Looking for motorcycle rides in your area? You’re in the right place. RideWolf is the free iOS app that shows you group motorcycle rides happening close to you — right now, this weekend, and beyond.
Most riders want to ride with others but don’t know where to find the group.
The rides are out there — they’re just scattered across group chats, Facebook pages, and word of mouth.
RideWolf pulls them all into one place so you can see exactly what’s happening near you.
Open the map, see what’s riding near you, and join in.
No cold calls, no showing up somewhere hoping someone’s there.
Just real riders, real routes, and an open invitation to roll.
Not every ride needs to be fast.
RideWolf lets you find scenic motorcycle rides near you — the kind where someone local actually knows the roads.
Canyon runs, coastal highways, backroad loops.
The routes that don’t show up on GoogleMaps because they’re passed down rider to rider.
Whether you’re chasing twisties or just want a relaxed Sunday cruise with good company, there’s a ride near you waiting.
Ride with friends, meet new riders, or just plan your own route. You choose, every time. RideWolf connects you with riders nearby — whether you’re brand new to group rides or a seasoned road warrior looking for fresh routes and new faces.
It doesn’t matter what bike you ride or how long you’ve been riding. If you love the open road, there’s a pack for you.

The standouts are Angeles Crest Highway, PCH through Malibu, Mulholland’s “Snake,” Mt. Baldy Road, and the Big Bear / Rim of the World loop. PCH and Palos Verdes are the easy, beginner-friendly ones; the canyons are for more experienced riders.

My Night Train runs a belt, so I’ve never lubed a chain in my life. Here’s how a motorcycle belt drive works, how it stacks up against chain and shaft, how Harley says to check belt tension, and what a belt swap really involves.
A motorcycle maintenance schedule starts in your owner’s manual. Here’s Harley’s own 2007 Softail table, mile by mile, the three things I check before every ride, and the line I draw between what I do in the garage and what goes to a certified mechanic.
Lane splitting is legal in one state and lane filtering in five more, each with its own speed and traffic rules. Here is every rule from the statutes, what the Berkeley crash study actually found, and what I learned the first time I split lanes on the 101.
Winterizing a motorcycle comes down to fuel, oil, battery, tires, a wash and a cover that breathes. I’ve never had to do it in Los Angeles, so I went to Harley’s own storage procedure and to Breezy B, who parks his Indian in Rhode Island when the salt trucks come out.
What’s the best motorcycle for a beginner? Something light and low with a 300cc to 500cc engine, like the Honda Rebel 300, Yamaha MT-03 or Kawasaki Ninja 500. Here are the real specs, plus what I learned buying a used Harley as my first bike, including the day the rear caliper fell off.
How often should you change motorcycle oil? Go by your owner’s manual first. On my 2007 Night Train that’s engine oil every 5,000 miles, primary every 10,000 and transmission every 20,000, and sooner for short rides, hard riding, dust or cold. Here’s the factory schedule and my first 3-hole change.
