We took the podcast OUTSIDE for this one 🌊🏍️It was too nice to sit in a studio, so we packed up the gear, rode down, and recorded this episode right at Ventura Harbor with Samuel — aka “Jesus and Harleys.” Good weather, Harleys parked nearby, and a real conversation about something people don’t always put together: God and motorcycle culture.A lot of folks think faith and the biker lifestyle are on opposite sides of the road… but for me as a believer, it’s actually the opposite. In this episode we dip our toe into how faith, freedom, brotherhood, and Harley culture can all live in the same lane.Super good talk, super good day, and I’m grateful Samuel came out to ride and hang with me.Looking for your next bike?Check out Ventura Harley-Davidson for new and pre-owned Harleys.If you’re ever involved in a motorcycle accident (we hope you never are),📞 Call Law Tigers — riders who represent riders.🔥 In This Episode:Recording a podcast at the beachFaith and Harley-Davidson cultureBrotherhood, freedom, and beliefBreaking the stereotype of bikers and religionRiding, life, and real conversationsIf you’re into Harley-Davidson, motorcycle lifestyle, biker culture, faith-based conversations, and real talk, this one’s for you.

The homies Colton and Sean put together a stunt day for the locals heads and the last one was such a great time that they couldnt wait to put the next one together. We made the rules of S-K-E-T-C-H on the spot and breakdown what the last Stunt Day was like. These guys do it for the love of the sport and for the people. See you September 22 at the Oxnard Stunt Lot!!!

I finally got the chance to sit down and bullshit with my brother and we dove into a bunch of stuff. He is a new father, recently married and has a lot of dirt on me that most dont. His wife joined us for a little bit and I enjoyed the shit talking she had in the chamber for my brother. This is a good listen.

The older I get the more I realize that Men's Mental Health is a real thing that a lot of men deal with that never speak about it. I went a little off brand this week and invited over a my homies, Mikey aka @1slowbagger33 and Kai aka @prodigythemechanic, to keep it real and talk like grown men. The first issue with Mens Mental Health is that its not talked about enough, and so i made it an obligation to speak on it during Mens Mental Health Awareness Month. Don't be silent about your struggles, its ok to reach out and we as men need to reach out to our friends more.

If you arent familiar with the name GP Suspension, you might be sleeping under a rock. Although new to the Harley Davidson community, they are not new to the suspension game. One of the best in the industry and i was honored to have them sit down with me and geek out about suspension and the history behind the company. Come kick it with us!

Our homies from LFR always put on a good show and this year was no different. Not a lot of podcasting went down because we were too busy having a good time! That girl Gogo stopped by the booth to talk about her 50 state completion.

A full recap of what our Arizona Bike Week trip was like and some of the crazy shit we got into. Jesse from No Fucks Given 420 dropped by and kicked it with us for this one. Enjoy this episode!

We aren't opposed to talking about the things happening within the Harley scene and this episode is no different. Ryan Kruesi called out Hale Speed on his shit talking and Hale Speed refused to put em up. If you are going to talk shit, you got to be ready to back it up. We give our opinion about this situation on this episode, like it or not, here it is! Enjoy this one!

We attended the annual Fishtailz Super Show and as expected it did not disappoint. We had some cool guests drop by and it was our first indoor convention center style of show, and we learned a lot. It was a great day with some great people! Enjoy this episode!

What you see on social media isn't always what it's made up to be in the Motorcycle Industry. There is a side to the industry that isn't always pretty.

Throttled Roots was brought in to set the vibe and energy for the event and we did exactly that. The event was held at Biggs Harley in San Marcos California and was the first of many events planned throughout the year with So Cal Rider Coalition. Always fun when we podcast at live events. Enjoy this episode!

Joe and I had a few beers and chopped it up about the new CVO Road Glide and the all new design. Harley is going in the right direction we have all been asking for and we break down what we think are the pros and cons of the new Road Glide.

Michael is keeping the old school tradition alive by continuing to bring to print Viclas from all over the world. He has a passion for all things related to 2 wheels but the Vicla scene is what he grew up around and loves. He is hosting the Fishtailz Magazine Supershow on March 16th in Ontario, and we will be in attendance. Make sure to get to show, you won't want to miss this one.

Chopperfest takes place in our backyard and it's the "Superbowl" for us in terms of venue in our backyard and coincidently it lands on Superbowl as well. This was the 20th year of Chopperfest and this year it was with heavy hearts that we lost the founder Dave "Huggy Beahr" Hansen. This year was a tribute to the man who started Chopperfest 20 years ago. We had some great guests drop by the podcast. Being live with the people at events is one of the best times we have.

