Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our show we have listeners Ed and Dave joining us from the middle of their cross country tour. They spent the weekend with the Misfits, riding through the redwoods and wrenching on bikes, and also had fun on the kiddie rides at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We introduce a new segment called Do We Care, where we introduce some recent motorcycle news, break it down, and decide if we care or not. Let us know what you care about. Next up Neil shares stories from his recent moto tour of Ireland, which started out wet and miserable, but quickly shaped up thanks to some fresh Guinness. With Liza, Ed, Stumpy John, Dave, Ray Ray, Neil, Douglas, Naked Jim and Bagel. www.vintagerides.travel www.adifferentagenda.com/ www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our podcast we are joined by the founder of Vintage Rides motorcycle tours, Alex Zurcher. He first started riding while seeking adventure in India, and fell in love not just with the Royal Enfield, but with exploring cultures found off the beaten path. He soon realized he wanted to share all of the authentic experiences he discovered, and Vintage Rides was born. 17 years later he offers this same style of moto adventure in 19 countries, and has become one of, if not the largest, motorcycle tour company. Wendy Crockett also joins us to share some more Vintage Rides experiences, and is available to answer any questions you might have. Jen and Matt from Utah share their Misfit for a weekend experience. From riding the Niken, wrenching at the garage, eating too many bakery treats, surviving the coastal fog and exploring a cave in a redwood tree, they had the full Santa Cruz experience.

Thanks for being a supporter on Patreon. Enjoy this bonus episode where we talk all about clutches.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head down to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, and everyone came away with damp knickers. Normally it would be from the amazing array of beautiful bikes, but this year it was the rain that got our undies wet. That still didn't stop us from having a good time and getting one good interview before the rain went sideways and everyone ran for cover. Fortunately the next day we were back to our usual sunny weather for the garage, and everyone was in better moods once the wrinkled genitalia returned to normal. Jim shares a story of a mission he was sent on from a listener, that turned into an amazing adventure and story. Then Emma shares a story of an unfortunate incident involving a poorly transported motorcycle on the back of a flatbed. This leads us to share our tip and tricks to safely securing your bike for transportation.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we share stories from our 2nd annual Motorcycles & Misfits/Breaking Away Adventures Rally. We had a great group of people attend, and supported dirt, adv and street riding out of our beautiful Hollister Hills SVRA campground. Games were played, drinks were shared, and skills were learned in this event that feels more like a family reunion than anything else. We were also fortunate to have Brok McAllister of California Supermoto Schools on hand for personalized instruction and dirt bike rental.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Emma does a History Hole on police bikes. Did you know that Berkeley, CA was the first city with a fleet of police bikes in 1911? She shares many cool facts about these specialty bikes, including what makes them so special. This leads us in to a conversation about other working bikes, and what bikes would make a better police bike.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza has returned from Peru with stories to tell, and Wendy Crockett joins us to confirm Liza's stories aren't all made up. Vintage Rides is a French company that has been curating moto trips around the world, and have figured out the right combination of perfect roads and authentic experiences off the bike. Liza and Wendy's trip was no exception, with visits to Inca ruins, loads of llamas, and plenty of off road challenges. They share their stories and reviews, and also talk about the Royal Enfield Bullet, and why it's the little bike that could.

This week on our motorcycle podcast our favorite Pakistani sexy mofo is here, none other than Moin Khan himself. Besides our upcoming Stumpistan trip (now combined with Chickistan, so we're calling it Chumpistan), Moin is first leading a new tour in Vietnam next month. In addition to adding Vietnam to his list, he lead his first tour of Tanzania last year which came right after a record rainy season. This lead to some true adventures that included drowning bikes in a river, seeing elephants, giraffes and ostriches, and riding on some slippery dirt roads. But the group banded together to overcome the obstacles together, which makes for some good story telling from Moin. Also, Liza introduces a fun new game you can play along with, and see if you can guess the model of bikes being described. Lastly we finish up with listener emails, one of which brings Scottie to tears of joy.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza has returned from LA, and has stories of her adventures on a mobility scooter in Disneyland. In addition, she visited the Bike Shed and the Petersen Museum, where she spotted a weird looking bike called a Münch. This gives Emma the perfect opportunity to do a History Hole on Münch Motorcycles, as well as other bikes using motors from the automobile world. Next up we are joined by Thor Drake of See See Motor Coffee and the One Moto Show in Portland. We love to attend this show every year, and are sad we can't make it due to a scheduling conflict, but Thor is here to tell us all the amazing things we will miss. Lastly, we read some listener emails.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza is going through a change in life, and has some ideas of what direction to go. Now are they good ideas? That remains to be determined. Let us know what you think. In the meantime, we play some new games; the Ninja game, and the highest priced/lowest price game. Play along and see how well you do. Lastly, we talk about upgrades for your bike. What areas are manufacturers cutting corners on their products, and what are the best investment you can make in upgrades?

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about ways to get more power out of your bike. You can start with the basics, like air filter, exhaust and remapping. Then you can move on to big bore kits, superchargers, cams and lifters. And don't forget about race fuel and fuel additives. How well do all these things work? And the bigger question; are they worth it?

