Meet the Sprocketz Experts
John
I have been involved with motorcycles for the majority of my life. I started riding motocross at fifteen years old, and began racing shortly after. I raced the local circuit for many years and currently I am introducing my sons to motocross. Working at Sprocketz gives me the opportunity to help riders with quality and safe gear selections along with riding tips and techniques. On the weekends you can find me at the races or practicing with friends and family.

Top 5 Gear Picks: Shoei VFX-Evo, Alpinestars Tech 10 Boots, Atlas Neck Brace, Renthal, Dunlop
Brian
I’ve been riding for over 20 years and working in the powersports industry since 2005. I enjoy both street and dirt riding and started racing off-road/MX back in 2006. My highly competitive nature and lack of technical riding ability has allowed me to personally crash test a plethora of motorcycle gear. Four years of my career were spent as a helmet and apparel specialist at Tucker Distributing working directly with companies like Arai, 100%, Answer racing, Cardo and more.
Current Ride: 2023.5 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition
Top Gear Picks: Cardo Packtalk Edge, Arai Corsair-X, Fox Dirtpaw Gloves, 100% Armega Goggles, Maxima SC1, Quad Lock phone mounts
Caleb
Riding motorcycles is core to who I am. I’ve been riding dirt bikes since before I can remember and you better believe I’ve been on the street from the moment I could get my license. For the past 2 years I’ve been riding in all conditions, everyday. From frosty 8 degree January mornings to scorching 105 degree Richmond Augusts, I stay out there. At Sprocketz I love helping people find the gear they need to make their riding as enjoyable as possible, no matter the conditions.
Current Ride: 2022 Africa Twin
Top Gear Picks: Arai Contour-X, Icon Mesh AF, Alpinestars J-Cult, Quad Lock Vibration Damper, Stop and Go Tire Pocket Air Compressor
Grayson "Gray"
I grew up watching my dad work on motorcycles and mopeds, and finally got into riding few years ago. I started working in the motorcycle industry in 2019 as a service writer, then switched over to apparel here at Sprocketz in 2021, and now handle most of the online orders and maintain the website.
Current Ride: no bike as of yet but plan on getting a Triumph Bonneville in the future
