About

Rich Johnson

I bring more than 20 years of experience helping businesses grow, modernise and work smarter to the industry I love riding in.

Motorcycling has a perception problem and a growth problem. Too many people see it as risky, closed off or out of reach. The businesses that serve riders are often stretched, short of time and unsure where to invest.

WooMoto exists to change that. I help motorcycle businesses connect authentically with riders, run more effectively and bring new people into the sport. When the industry grows, everyone wins.