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about the goings on in the garage, as well as an update on legislation concerning e-bikes. Next up we are joined by Wendy and Ian, who wrote a book on their record setting long distance ride. The description for the book is "The inspiring true story of a 100,000-mile motorcycle world record attempt where everything that could possibly go wrong, went spectacularly wrong", and they join us to share even more stories from this epic trip. Added bonus, you get to find out what a stubby cooler is. And lastly, it's time for one of Emma's History Holes, and this one is all about spark plugs (or sparkly plugs as Emma likes to call them.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Stumpy John, who has had two different recent adventure rides that left him assessing his life's choices. But thankfully he bounces back well, and is joined by Josh to tell the tales of their trip to the Misfits Desert Hare. Another choice John needs to make is which bike's should he sell, and what should he buy? Gilles joins us all the way from Quebec on his Kawasaki W800. He's been touring the US since November, and made it all the way to California to sit in on the podcast and answer pressing questions like "Why!?" Liza throws a question out to the group about bikes that are in need of a serious makeover or upgrade. The XR650L for example is 30 years old, and can't compete with bikes like the Tenere 700. Is it time? And what changes should be made? Lastly we finish with listener emails, some of which are quite irate. with Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Josh, Gilles and Bagel. breakingawayadventures.com/misfits-rally-vol-2 www.vintagerides.travel www.adifferentagenda.com/ www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we dive back into last week's conversation about adding color to brake fluid while flushing the lines. This has been quite controversial, and the same debate has been had by every car and motorcycle forum out there. Liza did some extensive research and shares her findings from the web. Cat McLeod is here and he's got a list of bikes for us to look at. These are all the bikes available on his new Tuscan tour, and it's hard to pick the which one is the best. Listen to find out what everyone picks as their favorite. Lastly we cover some current topics that include Laguna Seca being threatened with a lawsuit to have it shut down, the new shirt design has been revealed, and Liza recommends a new show on MAX called On the Roam with Jason Momoa.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we share some things we think are cool. The group takes a vote after each presentation and decides if it's just cool, or if everyone agrees that it's cool cool. Then we ask the question; what came first, gasoline or the gasoline engine? The answer is not that simple, and more interesting than you thought. Next up we play the alphabet game using motorcycle brands and models. Play along and see how well you do. Liza is still holding onto an idea about dying brake fluid, and Emma is vehemently against even trying it. What do you think? And lastly we answer listener emails.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we jump right into listener emails, and the conversations that come from them. First up, do modern sport bikes brake better than a vintage bike or a cruiser? It's hard to believe but the answer is no. We get into the physics and geometry that explains why bikes may be safer, but the stopping distance has not improved in 50 years. Between emails we play a couple of games that you can play along with. How many models of bike brands can you name? Can you do better than the Misfits? And how many of the top 15 global motorcycle brands can you guess? Play along and see how you do. Congrats to Ricky Brabec for running a perfect race and winning this year Dakar.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we find out why Emma is the best tool in the shop. She quickly identifies nagging unsolved issues on bikes with ease, plus we don't have to share our shrimp with her. Jim's got renewed spark for his Honda Ascot Flat Tracker project, and we discuss the best way to approach it for him. Meanwhile Liza spent the day trying all of the gadgets used to help you change tires, and found that they all failed her. Tire changing sucks! But to make her feel better, she springs a new game on the squad where they have to name as many current model bikes as they can for certain brands. Could you have done better? Lastly we read listener emails and answer some questions.

Happy New Years from the Misfits! This being our final show of 2023, we decided to invite listeners to join us via Zoom for our recording, and hear what they have to say. We talk about what bike is next on the list to buy, what's the next riding destination, and what everyone considers the golden era of motorcycles. The 90's sportbike era, the 1920s when people started to travel more by motorcycle, or is it still to come with all of the new technology around the corner? What do you think? Then we hit Emma with some Tell Me Why questions, and she does her best to explain things to us mere mortals. Thanks to everyone who joined us on the recording, and for making it feel like a party. But especially thanks to all of our listeners for keeping us going and looking ahead to all of our adventures in 2024.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you our pre-holiday ramblings. Here's what we talk about: -Liza, and Jim had a perfect ride while bike swapping and comparing three similar but different sport touring bikes. -Trips, trips trips! Are you ready to take a trip next year? We talk about the trips we have planned and where we want to go in the future. -Liza wants to give away a motorcycle next year, and we want your input. What kind of bike would you want? -Smart helmets; will they ever be exactly what we need? -What's the right bike for a young rider who has taken many riding classes but still hasn't had a lot of street experience?

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Matthew Biberman, who is the author of a brand new children's book called Fixing Santa's Cycle. Did you know that Santa rides a motorcycle? All this time people thought they were hearing reindeer hoofs when it was actually the sweet exhaust sounds from his Vincent. Matthew is the son of bike builder Big Sid Biberman, who was well known for his wrenching skills on vintage bikes. In fact, it was a special build of a Vincati that brought Matthew and his dad close again, and was the subject of the book Big Sid's Vincati.

This week on our motorcycle podcast it's time to talk about the Yamaha Niken. Everyone's had a chance to try it, and everyone is impressed. Set aside the freak show imagery with it's double front wheels, and what you have left is an extremely capable sport touring bike, which is equally comfortable in rough twisty roads as it is doing 100mph freeway slabbing. In fact, Liza makes the declaration that a big triple engine is the best all around street bike engine you can get right now. Once you're on the bike, you forget that it's got 2 front wheels, and it just feels like a well planted machine ready to take you down any road in any conditions, and get you home safely. In our You Must Be Crazy segment, we look at a marketplace ad for a modified Ruckus scooter that the seller thinks is worth $10K. Even with the quality modifications, it's hard to believe anyone would pay this much. Would you? Lastly we finish up with announcements and emails.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by new world record holder Bridget McCutchen. She is officially the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe on a motorcycle. Completing her journey just shy of her 23rd birthday, she relied on her Kawasaki Versys 300 and the motorcycle community at large to help her complete her journey. Of course there were some hardships along the way, as well as a new love, and possibly the best education you can get. Listen in and hear how she got the idea, and how she made it all the way back home.

Honda and Lambretta have both announced new electric scooters. Bagel gives us his opinion as to if we should care or not.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we jump into some bikes that came into the shop today, and can't believe the suggested maintenance intervals on a Himalayan. Liza talks about the Niken she's got a line on, and her good bad idea to turn it into an adventure bike. In our Debate Club segment, we discuss the best color for a motorcycle, and come pretty close to deciding as a group what it is. We have free gear. Spread the word. And lastly, we read listener emails and try our best to problem solve a poorly running flingpoo. With Liza, Stumpy John, Lucas and Kelly.

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.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by both Zee Traveler and Cat McLeod. Zee's still living life on the road, has ridden to Alaska and Panama, and managed to write and publish her own book. Not having a job sure does keep you busy! Cat has been leading tours throughout Europe and has finally made it home. He gives us updates on where he's been, and where he's going. We also play a round of the Dating Game with Cat.

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.

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.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head back to Laguna Seca for the the AHRMA motorcycle races. We love this event for a few reasons, but one of them is the vintage motocross races. These are so fun to watch and we root for riders fast and slow. Next up we talk about motorcycle lawsuits. 150 million dollars for a broken ankle? Can I get a piece of that? Seems over the top, but sometimes they are necessary to force change in the system, but sometimes they are just a money grab from a heart torn family. Listen to these actual cases, and let us know what you think. And lastly we talk about Stumpy John's problem, getting ready for Vintage Motorcycle Days, and listener emails.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are celebrating both Pride and Stumpy John Appreciation Day. That's right, John is back, and he's taking us to Stumptown. Unfortunately John's dad recently passed away, so John shares stories of his dad who was a great mechanic and racer in his time. And although he may have had what it takes to be a pro racer, he instead decided to have a family and keep racing as a hobby. John was fortunate enough to grow up racing and wrenching alongside his dad, and has so many wonderful memories of this time. And to show our appreciation of John, we gifted him with a new bike. Listen and find out what kind it is! With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Liza talks about a Harley Davidson that washed up on a Canadian shore in a storage container that went on a year long voyage. Bagel tells us about a mystery ailment with his scooter that has a crazy origin, and Emma shares a story which involves the rarest bike in the world. But first, we talk about new bikes and people at the garage, and if a FZ6 is a good first bike or not? Then we find out what's new in Bagel's garage, and it's not what we think it is. Also, Jim gives us his off the grid ride report in Moon Rocks, NV which includes him being catapulted down a ravine. Good times. With Liza, Miss Emma, Craig, Naked Jim and Bagel.

