This week on our motorcycle podcast we take a special trip down to Carmel where we visit Craig, Carol and Zak Vetter at their home. Craig Vetter is an icon in the motorcycle industry most known for inventing the Windjammer fairing, designing the Triumph Hurricane, and most lately working with riders like Electric Terry to create fuel efficient streamlined bikes and hosting the Craig Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge. In August of 2015, Craig was riding his streamlined scooter down a street near his home, when he was struck by a deer and knocked off his bike. It was a day that changed his life forever, and his family's too. Craig suffered from a traumatic brain injury, and lost an entire year of his life that he cannot remember. With the help of his family, friends and community, he has been recovering slowly, and improving every day. So this isn't just his story, it's really his family's story of how their lives have changed taking care of someone with a TBI, and how a small army came to support them and help them through this difficult period. With Liza, Emma, Craig, Carol and Zak. http://www.craigvetter.com/ www.zazzle.com/recyclegarage/products Call and leave us a message at 831-291-5112 Go to www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com to find the links to our Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Patreon and more.

This week on our motorcycle podcast, we find out who got a new bike. #10 in fact. We also catch up on progress with bikes, including a couple of people who discovered they need an engine rebuild. Which brings us to our topic today: Rebuilding Your Engine. Taking on a big project like this can be fun, or it can be daunting and frustrating. We've learned our lessons through the years, and are here to share our experience with you. We talk about the four big things to make it an easy and successful job: Workspace, money, time and tools. Lastly, we finish up with listener emails, including a funny one from Sheila about a father who thinks he can ride and his son, who's figured out he can't.

This week on our motorcycle podcast, we hear from Emma who attended the last Clubmans All British Bike Show. We also talk about some of the latest projects in the garage, including a pesky Nighthawk 250 that keeps breaking and losing it's exhaust studs. For more than a year we've been trying to solve this mystery, and Emma thinks she's figured it out. Then we get into our main topic, which is "Big Ideas". We've all got them. Some of us just talk about them and some of us are making them happen. And Terry might prove us all wrong that his is not crazy. You be the judge. Next up, we read a Craigslist ad that deserves an Emmy or Oscar, or.........shit. We really need to come up with awards for well written ads. I'll ad that to my big ideas list. Then we finish with listener emails, that bring up subjects like "Does a bike have a soul?" and "Maybe Google translator doesn't always work" and my favorite, "Ouch, I broke my knee!"
