Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Mycah, who came to us as a passenger, then a beginner rider, and is now becoming an instructor. What a path she's been on, and we couldn't be prouder to have been a part of her moto journey to becoming the best rider she can be. We also talk about the latest news, particularly the postponement of our favorite rally, the AMA Vintage Days. Cancelling, postponing, or going ahead with a large event in these times of Covid is a hard decision. We break down what some of the reasons are, while also encouraging others to attend. Liza shares a cool short movie to check out, Rebel Riders, which is about the Indonesion custom scooter culture. Really wacky stuff they are doing. Check it out. https://youtu.be/pPyvUC2UixE And lastly we read some listener emails and give some tips on finding those hard to find vintage parts. With Liza, Mycah, Charley, Nak, Miss Emma, Bagel and Naked Jim. Go to www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Nak, who was mistaken for the grape crush lady after crashing his bike, resulting in his very first ambulance ride. He'll be healed up in a couple of months, but more importantly his bike was not damaged. But it made me think about preparing a go bag for each of the Misfits. Just 3 items that they would want if they had an unplanned hospital stay. What would you want in your go bag? Then we open up the flood gates and let listeners join us in the conversation. We answer some emails, Mike tells some long ass stories, Emma talks about Tikka Masala and answers some listeners questions about pregnant batteries and such. Oh yeah, and Liza goes on another rant about group rides during stay in shelter orders. With Liza, Nak, Naked Jim, Miss Emma, Bagel and the rest.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Mark Dinges of California Creations, the company that brought the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle back. He talks about what it takes to bring a toy back to market after 40 years, what changes were made, and why it may save his company during this pandemic. Now is the perfect time to get into wrenching, and for those that are reluctant to take their bike apart, we suggest getting a cheap project bike to learn on. That's why we play a round of Craigslist Porn Pic Covid project bike edition. Listen to find out who found the best bike.
