An amazing black woman who rode her bike around the country back in the 1930's, when many places still did not accept black people. Then Liza shares a story about a triple amputee doctor who gives back to the man who modified a bike for him to ride. We cover emails and answer some good questions, Nak shares a lesson he learned while working on his bike, and then things go off the rails and get a little weird.

We also share which Misfit got a new bike and crashed it the same weekend. Then we get to know Dom from merry old England, who is visiting us after starting his own custom electric motorcycle business. And we can't talk electric bikes without Electric Terry in the house. We also brought in electric vehicle guru Luke Workman, who fascinates the group with stories about some of his electric powered deathtraps, one of which our own Douglas almost killed people on.

This week on our motorcycle podcast, the gang took off for the Dirtbag Challenge, so we bring to you a recording we did earlier in the week. We start with getting to know Sheila in Texas, as part of our extended family of Misfits segment. She got a great story about a deathtrap bike her dad once made. And since Sheila is small in stature, we carry the discussion into the new Honda Rebel. Liza admits she once had a deep deep hatred for this bike, but may be coming around on the new versions. Lastly, it's time for Emma's History Hole, where she tells us about 2 amazing woman riders you should know about; Beryl Swain and Elspeth Beard. With Liza, Emma, Naked Jim and Sheila.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we get the cops called on us while muddin in a field. Max and Will from Canada join us as they are heading down to Baja on their bikes, and tell us about their fleet of bikes back home. We play a round of What's It Worth with a special circus bike. Andy tells everyone about his miserably wonderful trip to Portland and a poor choice of a bike that he loves dearly. Charley gets a wheelie lesson from Douglas, and shares with us his new bike. Lastly, we read emails from members of Emma's Army, which turns out doesn't actually protect anything but instead just gets drunk and shits the bed. Sorry for the sound quality on Nak's mic. We didn't have it patched correctly. With Liza, Douglas, Bagel, Kat, Nak, Andy, Max, Will, Emma, Michael, Naked Jim and Charley.

We also hear from Emma, who just returned from technical training for Moto Guzzi, Aprilia and Vespa. And she's got something to say about the future of wrenching on these modern bikes. Lastly we read some emails and make a few announcements. Oh yeah, and be warned. There's a dance party at the end.
