Forever grateful for all the ones I met in South Carolina #

The reality of a 50-State Tour is that some expenses are planned, and some catch you completely off guard.

I knew I was going to need two new tires. That’s just part of putting thousands of miles on the road. What I wasn’t expecting was having to buy two new batteries on top of everything else.

Every day seems to bring a new challenge, but that’s also what makes this journey so incredible. The support, encouragement, and kindness I’ve received from all of you has helped keep me moving when things don’t go according to plan.

If you’ve been enjoying the adventure and would like to help keep the tour rolling, any support toward fuel, maintenance, and unexpected repairs is greatly appreciated. Whether it’s a share, a comment, or a contribution, it all helps more than you know.

We’re only a few states into this journey, and there’s still a long road ahead. Let’s see how far we can take this together.

What started as a stop for a bike meet turned into an incredible experience. Meeting fellow riders, checking out amazing motorcycles, sharing stories, and connecting with people who share the same passion for two wheels is what this journey is all about. It’s moments like these that remind me why I started this 50-state tour in the first place. The motorcycles were awesome, but the people made the experience unforgettable.

It’s never easy saying goodbye, especially after the incredible people we’ve met and memories we’ve made along the way. Every stop on this journey has reminded me just how amazing the motorcycle community truly is.

A huge thank you to everyone who welcomed us, shared their stories, worked on the Grim Reaper, and supported this crazy dream. We may be leaving, but the friendships and memories will stay with us forever.

Now it’s time to hit the road and make our way to North Carolina. Another state, more adventures, and another chapter in the Built By America tour.

North Carolina… we’re on our way! 🤘🏍️

Hard work always pays off, and watching what Mike is doing at Bullet Motorcycle Service is truly inspiring. He’s not just teaching these young men how to work on motorcycles—he’s teaching them patience, discipline, responsibility, and the value of doing things the right way.

The knowledge, guidance, and time he’s investing into their lives will stay with them long after the tools are put away for the day. Years from now, they may not remember every repair they made, but they’ll never forget the man who believed in them and took the time to teach them.

In a world that needs more mentors, Mike is leading by example. Respect to him and these young men for putting in the work every single day.

The young men over at Bullet Motorcycle Service have been hard at work, and the bike is finally all back together! It’s been awesome watching the dedication, patience, and craftsmanship that went into putting this machine back where it belongs.

Now comes the moment of truth as we get one step closer to hearing this bad boy come to life. Huge shoutout to Mike, Elijah, Preston, and the entire team for their efforts. These guys are proving that hard work and passion for motorcycles are alive and well.

Elijah talked about themotorcycle he hopes to own one day and the goals he’s working toward to make it happen. You can see the excitement in his eyes when he talks about bikes and the future.

Preston shared something that every mechanic and bike builder can relate to working on motorcycles isn’t always easy. Sometimes a simple repair turns into hours of troubleshooting, and what looks like a quick fix can become a real challenge. That’s just part of the journey when you’re passionate about motorcycles.

It’s refreshing to see young people getting involved in the industry, learning valuable skills, and understanding that success comes from hard work, patience, and determination.

The future of motorcycling is in good hands with young men like these.
