About Backfire Moto
Since 2008, Backfire Moto Night has captured the imagination of the DIY motorcycle community, its organizers hosting events that attract motorcycle riders from near and far on third Wednesdays during the riding season.
With that backdrop of epic motorcycle nights that bring people together, Backfire CEO and founder Sean Westlake opened Backfire Moto in 2019 here on one of Seattle’s most famous roads – Aurora Avenue. He has added to the monthly extravaganzas with nightly camaraderie, music and mirth. Surviving Covid and other business challenges, Westlake has continued to host thirsty travelers with fine draught ales, wines and that old Seattle favorite, the Rainier tallboy.
Westlake brings a wealth of bar management experience, previously running the beloved Fuse Box, also on Aurora. Since 2023, bar, restaurant and catering veteran Brendan Shriane has assumed a minority ownership role, helping Westlake continue the service and experience that Backfire Moto has become well known. Welcome, Your management team.
