Ken Condon on the Deep End of Motorcycling

Ken Condon describes himself as a commuter, tourer, an off-road rider, a track-day instructor, road racer, an ice rider, a drag racer, and “plain old street rider.” Truth is, as wide-ranging as that description may sound, it barely scratches the surface of the many things Condon has done not just on a motorcycle but, more importantly, for his fellow motorcyclists.

Ken is the author of two books, “Riding in the Zone” and “Motorcycling the Right Way.” The latter is a compilation of the “Proficient Motorcycling” columns published in Motorcycle Consumer News. “I wrote that column for 14 years—2,800 words, plus photos, every month,” he tells “Driven to Ride” host Mark Long. Condon also penned “Street Strategies” for the same title.

That’s to say Condon has devoted most of his life to not only becoming a better rider himself but to helping others become better riders. “‘The well is very deep’ is what I tell my students,” he says. “You can choose to swim on the surface and tread water, or you can dive deep and get down there and see what it’s all about. And there’s an awful lot there. It just goes, and goes, and goes.”
