Thankfully not for everyone!

I asked my girlfriend to give listening to your podcasts a go the other day. There are so so many good first episodes to hit it off with and I chose a fun one, which she kinda listened to, but couldn’t get hooked on to the show. Then I thought, thankfully the competition to HS/LS t-shirts is doing it’s own natural selection! 😂

Oh how there’s this community of us who just love all things motorcycles. Anywho, I know who won’t ever know if you choose to read my review in one of your shows! 🌝👕👕

By the way, what first episode would you recommend a new HS/LS listener? Which one’s your favourite so far? I love all of them fyi.. 🙈

Revving Up with the to Two Bike Whisperers

Dear Zack and Spurgeon,

If life were a highway, stumbling upon your podcast would be like finding the smoothest stretch of asphalt on a winding mountain road—pure bliss. From the moment I hit play, I knew I was in for a ride unlike any other. Your dynamic duo is like the perfect blend of fuel and ignition, igniting a passion for motorcycles I never knew I had. Zack, your humor is as sharp as a well-tuned engine, while Spurgeon, your encyclopedic knowledge of all things two-wheeled is downright impressive. Together, you create an audio experience that’s not just entertaining, but downright addictive. Now, let’s talk about those references. Oh, Spurgeon, you sly devil—you had me upgrading my bike faster than you can say “Triumph Bonneville.” And let me tell you, every twist of the throttle on my new ride feels like a homage to the wisdom you’ve imparted. But beyond the laughs and the bike envy, there’s something special about your podcast that keeps me coming back for more. It’s the sense of community—the feeling that I’m sitting in a garage with two old friends, swapping stories and sharing a love for the open road. So here’s to you, Zack and Spurgeon, the dynamic duo of the motorcycle podcasting world. Thank you for the laughs, the knowledge, and the endless inspiration to keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

And hey, if a quirky review means I get my hands on one of those coveted podcast t-shirts, count me in. I’ll wear it with pride as I hit the road, knowing that I’m part of something truly special.

Keep the throttle twisted and the stories rolling.

Loads of love from a fellow biker from India,
Arun Moses

The right content, the right variety.

Thanks to Zak, Spurge and all the guests they've had on the show - it helps get a good blend in terms of depth of knowledge and variety of topics.
I like to hear (I usually listen to the podcast while I'm riding to work) the friendly banter between the 2 hosts - makes it more real for me.
t's nice to see that you've featured some international guests, especially Sagar who happens to live in the same city in India as me. This too adds to the variety in experience and perspectives.
If you've not done it already, could you cover some of the best and worst riding gear you've used in the past? I hope it's good enough to have "a whole other podcast" 😜
Cheers - keep up the great work.
