Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza pitches another crazy idea, and this one might not be so bad. How long do you think you could sit on your motorcycle while on the kickstand? 8hrs? 24? 36? Let us know if you want to join the challenge this January. Next up it's time for a little Porn Pic Challenge - Project Bike Edition. Coming into the winter is a hard time for those who can't ride, so we suggest picking up a project bike to rebuild during this time, and hone those wrenching skills. Which bike wins this week? We got a great Tell Me Why question this week about why there isn't more crossover with companies in making motorcycles AND cars. Well, there's actually more than you know, which leads to an interesting conversation about what bikes would look like if they were designed by some well known car companies. Liza's project bike KZ400 has a rusty tank, so we talk about all the different methods for cleaning out a tank. Good info here if you are going to dig into a project bike. And lastly we answer listener emails.

This week on our motorcycle podcast it's Halloween, and bad luck seems to be creeping in. Emma got a new tool that kept blowing the breaker, and Jocelin posted a video of her bike falling over. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVrjAw1lj7P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link But Cat McLeod is here to brighten things up for a bit. He has been conducting some of his amazing tours abroad, and has even more planned for next year. He shares with us what it's been like traveling everywhere with Covid protocols and safety concerns. Then the conversation gets real when we talk about our fears on motorcycles, and what we are trying to overcome. A little bit of fear is a good thing, but too much is a very bad thing. Next up we read some listener emails and answer some questions. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Cat, Nak and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Jocelin Snow drops in and brings with her moto blogger Carolyn AKA Doodle On A Motorcycle. She has been documenting her journey from a new rider, to becoming the best rider she can. She has been challenging herself with riding different bikes, as well as taking classes in all kinds of riding styles, which is what brought her out here to take Jocelin's ADV class. She's never ridden a big ADV bike, but that didn't stop her from putting her trust in Jocelin's teaching, and hopping onto a BMW GS1200. She shares with us some of the challenges she conquered, including riding blindfolded, and the dreaded pit of sand. Subscribe to her here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRFJclFblUdyXGdKLuWsfGQ Next up we talk about adding horsepower and handling to your bike with simple maintenance. We call it performance maintenance, and you'd be surprised how much horsepower you lose over time, and how easy it is to regain it. And lastly we read some listener emails, and hopefully offer some good advice.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Scott Harkless, who just set a new cross country electric motorcycle record of 112 hours! This is no easy feat, and takes a lot of patience, planning and perseverance. He fills us in on how he did it, and what advice he has for the next person attempting to set a record. Next up we play a little game called Electrivia, where we recall other electric vehicle records. Play along and see how you do. And lastly we read listener emails and answer questions.

This week on our motorcycle podcast the bitch is back from Pakistan! That's right, Liza has survived another amazing adventure, but not without some close calls. She's shares stories of the bikes, the roads, the people, and the adventure. But first, Award Winning Mike joins us to talk about his first track day. Mike goes all out, buying a CBR1000 track bike and 3 sets of racing leathers. He talks about what he learned, and why he can't wait to go back. Then we play a new game called Stump the Chumps. In this game, we go around the room naming models of bikes that maybe just maybe Emma has never touched. It's much harder than it sounds, and is fun to hear her stories about some of these eclectic bikes.
