Outdoor scene of a small town street with brick buildings and parked motorcycles. In the foreground, there is a wooden table with a coffee mug labeled 'North Coast Ride,' a pair of gloves, keys, and a wallet. A sign overlaying the image reads 'Kickstands and Coffee, Petoskey, MI - Monthly Gathering.'

Kickstands and Coffee is a low-key, community-focused gathering designed for Northern Michigan riders who value good conversation as much as a good route. Hosted by North Coast Ride, this monthly meetup is all about bringing local enthusiasts together over a morning cup of coffee to swap stories, talk gear, and discover new hidden-gem roads across the region. There are no agendas or membership fees; just a casual invitation to pull up a chair, meet fellow riders, and potentially join an unofficial group ride if the Michigan weather decides to cooperate. Whether you’ve been touring for decades or just picked up your first bike, it’s the perfect way to connect with the local moto-community and kick off your weekend on two wheels.
