Motorcycles & Misfits

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. Join us for our 500th Episode Party on Dec 3rd. https://tinyurl.com/tj6khtcn With Liza, Naked Jim, Stumpy John, Carla, Kim, Kelly, Mike and Bagel. www

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. recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.

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.
