The TPA welcomed the return of Ned Suesse to help lead the organization into the future. Ned first joined the TPA Board of Directors in 2017 and served as President from 2021 to April 2023, before taking a brief hiatus to focus on personal business endeavors.
A long time OHV advocate, Ned is a founding member of the Central Colorado Mountain Riders and the founder of Doubletake Mirrors. He has contributed to numerous motorcycle publications and is an accomplished rider and racer, having finished the Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, and all but one Colorado 600 Trails Awareness Symposium since its inception. With a degree in Economics from Colorado College, he lives in Salida, CO, where he continues his work in the motorcycle industry and remains active in trail advocacy.
Reflecting on his passion for riding and advocacy, Ned states:
“I believe that motorcycling brings out the best in people by getting them outside and living in the moment. Trail advocacy is about more than access—it’s about ensuring everyone has the chance to experience the joy of riding and exploring that has improved my life immeasurably.”
The TPA is excited to have Ned’s leadership, vision, and commitment as we continue working to protect and expand off-highway motorcycle recreation.
