NQP Update – New Roads, Same Fire

It’s been a while since we last updated this page—and for good reason. A lot has changed over the last six months.

NQP Michigan is now NQP Alaska.
That move was no small feat, as I’m sure you can imagine. Packing up the garage, the bikes, and the legacy we built in Michigan and relocating it all to the edge of the Last Frontier took time, effort, and a whole lot of fuel—both literal and spiritual.

We’ve landed in Fairbanks, and while the snow is still melting, we’re sketching out what comes next. We’re weighing whether to rebuild this as a full-time operation or just keep wrenching and riding as a passion-fueled side hustle. For now, we’re focused on the essentials: building the space, finding the rhythm, and shaking off the frost.

Meana is officially out of cold storage.
We got the first 20 miles in on our local shakedown run, and she’s pulling like a beast. No hiccups. No hesitation. Just pure power. With temps hovering in the high 50s and low 60s, the weather has been perfect for dialing her back in. Long roads, open throttle, and no traffic. Alaska has a different kind of freedom—and we’re here for it.

Below are some snapshots of our new base, the latest tool-upgrades, and the garage that’s quickly becoming home. It’s still Not Quite Perfect, but that’s always been the point.

When  NQP first kicked off, I never imagined it would one day ride out of Michigan and land in the wilds of Alaska. But here we are—new roads, new garage, same fire. Check out where the journey’s taken us, how Meana’s holding up, and what’s coming next.