On our last episode we talked about death and motorcycling, which was a heavy subject to cover, but we didn't have time to cover the other side of death and motorcycles: the death of a bike. We talk about the anatomy of a bike death, and what things may have prevented it. We also get a mechanic's perspective on how to tell someone that their beloved machine may not survive, and to do this we bring on our new friend Gabe of the Motorcycles and Misfits Garage. They are a brand new shop in S. Carolina that just happen to share our name, so we thought it'd be a good idea to get to know them and learn a bit about them as well. We also play a round of Ride, Repair and Junk motorcycle version, so listen and find out which bike models are sent to their death.

Would you ride a bike knowing that someone died on it? This is the question that started this whole conversation. When asked, different people had different answers for different reasons which was quite surprising. Death is not something that bikers like to talk about, but realizing how many different opinions there are, it seemed like it should be talked about. Do your friends and family know what your wishes are in the case of an accident? Do you have your affairs in order? Do you realize how many lives may be affected by your untimely death? These are all important questions, and we sit down and talk about them, and hope that you will too. With Liza, Patrick, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head down to Carmel CA for the annual Quail Motorcycle Gathering. This is a concours d'elegance event with everything from restorations to race bikes, choppers, scooters and everything else in between. With such an array of bikes on display, it's hard to choose who to interview, but we managed to get some good ones. Emma talks to Stacy and Sparky from the Haas Museum in Dallas, TX about some of the unique and interesting bikes they brought to show. Liza interviews Taras about his beautiful electric motorcycle brand called Tarfrom, which sounds like no other motorcycle out there. Jim interviews Keith about the most eclectic bike at the Quail, something that can only be described as an industrial copper chopper. And lastly, John interviews Ernest, the owner of Combat Motorcycles, about his muscle cafe on steroids bikes that have dna from Confederate Motorcycles.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring stories from our very first Misfits Rally out of the Hollister Hills SVRA park. The weather was perfect, the hills were in a super bloom, and everyone had an amazing time. We had dirt riding, ADV rides, mini bike trails, street rides, games and seminars. But what truly made it spectacular were the attendees who all came with high spirits and ready for a good time. Ranger Hanson came down and joined us for a live interview, and shared stories about what it takes to run a park the size of Hollister Hills, how it came to be a park and what kind of emergencies he gets to handle on a regular basis. Special thanks to Matt at Breaking Away Adventures for putting the whole thing together. It was a huge success, and we are all looking forward to next year's rally.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about the new formula for the right amount of bikes: N+S. That's right, every biker should consider adding a scooter to their arsenal. They are affordable, practical, better for the environment and fun. There's a wide array of scooters available too. From classic styling like the Vespa, comfortable touring like the Suzuki Burgman, manly and practical like the Honda Ruckus or just sexy as f**k like the Italjet Dragster. We give you all the reasons to consider adding a scooter (or modcycle) to your garage. With Liza, Stumpy John and Miss Emma.

Is this the golden age of motorcycles? Is there a difference between a rider and a biker? Is the Honda Elite 250 the best scooter ever made? Is the Suzuki RF900R the best looking sport bike of all time? Does a Harley sound like potato potato, or is it tomato tomato?

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are talking about cooking food. With our bikes. No, really. Our moto is Live to Ride, Ride to Eat, so what better way to do this than to cook the food while you ride. We've come up with a list of bikes and dishes that we think are good matches. are you willing to try any? Next up we are joined by champion racer Bubba Shobert. He's a three-time A.M.A. Grand National Champion from 1985 to 1987 and was AMA Superbike Champion in 1988 while riding for American Honda. In 1989 Shobert moved up to the Grand Prix world championship riding for Honda. Unfortunately, Shobert's Grand Prix career was cut short at the third race of the season, where he was involved in a terrible crash with Kevin Magee on the cool off lap after the race, wherein Shobert drove into the back of Magee's motorcycle. Magee had stopped his motorcycle in the middle of the track and was performing a rear-wheel "burnout". Eddie Lawson narrowly missed hitting Magee's bike after he and Shobert had just finished congratulating each other moments earlier and were not looking forward. Shobert suffered severe head injuries but was able to make a full recovery after months of rehabilitation. He never raced again, taking instead roles as manager in some teams of AMA Grand National dirt track . With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma and Bagel.

