I love it. It is harsh, there's still an essence of no regrets; it's rough, and has a natural disposition. Wild history, freedom, adventure and untethered harshness. Freedom... That's what it's all about.

Black Bear Brand is a way of life; a journey of deigning and creating items that are the enigmatic collision of rugged and refined. A continuous season; no beginning, no end, but always inspired by living, dreaming, a genuine participation in the adventure of life.

The rambler, freedom at its core... rambler to the bone… FREEDOM!

My restless, roaming spirit was taking over once again.... It’s time for another adventure. I want to give in to this inescapable draw towards the west. The romance, anarchy, and chaotic violence of the wild west... is what I seek. Here’s a peek into the adventure across the west. IWC Journal

Ties in every town…

Best thing I can do is go, experience life and live my dream…

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

The kinship between Black Bear Brand and The Last Knife Fighter is rooted in many of our philosophies and approaches towards life. Buddy get my knife was the song that brought us together. Here's a special acoustic version of Buddy Get My Knife by The Last Knife Fighter for Black Bear Brand in celebration of their kinship.

The American West, where a ghost of the wild west is still alive. It is raw, untamed, and vast; I love it, I feel free; it is magnificent.

I've ditched my helmet a couple hundred miles earlier in Montana. I'm riding into Wyoming through Yellowstone National park. Its summer, nature is alive, the colors, the smells... my senses are going wild, everything is intensified. I'm alive.
I'll be at a friends ranch in Moran, Wyoming.... soon.

June 25th I jumped on my 1948 Panhead; tracked across Washington, through Montana… arriving in Wyoming on June 28th!

Here's a peak into my day hanging out with friends: Grant Colliher, Luke Darling, and Chris Douglas... at Diamond Cross Ranch.

the unquestionable freedom found at Sea!

Josh Sirlin is in love with his 1948 Panhead. And with freedom, adventure. And so, the creative director of the Black Bear Brand went on a trip through America’s Wild West. To escape all noise and experience the rawness of nature from the seat of his bike. Always at his side: Josh’s Big Pilot’s Watch.
