S03E20: #DoYouKnow Nick Ellis from The RPM Foundation
01 oct. 2024
01:23:04
In this episode, we sit down with Nick Ellis, the Executive Director of the RPM Foundation.
Obviously we're interested in what he's working on, but the RPM organization is doing some pretty critical work in preserving the rich heritage and skills needed to keep vintage cars and motorcycles going.
As the leader of this non-profit dedicated to advancing careers in vehicle restoration and preservation, Nick provides a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the classic car and motorcycle community and the sense of responsibility that comes with owning rare and (sometimes) valuable vehicles.
The RPM Foundation's mission centers around advocating for skilled trades and ensuring the next generation is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to keep these vintage machines on the road. Nick explains the foundation's focus on identifying and preserving "endangered skills" - specialized techniques and craftsmanship that are at risk of disappearing as older technicians retire and modern automotive technology advances. Through grant funding, apprenticeship programs, and hands-on educational initiatives, the RPM Foundation is working to bridge this gap and inspire young people to pursue careers in the automotive restoration and preservation fields. Nick shares insights into the challenges of engaging a generation that is increasingly disconnected from the hands-on, mechanical aspects of vehicle ownership and maintenance. We also discuss the profound personal and cultural significance of these vintage vehicles, and the transformative power of the experiences they can provide. The hosts and Nick explore stories that illustrate the sense of community, problem-solving, and personal growth that can emerge from tackling the unique challenges of classic car and motorcycle ownership.

S03E19: How to be a Buyer (without being annoying)
22 sept. 2024
01:24:18
Okey doke. Let's address the elefant in the room. When selling a car or motorcycle, the process can be grueling as the worst of humanity seems to seek you out. We don't think it's intentional, so we decided to aggregate some of our experience and take a chance that ONE person might hear this and maybe be just a little less terrible when hunting down a project.
Blaine and I have bought and sold more than we care to admit, and when it comes to these kinds of transactions, and we've learned a thing or two.
In this episode, Andy and Blaine dive deep into the art of buying a classic car or bike. From establishing rapport with sellers to bringing it home, they share some hard-earned wisdom on navigating the ads on Facebook and Craigslist with honor and transparency. We'll cover essential topics like negotiating prices, finalizing deals, and maintaining the right demeanor, even when faced with challenging situations.

Every Moto Morini eventually gets to know Paul Compton - his YouTube videos have kept many a 3 1/2 on the road, including mine. It took wrangling three time zones, but we got the chance to chat with Paul; mostly talked Morinis and making fun of the French. If he's not wrenching Italians, he's building Lotus EV's in his garage, nbd. Check out his channel at youtube.com/@EVguru.

We're taking a break for some editing, so this week you get a motorcycle ... poem?
Yep.
Known for their reliability and ease of maintenance, I've had a couple instances when an Airhead didn't disappoint. The most recent caused a bit of reflection. Don't worry, nothing too sappy. :)
Hope you enjoy.

The season finale of Season 2 of the Hole in the Head Moto Storytime Podcast is here.
After a series of conversations and coincidences, the Universe led us to find a dream bike and take it on an adventure.

Episode 2.8 - If nothing happens, nothing happens.
13 sept. 2020
00:45:53
This episode marks the final installment of my conversations with one of my closest friends and motorcycle accomplices - Blaine Dehmlow. And as this recurring chat about motorcycles produced an unexpected Moto Morini, why wouldn’t the conversation about its delivery produce an unexpected road trip?
*Sorry in advance for the insane amount of F-bombs in this episode. It was a rough week.
____________________
Any motoring story I have… started with a chat, and in retrospect, the adventure was an inevitable manifestation of a sometimes completely-unrelated conversation.
For this season of the Hole in the Head Podcast, I wanted to see if I could capture that evolution in real-ish time by setting aside some space every week with a guy I’ve known for nearly a decade now. Join me, Andy Taylor and one of my best friends Blaine Dehmlow as we talk trash and have some meandering heart-to-hearts about old cars and motorcycles, our families and how they all fit together.
…and eventually, accidentally build something out of nothing.

After an overdue inspection of the Morini, I report back to Blaine and get a decision. This episode feels like it was made by a couple hyper little kids - making the decision to acquire a motorcycle is just plain exciting. My only hope was that the bike wasn't a lemon. No pressure!

Every adventure starts with a conversation, and this one is well under way. In our last chat we were in awe about the universe’s master plan to fulfill Blaine’s lifelong goal of having a particularly collectible motorcycle, without the pre-requisite of my untimely demise. A passed-up BMW led to a purchased BMW led to space becoming available in my garage, which was promptly filled with a Moto Guzzi, which introduced a very attainable Moto Morini 3 1/2. But of course, that’s all irrelevant until he actually gets the bike….
Blaine is a little pouty again, but, with good reason. I dropped the ball and did not get over to see the Morini like I wanted to, but not to worry the guy hadn’t sold it, I was just having a particularly bummer week. Since before the pandemic, all the way back in 2019, my personal and professional spheres have been … hectic. I’ll spare the detail, but the long and short of it is - expending energy to chase something you don’t have any passion for is exhausting. And when it doesn’t go smoothly, living like a raw nerve isn’t pleasant for anyone.

