This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Steve Knoble of Knoble Moto. Steve has carved out a unique mechanic career by teaching others how to wrench. You can find his videos on FixMyHawg, Youtube, Udemy or you can learn in person if you're in the Cleveland area. Either way, he's going to feel good about his job at the end of the day. Empowering people through tools is a gift that we experience every Sunday, but he does it full time. We talk about the types of classes he offers, and why it's worth it to pay for his tutorials rather than filter through everything youtube has to offer. He also gets to teach kids how to fix motorcycles through MotogoCleveland. I just wish we has these in every part of the country. But first, Bagel starts us off by telling us about a new 3 wheeled electric scooter that may be a game changer. This English company is doing things different, and we hope to see it come stateside in the future. Lastly, we finish with listener emails. With Bagel, Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Neil and Naked Jim. https://knoblemoto.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew www.vintagerides.travel

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by resto modder Max Sizemore. He's built some pretty cool bikes, taking stock superbikes and making them faster, lighter and better handling. He does this by getting the best suspension, brakes, engine mods and carbon fiber body parts he can find. So if money wasn't in the equation, what bike would you improve on? This leads Emma into a History Hole on the speed wars of the 90's, which may not have happened as lore has told us.

Thanks so much for supporting us on Patreon. Our way of thanking you is to bring you exclusive tracks like this one. I'm sure you've heard of Royal Enfield, but maybe you didn't know how many cool things there are with this company. Like, did you know that the Enfield Bullet is the longest running bike in production of all time? And that Emma has a direct connection to this long running company. Listen and enjoy!

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza test rides the new Royal Enfield Scram 411. This is a great affordable option for any rider who prefers value over performance, and it looks good too. But why do people still comment on the lack of power on a budget bike? What do you expect on a bike that retails under $7K? And is there a cheap bike that delivers on price, performance and quality? They might be coming faster than you think, and you might be surprised where they are coming from. Next up, Liza has been stepping out on her Africa Twin, so before selling it, she decided to try couples counseling. Can the relationship be saved? And will it be the new Transalp that steals her heart? This leads Emma to do a History Hole on the Transalp that his actually been in production for decades, just not here in the states. And lastly we talk to our guests Josh, about his bikes, and Tori about her profession as an embalmer. This leads to all sorts of questions about preparing a body for a viewing and burial on their motorcycle. Ever wonder how they do it? Well, listen and find out. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Tori, Josh, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Since we have a sex specialist in the room with us, Liza finds a way to turn it into a game. The Misfits come up with a sex position name, and then Kim Airs explains what that looks like and how it might work. Feel free to play along and let us know how it works out.

Relda and Erin join the group to share their perspectives on this action packed trip, as riders with little to no dirt experience. This place is truly an adventure lovers moto paradise, where everything has a certain element of danger.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Gordon McCall, the director of motorsports at the Quail Lodge. He is responsible for bringing us the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, which we look forward to attending every year. Choppers, scooters, race bikes, vintage, mini bikes and even new electric bikes are all represented. But the thing that really makes this event special are the people. Everyone there wants to talk about motorcycles. They want to tell you about the restoration process on their Indian. Or they want to show you the details on their custom Baja race bike. Or maybe they want to tell you about the little Honda they've had since they were a kid. We talk to Gordon and hear his stories of his little Honda, why his mom gets the cool mom award, and what to expect at this year's Quail Motorcycle Gathering. And of course we have a game planned for him. Since he's been a judge at the Pebble Beach Car Classic, we figured he is uniquely qualified to play a round of Car or Motorcycle?

We've got a new Tell Me Why-ee intro song, so of course we answer some questions. And surprise! We've got another Tell Me Why-ee song sent in by a listener. Stay to the end and hear the whole song. We are giving away $1000 cash to some worthy projects and products. Send us your nominations. Stumpy John has fallen out of love with his XT225, and is searching for his next dirt bike.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we hear from Mike, who found his groove on the race track, and then found the ground after high siding. He came away with his best time on the track, and also a broken wrist. Then we play a round of Tell Me Why, answering questions about burgers and being cool and such like that. Next up we discuss the future of motorcycles, the recumbant feet forward style of bikes like the Quasar and Gurney Alligator. But since this style has been tried over and over, yet each time fails, maybe this is just a bike of the past? You may even be surprised to find some current bikes on the market that take styling cues from these failed bikes. Liza makes a big announcement about our next $1000 contest. But this one everyone can be a part of. Send us your proposals for a crowdfunding idea that will make motorcycling better, and we may choose your idea to fund. With Liza, Award Winning Mike, Miss Emma, Douglas, Nak and Bagel. https://adifferentagenda.com/tour/land-of-the-giants-stumpy/ adifferentagenda.com/tour/chickistan/ recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

