Highside/Lowside - A Motorcycle Podcast

Hi Spurge and Zach. My name is Karolina and I love Highside/Lowside so much that I literally bought an iPhone just so I could leave this review (true story). This is hands-down my favorite motorcycle podcast. Zack, Spurgeon, and the crew consistently deliver the perfect mix of solid moto-knowledge, genuine passion, and the kind of banter that makes you feel like you’re part of the conversation. I ride a Ducati Scrambler Tribute Pro here in Sweden, and as an educator, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to explain things clearly and keep people engaged, which is probably why I appreciate Spurge’s high school teacher past so much (can totally tell he was the “cool teacher”). Zack’s sharp wit and deep moto-nerd knowledge always keep me learning and laughing at the same time. Honestly, your podcast has not only kept me sane during long commutes and wrenching sessions in the garage, but it has also inspired me to start looking into moving to the U.S. one day, just so I can be part of that incredible moto culture you all describe so well. Thanks for everything you do and hey, I wouldn’t say no to that free T-shirt either! Keep the rubber side down, folks.

Hi ya guys! Great show! The most entertaining episodes must be you dads and Alonso Bodden. Moving to N.C. to be with my love. I’m a Late blooming biker that have five kids of my own and will gain four more ☺️ Do they all deserve a dad that is safely clad when out and about on his Triumph? Of course! I’m a die hard believer in good safety gear even in those super hot Carolina summers. Not every rider is. Heck even the old guys ride around in T-shirts and shorts, many of them with the scars to prove their “Merca, Land of the Free” attitude. It ain’t pretty. What would be awesome is a Revzilla T-shirt to wear Over my jacket when riding 😁. Showing off your logo to have people wanting to sport something similar. Oh… and as my darling is riding pillion she just has to sport the same getup as Moi. Thanks for a great show!/Tom

Seven years ago I by chance found myself working at a really big motorcycle dealership in Sweden. I had no real experience with bikes, and found myself in dire need to quickly learn as much as possible about everything related to the topic. YouTube became my best friend and it was specifically all the videos from Revzilla and Motorcyclist Mag that caught my eye. No matter if it was Lemmy talking about exhausts for a Sportster or Zack and Ari racing modern scramblers where they really shouldn’t, I was instantly hooked. I can to this day still remember the first article on Common Thread that I read. Since this was right when Triumph released their new 900cc and 1200cc parallel twins for the first time, I stumbled upon Spurgeon and his Bonneville. His story of cross-country riding on that bike made a big impression on me. Working at a big dealership comes with similar perks as being a moto journalist, you really get to test out all the new toys and different kinds of riding. This combined with how varied the content from both Revzilla as well as what Zack and Ari have been putting out forever, it has made me someone who can get equally excited over riding a small Honda Monkey, a big Street Glide or something more exotic like a KTM/BMW/Triumph. I’ve been working in the industry ever since, and know that no matter what I will ride as long as it’s physically possible. I want to thank all of you for really jumpstarting my interest back in the day, and for continually putting out great infotainment. Living in a climate where you can’t feasibly ride for at least five months every year, your content really helps getting through these dark and cold periods.

Just put my bike up on the paddock stands, where it will be for the next coming 6 months due to snow, cold weather and crap like that (its hard to live in the european north). I’m so thankful Zak and Spurge is keeping me company in the garage where I just sit staring at my beautiful bike. A light and fun conversation between the two is the content more or less. Now please give me a shiny new T-shirt to keep me worm, it f*** freezing up here!
