    Podcast 577: From the Vaults: Stuntman Gary Davis

    Podcast 577: From the Vaults: Stuntman Gary Davis

    What do Evel Knievel, Captain America, Kenny Roberts and the Terminator have in common? In 2018 Emma, Michael and myself scored an interview with Gary Davis, the coolest guy you’ve probably never heard of. Gary was inducted into the AMA hall of fame for his career as a racer, daredevil and stuntman.
    In 1969 he raced alongside greats like Kenny Roberts and Gary Scott.
    In 1972 he beat Evil Knievel’s record by jumping 21 cars. But it wasn’t an ordinary jump. He did it with a a partner, both at the same time and passing each other in mid air only feet apart.
    He then became a stuntman in the movies and TV, doing all of Evel’s stunts in Viva Knievel and countless other spots.
    Next he became a stunt coordinator and 2nd Unit director on films like Terminator 2, Predator 2, Starsky and Hutch, and Torque.
    And in 2018 he was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame.
    He is still in the business today, as well as being a collector, a bike builder and all around cool guy. So take a listen and enjoy getting to know about Gary Davis and his amazing life.

    Liza and John are out of the country, so we decided to pull some of our favorite show out of the vaults, starting with Norman Reedus. This was a fun show to do, and we still get new listeners from Ride With Norman Reedus. Enjoy!

    Podcast 574: 8 Pistons and 8 Gears: Do We Care?

    Podcast 574: 8 Pistons and 8 Gears: Do We Care?

    This week on our show we have listeners Ed and Dave joining us from the middle of their cross country tour. They spent the weekend with the Misfits, riding through the redwoods and wrenching on bikes, and also had fun on the kiddie rides at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
    We introduce a new segment called Do We Care, where we introduce some recent motorcycle news, break it down, and decide if we care or not. Let us know what you care about. Next up Neil shares stories from his recent moto tour of Ireland, which started out wet and miserable, but quickly shaped up thanks to some fresh Guinness.
    With Liza, Ed, Stumpy John, Dave, Ray Ray, Neil, Douglas, Naked Jim and Bagel.

    Podcast 573: Alex Zurcher of Vintage Rides

    Podcast 573: Alex Zurcher of Vintage Rides

    This week on our podcast we are joined by the founder of Vintage Rides motorcycle tours, Alex Zurcher. He first started riding while seeking adventure in India, and fell in love not just with the Royal Enfield, but with exploring cultures found off the beaten path. He soon realized he wanted to share all of the authentic experiences he discovered, and Vintage Rides was born. 17 years later he offers this same style of moto adventure in 19 countries, and has become one of, if not the largest, motorcycle tour company. Wendy Crockett also joins us to share some more Vintage Rides experiences, and is available to answer any questions you might have.
    Jen and Matt from Utah share their Misfit for a weekend experience. From riding the Niken, wrenching at the garage, eating too many bakery treats, surviving the coastal fog and exploring a cave in a redwood tree, they had the full Santa Cruz experience.
    With Liza, Stumpy John, Jen, Matt, Naked Jim and Bagel.

    Podcast 572: Raindrops Keep Falling at the Quail

    Podcast 572: Raindrops Keep Falling at the Quail

    This week on our motorcycle podcast we head down to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, and everyone came away with damp knickers. Normally it would be from the amazing array of beautiful bikes, but this year it was the rain that got our undies wet. That still didn't stop us from having a good time and getting one good interview before the rain went sideways and everyone ran for cover.
    Fortunately the next day we were back to our usual sunny weather for the garage, and everyone was in better moods once the wrinkled genitalia returned to normal.
    Jim shares a story of a mission he was sent on from a listener, that turned into an amazing adventure and story. Then Emma shares a story of an unfortunate incident involving a poorly transported motorcycle on the back of a flatbed. This leads us to share our tip and tricks to safely securing your bike for transportation.
    With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Neil, Naked Jim, Steph Yue and Bagel.