We still haven't quite recovered from our jet lag, so here's one from the vaults. Back in 2016 we met this crazy British woman named Emma, who knew more about motorcycles than anyone else. With some smooth gin and promises of fame, we lured her into our trap to join the podcast, and the rest is history. Enjoy! www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about a bike that came in to the shop for an assessment and possible new customer for Emma. There's a story to this bike that makes it seem pretty special, but is it true? And if it isn't, is it worth the money to resurrect? We discuss. Next up we are joined by Michael, Aaron and Legrand who are 3 of the founders of Super 73, an ebike and American lifestyle brand. We ask them about their beginnings, the successful Kickstarter campaign, and what magic sauce they used to rocket to success so fast. We also talk about their natural progression into electric motorcycles, and the announcement of the new 2023 C1X model. We are so impressed with it in fact, that one of the Misfits put's down a deposit for the new bike sight unseen. And of course Liza has to hit them with a game, called the Super 73 game of course. Listen to find out how well they do. and lastly we read listener emails and make some announcements. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Douglas and Bagel. https://super73.com/ https://adifferentagenda.com/tour/land-of-the-giants-stumpy/ adifferentagenda.com/tour/chickistan/ recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about how to become a better rider. In our first story, we talk about a new guy named Michael, who's only been riding less than 6 months, and has already moved up to a Ducati. At first we thought he might just be another squid, but he came to learn how to maintain his bike, and he's already taken an advanced riding class. Way to go Michael. Next up we hear from Lila who spent their first day in the dirt riding with us. They took instruction well, rode well, and had an amazing time. We explain how dirt riding will actually make you a better street rider as well. John and Liza also took a turn riding Jim's new Honda CRF450RL, and give their opinions on it. Then we hear from Emma and Cat, who are leading the Dolomites tour later this year. They talk about different styles of classes they have taken, how it made them better riders, and how riding in another country can also improve your riding skills. Ray Ray tells us about a flat track school he recently took. Riding in circles on muddy dirt may be some people's nightmare, but Ray loved it and equates how doing so gives you even more tools in your riding skills bag. Award Winning Mike drops in, and helps us answer some emails, and probably puts himself in the doghouse doing so. Anyone got room for him on their couch? With Liza, Matt, Lila, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Cat, Patrick, Nak, Douglas, Brandon, Ray Ray, Mycah, Charley, Mike and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we tear down an engine to see what caused it to seize. This is a great way for people to learn not only about how an engine works, but also why we choose the tools we do for each specific task. Next up it's game time, and this time it's Mycah who is the game master. We play a game she calls Ride Own or Crush, where we pull the names of 3 bikes out of a bag, and have to decide which one goes in the garage, and which one goes to the crusher. Then we talk about military bikes, and if World War 3 breaks out, what would be the perfect bike for the job? We don't all agree on the bikes, but we do all agree that it should have a milk crate on the back. We get an update on the trips and events we are attending this year, and are looking forward to seeing you Misfits there wearing your new shirts. And then lastly we read listener emails, answer some questions, and share some top tips. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Charley, Mycah and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Greg, the owner of the Gilroy Motorcycle Center, which has plans to become the motorcycle superstore we need. The industry has changed a lot in the last decade, and especially the last 2 years. He tells us about the issues they had to deal with during Covid, and how they managed to grow into a new space nearly 5 times bigger. Can they become a staple in the community, and a ride destination like they hope? What will it take to reach that goal? Of course you can rely on the Misfits to give him some unsolicited advice and what they think he should do. https://www.gilroymotorcyclecenter.com We also put Greg and the Misfits to the test, when special guest Lynn calls in, and everyone has to guess what bike she rides based on answers to personal questions. Next up, John gives a recap of his trip to Daytona Bike Week, where he saw tons of races and interviewed some of the greats. Look for these interviews on our Youtube channel soon. And lastly, we read listener emails and thank all of our guests for joining us.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are talking about choppers. In fact, the chopper scene is alive a kicking in Japan, and our guests Will and Matt have captured it on film to share with the world. Their film, The Roost, interviews the builders, racers, painters and riders and delves into the scene and community, and captures the essence of what makes choppers so cool. We highly recommend checking it our here: https://www.theroostjapan.com/watch But it doesn't stop there. The Japanese are also responsible for one of the most interesting custom bike scenes called the Bosozoku. We try to explain what it's about and how it came about. Next up, Emma gives us a History Hole on the origins of choppers, and how the name came to be. Then Bagel shares with us the history of the chopper scooters, which in many ways mirrors the motorcycle chopper scene. And of course Liza throws in a game, Jeopardy style, all about choppers.

