This is an interview with Brian Schaffran, the founder of Skidmark Garage, a community motorcycle workspace in Cleveland, Ohio, celebrating its 10th anniversary. Schaffran shares the origins and challenges of running a community garage. The interview also introduces MotoGo Cleveland, a non-profit started by Schaffran and his wife, which aims to reintroduce shop class to high schools, using vintage motorcycles as a way for students to learn hands-on skills, problem-solving, and embrace failure as a learning opportunity. Schaffran expresses a passionate belief in the program's potential to transform education and notes the exceptional aptitude of female students in the shop classes.
