Broken Nickle Garage
Who am I? I’m just a guy with a wrench in one hand and a throttle in the other. My name’s Rod, and I run a mobile truck and fleet repair business by day—but my true fuel is the freedom I find in Montana’s wild backcountry.
What is this channel about? Wrenches and Wilderness is where horsepower meets healing. It’s where socket sets and spark plugs finance dirt trails and mountain sunrises. Join me on my journey as an amateur moto-camper exploring the rugged beauty of Montana. I’ve ridden street bikes for over 30 years, but off-road adventure riding is a whole new frontier—and I’m learning one trail, one mistake, and one campfire at a time.
Whether you're a fellow rider, weekend camper, or someone dreaming of escaping the grind, I’m here to share the tools, tales, and triumphs of transitioning into a life of more camping and less clock-punching.
So grab your gear. Let’s ride. Let’s camp. Let’s wander where the wrenches can’t follow.
