Pipe Dreams Podcast is pleased to release episode 36 featuring the founders of ARCH Motorcycle, Gard Hollinger and Keanu Reeves.

What started as a simple referral to modify a motorcycle turned into a six-year collaboration and ultimately the creation of ARCH Motorcycle. Gard shares how building bikes from childhood shaped his approach to craftsmanship and attention to detail, while Keanu reflects on discovering riding at 22 and how it quickly became a lifelong passion.

The conversation traces the evolution of ARCH from custom builds to developing motorcycles entirely from the ground up, and eventually committing to compete in MotoAmerica Super Hooligans this past season. They speak candidly about entering professional racing for the first time, building a production motorcycle and race bike simultaneously, and what year one truly looked like behind the scenes which will be featured in an upcoming docu-series.

They discuss the mistakes that come with being new, the moments that validated the decision to race, and why adding a second rider for year two gives them confidence moving forward. The episode closes with a look at what competition is teaching them and how racing is already shaping the future direction of ARCH Motorcycle.
