Our Story
It all started around Christmas with four friends, a big idea, and a simple belief: we can do this.
What began as a conversation about creating something meaningful for the motorcycle community quickly turned into a dream we couldn’t ignore. We’d been riding most of our lives, surrounded by people who shared the same passion, stories, and sense of freedom that motorcycles bring. We knew there was room for a magazine that truly reflected that culture—authentic, inclusive, and built by riders, for riders.
The early days weren’t perfect. We learned as we went, made our share of mistakes, and often figured things out by the seat of our pants. But through grit, friendship, and a whole lot of determination, that casual conversation grew into something real.
After more than 20 years in the industry, we officially launched No Coast Magazine in 2018. Since then, we’ve created seven years of issues filled with unforgettable stories, incredible people, and memories that will last a lifetime. What started with four friends has grown into a dedicated five-member team.
In 2026, No Coast Magazine entered an exciting new chapter. We transitioned to a fully digital publication and became a nonprofit organization, allowing us to give back in a bigger, more intentional way. A percentage of our sales is now donated to charitable organizations that support riders, veterans, and the St. Louis communities that inspire us—causes that align with the values No Coast Magazine was built on.
Our team—Kathy, Peggy, Kim, Charlie, and Jordan—each brings something unique to the table. Together, we blend creativity, experience, and passion to create a magazine we’re proud of and that we hope you enjoy as much as we enjoy making it.
Same passion, same purpose - just a new road ahead.
In Loving Memory of Kathy
Kathy gained her wings on January 16, 2025, and her absence has left a profound space in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Kathy was more than a good person—she was an extraordinary one. Bold, fearless, and full of heart, she lived her life with passion, courage, and an unwavering love for others. Her presence brought warmth and light, and she had a remarkable way of making people feel seen, valued, and believed in. That gift touched more lives than she ever realized.
This magazine stands as part of Kathy’s lasting legacy. She didn’t simply start No Coast Bikers—she built something meaningful. What began as an idea grew into a community rooted in authenticity, creativity, and connection, driven by her belief in people and their stories. Every page reflects her vision, bravery, and generous spirit.
Kathy loved deeply and fiercely. Her family and friends were the center of her world, and she held a special place in her heart for animals, offering them the same compassion and care she gave so freely to everyone around her. Her heart was always open, always welcoming.
Though Kathy is no longer with us, the magazine will continue—carried forward in her honor and in her legacy. Her spirit lives on in the community she created, the stories she believed in, and the countless lives she uplifted along the way.
