This week on our motorcycle podcast we get to talk to daredevil Debbie Lawler. When Debbie Lawler broke an Evel Knievel motorcycle-jumping record in February 1974, at the age of 21, the American press was riveted. While there had been a handful of women who raced motorcycles, there hadn’t been any female daredevils professionally jumping them—much less upstaging the brashest stunt rider of the era on national TV. Newspapers labeled her the “female Evel Knievel,” a “motorcycle madam” and “tigress on a cycle.” We talk to her about how she got into jumping, why she got out, and how awesome her dad was. With Liza, Miss Emma and Bagel. And big thanks to our stunt Misfits Mike and Chris. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

Tech, safety and affordability in one helmet. Sounds too good to be true? Quin Designs have done it. Tim Calhoun joins us to explain these unique helmets to us. How the tech was developed from a woodpecker, what the potential for this tech is, and what is coming next. And Doctor Detroit joins us to give her perspective as an ER doc. I don't think I'll spoil the surprise if I tell you that she's impressed and can't wait to get her own. Also, Jon Dalton caught on fire, and so did his bike. He shares this scary tale that left him on the side of the road watching his bike go up in flames. Yikes! With Liza, Jon Dalton, Naked Jim, Miss Emma, Bagel and Tamar. https://www.quin.design/ motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Randy and Peter, who have quite the interesting story. 54 years ago, when Peter was just 17 years old, he set out on a journey from Montreal to Los Angeles on his 100cc bike with just $200 bucks in his pocket. He shares his fascinating story of his quest to meet the Beach Boys. Next up, Emma and Liza share there recent adventure stories, but admittedly neither are as good as Peter's. Liza gives a review of the first 5 episodes of the Long Way Up. So far it's been a good series. Let us know what you think. Zero and Polaris are working together. We know how this worked out for Alta and Harley. Can we expect the same? And lastly we read listener emails.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have good news from some Misfits. First off Mycah got a new bike. Yay! And the other big news is that Bagel bought a house! Except it's in Oregon......... But our main topic today is the story of Michael Czysz, and we have Quentin Willson as our guest to share his experience as one of the mechanics on this incredible bike. Long story short: Michael Czysz set out to design and build a MotoGP bike. It was revolutionary, but never successful. But that didn't stop him. His next bike would be electric, and this bike was successful. But unfortunately he would get sick and die within a few years of seeing this success.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are chilling and having a good time. We had some old friends and new bikes visit, and enjoyed the clear skies (first time in a month). We dusted off some of our favorite games and brought them out of the closet. First up we have Cool or Fool according to Miss Emma. Feel free to play along. And since the used bike prices have been going up, we play around of What's It Worth in the Covid times. Lastly, we banter on about this and that, what's on our minds, and what we've been talking about lately while finishing up with a listener email. With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim, Nak, Charley, Mycah and Mikey 3 Times.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Guillermo from Riders-Share.com, a peer to peer motorcycle rental site. This year has been incredibly hard for his industry, but he's been holding on and making big plans for improvements to the business. But first we get a report from Jim who rode up to into the fire zone here in the Santa Cruz mountains. It's creepy, and the orange sky we had earlier in the week has us convinced that we are living in the apocalypse. And Emma fills us in on her latest (and according to her, greatest) motorcycle build she's ever done.
