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.
