About
Two riders.
One mission.
Built in a Mesa garage by two MSF-certified instructors who got tired of dishonest gear shops and watered-down training.
The Story
Started in a Mesa garage.
Twin Throttle Co. didn't start in a boardroom. Nickcole and Josh are partners in life and on the road — two certified motorcycle instructors with a shared obsession for the ride.
Years of teaching new riders, watching friends struggle to find honest gear shops, and chasing every desert backroad in Arizona — that's where this brand was born. We built Twin Throttle to be what we always wanted: a place run by riders who know what good gear feels like and what good training actually does.
No tourist-shop fluff. No corporate spin. Just the gear, the training, and the community that takes riding seriously.

Mission
What We Stand For
Four values. No compromise.
Certified
Both founders are MSF RiderCoaches. We teach to a standard, not a script.
Hands-On
Every piece of gear in the shop has been tried on, ridden in, or rejected by us first.
Local
Mesa-born and desert-tested. We know the roads we'd send you down.
Honest
We'll tell you when you don't need the upgrade. That's the whole point.
The Founders
The people behind the throttle.

Josh
Rides a GSXR-1000
Lifelong rider with a love for sportbikes and twisty roads. Brings the technical side and the throttle-happy energy. If you've got a question about geometry, suspension, or the perfect line, he's already three answers deep.
