Podcast 599: New ICE Engines and New Electric Bikes: Do We Care?

There's a new Ducati engine, and it doesn't have Desmodromic valves!!! Emma thinks Ducati is on the right path, and this engine is getting her excited. But there's also new engines from Honda and CF Moto. Does she care about these? We go down the list of new things recently announced, including new models from Zero, an Electric Royal Enfield, a fuel injected DRZ400, and a more powerful Vespa, and ask the group if they care and if so why. With Liza, Scott, Miss Emma, Zack, Josh and Bagel.

Podcast 598: Why Aren't Muscle Bikes More Popular?

Liza got a jeep and can't stop talking about it. But really, when you think about it, a Jeep is practically a motorcycle. You can easily work on them, and driving them gives you almost the same sensation as riding, with your hair in the wind and the smells of the outdoors. In fact, many Jeep owners are also riders, so the crossover makes sense. But here's a question that brings us to our topic tonight; muscle bikes. How many muscle car owners are also muscle bike owners? And why aren't muscle bikes more popular? We dive into the history and origins of muscle bikes, and Emma does a History Hole on the Harley Vrod. We also talk about what makes a bike a muscle bike, and which are our favorites. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Podcast 596: Off Road Riding Advocate Ed Stovin

Everyone is back from their trips, and the band is back together. Stumpy John and Naked Jim share stories from their trip to Moon Rocks Nevada OHV. They experienced everything from wide open desert to single track and river beds. Desert riding can bring a lot of fun and dangers both, but fortunately they had no issues. One thing for sure though, is that they have people like our guest Ed Stovin to thank for having access to these off road wonderlands. Ed has been working tirelessly as an off road advocate, gaining access to lands that weren't available, as well as fighting to keep access to parks and BLM land. It's a constant battle against environmentalists who'd rather just keep everyone out to protect the local environment, rather than educate and work with the off road groups to find a balance and appreciation for the wild. And in what could be considered the exact opposite of desert riding, Emma shares stories from her recent trip to Roma and Tuscanny on a Moto Guzzi. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel. https://sdorc.org/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew www.vintagerides.travel

Podcast 592: A Dog, a Bike and a Snowbird

This week we are joined by a surprise guest, Karam from Canada. It's about this time every year that the snowbirds descend from Canada down to our year round riding climate to see what our California roads have to offer. Karam is on such an adventure, but this one is different. He's riding a DR650 with all of his belongings and gear, and a Husky as well. Fortunately Scotty discovered him at a local grocery store, and invited him to come share his story. In fact, Douglas and Scotty have their own adventure to share, from their recent trip to the NoCal BDR. It usually takes 12 days to complete, so Scotty figured they could do it in 4. Unfortunately not everyone is as hardcore rider as Scotty is, so plans had to be pivoted. And lastly, we learn about some exciting motorcycle news, and read listener emails. With Liza, Scotty, Douglas, Miss Emma, Karam, Naked Jim and Bagel. https://www.instagram.com/develop_thy_soul/?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng%3D%3D Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew www.vintagerides.travel
