    Podcast 604: Motorcycle Missions w/Krystal Hess

    Motorcycle Missions is an amazing non-profit that gives throttle therapy to veterans and first responders with PTSD. They do this by offering welding classes, dirtbiking lessons, bike building projects, track days, drag racing, accident scene management lessons and group trips to events like Sturgis, MotoGP and others. Krystal figured out that throttle therapy is wrenching, riding and community, and started to Motorcycle Missions to help others the same way she found relief through motorcycles. She joins us to share her own story, how she came to create Motorcycle Missions, and how it's now grown to events and builds around the country.

    Episode 603: Remembering Legends Mary McGee and Malcolm Smith

    Mary McGee and Malcolm Smith were racing pioneers and legends, and they both died a day apart last week, so we are dedicating this episode to them. You may have heard of Malcolm Smith due to him being featured in the greatest motorcycle film of all time, On Any Given Sunday, but chances are you hadn't heard of Mary until her recent death. Mary was a car racer, motorcycle road racer and off road motorcycle racer. She was the first woman to race in the AFM and FIM, and the first PERSON to ride solo in the grueling Baja 500. She was an amazing talent who was often discriminated as a women in a man's sport just because she was too good. Fortunately her story is being told in a new documentary called Motorcycle Mary, and we have filmmaker Haley Watson join us to share her experiences getting to know Mary, and some of the stories that didn't make the film. Check out Motorcycle Mary on Youtube and other streaming platforms. Malcolm Smith is the greatest motorcycle to have ever lived according to Liza, and she's willing to fight you over this. Smith won eight gold medals between 1966 and 1976 in the International Six Day Trial. The International Six Day Trials, a form of off-road motorcycle Olympics, is the oldest annual competition sanctioned by the FIM dating back to 1913. He was a five-time overall winner of the Baja 1000 (two on motorcycles and three on cars); a four-time winner of the Baja 500 (one in motorcycles and three in cars); has twice won the Mint 400 in Nevada and the Roof of Africa Rallye; finished fourth in the 1988 Paris–Dakar Rally on cars; and was the overall winner of the 1987 Atlas Rallye in Morocco. Both Mary and Malcolm were in the AMA Hall of Fame, and will be remembered for their infectious joy of riding, and inspiring people around the world.

    Episode 602: Trials Riding w/Bryce Pophal

    Trials riding is for everybody. The bikes are affordable and small, the risk of injury is low, anyone of any age or gender can compete and the skills make you a better dirt and street rider. Plus you can do it in the desert, the mountains or even your backyard. So why aren't more people riding trials bikes? Bryce from Conquer the West joins us to talk trials, the bikes, the rules, the challenges and the fun. Maybe you should consider trying it too! With Liza, Numbnuts Matt, Miss Emma, Scottie, Naked Jim and Bagel. https://www.ctwtrials.com/ https://breakingawayadventures.com/misfits-rally-vol-3 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

    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.

    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.
