We talk about the weekend and discuss challenges from this season: bike builds, mental hurdles, jumping out of the comfort zone, chasing lap times, and more!

    Dirt First: The Ultimate Safety Gear with MotoVentures [S2 E45]

    Motorcycling is a game of risk management, but for many, the stakes are higher than they realize. With motocross cited as one of the most dangerous sports for children and off-road riding accounting for a staggering number of preventable injuries, the question isn't just how we ride, but how we learn. Studies show that professional coaching can slash injury risk by up to 60%, yet many dirt riders still rely on "trial and error." In this episode, I talk with Andre, owner and operator of MotoVentures, to discover the how and why of the Dirt First curriculum that his father developed to help riders with bike handling, providing the ultimate "safety gear" every rider is missing.

    Dachner vs Landers: A deeper look into the lawsuit against Rocco Landers {S2 E43]

    Hi All, I did my best to report on actual news (yey?). Although I did my best, I wasn’t able to convince Mr Flyer, Dachner’s attorney, to join the podcast conversation. I spoke with Michael Gougis, fellow journalist and motorcycle rider (racer & test rider) to talk the basics about lawsuits and similar cases. I then spoke with Mr Assanti to find out details behind his claims from the Roadracing World Article and the reality they face with this trial. Finally, I spoke with a third party attorney, Scott Adrian, to talk about leftover questions and discuss some of the things from the plaintiff’s claims. I am not choosing a side, but I represent motorcycle enthusiasts when I say:  we shouldn’t be suing one another for track incidents that are bound to happen. It sucks, actually quite a bit, since Dachner had a medical injury. But it also sucks to have bad sportsmanship. I’m hoping this continues the conversation towards a future we can all enjoy to the capacity that we are able. Should racers be separated from regular track days or grouped separately from hobby riders? Should we advocate for riders insurance on track? Should we advocate for tracks to recognize users by lap times to help prevent collisions like this from happening? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

    Motorcycle Movies Part 1: The fast and the frustrated [S2 E42]

    Everyone likes a good movie, for entertainment, excitement, and exposure to new ideas. Several pieces of cinema caught my attention for their portrayal of motorcycle culture and although this podcast only covers three of them, I have a few more in my pocket for another episode. Enjoy a conversation about three iconic motorcycle movies. The Bikeriders (2023) The movie starts in Chicago in 1965, following the story of Kathy, a woman who gets involved with a motorcycle club. Benny is her love interest and she quickly learns the "bike life" in this club is harsh, strict, and merciless - albeit, if the order and respect required to hold the club together starts to waiver. Several fights brake out in the movie, people die, judgements are passed, and folks ride without helmets... the good old days... Stream on Amazon Prime or Peacock TV. Biker Boyz (2003) Two decades before The Bikeriders released, but 40 years after in history, Biker Boys features club life from a different angle. The movie starts with a scene of how Kid (protagonist) loses his father, Slick Will, in a motorcycle accident. Slick Will is the mechanic for the club leader, Smoke or "King Smoke". The movie follows the growth of Kid alongside his friends, showcasing what street drag racing was like in SoCal in the early 2000s. Tattoos, racing on a bet, hard-to-get love interests, and the founding of a rookie club the "Biker Boys".... Stream on Amazon Prime. One Fast Move (2024) The movie sets up the main character, Wes, as an ex-military personnel who got dishonorably discharged for squid crimes. Faced with rough employment prospects, he decides to be a pro motorcycle racer. He goes to EchoPark Speedway looking for his father, who he knows road races and gets told some harsh truths. His journey to race as a pro is told over the course of the following 75 minutes. Unlimited (free(?)) track time, flirting with the diner waitress, going faster and harder all the time, and a series of questionable decisions... Stream on Amazon Prime. ...................................................... Follow⁠ ⁠@monki.moto⁠ on Instagram⁠ ............................
