Tyler Goss: TEAM Arizona Rider of the Month March 2014!
Last Updated: November 29th, 2020
When a six foot five giant of a man walked in to take a Basic RiderCourse in July 2012, RiderCoaches took notice.
When that same person rides in and parks his motorcycle before taking an Advanced Riding Techniques course and both levels of Total Control training on a 600cc sport bike, it becomes difficult not to find out what this guy is about. We at TEAM Arizona found it hard to ignore the ambition and motivation exhibited by this individual. To say that Tyler is unique would limit the depth and breadth of Tyler’s accomplishments. A thrill seeker. A perfectionist. A man who understands the bigger picture. For these reasons and more, Tyler finds himself as TEAM Arizona’s Rider of the Month for March 2014!
So what makes this guy tick? In his own words:
My parents were never really big into the idea of me on a motorcycle; even me racing at this point has not helped matters. Having met some riders, combined with a longstanding interest in riding, I purchased my R6. Having had some car racing experience, and backed by my competitive nature, I did a trackday with a loaner track bike at the Arizona Motorsports Park. After that, I was hooked. I proceeded at 120% to giving it everything I had, including what money I had (cry), to building a track bike and building my riding experiences.
It has been nothing but an incredible experience so far and I cannot wait to see what the future brings. I intend on continuing with the racing as long as funds hold out to get my Pro racing license and, at least once, make the grid in a pro AMA event.
Wow. Lofty goals for sure, but completely believable when talking with Tyler. He has the drive to make this happen. Doubt doesn’t even enter the frame.
What advice would he pass along to those interested in riding?
Spend the time and money for classes, gear and pick at the expertise of veteran riders. This hobby is too dangerous and costly to not take the time to learn the right way the first time and learn from other peoples mistakes.
Here, here, Tyler, we couldn’t agree more. We at TEAM Arizona look forward to the day when you grid up for an AMA road race!