But even these can't stop all thieves. He explains what the difference is between types of locks, as well as the different qualities available. Next up, Liza has experienced her own traumatic experience, this time at the DMV taking the written test to renew her license. She gives a sample test to the group to see how they handle some of the trick questions you may get from the DMV.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we descend on the AimExpo in Las Vegas, and we sought out some of the coolest things we could find there. Emma talks to Jen and Chris, who are making some really cool base layers for women. https://justride5.com/ Jim talks to Charley from Forcite out of Australia, who are redefining the smart helmet category, and making it less complicated. https://www.forcitehelmets.com/en-us/ Craig found a great new website called Kickstands Up, where you can find every kind of motorcycle event going on near you. We love it and think you will too. https://www.kickstandsup.com/ Stumpy John learns more about Kove motorcycles out of China. They've already proven they are built well with three bikes that entered and finished the Dakar Rally. https://kovemoto.com/ And lastly, Emma swings by the Triumph booth and talks to Adam about what's new, when are the dirt bikes coming, and what else might we be seeing from Triumph soon. https://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/ Also, check out Adam's podcast https://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/for-the-ride/brand/podcast What a great time we had, and nobody was arrested.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Wendy and Ian, who just got the official recognition from Guinness of their new world record. They are both veterans of the Iron Butt rallies and long distance riding, but that wasn't hard enough. They wanted the ultimate long distance riding challenge; visiting all of the United States in alphabetical order. Think about that. Here's just the first 5 in order: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California. And because Ian was on a tourist visa from Australia, they would only have a few months to complete it. With months of planning and preparation, what could go wrong? How about emergency surgery, hitting a kangaroo whilst on the first half of the trip in Australia, cracking a frame in half and lightning storms to name a few. They share their stories and tricks to keeping their older bikes running like tops, and how they managed to not give up. They completed over 80,000 miles in the US alone, and almost 100,000 miles over all. With Liza, Miss Emma, Ray Ray, Scott, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you some very controversial topics. First up, there is a bill being pushed in Connecticut that says if you ride a motorcycle without a helmet and crash, then you automatically become an organ donor regardless of your wishes, religion or family. This can't be real, but in fact it is. Next up we talk about the electric motorcycles and e-bikes that have crossed the line and are faster than some of our smaller bikes, but fall through the cracks when it comes to licensing, registration and insurance. What is the solution? Then we talk about the announcement that California wants to ban chrome plating. What does this mean for the cruiser community? Who will it save and who will it hurt? Emma gives us a History Hole on the MZ motorcycles. You may never have heard of them, but I bet you've seen one and didn't know it. And lastly Liza drops a new game and the group called E-Bike, Super Villian or Big Pharma? Play along and see how you do. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by My Hart, fresh back from completing the Dakar Rally. This is no small feat, especially in the Malle category, which is the most challenging for competitors. This is where you have no support and have to maintain your own bike after a long day of riding. And taking the expense and skill it takes to compete, it's no surprise that this is the first year that any American finished the race in the Malle category. Way to go Mo! We've got so many questions for Mo, including Emma's probe into how you handle bodily functions out in the abyss of the Arabian desert. And we also manage to compare competing in the Dakar with our very own Naked Ride, which we also did this weekend. Next up we share our bike's DNA stories. How Austrian in a KTM really? How American is a Harley? And who's bike is 100% pure from it's country of origin? Listen and find out.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about the weather and how it doesn't stop the Misfits from going out riding to come to the garage. Rain or shine, the garage is open and shenanigans ensue. Everyone who came by got to try out Liza's new bike, the Amigo 125, which is a Honda Dax clone. So far the consensus is that it's a good buy for the money, and will provide some good stupid fun. Liza also got some more toy motorcycles, one of which is a limited edition Triumph Scrambler Bond Edition. This gets us talking about the Bond bikes, and rewatching the chase scenes from the Bond films. Some are hysterical and don't hold up over time, while others are still impressive to this day. Listen in and find out which are our favorites, and what we think the next Bond bike should be. And lastly we give an update on the Dakar Rally, and read listener emails. Don't buy flood bikes!

This week on our motorcycle podcast we share stories from our current stormageddon.

And also let us know if you're interested in the UK Moto Dream Tour. Next up, we talk about the worst trends from the two wheel world ever to come along. Some are steeped in culture and tradition like the Bosozoku and Mod scooters, some come from pushing the limits like wide tires and raked front ends, and some are just silly like the furry bikes from the stunter world. Let us know if there are any we missed and send us an email. And lastly we read listener emails.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about a bike that Emma is working on in her shop, a Hyosung Aquila GV650. Hyosung has been around in the US for over 15 years, but it seems they are rarely seen in the wild. These Korean bikes hit the market and then seemed to disappear. So how good or bad are they? Should you buy one? Listen and find out what we conclude about these cheap bikes. Next up Stumpy John presents to us 10 new bikes unveiled at EICMA this year, and we decide if we are excited about them in this game called Stumpy or Chumpy.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are going Italian baby! Cat McLeod is here to talk about the Misfits trip to Italy next year, and he's got some travel tips to make your trips better. In fact, we've had so many people interested in the trip that we're considering offering 2 trips! If you're interested, let us know what you prefer. https://bit.ly/3DJtQl8 Is there such a thing as a cheap Ducati? We searched the web and present our finds to Emma to see if anyone can find a real deal. Emma gives a History Hole on Benelli Motorcycles, which have a long history before the current bikes that we have now. They also make shotguns. Listen and learn.

We bring to you yet another wonderful history hole, this time about a part of the bike that many fear. That's right, it's valves. What does a valve do? How and why do you adjust them? Can you do it yourself? These questions and more will be answered. And as always, thank you to our Patreon supporters. We couldn't do it without you. With Emma and Liza

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are talking about the right to repair. With all the technology on new bikes, owners are not able to work on them. And with the software and tools being so expensive, anyone but a factory dealer may not be able to work on them either. Mike Sayre from the AMA join us to talk about this. Should people be able to work on their bike when the tech is so complicated that they may mess something up or disable safety features? This isn't new in many other industries like cell phones and tractors, but it's fairly new for motorcycles, and the AMA is making sure that bikes aren't being overlooked when legislation comes into play. Tying into this topic, we discuss paying for upgrades that your bike may already be equipped with. Zero has been doing this with their Cypher program, and now KTM has announced a similar system with the 2023 890 Adventure. So if your bike has heated grips or enhanced suspension settings from the factory, should you have to pay extra to unlock it? Or should it just be included in the base price? Is this a bonus for the frugal shopper? Or is it only an advantage to the manufacturer? Let us know what you think. Lastly, Bagel gives us a history hole on the Honda Monkey Bike, and we read listener emails. With Liza, Miss Emma, Patrick, Naked Jim and Bagel. www.facebook.com/groups/790404528666073 Get your tickets to our 500th episode live recording at www.eventbrite.com/e/motorcycles-m…ts-442515374397 And get your tickets to the RevSisters Moto Film Festival at revsisters.com/events/rsmff2022/ Thanks to our sponsor https://mimiandmoto.com/ www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by resto modder Max Sizemore. He's built some pretty cool bikes, taking stock superbikes and making them faster, lighter and better handling. He does this by getting the best suspension, brakes, engine mods and carbon fiber body parts he can find. So if money wasn't in the equation, what bike would you improve on? This leads Emma into a History Hole on the speed wars of the 90's, which may not have happened as lore has told us. Next up, Liza plays a game of Does It Turbo, and see's if Max and Emma can guess which bikes have been turboed. And lastly, Liza gives s ome movie reviews for some flicks you should check out.

Thanks so much for supporting us on Patreon. Our way of thanking you is to bring you exclusive tracks like this one. I'm sure you've heard of Royal Enfield, but maybe you didn't know how many cool things there are with this company. Like, did you know that the Enfield Bullet is the longest running bike in production of all time? And that Emma has a direct connection to this long running company. Listen and enjoy!

