Podcast 583: Cool Things
It's been another great weekend full of good food, races, and kegs at the garage. Since it's the middle of summer and it's getting hot out there, we decided to cool you down by sharing Cool Things with you. From phone mounts to fire apps to a framed photo from On Any Sunday, we tell you what we currently think is cool.
Next up, it's game time! We play a game all about motorcycle world records. Play along and see how you do.
Have you ever tried balancing beads in your tires? We look at a new product, and try to decide if it's a good or bad idea for bikes.
Lastly, we read some listener emails and get a report on the CFMoto Ibex 450.
With Liza, Stumpy John, Jake 2.0, Oscar, Neil, Naked Jim, Bagel and Steph Yue.

Podcast 582: Off To The Races and Lorne's Lessons
This week we are off to the MotoAmerica races at Laguna Seca, and boy did we have a good time. Even if you don't follow racing, there something for everyone to enjoy. We did some test rides and Liza makes a bold prediction about a certain Chinese bike about to be released here. Eric and Liza did the "not a race" parade lap and managed to make some passes in the corkscrew. The weather was perfect, which made race watching extra fun, and the races were exciting as well. Check it out near you. https://www.motoamerica.com/
Listener Lorne drops in all the way from Maryland, sharing with us lessons he learned on his first big trip cross country. What could go wrong with no planning and a cheap bike? Check it out.
With Liza, Pablo, Stumpy John, Bao Bao, Eric, Lorne, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Podcast 581: Driven to Ride w/Mark Long
This week we are joined by Mark Long of the Driven to Ride Podcast. Mark may be the new kid on the block when it comes to motorcycle podcasts, but with years of experience in radio and podcasts, he knows what he's doing. He's diving into every aspect of the motorcycle culture, and through his guests, discovering everything this community has to offer. Check it out at https://www.driventoridepodcast.com/
Next up, John talk about racing. He gets into why you should be watching, who you should be watching, and where to watch.
Scooters. You should have one. Why don't you already have one? What are you waiting for? Go get a scooter. Not convinced? We try to convince Mark to get one, and maybe just maybe it'll work on you too. Lastly we read listener emails including more things you can find at the auto store.
With Liza, Stumpy John, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Podcast 580: What's In Neal's Noodle?
This week on our motorcycle podcast we dive into a few subjects, starting with a game called Parts From the Auto Store. Play along and let us know what we missed. Next up we hear from Neal in What's In Neal's Noodle. Neal presents to us that many bikers may actually be on the autistic spectrum, and he draws from his own experience in this conversation about neurodivergent riders.
We move onto Bagel who attended another scooter rally, and try to guess from the clues how many miles he rode this weekend. Last up, Liza makes an announcement and we read some listener emails.
With Liza, Stumpy John, Neal, Ray Ray, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Podcast 579: Pakistan, Moose, Bear and Slug Rockets
We're back from all of our trips, and have gathered in the studio for the first time in a month to share all of our stories. Liza, Stumpy John and Ray Ray made it back alive from Pakistan, and have stories about riding in landslides, a hospital visit, water crossings, and riding into the front of a truck.
Jim is back from his trip to Montana and Idaho on his new Tenere 700, and has stories of wildlife that will kill you, micro camping, and visiting Evel's grave. Also, Liza finds out that Robbie Knievel is dead.
Bagel is back from the Slug Rocket's scooter rally, and managed to have not one but two mishaps on the Vespa that could've left him stranded if not for ingenuity, luck and good friends.
With Liza, Douglas, Stumpy John, Craigzilla, Ray Ray, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Podcast 578: The Bikeriders w/Norman Reedus and Jeff Millburn
We bring to you this special episode dedicated to the new film the Bikeriders. It tells a fictional story inspired by the 1967 photo-book of the same name by Danny Lyon, depicting the lives of the Outlaws MC, a motorcycle club founded in McCook, Illinois. The film stars Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, and Norman Reedus. Jim and Mike sit down with Norman Reedus to talk about his role in the film as Funny Sunny, and find out what else he's been up to. Then they interview Jeff Millburn, who was the stunt coordinator and bike wrangler for the film. Mike points out that the bikes are just as much of a character in the film as any of the actors, and get lots of behind the scenes stories from Jeff about the filming, training and finding all of the period bikes. Check out the movie at a theater near you.
