About Me
About Me — Addison, Founder of American Race Bike Supply
I’ve loved motorcycles for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we couldn’t afford one, but the dream never went away. After my first deployment, I finally had enough saved to buy my first bike — a 2013 R6. That moment changed everything.
My first time on track was at Eagles Canyon Raceway, riding with Sport Rider Coaching on my S1000R. It was humbling in the best way. I’m the type who loves a challenge, and the track gave me exactly that. From that day on, I was hooked. Riding and racing became the ultimate way to clear my head, push myself, and chase that perfect mix of adrenaline and focus. When you grid up, everything else disappears. It’s just you, the bike, and the drive to be better than you were last time.
In the paddock, I’m at home. It’s where I’m the most social, the most comfortable, and the most myself. The paddock is like a giant family — everyone helping each other improve, talking trash, sharing tools, and pushing each other to get faster. That sense of community is something I value deeply.
My mechanical background is self‑taught. In the military, my job was building bombs, not engines, but the discipline I learned there shaped everything I do now. I learned to take criticism, own my mistakes, stick to my commitments, and hold myself to a standard. Those values carried straight into racing and into this business.
I started American Race Bike Supply because I saw a gap in the race scene. Riders needed a place where they could find everything required to convert a bike, rebuild after a crash, or prep for a season — all in one spot. Other companies offer that, but something was missing. Too often, I felt like just another transaction. No real feedback. No sense that anyone cared about the experience.
I want to change that.
American RBS is built on a simple mission:
Prioritize American parts for American racers.
I’ve traveled the world, and I love this country — but I also believe we can do better. Supporting American‑made manufacturers, especially the small, lesser‑known ones producing real quality, is one way to strengthen our communities and bring pride back into what we build and what we ride. I want to help those companies grow alongside mine, not get swallowed up or forgotten.
Long term, I want American RBS to be in the MotoAmerica paddock with our own team, traveling to track days across the country, and building a tight‑knit community of racers who care about each other and care about this country. I want riders to walk away from every interaction feeling like we genuinely cared, like we were honest, like the products delivered, and like they’d recommend us without hesitation.
This isn’t just a business to me. It’s a mission, a community, and a way to give back to the sport that’s given me so much.
