Welcome to the Motorcycles Are Drugs podcast, a show where we speak with artists and engineers, connoisseurs and problem-solvers, from the moto world and beyond. We’re a father/son team that has collaborated for years through storytelling and imagery, often combining our creativity with the adventure and community we’ve found on two-wheeled machines. Thank you so much for spending time with us!

Fictional Absaroka County Sheriff Walt Longmire hates motorcycles as much as Indiana Jones hates snakes, but the New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson loves bikes as much as he loves his horses and Wyoming ranch.

With his 19th novel ‘The Longmire Defense’ set for early September 2023 publication, we spoke with the 62-year-old West Virginia native about his motivation and discipline for writing, how he spent several promotional tours visiting bookstores on his BMW motorcycle, and that time many decades ago when he nearly lost an eye during a motocross race.

You might know Zahn McClarnon from his iconic roles in Longmire, Fargo, Westworld, Reservation Dogs or Dark Winds. After meeting him in the Buffalo Chip at the 2018 Sturgis Bike Rally, we were pleased when he agreed to be our guest. He had one condition: motorcycle talk first, Hollywood second. 

It was a joy talking to a fellow 1966 baby who spent his formative years in the Midwest. You’ll dig our conversation about his motorcycle origin story, all the places he’s ridden, which bikes he’s owned, and which bike he’s eyeballing these days. He also drops a spoiler about Dark Winds: Season 2!
