You’ve heard us reference Mimi and Moto a few times since last year. If you’re an AMA member you’ve probably seen their ad in the monthly magazine. You might have seen the books at a racetrack at select MotoAmerica<\/a> events. If you were at AIM Expo in Ohio last year, you might have even seen the authors in person – winning the MIC’s Gas Tank competition!
Nancy Gerloff and Mark Augustyn joined us in episode 205 to talk all about the journey and what’s new for Mimi and Moto the motorcycle monkeys.

Mark and Nancy’s journey began when they were inspired by their daughter to write an educational book about motorcycles. Since then they have launched another book, and during our interview it was noted that a third might just be on the way.
As if taking on the task of writing a kids book or two doesn’t sound daunting enough, that’s just where the story begins! Last year they entered the Motorcycle Industry Council’s Gas Tank program, and they were generous enough to walk us through the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the major take-aways from our conversation was getting children involved in motorcycling. The books don’t just entail recruiting future riders, instead they offer a fun and engaging way to make children aware of motorcycles (hopefully leading to more aware future drivers). The latest book focuses just as much on family and community as it does riding. It’s really all about what makes life on two wheels so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
