I met Max Mackey soon after he opened Moto Haus Coffee in South Fort Collins off College Avenue. I’d recently become the proud owner of a 1976 BMW R75/6, and the former owner told me of a group of old (and some younger mostly BMW guys that met regularly for evening coffee and riding. It was the coolest spot in town for the riding community for several years, but was ultimately killed by the Great Recession. I kept the R75 for over 10 years, and she served me truly, upstaged in most parking lots only by Max’s earlier-model` R75/5 with a chrome toaster tank!
The closure of Max’s coffee shop led to a long-term chapter with Coda Coffee in Denver, and lots of music, especially as guitar and vocals with the band Thunk - for 16 years! In 2018, after his girls were out of the nest, Max took the leap into full-time music - playing everywhere he could make at least $100 plus tips. His growing popularity led to an album effort based in California, but Covid delays interrupted the album, and then a tragic motorcycle accident flipped the script and shattered his knee and sent him into a tailspin. Many months and much pain and physical regression later, Max went into a surgery not knowing if he’d lose his leg below the knee or not.
Max came out of that surgery with a new mechanical knee, and a new lease on life. His music career caught fresh fire, and turned into a trio, and then into a band, and now he’s a “what size do you need?” original music plus great jam covers offering to the Colorado community. This was an intensely personal conversation re-getting to know a friend from long ago, and I’m certain you’ll enjoy my conversation with Max Mackey.
