There are some caves too deep to crawl out of, some nights too dark to see past.

At 21, our friend Adam Swift woke up in rehab with no clue how he’d gotten there, and no recollection of the events leading up to it. By all accounts he shouldn’t be here today, but against all odds he has been sober for over 24 years now and has created an amazing and fulfilling life filled with incredible experiences and meaningful relationships.

The growing problem of addiction affects countless people, and Adam’s willingness to be vulnerable comes from the belief that his survival and recovery is an opportunity to share his story and inspire hope for other people who are struggling.

Exploring the natural world on a motorcycle offers countless opportunities to encounter the sublime. From the sensation of the wind on your face and the dirt beneath your tires, the ever-changing temperatures as you ride through different altitudes, the fragrances of the forests, and the sounds of the countryside.

South Africa left a mark on our souls. We came here expecting to find a harsh and formidable land on our way to a place called Hell. But instead what we found was a powerful and dynamic dreamscape, rich with life and diversity. We found Heaven.

MOTO SAFARI: SOUTH AFRICA Words by Ben Giese | Photography by John Hebert — The road to Hell is paved with silence and solitude, but there is no pavement to be found here: just a wild and treacherous dirt path that cuts through the unforgiving Swartberg mountains, winding and twisting like a cobra...

Nerves, pain and sorrow overcome from the recent unforeseen passing of a father bonded by life on two wheels.
