Founder and host Dave Hatch launched Motorcycle Experience with a passion to bring the motorcycle community together. An avid rider and veteran road racer, Dave believed that the spirit of the open road is something truly special – a mix of freedom, adventure, and friendship that every rider understands. Each week, he set out to capture that spirit on camera, from the purr of a finely-tuned engine to the smiles at a roadside diner where riders gather. Over the years, Motorcycle Experience has remained true to its roots: approachable, down-to-earth, and proudly Canadian. We showcase the best of motorcycling culture without ego or gimmicks – just genuine rides, real stories, and useful knowledge to enrich your own riding experience. Today, our mission continues strong.

We aim to:

Inform and Empower Riders: We provide reliable reviews, how-tos, and safety tips so you can ride with knowledge and confidence.

Inspire Adventures: Through breathtaking travel segments and personal stories, we hope to spark ideas for your next ride – whether it’s a cross-country tour or a Sunday spin to a new cafe.

Build Community: We celebrate the camaraderie among riders. Our content brings together newcomers and lifelong riders alike, fostering respect, inclusivity, and a shared love for the open road.

The Team Behind The Show

At the heart of Motorcycle Experience is a team of passionate enthusiasts who live and breathe motorcycles. Dave Hatch, our host, is the friendly face guiding you through each episode – a rider with decades of experience and an infectious enthusiasm for all things on two wheels. Dave is often joined by co-hosts and guest experts who add their own flavor to the mix:

Emily Roberts, co-host and fellow rider, brings a fresh perspective and plenty of enthusiasm, engaging with guests and viewers alike.

Norm Wells of BMW Motorrad, Dave’s long-time riding partner, leads our Ultimate Ride adventures, sharing his touring expertise and camaraderie on those epic road trips.

Jenn Martin, professional riding instructor, heads up our safety and skills segments (like the ever-popular “Shifting Gears”), delivering tips with a friendly, encouraging style.

Guest Contributors: We frequently welcome seasoned riders – from former road racers and adventure riders to mechanics and gear specialists – who share their knowledge and personal stories. Contributors like Lawrence Hacking (off-road legend) or Colin Fraser (moto-journalist) enrich our episodes with diverse insights.

Behind the cameras, our production crew (WhistleStop Productions) works hard to capture the essence of each ride in stunning detail, so you feel like you’re right there with us leaning into every turn. We may have started small, but today Motorcycle Experience is a full-fledged celebration of motorcycling, made possible by a dedicated team and the support of industry partners and our loyal viewers.
