Meet Scott 'Bones' Williams

Scott Williams is a storyteller, photographer, motorcyclist, and lifelong New Englander. His first Rider magazine feature was published in 2004, and his byline has appeared more than one hundred times since. In 2023, he was named Contributing Editor for Rider.

His style

Scott's writing emphasizes the excitement of motorcycling and the intrigue of sights, history and culture he encounters on the road. He also uses his platform to humanize the riding community through stories about advanced rider training and support for worthwhile causes.

That nickname

Scott has carried the moniker 'Bones' from a young age, owing to a slender build, which he retains. Friends from childhood, college, hockey, and motorcycling call him Bones. His nieces and nephews call him Uncle Bones. His parents named him Scott, but friends call him Bones.

More than motorcycling

Scott has covered finance and investing, industrial technology, higher education, art, music, sports cars, brewing, and mental health. He's written investor education, guidance for college selection, executive speeches and bylines, white papers, employee communications, donor relations, and more. Clients in countries around the world know Scott as 'the Wordsmith.'
