We had the good fortune of connecting with Erica Hart and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erica, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
The community, comraidre. The motorcycles community is very tight knit, whether you know one another or not. You could be complete strangers but yet it’s like we are all family! We help each other out, we’re there for each other in everyway. Advice, break downs, just needing someone to talk to, dinners, gatherings it’s litterlly one big family we all have each other’s backs. I was fortunate enough to brand myself and make a business out of something I’m so passionate about with a wonderful tight knit family vibe community.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
First off it wasn’t easy, however typically anything “worth it” dosnt come easy. It’s been a learning experience and as time has grown I’ve grown into the space. Something that really helped me was the push to just get started, things don’t meed to be perfect to start you will learn as you go and you will get better at it as you do it. Biggest mistake was waiting! Are their things i widh I knew before I started well of course, or In the beginning absolutely but I would be were I am today if I would have waited! Just get started of course your going to learn as you go! Get better and knowledge for next time should you want to do more later. The things I’ve now gotten to do and experiences I gotten to have are wild, and beyond what my wildest dreams would have been! Glad I listened and didn’t wait to start my journey!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well what area? My home town? Or the places I like to frequent? A moto friend/ friend of my brand or in general friend that’s the big question! Regular friend? And my home state? Which is michigan, the west side of the state is absolutely beautiful lake michigan, is like a fresh water ocean type views, sand dunes, quaint little towns, more laid back beaches, boating, jet skiing kinda life, scenic nature. You can do so much over there, there’s race tracks, dune rides jeep rentals, horse rides, light houses. It would be a fun filled out doors activities. kinda thing! First we would get pizza from pizza popalis which the best Chicago style pizza area! Better than what’s found in Chicago! Then we would head out to the west side, and enjoy the sleeping bear dunes, some jeep rentals at the silver lake sand dunes. That alone will keep you busy for a few days on its own! Motorcycle friends well I would take them on a trip to the Appalachian mountains to ride some of the best roads in the country. I’m a very outdoors kinda person

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are so many! From people that have given me advice/mentors, the fans in general none of it would be possible without them, to the sponsors!! Jake the garden snake, doodle on a motorcycle, do it with Dan have welcomed me with ipen arms and given me valuable insites to help me grow, sponsors like aim expo, socal supermoto, twisted roads, icon motosports have all helped me grow as well and bring my brand to light and offered me experiences that have helped propel me forward.
