Highside/Lowside podcast: Coming back from disability to ride again

Jul 23, 2025

Most of us ride motorcycles primarily because of the fun and joy it brings to our lives, and naturally we focus on that. But the reality is that things can go wrong. Sometimes, life-changingly wrong. Then what?

In this episode of the Highside/Lowside motorcycle podcast, Spurgeon and Zack talk to three riders who suffered crashes that changed them permanently, but despite that they went on to overcome obstacles and ride again. The hosts start by talking to Joe Forde, who took what he learned from his personal journey back to motorcycling and founded the Ride Again Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to helping people do just that: ride again. We previously wrote here at Common Tread about Forde and a few other riders who came back from serious injuries to return to riding, but this podcast episode talks to other riders who have been helped by the Ride Again Foundation.
