This week on our motorcycle podcast, the gang took off for the Dirtbag Challenge, so we bring to you a recording we did earlier in the week. We start with getting to know Sheila in Texas, as part of our extended family of Misfits segment. She got a great story about a deathtrap bike her dad once made. And since Sheila is small in stature, we carry the discussion into the new Honda Rebel. Liza admits she once had a deep deep hatred for this bike, but may be coming around on the new versions. Lastly, it's time for Emma's History Hole, where she tells us about 2 amazing woman riders you should know about; Beryl Swain and Elspeth Beard. With Liza, Emma, Naked Jim and Sheila.

Andy tells everyone about his miserably wonderful trip to Portland and a poor choice of a bike that he loves dearly. Charley gets a wheelie lesson from Douglas, and shares with us his new bike. Lastly, we read emails from members of Emma's Army, which turns out doesn't actually protect anything but instead just gets drunk and shits the bed. Sorry for the sound quality on Nak's mic. We didn't have it patched correctly. With Liza, Douglas, Bagel, Kat, Nak, Andy, Max, Will, Emma, Michael, Naked Jim and Charley.
