to us, they're not just motorcycles.

they're therapy with handlebars.

They’re tight mountain curves and forgotten forest roads. They’re freedom, and bad decisions that turn into great stories. They’re first dates and last rides, road trips and wrong turns, late nights in the garage and early mornings chasing daylight. They're machines that demand respect, and give it back when treated right.

For whatever decision, elevation or road comes next,
we'll wrench on them like they matter,
because they do.

rides, gatherings & mountain mayhem.

Meet the crew

the smiling faces you already know

RJ Garlich

rj garlich

A lifelong adrenaline junkie, RJ has been chasing speed and chaos since he was tearing up go-karts at 8, stock cars at 16, and motorcycles at 18. Snowmobile races, hare scrambles, road courses—if it had a motor and a chance of going sideways, he was in. Age hasn’t slowed him down one bit; he still drags knees, pushes limits, and rides like there’s something to prove… when he’s not wrenching, mentoring, or serving as crew chief for the next generation of racers..

Vanessa Pernigotti

vanessa pernigotti

With a road and rally racing heritage passed down from her father, V was born with the adrenaline bug and never tried to shake it. Riding since she was 15, she chased that drive into road racing, backed by a lifetime of competition that’s included mountain and road cycling, nearly 30 years of snowboarding, and just about every sport she could throw herself into (some more successfully than others). She keeps motorcycles at the center of it all—and now she’s pushing things further, aiming to break land speed records on a flat track bike (wink).

Tommy Fletcher

tommy fletcher

For 45 years, Tommy has been chasing life on two wheels, with decades spent racing motocross, hare scrambles, enduros, and vintage MX at both regional and national levels. He’s worked in motorcycle shops representing Japanese and European brands, restored multiple vintage motocross bikes, and built a lifetime of experience that runs far deeper than the usual shop talk. With a studio art degree, state teaching certification, and local roots going back to 2002, Tommy adds another layer of knowledge and character to the MotoWorks crew.

Shawn Sundheim

Shawn Sundheim

Shawn has spent most of his life proving that two wheels are better than four. Bicycles, motocross, road racing, gravel, dirt, asphalt, or trails, his answer is generally, “Yes, please.” Over a 30-year career, he worked at the factory level with Cannondale Bicycles, Ducati North America, and Triumph North America, collecting the kind of experience that only comes from decades inside the industry. His broad knowledge, quick wit, and incurable enthusiasm for anything with two wheels make him a perfect fit for the MotoWorks crew.
