Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our podcast we are joined by author and adventurer Carla King. She's figured life out and makes a living as a writer and rider while traveling the world.

She shares some of her stories of riding a Ural around the US, and a Chang Jiang around China. You can find her books at www.carlaking.com and we also recommend signing up for her mailing list.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we invite listeners on who have some questions we think we can help them with.

But first, Liza talks about her favorite hobby: Crushing young men's dreams.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we reunite in the studio and share our updates and stories from recent adventures. First up, Jim got a new bike. He's finally ready for his big boy dirt bike, and he chose a 2022 Honda CRF450RL. Next up, Nak, Liza, Stumpy John and Bagel recall some crazy stories from this year's AMA Vintage Days. We saw the largest crowds ever, Pete tried to kill himself on a hill climb, then later in the burnout contest. John raced little girls on pit bikes and lost. Nak drank crappy beer, never left the campsite, and still had the time of his life. And Liza met some of her heroes, Dave Aldana and John Penton. Then Bagel recounts his trip out to Ohio, where he completed 4 Iron Butts. Yes, that's 4. He is one badass scooterist! Big shout out to all of the listeners who found us, said hi, and hung out with us. It really made the weekend even better then we could have dreamed.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have a smorgasbord of stories to share. First off, everyone shares their stories from the MotoAmerica and AHRMA races at Laguna Seca over the past two weekends. Both events were awesome, and with the addition of the vintage motocross at AHRMA, we will be looking forward to attending next years event. Stumpy John gives us a report on his ride to S. Dakota on Liza's KLR, and somewhat fittingly managed to give her bike a stump as well. Mike is looking at buying a pretty cool looking cafe racer project bike, and made the mistake of bringing it by the garage on the test ride. We then spent the next 30 minutes pointing out all the things wrong with the bike, and why he shouldn't buy it. Never the less, were pretty sure he bought it anyway..... Surprise guest Moin Khan dropped by and we find out what magical motocross haven he discovered in Santa Cruz. How did we not know about it!? He also tells everyone about the race tracks he's built in Pakistan, and what awesome toys he h

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about our recent outings to the races at Laguna Seca, Bagel is prepping for 3? 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

He will be completing the Cannonball on his electric motorcycle, which has never been done before as far as we can find. You can follow him at https://www.instagram.com/dcar70/?hl=en. And in honor of Diego's cross country trip, we play a little game called $1000 Cross Country Bike. Is this possible? Let Emma be the judge! Next up we talk about the Hondamatic 750 that came to the garage today. What exactly is a Hondamatic and how does that elastic trickery work you ask? Well, sit back and let Miss Emma tell you all about it, and learn why this technology died with this bike. And lastly we end with listener emails, and answer such questions as "Why is my crotch burning?" Okay, that one might have been made up, but we do answer some good questions. With Nak, Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and B

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are showing nothing but love for Harley Davidson motorcycles. We had the opportunity to play with the Pan America here at the garage, and try it out. 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. Next Bagel fills us in on HD's history with scooters. That's right, the Harley Topper is an actual thing. In fact, there's a second HD powered scooter that not many know about, made by Craig Vetter himself. Then of course Liza has to get in the game and share her love for HD's racing bike, the VR1000. This is a sexy beast with plenty of growl, that was a bigger part of the evolution of HD than most are aware. Then we get into listener emails, and talk about some of the most misunderstood bikes. And of course, the Livewire is included in the

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by guest Ryan from Feel Like A Pro, a company that supplies race ready Ninja 400's for rent at trackdays. He shares with us why the 400 is the perfect bike for the track, how much it costs, what tracks they cover, and what the future may hold. But first we hash out the top ten bikes list. Cleveland Moto and Noco Moto both took shots at making a better list, but with just a few tweaks, we think we still got it right. Then Liza introduces a new game called Wiki Leaks, which pits everyone against Emma in bike knowledge. I bet you can guess who won. Play along and see if you can do better.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head up to Portland, OR for the One Moto Show, and what a good time we had. This is the first moto event we've been to, and they managed to find a way to have a safe and fun event in the middle of another outbreak.
