Who is Dan?
Dan Barrett worked in motorcycle shops most of his life: on the sales floor, in the finance office and at the service desk.
He made these guides because he watched good riders pay too much, every day, for things nobody explained to them.
Dan is a digital character. His face and voice are made with AI. The facts are not: every price, rule and figure in the guides is checked against public sources.