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza test rides the new Royal Enfield Scram 411. This is a great affordable option for any rider who prefers value over performance, and it looks good too. But why do people still comment on the lack of power on a budget bike? What do you expect on a bike that retails under $7K? And is there a cheap bike that delivers on price, performance and quality? They might be coming faster than you think, and you might be surprised where they are coming from. Next up, Liza has been stepping out on her Africa Twin, so before selling it, she decided to try couples counseling. Can the relationship be saved? And will it be the new Transalp that steals her heart? This leads Emma to do a History Hole on the Transalp that his actually been in production for decades, just not here in the states. And lastly we talk to our guests Josh, about his bikes, and Tori about her profession as an embalmer. This leads to all sorts of questions about preparing a body for a viewing and burial on their motorcycle. Ever wonder how they do it? Well, listen and find out.

This week on our motorcycle podcast, Award Winning Mike joins us to report on his trip to Italy with Cat McLeod of Leod Escapes. He fell in love with the sights, sounds and food of Italy, and the riding too. Right before the trip he had crashed and broken his thumb, but Mike doesn't let a little thing like a cast on his hand stop him from having the best motorcycle experience. Since we have a sex specialist in the room with us, Liza finds a way to turn it into a game. The Misfits come up with a sex position name, and then Kim Airs explains what that looks like and how it might work. Feel free to play along and let us know how it works out. Then Bagel gives us the history on the best selling motorcycle of all time, the Honda Super Cub. From carrying noodles to the nicest people, there's a lot of history you may not have known about these amazing little bikes.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza is back, and she's got stories from Pakistan. Relda and Erin join the group to share their perspectives on this action packed trip, as riders with little to no dirt experience. This place is truly an adventure lovers moto paradise, where everything has a certain element of danger. The little 150cc bikes they ride don't seem like an obvious choice, considering the high altitudes, water crossing, death roads, bridges and off roading they do, but somehow these little bikes get the job done. Big thanks to all of our Patreon supporters who funded the bike donated to the Shimshall Girls Hostel in Hunza, 80 girls will now have the chance to experience the one thing all of us love: motorcycles. We highly recommend this experience, and you can find out more about it here: https://adifferentagenda.com/ With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Relda, Brad, Marcus and Bagel.

There's some good tips there, and we hope to continue offering these classes. Next up our guest AJ wows us with tales from his recent adventure through Iceland. This is an amazing trip offered by Honda as part of the Honda Adventure Roads series.

We are joined by executive producer Jerry Deluca, who has been creating a new kind of motorcycle show. This is a motorcycle racing elimination competition with both amateurs and pros. They will be featuring the stories of the riders, and the racing community as well. We can't wait till next year when the series will be ready to view. We also discuss the war between the DMV, police, riders and the flood of cheap electric motorcycles and scooters that are becoming more common in big cities. Are they good for the rider community? Or are they bad. We aren't sure yet, but want to hear from you if you have an opinion.

Non stop barrel racing, every weird bike you can imagine, track time, trails in the woods, the largest moto swap meet, and the coolest people in the world all hanging out and having fun.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Christian Dutcher of Americade. This is a yearly motorcycle rally in Lake George, NY that has been going since 1983. He grew up working at Americade when he was a kid and his parents ran it, and then as an adult he came back to take over and put his own stamp on it. Once known as the touring rally, he's been making small changes to open it up to even more demographics, including women riders. So what does it take to run an event of this size? And what new features can we look forward to this year? Listen and find out. Next up we ask Emma to explain brakes to us. No I know they seem simple, but when you think about it, why are there so many different variations of pistons and sizes? What type of fluid is best? What upgrades can you make to your bike to improve you braking? Well let Emma tell you.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by 15 year old Hailey Thomas, daughter of BMW ambassador Shawn Thomas. She's got the keys to the kingdom. She's grown up on the back of her dad's bike on adventures, she's been given the best training you can get, and she's got all the best gear and a new BMW motorcycle. But is she riding for herself? Or is she riding because she knows it makes her dad happy? Or, is she just discovering who she is, and who she is meant to become; A true biker. One thing for sure is that the two of them have an incredible bond, one that is quite obvious in the relationship they have through texts. We take some of these texts and turn them into a game, which you can play along with. Next up, Shawn shares with us his latest career news, which includes representing BMW motorcycles at even more places and events, including the GS Trophy.

We talk about some of our favorite bikes, some interesting engines, and clever designs we discovered. Big thanks to Law Tigers for sponsoring Emma's booth, and giving us a base camp.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Gordon McCall, the director of motorsports at the Quail Lodge. He is responsible for bringing us the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, which we look forward to attending every year. Choppers, scooters, race bikes, vintage, mini bikes and even new electric bikes are all represented. But the thing that really makes this event special are the people. Everyone there wants to talk about motorcycles. They want to tell you about the restoration process on their Indian. Or they want to show you the details on their custom Baja race bike. Or maybe they want to tell you about the little Honda they've had since they were a kid. We talk to Gordon and hear his stories of his little Honda, why his mom gets the cool mom award, and what to expect at this year's Quail Motorcycle Gathering. And of course we have a game planned for him. Since he's been a judge at the Pebble Beach Car Classic, we figured he is uniquely qualified to play a round of Car or Motorcycle?

