Instead of attending college, Ari opted to pour his savings into his motorcycle’s gas tank and spent six months and 20,000 miles exploring the back roads of America. He ended up in California, where he landed a job as a test rider at Motorcyclist magazine. Over a decade-long career, Ari wrote for the magazine and helped create and host the "MC Garage" and "On Two Wheels" video series. An accomplished, self-taught mechanic, and an equally accomplished roadracer, Ari spends his days wrenching on neglected bikes, encouraging his friends to do more push-ups, and keeping his eyes on the horizon for the next great motorcycling adventure.
