This week on our motorcycle podcast we are off to the races. Well, we went to the MotoAmerica races, though we didn't actually watch any of the races.....But we test rode bikes, ran into lots of friends and had a ton of fun. We'll share our experiences on the test rides, which include the Yamaha Niken and a BMW S1000RR. Our guests this week were also there, but they were hanging with the cool kids in race leathers. Aliki from VnM Sport is here to talk about racing and under garments. And Shiree from Sheemotos is here to talk about racing (and punching Aliki in the uterus) but also she shares her story of overcoming a head injury and later using motorcycling to help women overcome PTSD much like she did. They've both got great stories to tell, but we're going to throw in a bonus story for free. Davis from Atlanta has joined us as well. He's been riding his 1978 CB750 across the country and spent the day at the shop tearing down his engine and fixing an oil leak. Never ever trust us when we say we want to take a picture with you and your bike. It's like shooting fish in a barrel people. With Liza, Nak, Bagel, Miss Emma, Shiree, Aliki, Naked Jim and Davis. https://vnmsport.com/ http://www.sheemotos.com/ Call and leave us a message at 831-291-5112 Go to www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com to find the links to our Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Patreon and more.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start the show out with the bad news, and bring it back up all the way to the end. Sadly racer Carlen Dunne has crashed and died while setting a new record at Pikes Peak Hill Climb. This is a huge loss for the world. Also, one of our own was in a freak motorcycle accident, and we send our best wishes to his long recovery. Now lets take it back up. Oh wait, not quite done. Liza and Jim went on an epic ride and managed to kill 1 ground squirrel apiece. Condolences to the squirrels families as well. Okay, now we can take it back up. Mikey 3 Times bought a new bike that he's going to customize and hopefully become Mikey 4 Times. Austin from Twistedroad.com has joined us to share all the updates and improvements that have been made since his last visit. Now you can find more bikes than ever in almost all the states (NY, what's thee deal?) and you can get better insurance to make sure you are well covered. Check it out at www.Twistedroad.com Zee has started a new group called Bunkabiker, where you can list or find places for fellow bikers to crash for the night (maybe crash is a bad choice for words for the biker community) Lastly we finish with listener emails and go 3 for 3 in answering them. Congrats to Wendy Crockett for being this year's Iron Butt Rally winner! Stay to the very end to hear our interview with Carlin Dunne from last year's Moto Bay Classic. With Liza, Sara, Miss Emma, Austin, Zee, Naked Jim and Mikey 3 (soon to be 4) Times.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we're joined by listener JJ, who wrote in to tell us his story of escaping death. We thought it was so amazing, we invited him in to tell it in person. And he wouldn't be here to do so if it wasn't for his Spot Satellite GPS he received as a gift from his family. JJ also tells us about his '47 and '42 Harley restoration projects. But first, we talk about what we're working on, and why one of the kids is going to receive a prank punishment next week. Liza shares some deals she's found on Ali Express that are hard to pass up on. It's time for Dueling Craigslist Porn Pics. Which one might end up in the garage next week? And lastly Bagel reads a riveting email about a trip from hell that surely would have done JJ in.
