50 minutes in and have not discussed anything but pricing and difference of mounts. I really hope the rest of the shows aren’t like this one. Incessant apologies for not having it together due to time of day during first hour. Who cares! Get to the topic. Twenty minutes on pricing of Dynojet product with nothing about Vance and Hines product, why? Thundermax explained more than Dynojet in first hour and not even part of show topic. Zero technical discussion about Vance and Hines in first hour at all except the name. Quit rambling. I know the show is ten years old but I’m learning about tuning and if not for my desire to learn from everywhere I would have moved on because frankly you sound like idiots on this show. This is the first time listening to LAB podcast and topic alone kept me listening. I hope other shows are more professional.

This use to be a great podcast. Until they focused on trying to maximize every dollar out of it. It’s 30 minutes of commercial before they even get into the actual topic. Waste of time.

20 minutes in and still nothing but ads and more ads and “ok, guys, we’re gonna get started” and then more ads. I don’t know if it was any good or not when they finally got to the topic because I gave up.

My goodness these guys yap way too much before even getting into the bike. We are here to hear about the bike not 25 minutes of your sponsors and stories in the beginning.

Good info on some programs. However, their jokes are dry (dad jokes) and opinions are biased. This is like an old man, dad show who try to be cool.

Ryan Ulacher is obviously a Harley-Davidson guy. The last two shows, as of this review, were evident of that. In talking about the Indian Motorcycle lineup for 2024, he knew absolutely nothing about them. In talking about the 2024 Harley-Davidson lineup, it was a completely different story. He tries to come across as unbiased, but all humans are biased. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We all like what we like. I’m not knocking him whatsoever for that. I would just suggest that the show get a true Indian Motorcycle enthusiast/rider on the show as a regular cohost, to balance it out. Then Ryan doesn’t have to worry with it. He can be the Harley guy that he is, without feeling like he’s stepping on the toes of the Indian fanbase. There would be a true Indian enthusiast on the show to talk Indian. It’s his podcast though. If that’s not what he wants it to be, I get it. Other than that, my only complaint is that that it takes too long to get into the subject of the show. I know bills have to be paid but the ads are excessive.

Love the YouTube channel, but these podcast episodes have gotten to the point where it is 50% advertisements and 50% actual content. Much harder to listen to than in the past!

Would be nice to get into topic quicker for sure. Long time listener enjoy the show and videos thanks for the entertainment and information makes the commute go much better. Thanks for all the hard work you put in.

Let me preface this by saying this is the 1st time I've ever bothered to write a review for a podcast and this is really for Ryan and crew more than anyone else, because I think they need to hear it. When I 1st found this podcast I thought "Finally! A real podcast about bikes and bikers"! These guys actually ride and know bikes. They even do some wrenching! In other words, my kind of people. They USED TO talk about bikes, and riding, and road trips, and clubs, and events, etc. etc. etc. It was fantastic! That being said, this podcast has gone completely off the cliff. No more talking about any of that stuff. Now, all you hear is what equipment Ryan uses, the products they sell, the videos they sell, and just about anything else NOT related to bikes or riding. In an hour and a half podcast, you'll be an hour in before motorcycles even come up! I wasted more than an hour listening to a discussion about covering work benches with metal!!! Huh??? If I wanted to listen about home improvement, I would find a home improvement podcast. I have dropped my rating of this show from 5 stars to 2. I keep hoping they will return to topics that matter to riders/bikers and quit trying to sell us everything, but I've almost given up and will likely be unsubscribing soon. Guys, I really like you all, but this is too much! Please return to actual biker talk. I don't want a Butt Buffer seat cusion and I couldn't possibly care less about what video and audio equipment Ryan bought last week, or how much it all cost him. I want to hear about road trips, places to go, new bikes you loved or hated and why, past or upcoming biker rallys, rides or events, riding tips (you have a lot of knowledge to pass on), things you saw or experienced on the road, people you met while riding, etc. There is a ton of content out there. Bring back the things we want to hear about! Best regards, Tim (Grunt) Defenders LE/MC

Maybe I’m expecting too much. I’m 9:29 into an episode and have heard nothing in the title subject, but a lot of some guys thinking the other guys funny, some advertisements and a pitch for the online store. I’ll look for interesting discussion elsewhere. NEXT……..
