MEET Monkey Boy Steve
My passion for motorcycles started in rural Indiana on an old Honda CT70, buzzing down gravel roads and through cornfields. In college, I traded dirt for pavement, riding nine different sport bikes across countless miles of backroads. Life eventually parked the bikes, but in 2022, a friend and I picked up matching Honda Monkeys — and we were kids again.
That year, we hit the Wailin' Wayne Weekend, where someone dubbed us the "Monkey Boys," and the name stuck. I'll be returning for my third year in fall 2025.
Since then, I've connected with riders like Chad Warner, Kane Wagner, Brad McFadden, and Matt McCourt. I've ridden Wayne National Forest, the Red River Scramble, Appalachian ADV Fool's Ride, and the Smoky Mountain Small Bore Rally. In 2024, I added a KTM 390 Adventure and trained at an Appalachian ADV clinic with Kane Wagner.

Meet Monkey Boy Sean
I've been on motorcycles since I was five, starting with a 1970s AMF Harley Aermacchi X-90 2-stroke. After a wreck knocked out my baby teeth, my dad rebuilt me a Honda Mini Trails 50cc, and I never looked back.
I bought my first street bike in 2001 — a 1987 Yamaha Virago — but a serious accident in 2006 crushed my foot and sidelined me for 11 years. Then a friend asked me to ride his bike down the road. 100 yards in, I was hooked again. Two weeks later, I bought a 2016 Vulcan S, put 17,000 miles on it in one year, and traded up to a 2018 Harley Heritage Softail.
Today, my garage holds a 2022 Honda Monkey, a 2022 Harley Heritage, a 2024 KLX 300, and a 2024 Tenere 700.
In 2023, I attended Wailin' Wayne Weekend, which reignited my passion for off-road riding and inspired me to share those adventures with others.
