Podcast 646: Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Naked Jim, Stumpy John and Scotty who were down in the Mojave Desert at Johnson Valley doing some dirtbiking. There's plenty of things here that can kill you, including the sidewinder that joined them in their camp at night. Navigating in the desert and negotiating the windy roads can be a challenge. So can the sand and silt that tried to kill John, yet they still had a wonderful time. Bagel shares his stories from the Scotchtoberfest Scooter Rally, where they had competitions like throwing utensils and such. Scooterists are one crazy bunch and know how to throw a rally. In other news, Emma changed tires and Liza got new pants and found a cool TV show called Flipping Bangers. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Brian, Scotty, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza is seeking on advice on a few legal matters. If you get a speeding ticket in another country, does it follow you back home? How can you tell you are talking to a Craigslist scammer? What can you do if you pay for a custom item that doesn't work, and the fabricator won't respond to your emails? Our guest Amy from https://autoappraisalnetwork.com/ tries to answer some of these questions. In her experience working with the DMV, as a VIN verifier and an automotive appraiser, she has learned how to navigate the grey areas in the system. She answers all of our questions, and also gets roped into playing a game where everyone has to appraise different vehicles, some of which are one of a kind. If you would like to reach her for her appraisal services, contact her at AmyL@autoappraisalnetwork.com With Liza, Miss Emma and Bagel.

Warning: This episode contains graphic subjects that are not suitable for children or in public spaces. We acknowledge that sex and pornography exist, so if you're not comfortable with these topics, you may want to skip this one. Motorcycles and bikers have been fetishized for decades. Where does this come from? What is the difference between good and bad biker porn? Does a hot girl on your bike ad get more interest? And what biker porn would Liza like to see? We delve into this taboo subject and share findings from our 'research'. With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

What do choppers, cafe racers, flat trackers, ADV and scramblers have in common?

And what style will we see produced next? Discuss..... Lastly we read listener emails and answer some great questions. Keep the emails coming! With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Emma gets assaulted by a pear tree. Admittedly she did not deserve this based on the amount of bikes she magically fixed with a diddle of her finger. Liza has first world problems; she wants a new bike, but doesn't need a new bike, so she's looking for the bike that no one needs but everyone wants. Next up we talk about some different motorcycle controversies around the world, and realize that nobody likes to be told what to do even if they are better off for it. Lastly we read listener emails and talk about all the events we are planning in the next year. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma and Bagel. Big thanks to our sponser, AG1.
