We dig into what they think makes a real performance bike, check out the latest from Professional Monkey, and as always, bring you all the two-wheeled bullshit we can squeeze into one episode.

Flea’s been layin’ down killer lines and custom paint since before most folks knew what a pinstripe was, and now he’s droppin’ a brand new line of custom paints that’s about to set the industry on fire. We get the inside scoop on his latest top-secret project with some of the biggest names in the custom world—let’s just say, this one’s gonna turn heads and rattle cages.

We’re also takin’ a trip back to Arizona Bike Week to give you the rundown on what went down—bikes, beers, burnout pits, and all the beautiful madness in between. Plus, as always, we’re callin’ out the B.S., talkin’ shop, and shootin’ it straight about all things two wheels.