Jim had another amazing dirt biking trip in the desert, and this time there were guns and flaming tires on the hill climb. Liza and the gang drop their knowledge in a segment we call Ancient Biker Wisdom.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we here from Henry who crashed again and Liza and John, who joined the "had a gun pointed at me on my motorcycle" club. In both cases, no one was hurt, except for maybe a few pairs of underwear. Junky Turdman from the Creative Riding Podcast joins us for a round of Debate Club. This one is called Motorcycle or Scooter, and they debate which category certain ambiguous models fit into. Cat McLeod from Leod Escapes has also joined us in studio to make a big announcement: A tour through the Italian Alps with Cat, Miss Emma and maybe some more Misfits.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start out with some somber news. Ray-Ray was hit by a car and his bike totaled (second one in 3 months) and even though he's okay, there was a death involved. He came away from both accidents mostly intact, much in part to the gear that he wears. So we decided to go around the room and share with everyone the gear we love, and why we love it. Henry told us about a really cool site that lets you see the ratings of helmets, and we all tried it out. Pretty great resource. https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/ Next up we play a round of Ask Miss Emma the risque version. There's some good info here, and you might want to take notes. Then Stumpy John and Liza give a ride report, which brings up the question: when riding on a private road, what lie would you give if confronted by a local questioning why you are there? And lastly we read listener emails and give out some advice. With Liza, Nak, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Lila, Henry, Ray-Ray and Bagel. recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have a lively crowd ready to recap our two most recent events.

Congrats to Sam and Matt, who decided to split the prize, and to Evan for giving us the best performance. Next up we talk about the Naked Ride, where many of our own Misfits participated in a night time ride around Santa Cruz wearing nothing but helmets and boots. Woohoo! We also get to know Jaime, talk about donated gear, and read listener emails.

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. www.vintagerides.travel www.adifferentagenda.com/ www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have freshly returned from the AimExpo in Las Vegas, where we made new friends and had a great time. We share some of our highlights and stories, including a conversation with the DID guys as to which is the better master link. Rivet or clip style? Then Liza shows off her new fake Klim gloves from Ali express, and we compare them to the real version that she also has. Listen to find out what we think of them. Next up we find out how to empty the capacitors on a Vespa, and how and why you would ever want to do it in the first place. Vlogger Rosie Gabrielle joins us via Zoom to share her stories of moto travelling alone through multiple continents and countries. To do this, you either have to be extremely capable and self confident, or you just need to trust that the people you meet along the way will help you when you need, and keep you going on your journey. She has a lifetime of dealing with chronic pain and depression, and found that through her moto travels she was able to heal the unhealable. It's truly amazing what she has accomplished and overcome, and how much of it she shares in her vlogs. She also tells us about falling in love twice on her latest journey, to a man and a country.

There's been lots of changes and new features on this motorcycle rental website, and we had the pleasure of taking advantage of one of them. More and more dealerships are signing up with Twisted Road, which means we were able to pick up 2 Indians and 2 Triumphs at one location, and take them for an all day ride to put them through their paces. We share our ride report, our feedback and ideas on the Twisted Road experience, as well as reviews of the bikes we chose to ride. Next up we hit Emma with a Tell Me Why question, which is why aren't there more motorcycle brands coming our of Germany? And lastly, we read some announcements and listener emails.