The One Moto Show is back, and it's bigger and better than ever! We've been going to this event for a few years and always look forward to it. The bikes, art, music, food, vendors and people are what make it unique in a way only Portland can do. But more than that, it's become something of a family reunion for us. Hanging out with old friends and new, deep diving into motorcycle mods with the builders, and getting to meet so many listeners is why we will keep coming back. We've got some cool interviews and insights for you, and hope we did our best to capture the true essence of this amazing event.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have a smorgasbord of topics we discuss. First up, Segway announced the new hydrogen electric hybrid motorcycle, and Emma has an opinion on why it's not going to be successful. Then Emma gives us a lesson in proper swearing, British style of course. Next up we take some biker quizzes, and discuss what should be included in our upcoming Ultimate Biker Quiz. Does the $500 project bike good deal still exist? Emma says no, and we all try to convince her it does. Send us your deal and see how it stacks up. We've got a new Tell Me Why-ee intro song, so of course we answer some questions. And surprise! We've got another Tell Me Why-ee song sent in by a listener. Stay to the end and hear the whole song. We are giving away $1000 cash to some worthy projects and products. Send us your nominations. Stumpy John has fallen out of love with his XT225, and is searching for his next dirt bike.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Mike, who found his groove on the race track, and then found the ground after high siding. He came away with his best time on the track, and also a broken wrist. Then we play a round of Tell Me Why, answering questions about burgers and being cool and such like that. Next up we discuss the future of motorcycles, the recumbant feet forward style of bikes like the Quasar and Gurney Alligator. But since this style has been tried over and over, yet each time fails, maybe this is just a bike of the past? You may even be surprised to find some current bikes on the market that take styling cues from these failed bikes. Liza makes a big announcement about our next $1000 contest. But this one everyone can be a part of. Send us your proposals for a crowdfunding idea that will make motorcycling better, and we may choose your idea to fund.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about a bike that came in to the shop for an assessment and possible new customer for Emma. There's a story to this bike that makes it seem pretty special, but is it true? And if it isn't, is it worth the money to resurrect? We discuss. Next up we are joined by Michael, Aaron and Legrand who are 3 of the founders of Super 73, an ebike and American lifestyle brand. We ask them about their beginnings, the successful Kickstarter campaign, and what magic sauce they used to rocket to success so fast. We also talk about their natural progression into electric motorcycles, and the announcement of the new 2023 C1X model. We are so impressed with it in fact, that one of the Misfits put's down a deposit for the new bike sight unseen. And of course Liza has to hit them with a game, called the Super 73 game of course. Listen to find out how well they do. and lastly we read listener emails and make some announcements.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about how to become a better rider. In our first story, we talk about a new guy named Michael, who's only been riding less than 6 months, and has already moved up to a Ducati. At first we thought he might just be another squid, but he came to learn how to maintain his bike, and he's already taken an advanced riding class. Way to go Michael. Next up we hear from Lila who spent their first day in the dirt riding with us. They took instruction well, rode well, and had an amazing time. We explain how dirt riding will actually make you a better street rider as well. John and Liza also took a turn riding Jim's new Honda CRF450RL, and give their opinions on it. Then we hear from Emma and Cat, who are leading the Dolomites tour later this year. They talk about different styles of classes they have taken, how it made them better riders, and how riding in another country can also improve your riding skills. Ray Ray tells us about a flat track school he recently took. Riding in circles on muddy dirt may be some people's nightmare, but Ray loved it and equates how doing so gives you even more tools in your riding skills bag. Award Winning Mike drops in, and helps us answer some emails, and probably puts himself in the doghouse doing so. Anyone got room for him on their couch? With Liza, Matt, Lila, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Cat, Patrick, Nak, Douglas, Brandon, Ray Ray, Mycah, Charley, Mike and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we tear down an engine to see what caused it to seize. This is a great way for people to learn not only about how an engine works, but also why we choose the tools we do for each specific task. Next up it's game time, and this time it's Mycah who is the game master. We play a game she calls Ride Own or Crush, where we pull the names of 3 bikes out of a bag, and have to decide which one goes in the garage, and which one goes to the crusher. Then we talk about military bikes, and if World War 3 breaks out, what would be the perfect bike for the job? We don't all agree on the bikes, but we do all agree that it should have a milk crate on the back. We get an update on the trips and events we are attending this year, and are looking forward to seeing you Misfits there wearing your new shirts. And then lastly we read listener emails, answer some questions, and share some top tips. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Charley, Mycah and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Greg, the owner of the Gilroy Motorcycle Center, which has plans to become the motorcycle superstore we need. The industry has changed a lot in the last decade, and especially the last 2 years. He tells us about the issues they had to deal with during Covid, and how they managed to grow into a new space nearly 5 times bigger. Can they become a staple in the community, and a ride destination like they hope? What will it take to reach that goal? Of course you can rely on the Misfits to give him some unsolicited advice and what they think he should do. https://www.gilroymotorcyclecenter.com We also put Greg and the Misfits to the test, when special guest Lynn calls in, and everyone has to guess what bike she rides based on answers to personal questions. Next up, John gives a recap of his trip to Daytona Bike Week, where he saw tons of races and interviewed some of the greats. Look for these interviews on our Youtube channel soon.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are talking about choppers. In fact, the chopper scene is alive a kicking in Japan, and our guests Will and Matt have captured it on film to share with the world. Their film, The Roost, interviews the builders, racers, painters and riders and delves into the scene and community, and captures the essence of what makes choppers so cool. We highly recommend checking it our here: https://www.theroostjapan.com/watch But it doesn't stop there. The Japanese are also responsible for one of the most interesting custom bike scenes called the Bosozoku. We try to explain what it's about and how it came about. Next up, Emma gives us a History Hole on the origins of choppers, and how the name came to be. Then Bagel shares with us the history of the chopper scooters, which in many ways mirrors the motorcycle chopper scene. And of course Liza throws in a game, Jeopardy style, all about choppers.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start out with some somber news. Ray-Ray was hit by a car and his bike totaled (second one in 3 months) and even though he's okay, there was a death involved. He came away from both accidents mostly intact, much in part to the gear that he wears. So we decided to go around the room and share with everyone the gear we love, and why we love it. Henry told us about a really cool site that lets you see the ratings of helmets, and we all tried it out. Pretty great resource. https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/ Next up we play a round of Ask Miss Emma the risque version. There's some good info here, and you might want to take notes. Then Stumpy John and Liza give a ride report, which brings up the question: when riding on a private road, what lie would you give if confronted by a local questioning why you are there? And lastly we read listener emails and give out some advice. With Liza, Nak, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Lila, Henry, Ray-Ray and Bagel.

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.

Iron Butts next week (The man is legendary, what can we say)and Liza spent the day chasing balls. But the real thing we're excited to talk about is the best motorcycle movie ever made. After 50 years, On Any Sunday still holds up. It was made at a time when lawn darts were a kids toy, and seat belts didn't exist. This film captures a time when safety was third, and fun was first, and it does it with humor and thrills. Todd Huffman (The John Penton Story) is here to share some stories, how he got involved with the movie, and what happened to all the kids on bmx bikes at the beginning. And if you love this film as much as we do, then hold onto your seat, because it's coming back to theaters baby! And you can be a film captain and bring it to a theater near you. Go tohttps://onanysunday50th.com/ to sign up. Next up, we talk to stunt Misfit Callum, who built a dumpster bike. What's that you say? Well, with help from friends, the electric motorcycle community, and some well timed dumpster diving, he built himself a running electric sport bike. It look great and rides great, and all in he only spend $3000. Good job Callum! And lastly, we answer some emails and hopefully give some good advice about radiators and cheap bikes. With Liza, Bagel and Callum. Send us an email at [email protected]. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

Big thanks to our special guests Nick and Caitlyn for making it happen. We give our honest opinions about this beast of a bike. And if you think this is the first foray HD has taken into the world of dirt riding, then Emma has a History Hole for you that will teach you a thing or two.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about what a wonderful weekend we had. The weather was perfect, lots of visitors to the garage, vehicles were bought and sold, there were rides, and cake. But it wasn't great for everyone. Especially for the 2 Suzuki riders who were both told by Emma that their engines were done. This can be heartbreaking news to hear, so Emma breaks it down and explains what went wrong. Liza and John had an amazing ride on dirt and pavement, and Liza falls in love with her 690 Enduro. Which brings us into the next topic of which bikes the Misfits have been wanting to try. Maybe it's an older bike that they've just never experienced, and for some it's the new Pan America which we want to be great. Evel Knievel poems are read, as well as some listener emails.

