Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about good and bad ideas. Ingenuity is what moves us forward, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes it should've worked but for whatever reason it didn't. Hear our arguments about good and bad ideas in this segment. Next up we play a game called The Easiest Motorcycle Quiz Ever. Play along and see how you do. We give a shout out to the most hardcore segment of the biker community; the ones with no cars. They commute, shop and travel in any weather on two wheels because they are just that badass. And lastly we read listener emails and answer some questions. Happy New Year from the Misfits! With Liza, Miss Emma, Nak and Craig.

For the last podcast of 2022, we bring to you a fun show with lots of topics. We start out with a Tell Me Whyeee there aren't fuel gauges on all bikes? Emma has an answer that Liza aint buying. Then we talk about the remake of Easy Rider, and wonder what bikes they'll use in this modern remake? Next up, Liza has a new game called The Incredibly Impossible Quiz. Play along and see how you do. We then roll into some rounds of Craigslist Porn Pic: What's It Worth edition. Harley has announced some new models that are being made in China, and aren't for the American market. Do we believe them? And could these be the first real winners in the foreign made Harley game? And since it's the holidays, we all share what gifts we hope to receive, are receiving, and would like to give to another. Lastly, we read listener emails. Thanks to everyone for listening, and shout out to all the Misfits around the world. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Craig, Naked Jim, Bagel and Steph Yue.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are still enduring the rain, but that didn't stop a bunch of people from coming to the garage this week. Still buzzing off of the excitement from our 500th Episode Extravaganza, we share a recap of all of the events, meals and activities. In fact, we had such a good time we're considering doing it every year. No, really. Let us know what you think. Matt and Naked Jim just returned from their epic ADV trip to Death Valley, and share their ride report. Is the Africa Twin more capable then the GS1200 off road? Listen to find out. Liza gives Stumpy John and Miss Emma a compatibility test in the form of a game called On or In? Play along and find out if you think like a Misfits too. And lastly, we read listener emails. We received so much awesome feedback from our 500th, as well as some great listener questions. Keep the emails coming! With Liza, Douglas, Ray Ray, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Nak, Naked Jim, Craig, Henry, Charley, Bagel and Breaking Away Matt. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew https://www.leodescapes.com/ https://discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

On this special 500th episode, we gathered Misfits past and present on one stage in front of a live audience. We reminisce about the start of the Re-Cycle Garage and the podcast, share some of our favorite stories, and some of our favorite moments. We've had a rotating cast of characters over the years, forming a family of Misfits, and have had a lot of fun over the years. Thank you everyone who's listened, to those that came for the recording and especially to Phil Waters from the Cleveland Moto podcast for joining us. With Liza, Stumpy John, Douglas, Nak, Megan, Miss Emma, Phil, Kat, Adrianne, Charley, Bagel and Naked Jim. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew www.wetravel.com/trips/2023-dolom…YZhyzKA1pXR1m3eU https://discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza and John have a ride report, which brings up the debate about the perfect Swiss Army Knife bike. Is it the KLR650, DR650 or Tenere 700? Or, is it Liza's vote, the KTM 690 Enduro? What do you think? With so many new bike announcements, it prompts us to share some opinions about if we care or not about these news articles? The conversation then turns into a History Hole about Bimoto, a little known boutique performance brand that makes some amazing bikes. Then we play a game called Separated at Birth. Liza prompts that all bikes have a car that is the equivalent. Do you think we matched them well? And lastly we read listener emails and answer some questions. Thanks to everyone who scooped up the seats to our 500th episode live recording. We can't believe it is sold out!

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza shares an amazing story in a segment we call How Did We Not Know About This, about motorcycles designed by NASA for the moon. Moon scooters were almost a thing! Next up we talk about the massive influx of new electric motorcycles being announced, and who is going to survive this EMoto Thunderdome. Will it be a company with a base in the industry like Kymco or Kawasaki? Or will it be a small company like Fuell or Cake? Do any of these companies bring some new innovation to the table? Or are they all just different aesthetics in an industry already capped by technology? And what does this mean to the rider that hasn't even thought of buying an electric motorcycle yet? We discuss all these things, and why you should be watching the market as they all fight to survive and claim their spot in the future of motorcycling. In game time, Liza springs a spelling bee on the guys, and we find out who can actually spell these often mispronounced motorcycle words. And lastly, we read listener emails and find out what most of us may be doing wrong. With Liza, Stumpy John, Morgan and Bagel.
