Rider & owner, William C (aka, Hugh), wrote in to tell us about his experience renting his bike on Twisted Road — and along the way, we learn about some great roads near him in Glacier National Park.

I first found out about Twisted Road in the summer 2020. I was riding the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route with my brother-in-law.

We stopped at the Washington Pass Overlook on Rt. 20 in the North Cascades and a guy pulled up on a bike he had rented. We got to chatting, as motorcyclists are wont to do, and he told me he was out visiting from Brooklyn and had rented the bike. I was intrigued and when I got back to Montana from that trip, I immediately looked up Twisted Road and decided to list my Road Glide.

I live about 30 minutes from Glacier National Park and one of the most stunning roads, Going to the Sun Road, in the world. So far, I have had one rental to a young couple on their honeymoon, and it was a treat to be able to provide them with a once in a lifetime experience of riding through some of the best scenery anywhere.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was ten years old. My first bike was on old 70’s Yamaha enduro that would only start about half the time. My first new bike was a Kawasaki KX80 that I would ride nearly everyday after school. Since then, I’ve owned and ridden a number of bikes, a Kawasaki KDX250, Honda Shadow, Honda V65 Magna, Harley Softail Springer, Harley Road Glide, KTM 500EXC. I’m really into long distance touring and have ridden all around the country a number of times. 

Over the last couple of years I’ve been getting more into dual sport riding and adventure touring. Last year I rode the length of the Baja peninsula on my KTM, riding mostly dirt and moto camping along the way.

My biggest trip so far was a 10,000 mile trip around the U.S. touring as many national parks as I could along the way. I hit Rocky Mountain National Park, Yosemite, Olympic, North Cascades, Glacier, Yellowstone, Teton, Badlands, and many other state parks as well.

I love the concept of Twisted Road and have been pitching it to all my riding buddies. Everyone is skeptical at first and much like it says on the website, everyone’s first question is always about Twisted Road's Insurance. I’ll keep promoting it and I can’t wait to get out and rent some other bikes.
