Podcast 473: Christian Dutcher of Americade

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Liza, who may have a problem, if you call buying a second KLR a problem. And Emma has good news. She will be showing her Turbo Goldwing custom bike at the One Show in Portland in a few weeks. Make sure you look for her there. And if you think putting a turbo on a Goldwing is crazy, Gabe is thinking of putting a turbo on his FZ-07. This gets us talking about expensive mods and accessories that don't add any value to your motorcycle, and cheap mods and accessories that do add value. Hmmmm. This is a hard one. Gabe shares with us his other project bike, a cafe/scrambler DR650 that is actually pretty cool.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we share some big news. Liza sold the Turbo, Charley bought a race bike and Josh brought donuts for everyone. And any day that starts with free donuts, is a good day. After we share who was in the garage today, and what got done, we get to the fun stuff. It's game time! Yay!! We play a game stolen from the Newlywed Game called How Well Do You Know Your Missfits? We pair Mycah with Charley, Emma with Rick, and Liza with Bagel. Then the guys are tested on their knowledge and see if they can get the same answer as the ladies. Play along and see how well you do. Next up we talk about custom bike fads, and when they go to far. This is not just restricted to big twin bikes of the 2000's. In fact, there's a long history of ridiculous customizations, and we share a few. And of course bringing up the rear we answer listeners emails and try to help some people out. YuasaYuasaYuasa is all Emma wants you to remember. With Liza, Miss Emma, Douglas, Rick, Bagel, Charley, Mycah, Mikey 3 Times and Naked Jim.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we cut loose and have some fun. Not like we don't usually have fun, but this one was special because we had a dance party! But before we lose all control, we start with an update on Jim's Ascot Tracker project, his first time starting it, and his first ride. Woohoo! Next up it's poetry slam time. We announce our winners of the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle Contest, read some poems and sing some songs. But no, this is not where it comes off the rails. Emma gives us an update on her new shop, and the slow process of opening a new business. Then we are joined by some of our Ask Miss Emma Patreon subscribers, where they get to pick Emma's brain and get the answers they seek. Of course Emma impresses us with her infinite and in depth knowledge on anything and everything. And now we are up to the crazy fun part. We play the whole song from our contest winner, and we start dancing. And not to be outdone by Naked Jim, Rick jumps in on the naked dance party too and the silliness ensues. Enjoy! With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim, Bagel and Rick.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about what a wonderful weekend we had. The weather was perfect, lots of visitors to the garage, vehicles were bought and sold, there were rides, and cake. But it wasn't great for everyone. Especially for the 2 Suzuki riders who were both told by Emma that their engines were done. This can be heartbreaking news to hear, so Emma breaks it down and explains what went wrong. Liza and John had an amazing ride on dirt and pavement, and Liza falls in love with her 690 Enduro. Which brings us into the next topic of which bikes the Misfits have been wanting to try. Maybe it's an older bike that they've just never experienced, and for some it's the new Pan America which we want to be great. Evel Knievel poems are read, as well as some listener emails. With Liza, Naked Jim, Rick, Miss Emma, Bagel, Mikey 3 Times and Stubby John.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are experiencing a new level of hope. Things seem to be getting better in general, and it feels good. Buell is back! That's right. We talk for a minute about what this means, and what to expect. Jim shares a story about meeting some cool people on a ride he did. "God save you if it's Russion fuel injection". Next up we ask Emma questions. What kind of questions? All kinds! We learn what kind of bike she would be, if she were a bike. We learn what color her knickers are, and all sorts of other interesting bits. Liza has a glowing revue of her new Corbin seat for the Africa Twin, and also explains why she took a dremel tool to her brand new Quin helmet. And then all the Misfits share what helmet they prefer, and why they chose it. And lastly, we answer listener emails. Big announcement! We are having a contest, with 3 winners, all getting the new Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle (Trail model). To enter, write a song or poem about Evel Knievel, and send it to us via email.