This week's conversation was a turning point for our Pandemic Summer. A moment of Craigslist weakness for me leads to a new Guzzi project and a potential life-saver.
Blaine and I cover a few things: a pandemic purchase; the need for a buddy bike, a powerful universe and of course... some new Italian motorcycles.

For this season of the Hole in the Head Podcast, I wanted to see if I could capture that evolution in real-ish time by setting aside some space every week with a guy I’ve known for nearly a decade now. Join me, Andy Taylor and one of my best friends Blaine Dehmlow as we talk trash and have some meandering heart-to-hearts about old cars and motorcycles, our families and how they all fit together.
…and eventually, accidentally build something out of nothing.
The Hole in the Head Podcast is an ongoing conversation between Andy Taylor and Blaine Dehmlow. We’re regular guys who love all things vintage cars and motorcycles, but also building and mechanical projects of all kinds.
Some of our worst ideas often come to life as we find and fix old, weird projects, with or without the emotional support of our significant others. Join us as we chase vintage BMWs, old Studebaker pickups or clunky German watches.

Episode 2.3 - Persistent Germans and Other Generalizations
08 août 2020
00:48:48
This season of the podcast is an evolving conversation with one of my closest friends that ultimately results in a ridiculous endeavor, so I do suggest starting at the beginning.
In this session, the inevitability of adventure quietly expands. At this point in our recordings, Blaine and I no real ideas or scheme beyond just showing up, or really how this was going to be different than any other conversational podcast on any given topic. But you can’t connect dots that don’t exist, so we persevered, without any dictate of arc or motive beyond talking about some things that brought us a little joy. And if nothing else, we could just make fun of people who were very much like ourselves. So when an old topic returned from an unexpected direction, it seemed a coincidence, but it sets up a line of dominoes.

This season of the podcast is an evolving one, so if you haven’t heard the first episode yet, I suggest going back and starting there.
Last week I said that every adventure starts with a conversation - and with a certain point of view I can trace some pretty major events in my life back to a single comment or informal sidebar that seemed irrelevant at the time.
I once worked in an art gallery with a woman who also ran a yoga studio - she was the nicest person I’ve ever met, so I had no argument when she said I should give it a try. So I went to a few classes, was the only guy in the room and met this cute lady that I would eventually propose to in a hot air balloon in Turkey. I don’t want to overly proscribe some butterfly effect hooey, but the fact is one conversation an entirely new trajectory for my life. It’s a fact.
And as I revisit these sessions with Blaine in the editing process, it’s kind of amazing to hear the unscripted groundwork we were laying, oblivious to the universe’s order or randomness - whichever you prefer.
In our conversation this week, we cover some pretty disparate topics, but mostly make fun of my choices of words and use of business software. But as Blaine reveals what he thinks is a clever way to praise one of my fancier motorcycles, he writes a proverbial check, that we're eventually gonna have to cash.

The first season of the Storytime podcast was three episodes of scripted tales outlining some very life-sized motorcycle adventures. I’ve still got stories and some interviews that I want to share, but I’m not sure if the scripted audiobook format is appropriate at the moment. It’s a lot of looking back and remembering and frankly, more of an exercise in prose than adventuring.
And any story I have… started with a chat, and in retrospect, the adventure was the manifestation of the conversation that started it.
For most of my motoring adulthood, there have been a few guys who have either instigated or at least supported this ridiculous pursuit - and conversations with these guys often start around some dumb idea or shifting opinion, and they inevitably meander and evolve over a few more conversations into some dumb event we’ve somehow committed ourselves to.
For this season of Hole in the Head, I wanted to try and capture that evolution in real-ish time by setting aside some space every week with a guy I’ve known for nearly a decade now. My friend Blaine and I have been in the middle of a few nowheres - and we even used to do a podcast together in San Francisco called Safety Third.
When we started this project, I had no idea what it was going to be or where it would go. In fact, it’s still evolving. But, the meanders and non-sequiturs have taken root and begun a cascade of dominoes that lead to another adventure - this time, in the middle of a pandemic,
I hope you’ll join us as Blaine and I have some meandering heart-to-hearts about old cars and motorcycles, our families and how they all fit in our lives.
And please do forgive the audio for the first couple installments as we were sorting the technical bits of recording virtually.
Let’s see what happens…. I hope you stick around and enjoy Season 2 - "Everything is OK" from the Hole in the Head Moto Storytime Podcast.

This episode is about a motorcycle that’s had multiple lives, reincarnating a few times to bring joy to not just me, but to an entire community of riders and friends. From a garage fire in Northern California to the Bonneville Salt Flats.
I hope you enjoy this story of a unique bike and the guy that rode it flat out.
