Description
Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger didn’t set out to build a motorcycle company. They just wanted to build one great bike.
On Boardroom Talks, ARCH Motorcycle co-founders Keanu and Hollinger sit down with Rich Kleiman to tell the story behind their unlikely partnership, from their first meeting at Gard’s custom motorcycle shop in 2005 to building ARCH into a distinctive motorcycle brand and expanding into racing.
The two founders discuss the five-year process of creating Keanu’s custom Harley-Davidson, the vision that led to ARCH Motorcycle, the engineering and design philosophy behind its bikes, and the community of entrepreneurs drawn to the brand. They also reflect on the creative collaboration, patience, and storytelling that turned a shared passion into a business.