This gets us talking about the unwritten code of being a biker. Things to do and not do. Then we are joined by the Kelly family, who ride together, and hopefully wrench together. Paul has already gotten his wife and kids into motorcycle riding, but the next step is motorcycle wrenching. IN fact, he want to open up his space to anyone needing a place to wrench.

And can you actually control unruly people with a good stink eye? (the answer is yes). So listen in and enjoy, and hopefully you'll be inspired to share your space as well.

How about his wife, racer, team owner, crew chief and mom extraordinaire Melissa Paris? That's right, we've got a twofer for you. Josh and Melissa have had amazing careers in racing. We talk about how they got into riding, how they worked their way up into professional racing, and what comes next? They are both at a point in their careers where they've got so much to offer to the racing world. Melissa has her own racing team where she gives young talented riders the opportunity they need. She's also racing her own Royal Enfield in a program to get more women racing. Yep, you heard me. Royal Enfield. She's built a totally badass racing bike out of one. And Josh still finds himself on the track every opportunity he has, but when he's not racing, he's coaching and mentoring up and coming riders.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we get to talk to daredevil Debbie Lawler. When Debbie Lawler broke an Evel Knievel motorcycle-jumping record in February 1974, at the age of 21, the American press was riveted. While there had been a handful of women who raced motorcycles, there hadn’t been any female daredevils professionally jumping them—much less upstaging the brashest stunt rider of the era on national TV. Newspapers labeled her the “female Evel Knievel,” a “motorcycle madam” and “tigress on a cycle.” We talk to her about how she got into jumping, why she got out, and how awesome her dad was. With Liza, Miss Emma and Bagel. And big thanks to our stunt Misfits Mike and Chris. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits [email protected]

What do Evel Knievel, Captain America, Kenny Roberts and the Terminator have in common? In 2018 Emma, Michael and myself scored an interview with Gary Davis, the coolest guy you’ve probably never heard of. Gary was inducted into the AMA hall of fame for his career as a racer, daredevil and stuntman. In 1969 he raced alongside greats like Kenny Roberts and Gary Scott. In 1972 he beat Evil Knievel’s record by jumping 21 cars. But it wasn’t an ordinary jump. He did it with a a partner, both at the same time and passing each other in mid air only feet apart. He then became a stuntman in the movies and TV, doing all of Evel’s stunts in Viva Knievel and countless other spots. Next he became a stunt coordinator and 2nd Unit director on films like Terminator 2, Predator 2, Starsky and Hutch, and Torque. And in 2018 he was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame. He is still in the business today, as well as being a collector, a bike builder and all around cool guy. So take a listen and enjoy getting to know about Gary Davis and his amazing life.

This week on our motorcycle podcast, things are different. We are in the early stages of the Covid 19 pandemic, and we are yet to really comprehend how this is going to affect our lives. Events are being shut down left and right, and schools are closing. But in the middle of this uncertainty you can expect that we will continue to bring you stories from the two wheeled perspective, and this is something that can't be taken away from us. So it was especially awesome that our guest, Tom Medema of Rally for Rangers, still made the long ride to join us in studio and share his amazing story. This group is providing motorcycles to park rangers around the world to help them do their jobs protecting the land, animals and historical sites. But wait, it gets even better. Anyone can sign up and participate in this. In fact, you get to ride the bike on an epic adventure and then at the end, present your bike to one of these rangers. Really awesome what they are doing. https://rallyforrangers.org/ Next up we talk to former guest Tamar AKA Doctor Detroit. She's a working ER doctor, and calls from the hospital to give us the facts about Covid 19 as she knows it. And lastly we talk to Zach who was at Daytona Bike Week as the pandemic was being realized.

She also has a son who wants to ride, even after they were both hit by a car while riding when he was just 11 years old. We also get a ride report from Jim and Liza, who put the Africa Twins to the test with some highway, dirt and twisties all in one day.

The Misfits received an invitation from Honda to come down to their headquarters in S. Cali. So Emma and Liza headed down to LA for a weekend of fun.

But this was just the meeting point. Colin escorted us out of the building as we headed for the Honda museum. We drove a short distance to the museum, and walked into the lobby. This is where we started recording, so you can listen in as we open the doors and discover what lies within.

Liza and Jim went on an epic ride and managed to kill 1 ground squirrel apiece. Condolences to the squirrels families as well. Okay, now we can take it back up. Mikey 3 Times bought a new bike that he's going to customize and hopefully become Mikey 4 Times. Austin from Twistedroad.com has joined us to share all the updates and improvements that have been made since his last visit. Now you can find more bikes than ever in almost all the states (NY, what's thee deal?) and you can get better insurance to make sure you are well covered. Check it out at www.Twistedroad.com Zee has started a new group called Bunkabiker, where you can list or find places for fellow bikers to crash for the night (maybe crash is a bad choice for words for the biker community) Lastly we finish with listener emails and go 3 for 3 in answering them. Congrats to Wendy Crockett for being this year's Iron Butt Rally winner! Stay to the very end to hear our interview with Carlin Dunne from last year's Moto Bay Classic.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we're joined by listener JJ, who wrote in to tell us his story of escaping death. We thought it was so amazing, we invited him in to tell it in person. And he wouldn't be here to do so if it wasn't for his Spot Satellite GPS he received as a gift from his family. JJ also tells us about his '47 and '42 Harley restoration projects.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head on down to Carmel, CA for the Quail Motorcycle Gathering. This is a not to be missed event, and we go every year to meet cool people, see awesome bikes and get great interviews. We start off with Rob Dingman President and CEO of the AMA, and talk about Malcolm Smith and how the AMA will classify electric bikes in racing events. Then we talk with Jim Carducci, of Carducci Dual Sport Motorcycles. He made a Harley Baja Racer for Tony Gera, who will compete in the Iron Man event on this sweet bike. We all agree that this is a bike we'd love to kick a leg over some day. Next up is Stefano Benatti, GM of Energica Motorcycles. Fellow Misfit Brandon joins us to learn more about this first of many electric bike companies represented at the Quail this year. We checked out the Curtiss Motorcycles booth which included their new electric bike, and talked to CEO Matt Chambers about the transition from Confederate to Curtiss, and how their electric bike is truly different from anything else out there. Helite airbag vests were there too, so we stopped by to talk to Knute about their new airbag jackets, which give you no clue to the airbag hidden inside. I predict that this will be a common thing in most jackets to come. We stopped and talked to our friend Robb Talbott of the MotoTalbott museum. He shared some stories about some of his bikes on display, including a Montessa that was spared from the crusher and perfectly restored. Did you know there's a Canadian company making electric bikes? We didn't either until we saw them at the Quail, where we met Jean Pierre, president of Lito Motorcycles, who told us all about them.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are graced with the presence of her holy highness Liza, who was awarded the Friend of the AMA award and won't shut up about it. But first, we'd like to bring you a message from the Motorcycle Safety Council, and remind you kids to always wear your helmets. Kat P. the human lawn dart, gives us a crash report. If there was ever a case of a helmet making the difference between life and death, then this is it. We are so grateful that she was wearing all the right gear and was able to join us this weekend to talk about it. Next up we give a report on some of the highlights from this year's Quail Motorcycle Gathering, including the previous mentioned award. (I told you she wouldn't stop talking about it) Then we are joined by our guests Jess and Justin, who are traveling around the country with two small displacement bikes in tow, and are riding them around the cities they are visiting. What a great way to travel, but of course when you spend $1000 on two old bikes, you're going to expect some challenges. But that seems to just make it more fun for Justin. Lastly, we read emails, and answer some questions that may or may not be helpful. With Liza, Kat, Derrik, Nak, Bagel, Miss Emma, Jess, Justin, Naked Jim, Douglas and Kat P.

