Podcast 462: All About Choppers and the Roost

This week on our motorcycle podcast, we visit the new Moto Talbott motorcycle museumt down in Carmel Valley. Education. Preservation. Restoration. This is what this place is all about, and we are so fortunate to have it added to the list of our local attractions. We went mobile on this one, so that we could walk through with Robb and get the stories behind some of these bikes. And let me tell, you, every bike has a story, and Robb knows how to tell it. This will definitely become one of our regular destinations to ride to, and we can't wait to go back and learn even more. With Liza, Jim, Isaac, Zach and Mike. http://www.mototalbott.com/ Call and leave us a message at 831-291-5112 Recycle Santa Cruz Facebook page Recycle Santa Cruz on YouTube Patreon Motorcycles & Misfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

This week on our motorcycle podcast we catch up with what we're working on, including Charley who can't seem to find his gears after rebuilding his engine. Liza and Naked Jim have a dirtbiking report, and Liza declares herself great at getting guys nuts off. Bagel and Brook then regale us with their stories from their trip to Pakistan. Their trip was different from the others though, because they did it on vintage Vespas! They had a great time, and came back changed for the better. Lastly we read listeners emails and dole out a little advice.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Ted of the Motorcycle Men Podcast, and discuss if Harley Davidson will be able to weather the latest storm. It seems that every attempt by HD to introduce new technology and ideas is not supported by their community of riders. Could this lead to the death of Harley? HD has proven themselves to be the cockroaches of motorcycles and have survived through many hard times, but will the upcoming electric revolution be the end? We also get a ride report, a crash report, a helmet review, read listener emails and hear a teaser from next weeks podcast. With Liza, Bagel, Naked Jim, Jim E. Charley, Emma, Quiet Matt, Isaac, Jim and Kathy. http://www.motorcyclemen.us/ Call and leave us a message at 831-291-5112 Recycle Santa Cruz Facebook page Recycle Santa Cruz on YouTube Patreon Motorcycles & Misfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com
