The Mighty Motor has been proud to team up with Stefan Wigand, creative director for Baxter of California, to highlight the California Lifestyle.

The creative brief was simple enough: tell the story of a quintessential west coast man. To do this, we enlisted Riley Harper, a longtime friend of The Mighty Motor and someone who embodies the West Coast ethos of fast cars, motorcycles, and the open road.

Riley is a second-generation stuntman living the California dream. Born and raised amidst beautiful topography of California, he has the California lifestyle in his DNA. If he isn’t jumping motorcycles as the double of your favorite superhero or rallying a muscle car with someone on the hood, he is on his hand built 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R enjoying the perfectly paved, bending roads of the Santa Monica Mountains or scoring perfect waves at Malibu on his single fin –  “training for the job,”  as Riley describes it.

Riley lives his life all over the world but when it comes time to relax, he says, the best vacation in the world is just being home in California.
