The Motorcycle Industry Council’s Ride.With.Us. program’s mission is to inspire people to ride; help minimize the barriers to entry, create an encouraging and welcoming community resulting in more riders riding more.

This latest Instagram promotion wrapped up May 26, so it is still a bit early to tabulate the traffic, but MIC VP of Ridership Cinnamon Kernes has been pleased with the program. “But the more tangible takeaway is that use of our Dealer Search Tool at the Ride.With.Us. portal is blowing up. Our previous strategy was to show motorcycling to a broad audience; our new strategy is focusing more on going after people who have shown an interest, but are not currently motorcyclists… and it is working.”
