Motorcycles & Misfits

The future is here, the future is now. I know we keep saying this with every electric motorcycle we talk about, but we saved the best for last. This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Richard Hatfield, founder and CEO of Lightning Motors. The Lightning LS-218 is an electric superbike that has set records at Bonneville Salt Flats and Pikes Peak. This bike is making amazing numbers in speed, horsepower and torque. We talk with Richard about the awesome bikes he had growing up, and how he decided to build the worlds fastest production motorcycle. We are also joined by Loz Blain of New Atlas who test rode the bike and lived to tell the tale. Read the article and watch the video. It's worth it. With Liza, Zach, Nak, Kat, Isaac, Electric Terry, Emma, Richard, Loz, Douglas, Charley, Micah, Michael and the peanut gallery. http://lightningmotorcycle.com/ http://newatlas.com/lightning-ls218-review-ls-218/36470/ Call and leave us a message at 831-291-5112 Recycle Santa Cruz Facebook page Recycle Santa Cruz on YouTube Patreon Motorcycles & Misfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring you the second of our double banger weekend. We hear from Nak and Liza who share some more stories from their time at the AMA Vintage Days event. Then we have everyone take a test to see how much of a real biker they are. If you want to take the test, you can find it posted on our Facebook page. Next we cover some emails, including one that asks if we are offended by a bikini bike washes. Then the question is posed, "What is the biker code when it comes to loaning/borrowing a bike from someone?" With Liza, Nak, Zach, Emma, Douglas, Mike, Kat, Naked Jim, Animal Dave, Ducaki Dave, Jim Eckerman, Isaac and Ashley.
