Podcast 394: With A Little Help From Our Friends

This week on our motorcycle podcast, we are celebrating Valentine's day by describing our perfect date, if our date was a motorcycle. That's right, we go full motosexual on this one. We also talk about some new bikes we saw recently, if the KLR is actually killable, and Emma gives us a history hole on the Egli Vincent that is sitting in her garage.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start with a report from Naked Jim, who rode off into the desert and found himself in the middle of the King of the Hammer race. Next up we are joined by our guest Axe, who has done an extraordinary thing, but first the Misfits have to play 20 questions and try to guess what this thing is. Eventually they figure out that Axe has set the record for riding cross country on his BMW S100RR in just 33 hours and 10 minutes. But he's done more than that. In fact, he wrote a book and made a documentary of his story. Check them out here. http://www.ychrome.com/ Then we take a look at some existing world records on motorcycles, and see if there's any we may try to break ourselves. Hmmm, we may have a shot at some. And lastly, we read emails and answer some listener questions.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by one of our favorite people, Austin from Twistedroad.com. He joins us to bring us up to date on the expansions and updates they've done in the motorcycle rental industry. Even more bikes and better insurance are available now at twistedroad.com. Check it out. Next up we get to hear another History Hole from Emma, this one on the Harley Davidson Topper, a not so successful scooter made back in the 60's. If you like an igloo cooler on wheels, this might be the bike for you. And lastly we answer some listener emails and talk about the pros and cons of carbs vs fuel injection on bikes.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you stories of our rides and wrenching in our perfect weather. Go ahead, hate us for it. But we had a great weekend, only made better by our guest this week, Steve Knoble of Knoble Moto. He teaches motorcycle maintenance classes in Cleveland, Oh. but he also has online classes. What? Where? Here! https://knoblemoto.com/ We talk to him about the kinds of classes he offers, and we also give him the good old Misfits unwanted advice. Ride. Wrench. Repeat. Next up we get to know Rick a little better, with an old game with a new name: Wank or Spank. And lastly, we read some listener emails and try to help someone with making his wife happy.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about our ride down the Pacific Coast Hwy, a much needed mental health ride, which then turned into a WTF ride when we were blazed by another group of bikers. This gets us talking about the unwritten code of being a biker. Things to do and not do. Then we are joined by the Kelly family, who ride together, and hopefully wrench together. Paul has already gotten his wife and kids into motorcycle riding, but the next step is motorcycle wrenching. IN fact, he want to open up his space to anyone needing a place to wrench. His own Re-Cycle community garage. But they have a lot of questions for us first. Like, what lessons have we learned? Do people steal your shit? And can you actually control unruly people with a good stink eye? (the answer is yes). So listen in and enjoy, and hopefully you'll be inspired to share your space as well. With Liza, Miss Emma, Bagel, Naked Jim, Award Winning Mike and the entire Kelly family. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

Then we play a round of Cool or Fool According to Miss Emma, and find out how well the Misfits actually know Emma. Next up, Emma hits us with a history hole on the Isle of Man race, and wows us with her knowledge. And lastly, we answer an email about must have safety equipment for a dirtbiking adventure.
