I sit down with the Nevada Stray Cat—a lifelong rider whose journey has taken him from pillion passenger at age six to solo adventures on a Can-Am Ryker across the open roads of the American West.

Ken Hollis joins me for the first episode of Miles Shared, where we talk moto-camping, national parks, and the stories that stay with you long after the ride.
