Meet the Brains Behind the Show:
Tyler and Amity Marr
Tyler and Amity are just a Midwest couple who not only fell in love with each other but also with the excitement and adventure of a two-wheeled machine. Tyler’s passion started at a young age tinkering on cars and motorcycles. Amity’s came much later after going to many motorcycle events with Tyler. Tyler realized he wanted to immerse himself in the industry after a soul-searching Ride 1k in a Day motorcycle trip. Amity realized it shortly thereafter when they were on a motorcycle trip near Lake Tahoe, and Tyler was receiving many compliments on original parts on his bike. Both bring many years of machining, fabrication, and business experience to the table. Tyler has spent his whole life working with his hands in garages and homes. Amity has spent her career in sales, finance, and business consulting, and has had her fair share of time spent with Tyler wrenching in the garage.
Timmy Marr
Timmy is, well, Timmy. He quickly became acquainted with motorcycles at the age of 17 when he wanted to ride a motorcycle to Sturgis with his brother Tyler. Tyler told him to ride his motorcycle, a Honda CM400, every day for well over 6 months before that trip, and then he would feel confident riding with him. Timmy rode that motorcycle every day and ended up riding to Sturgis that year for the first time. The following year, Timmy graduated from high school, and Tyler convinced their dad to buy Timmy a box of Sportster parts for graduation. After graduation, Timmy and Tyler spent the summer getting that Sportster ready for Timmy to ride to Sturgis that year—which he did. Since then, Timmy has spent his time traveling to motorcycle events, welding and building various motorcycles. Most know him for the very eccentric things he has created on his motorcycles over the years.
