There are people who travel by motorcycle, and then there's Staci Wilt. Staci started her motorcycle touring life atop a Sportster—not a motorcycle widely known for a huge amount of space in which to pack one's things! While she's moved on to larger bikes, primarily a Pan-America these days, she's got a soft spot for that Sportster.
Staci's life is more than moto-camping, though. Along the way, she started a blog (Ride To Food), a podcast (The Scenic Ride) and pivoted from what she thought she was going to do with her life to what she's actually doing with her life: making a career as an in-demand photographer and content creator. Follow her on Instagram.
Quick Tip: If you've ever struggled with packing for a long motorcycle trip (or any trip, really), visit Staci's website and get a copy of her packing list. You have to trade her your email address, but she doesn't pummel you with emails and doesn't sell her list to third parties.
Because my discussion with Staci ran long, I trimmed the news segment down to the bare minimum you might expect as a loyal listener. In the news, we find out that Moto Guzzi appears to be moving closer to production with the 457cc parallel-twin Trip 500, Honda is broadening its Indian lineup with 10 new and updated two-wheelers, Lightfighter is putting its electric superbikes into the hands of experienced track riders, and Ultraviolette is reporting record quarterly sales while targeting up to 500,000 units annually by 2030.
