Podcast 398: AMA Hall of Famer Mert Lawwill

This week on our motorcycle podcast we rise from the ashes (literally)and fill you in on what's been going on with all the fires here in California. Jim Eckerman calls in from behind the fire line to tell us what it's been like living in the fire zone, patrolling the neighborhood on his KTM, and putting out spot fires before they get out of hand. And since we were all faced with possible evacuation, we talk about the process of choosing what to save, that we all had to go through. Next up Liza, Charley and Naked Jim share their story of an epic ADV trip, almost succumbing to both hypothermia and heat stroke, and overcoming obstacles as a team. Then we hear from Emma, who shares some of her personal history with motorcycles, including many of her 'firsts". And lastly we finish with listener emails. Stay safe everyone! With Liza, Naked Jim, Miss Emma, Nak, Bagel, Mycah, Charley and Award Winning Mike. Go to www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza gets a new bike which was not exactly advertised correctly. But in this case it's not that the owner was being deceitful, it's more that he just wasn't aware of some issues. So we discuss the ins and outs of buying a used bike, and give some tips on how to negotiate. In other news, Nak is back on his bike! And the first thing he did after recuperating from a broken collar bone? A wheelie, what else!? But the biggest news is that Bagel showed up to the garage on a Buell Blast. ??? No, we haven't converted him yet, he's just helping out a friend to get it fixed up. With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim, Nak, Bagel, Jordan and Kris.