The homie dropped by the garage to kick it and right before Chopperfest was about to kick off. Jesse has started his own clothing brand No Fucks Given Clothing, and we talked some business and some of the behind scenes of the industry. It's not always what it appears to be on screen, it takes a giant effort beyond the fun.

This is a heavy topic and one that is not taken lightly. We have a firm stance on behavior like this and recently, it was brought to the attention of the Harley motorcycle community, that a registered sex offender with a plea of guilty, was within our community. This subject is not taken lightly and it was important for us to take stance and make sure that the message is clear. There is a absolute zero tolerance in our community for that type of behavior and its is unexplainable. We felt it was important to use our platform to get the word out and have a serious discussion about it.

The homie Michael from Hale Speed dropped by and kicked it with us. You know that when Hale Speed is on the podcast, anything could happen, and this episode was nothing short of that. Make sure to subscribe to the podcast and check out previous episodes.

I extended my annual Ride 1k in a day invite and to my surprise, 5 joined me for the ride. Some had some expereince, others didnt know what they were in for and thats what makes these ride fun. We started in So Cal and headed to Arizona. Hang out with us and we recap the day and get the crazy story from Erik the Roofer.

Our homie Dave dropped by the podcast to drop some comedy about the Instagram motorcycle media and influencers. We laughed the entire episode and of course, the podcast had some technical difficulties and Dave let us have it, as he should have. This one will keep you laughing or piss you off, depends what side of the femnce you're on! Enjoy!!

Joe and i sat down with Daniel from Proper Baggers after he released his top 10 performance bagger list. As it always does the Instagram world had its opinion, so we got a chance to break this down and give our 2 cents on some of the bikes. Some of these bikes don't get ridden and that was discussed. The performance bagger scene has changed since its early days, and we got down to some brass tax about what it is today.

We got a bit rowdy for the 100th episode. It was our first time back in front of the mic for a minute and we had a lot to say and maybe some to drink. We had some previous guests drop in to congratulate us and catch up really quick. Let's just say "the shit don't stop" around here when the homies Roach(@2_fast_roach), Mikey(@1slowbagger33) show up for the 100th episode. Michael from Hale Speed dropped by for a few drinks and you're just going to have to listen to find out.

We met the homies from Madd Max Garage at the California Showoffs car show. They liked out vibe and invited us to provide the music and MC their event. It was blast and of course everyone who say down was fun. Enjoy this one!

Big Gabe made some ripples across the social media scene when he came out with his chopped "performance bagger" The moment I saw this bike I knew i had to talk to him. The intention and design for the bike was nothing what the internet thought it to be. Enjoy this one!

We were glad to be a part of the party at Born Free Cycles in Burbank California. Rally in the Alley was a great time with the live performance from Scattered Among the Ashes, great vendors and party that everyone enjoyed. Give them a follow on Instagram.

This is always a hot top and its because everyone has an opinion on the matter and its the world that we live in today. Some great guest joined us for this hot topic and we had some great conversation. Jace from the Fast Life Garage hung out for a bit, the homie Roach chimed in and offered some great words, Joe dropped in for a few and a few others guest had some good words to add to conversation. Enjoy this episode!

One of our favorite shows of the year and its right in our backyard. Unfortunately the rain decided to make an appearance this year and cut the show short but in true Throttled Roots fashion, we made the best of it and the show must go on! For those that braved Hurricane Hillary and showed up, much respect to you. We will see you next year! Enjoy this episode.

Its been a while since we jumped on the mic and it was a much needed and good damn time in the garage with Joe. In true Throttled Roots fashion, we didnt miss a beat and let the shit fly. We opened up about some of the stuff that has gone on behind the scenes with Throttled Roots, up coming shows and events and just a straight up bullshit session like we know how to do. Make sure to bang the play button and join in on the fun.

The 1upkrew is back and the shit talking was at its best for this one. The best podcast recently seems to be the live podcast from events and the kick back sessions with the homies in the garage and this was exactly that. Enjoy this episode!!

Podcasting at live events is always fun because you never know who the guest will be or what youre going to talk about. We had tattoo artist, motorcycle shop, guest in attendance at the show, business owners and more! Joe was setting the vibe and energy with the music all day and it was a good day. Enjoy this one!

Anthony and employee "Asian" came down for this one and like always, good conversation and good times in the garage. Anthony Auto Spa business has thrived over the last year and he is changing the game with his ceramic coating process. We talk some business, life and everything else in between.