Then it's time for another Emma's History Hole. That's right friends, she's back! And this time she tells us all about the history of the Mods & Rockers. So get comfy for this one.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we find Liza alone at the garage with 2 broken Harleys. Listen to find out if she was any help at all.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza shares stories from her illegal dirt biking trip in the Santa Cruz mountains. Then we here from our guest, moto journalist Gabe Ets, Hokin. Have you ever thought that these journalists have it made in the shade, getting all the free stuff and going on amazing moto journeys? Well, that's partly true. Gabe shares stories from the road and behind the pen. We also somehow manage to get onto the subject of electric motorcycles. Don't know how that happened, but coincidentally Electric Terry always seems to be in the room. Speaking of Terry, he shares a frightening experience that happened to him today involving a crazy person. Then again, it's a blurry line as to who the crazy person is in this story. The one who attacked Terry? Or the one that rides around with a full grown husky on his tank? You be the judge. With Liza, Electric Terry, Bagel, Nak, Gabe, Henry and Jesse.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Shea and his fiancee Amanda. Shea got a crazy idea to set a speed record by building his own electric streamliner. How hard could it be? Well, apparently not too hard for Shea, because he's doing it. This thing will be fast. Maybe 300 mph fast. He's going to be testing it out this year to see what it can do, but in the meantime you can follow him on his youtube channel, Istagram and Facebook. We also share some stories from our recent visit to a Harley Davidson dealership, and what we're working on in the garage. Congratulations to Drew Faulkner for winning our Twistedroad.com contest.

They know how to put on a great event, with motorcycles, mini bike races, vendors, bands, art, food and beer trucks all in an industrial building that use to be a pickle factory.

We also hear from Zee, who's back to fill us in on her recovery as well. Turns out having your legs run over by a car can do some damage after all.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you another crash report. Our own Zee Traveler had a bad spill on the freeway, and her bike was totaled. She's recovering, but we wanted to discuss gear. We learn from Zee's crash that just because you're wearing your gear doesn't mean you're protected. We also talk about what happens to your bike when it gets towed away after an accident. Be careful, because this is a whole other area to be scammed in. We try out a new game where we ask Miss Emma anything at all, and see how well she can answer it. As you might guess, she had in depth knowledge on each and every subject. We finish up with listener emails, and one more crash story. Congratulations to this month's Patreon Prize Pack winner, James Snell. With Liza, Kelley, Miss Emma, Douglas, Henry and Naked Jim.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you a whole batch of good bad ideas. First up we talk about our bright idea to rewire the entire garage, and turn our old gas pump into the first DC charger for Zero motorcycles. Then we hear from our guest, journalist and author, Carmen Gentile. He was reporting on the war in Irag and took a rocket propelled grenade to the face. Miraculously he survived. He and a friend, photographer Nish Nalbandian, went back to Iraq and bought a Ural with a sidecar to travel around war torn Mosul. Next up we continue with the good bad ideas by announcing a new project we're going to build. Jim has a DR350 with a dead engine, and we decided it's time to turn it into an electric death bike. With the help of Brandon, Terry and others, we've got all the components to make this happen. Then Jim and Liza announce that they have purchased some electric mini bikes for doing stupid stuff on. Good idea or bad idea? Time will tell. Ural has announced that they are going to be releasing an electric version of their side car rig, and we all agree this is actually a good idea. Lastly, we finish with listener emails. With Liza, Nak, Naked Jim, Bagel, Miss Emma, Michael, Bex, Maruka and Brandon.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you one of the most attended d shit shows in a while. We packed them in deep. First we start with what we did today. Not much work got done, but we did have a surprise birthday party for listener Patrick. Unfortunately we can't afford the good strippers, so Liza did a dildo lap dance instead that is sure to give him cold sweats for weeks. Next up we give away some IMS tickets by calling listeners at home, and asking them a question. We were 6 for 6, so good job to the winners! We hear from AJ and Jesse, who are two travelers who've chosen life on the road with their bikes. How does someone support the lifestyle, and what drives them to it? Listen and find out. Then we hear from Brandon, who's preparing to race in the Baja 1000, one of the most grueling motorcycle races in the world. Oh yeah, he's going to do it on a Zero electric motorcycle.

Liza and Jim took a trip to LA to take in as much of the SoCal motorcycle culture as they could, conducting interviews along the way. This show features some of the highlights. They start with the Custom Revolution exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum where Paul D'Orleans has helped to curate an exhibit of custom bikes from around the world. And with the Petersen's know how in displaying vehicles in new and insightful ways, you can spend hours staring and taking in all the details in craftsmanship. They also explore the other motorcycles throughout the museum, getting stories along the way, and even getting access to the bikes in the vault not currently on display. Next they visit the Garage Company, brain child of builder and collector Yoshi Kosaka. This place is a museum and a custom bike building wonderland.
