| Episode 475 - Planning our Show in the South Sandwich Islands | 27 May 2026 | 01:24:15 | |
Hello boys and girls, Welcome to Episode 475 of The Motorcycle Men Podcast! Tonight, Ted, Tim, Chris, and Justin are back in the shed and ready to unleash another round of motorcycle talk, questionable insights, and the kind of laughter that only happens when four grown men pretend to run a professional show. We’re catching up on a whole lineup of recent interviews — from the creators of the rock opera Suzy the Cycle Witch, to ADV guru Bret Tkacs, to roadside‑oddity legend Doug Kirby, to Holly Duttera of Ohio Bike Week, and even Norm Kern from the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. If it’s got wheels, weirdness, or a story, we’ve talked to it. We’ll also dive into the National Days Calendar because apparently May is everything month: Paper Airplane Day, Blueberry Cheesecake Day, National Hamburger Month, National Barbecue Month, National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and even International Drum Month. Basically, if you can celebrate it, someone decided May was the time. Then it’s on to the stats — 468,879 downloads and counting. North America still leads the pack, Chicago is still our biggest U.S. city, and yes… we lost our listener in the South Sandwich Islands. But we picked up folks in Iceland, Bermuda, Cuba, Zimbabwe, and even Madagascar. The global weirdness continues. We’ll hit the BINIT, talk about Woody’s Ireland adventure, E15 fuel approvals, Harley‑Davidson products that aren’t motorcycles, and the Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge. So grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s talk about why these old Harleys still get under our skin and stay there. This is the Motorcycle Men Podcast — and the Cafe' is officially open.

Hello boys and girls, Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Bret Tkacs.

We’re going to dig into how he trains riders the way they naturally learn, why traditional training often falls short, and what makes his programs so transformative for riders at every level. Website

Hello boys and girls, Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Doug Kirby — one of the minds behind Roadside America, the legendary guide to the strange, the wonderful, the historic, the gigantic, the tiny, and the downright bizarre attractions scattered across the American landscape. Doug and the Roadside America team have spent decades documenting the unusual corners of the country — from giant fiberglass animals to mysterious monuments, from folk‑art masterpieces to the kind of oddball stops that make every road trip unforgettable. We’re going to talk about the history of Roadside America, how it all began, how they gather information, some of the most memorable attractions, and what’s coming next for the website, the app, and the future of roadside exploration.

| Episode 469 - What is it about Old Harley's? | 22 Apr 2026 | 01:27:31 | |
Hello boys and girls, Rolling into another round at the fictitious V‑Twin Café in beautiful Cranford, New Jersey, the whole crew — me, Tim, Chris, and Justin — pulled our stools up to the counter for a conversation that felt like slipping into a well‑worn leather jacket. Today we dove into the timeless pull of old Harley‑Davidsons: the Springers that still turn heads, the Sportsters that refuse to die, the Dynas that defined a generation, and all the other machines that made Milwaukee iron what it is. We weren’t alone at the counter, either. Joining us was Dave Ackerman, the man behind Tobacco Motorwear, bringing his own brand of moto wisdom, denim toughness, and love for the classics. So grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s talk about why these old Harleys still get under our skin and stay there. This is the Motorcycle Men Podcast — and the Cafe' is officially open.

Hello Boys and Girls, Rolling into today’s episode, we’ve got something a little special lined up. If you’ve spent any time wandering the backroads of YouTube or diving into the world of garage‑built moto culture, you’ve probably stumbled across the Tallboys and Trackmasters podcast — two riders who mix storytelling, wrench‑turning, and a healthy dose of “did we really just say that?” energy into every episode. These guys have carved out their own corner of the motorcycle universe, blending long‑form conversations with the kind of humor you only get from people who’ve logged real miles and real mistakes. They talk bikes, builds, beer, bad decisions, and the riders who make this whole community worth being part of. YouTube Please take the time and help the families of fallen soldiers.

| Episode 458 - 10-Years of Larry and The V-Twin Blog | 15 Jan 2026 | 00:53:15 | |
For ten years, The V‑Twin Blog has been the digital watering hole for riders who want news, gear talk, event coverage, and that unmistakable American V‑Twin rumble — without the social‑media nonsense and without anyone trying to sell them a miracle chrome polish. Larry started this thing back in 2016 with a simple mission: build a one‑stop shop for the everyday V‑Twin rider. Fast‑forward a decade and over 1.3 million visitors have wandered through his virtual doors. So today, we’re going to talk about how it all started, what’s surprised him, what’s broken, what’s been fixed with duct tape, and what keeps him writing after all these years. Grab a drink, settle in, and let’s welcome Larry from The V‑Twin Blog. YouTube Please take the time and help the families of fallen soldiers.

| Episode 457 - Talking with Film Maker John Putch | 06 Jan 2026 | 00:52:39 | |
Hello Boys and Girls, Joining me today on the Podcast, we’re taking a detour off the main highway and into the wonderfully odd, clever, and cinematic world of filmmaker John Putch. You know him from his long directing career, his indie gems like the Route 30 trilogy, and his decades of work in film and television — but today we’re zeroing in on something a little different: his hilarious, low‑budget‑on-purpose, high‑charm motorcycle videos on YouTube. These shorts blend road‑trip Americana, deadpan humor, and the kind of creative freedom only a rider with a camera and a mischievous streak can pull off. We’ll talk about the bikes, the destinations, the characters, the comedy, and the craft behind these deceptively simple moto films. So grab your helmet, settle in, and let’s roll into the world of PutchFilms. YouTube Please take the time and help the families of fallen soldiers.
