He soon developed an interest in supermotos and MotoGP, pulling him in various directions in the moto world. Around the same time, Dustin started writing as a freelance contributor for RideApart, Rider Magazine, Inside EVs, and Electric Cycle Rider. He joined the Common Tread team in 2023. Always curious and rarely dispirited, Dustin enjoys riding and writing about various types of motorcycles, from sport bikes to minibikes, and everything in between.
