Preserving Motorcycle Culture Through Print

At PrintingCenterUSA, we love seeing print used to capture culture, build community, and turn passion into something tangible. For motorcycle enthusiast and creative Ed Subias, print became the foundation for The Faction Moto a publication dedicated to preserving authentic motorcycle culture beyond the fleeting nature of social media.

What began as a personal passion project has grown into a recognized brand within the motorcycle community, connecting riders through print, events, and shared experiences.


About Ed Subias & The Faction Moto

Ed Subias is the creator of The Faction Moto, a motorcycle-focused publication rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship, and community. A lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, Ed wanted to create something riders could physically hold something lasting that reflects the stories, people, and culture behind the machines.

Rather than relying solely on digital platforms, Ed chose print as a way to slow things down and give motorcycle culture the space it deserves.

“I wanted to share authentic motorcycle culture with people in a more tangible form than a social media feed, which is often forgotten within seconds.” – Ed Subias

The Challenge

Motorcycle culture thrives on connection, storytelling, and shared experiences. Ed’s challenge was finding a way to showcase that culture in a format that felt intentional and enduring not disposable or easily overlooked.

The goal for The Faction Moto booklets was to create a high-quality printed piece that could:

  • Showcase photography and storytelling with impact
  • Feel collectible rather than temporary
  • Strengthen brand recognition within the motorcycle community

Print needed to reflect the same level of care and craftsmanship found in the motorcycles and riders it featured.

Ed partnered with PrintingCenterUSA to produce professionally printed booklets that bring The Faction Moto vision to life. High-quality print allowed the publication to stand out, elevate the brand, and give readers something they could revisit again and again.

The Impact

The impact of The Faction Moto has extended far beyond the printed page. As the publication gained recognition, the brand became a trusted name within the motorcycle community.

“As the brand name, The Faction Moto, has gained recognition in the motorcycle community, I’ve been able to leverage that familiarity to organize motorcycle shows and group rides.

What started as an annual printed booklet has helped spark real-world connections bringing riders together through events, shows, and group rides that strengthen the community Ed set out to serve.

Looking Ahead

With growing momentum, Ed plans to expand The Faction Moto to two to three printed issues per year, continuing to build on the foundation that print helped establish.

“In the future, I would like to publish printed issues two to three times a year instead of just once a year.”

By combining print with live events and community engagement, The Faction Moto continues to prove that print remains a powerful tool for storytelling, branding, and connection.
