    Guilty pleasures

    GUILTY PLEASURES are things we might try to hide from our friends. "Not that there's anything wrong with that," they might say, but we don't want to hear it. But when it comes to actual guilt over sharing the things (like motorcycling) which bring us joy, Mark says it's smart to leave yourself some wiggle room.

    Getting what we ask for

    Timing

    TIMING: Both work and play deplete our energy reserves, so determining which is more important at any given time (and how to approach balancing one with the other) are critical to how we wend our way through our daily lives, both on and off the motorcycle.

    John Lloyd, Helmet Expert (roundtable discussion)

    Many of us put on our helmets every day to go ride, but we never really think about how effective they're going to be at preventing traumatic brain injuries. That appears to be all John Lloyd thinks about; after testing hundreds of helmets, he's arrived at some fairly startling conclusions. He relates his study in this discussion with Mark and Wes Fleming, host of the podcast Chasing the Horizon. (Note: This is a lightly edited version of the discussion, which can be heard in full on Chasing the Horizon Episode 162.)

    Dylan Code and the California Superbike School

    DYLAN CODE: Born into one of the most well-known rider families in the USA, Dylan has sought and found ways to balance his father Keith's legacy with his own quest for knowledge and perfection atop a motorcycle. From his beginnings as a boy to keeping CSS running smoothly, Dylan brings a lot of insight to the concept of motorcycle schools and how they can benefit all riders. Wes Fleming, host of Chasing the Horizon, joins Mark for this discussion with Dylan. Send your questions to us via email: podcast@bmwmoa.org.

    Won't vs. Can't

    WON'T VS. CAN'T: It's an age-old conundrum, and discussions of it often overlook the nuances and complexities of a given situation or set of circumstances. Whether you're parenting or riding a motorcycle, the distinction between won't and can't can (and often does) have important repercussions. Send your questions to us via email: podcast@bmwmoa.org.

    Same old same old?

    SAME OLD SAME OLD? An enthusiast has an entirely different perspective on whatever it is they're particularly excited about. It can often be difficult to share or express your enthusiasms with other people, but a little understanding can go a long way. Send your questions to us via email: podcast@bmwmoa.org.
