It's that time of year where we head to Vegas for the AimExpo. This is an industry expo where you can see new bikes, parts, products, manufacturers, organizations and anything else you can think of that is involved in the motorcycle industry. Its a place to network, see old friends, and talk to industry experts all under one roof. We love it especially because of the access to people who can answer all of our questions, and we have a lot of them. Liza talks to Ollie from Oset bikes, an electric trials bike company that makes bikes for every age and size. Emma and Liza talk to John at KTM, and find out what we truly can expect in the future for them, and put to rest the rumors of their demise. Liza talks to Jason at Cometic Gaskets, and finds out what the latest technology in gaskets is and how it works. Phil and Liza talk to Chris at Moto Morini about their latest offerings of bikes, which truly reflect their Italian heritage and design. This is definitely a brand you should be checking out. Jim and Scottie talk to Matt at Cruz Tools, and learn more about these tool sets that are not just brand, but model specific. Scottie and Junky talk to Ted at Blaster, who makes products you know like PB Blaster, Metal Rescue and Gunk. They've developed a complete line of products for motor sports, as well as a new spray bottle cap that's exactly what we needed. Emma talks to Jose at MV Agusta about their future after being sold by KTM, as well as their line of bikes that may well be the sexiest motorcycles you can buy. Craig talks to Clinton at Battery Tender about how important battery maintenance is, as well as the wide array of chargers they sell and the advantages each one has. And lastly we record at the One Show, give a recap of the event, and talk about each of our favorite bikes there.
