Harvey Rides Bikes

Many of you may know Harvey from his instagram page where he rides around performing random acts of kindness to strangers he meets. Handing out Haribo has become his calling card but his rapid social media growth speaks more to the power of kindness and everyday human interactions than it does motorcycle content. As will many things, the bike is the vehicle to support a greater purpose. We loved catching up with the now unmasked Harvey and chatting about his journey to two wheels and a life of influence.... Although Ben and Charley were slightly upset that he didn't bring them sweets...
