A TWO-WHEELED DIARY

DAVE ON COMMUNITY, ROADS AND GOOD VIBES

For some, social media is merely an archive of curated imagery—for Dave (@Dave_Rides_CH), his channel serves as a living, breathing motorcycle diary. It is an ongoing chronicle of Swiss alpine passes, the raw character of his BMW R nineT, good music, and the unfiltered atmosphere of life on two wheels.

**BMW R nineT**

„At the end of the day, riding is about getting out there, enjoying the road, meeting good people, and having a good time. Preferably on two wheels.“

What began as a personal space to log rides has evolved into something far more meaningful: a genuine catalyst for human connection. Dave’s approach highlights the true essence of modern motorcycle culture—bridging the gap between digital interactions and real-world asphalt. For him, the ultimate reward isn't the post itself, but the shared miles on the boxer engine, unexpected friendships, and real-life meetups that follow.

IN CONVERSATION WITH Dave

RWN MOTOZINE: What was the founding idea behind your digital journey?
Dave: I see my channel as my motorcycle diary—a place where I can share my rides, my passion for bikes, good music, and everything that comes with it. But it quickly became much more than just posting pictures and videos. Through it, I’ve met a lot of passionate people I would probably never have crossed paths with otherwise.

RWN MOTOZINE: How does that digital space translate to the tarmac for you?
Dave: One of the absolute best things is eventually meeting these people in real life and going for a ride together. That’s what I want it to be: a community of real people who genuinely love motorcycles, good roads, and good vibes.

RWN MOTOZINE: When you strip everything else away, what is riding really about for you?
Dave: At the end of the day, that’s what riding is all about for me. Getting out there, enjoying the road, meeting good people, and having a great time. And preferably doing it on two wheels.

RWN MOTOZINE: Dave, thank you the time, and for keeping the raw spirit of the culture alive.
