In the "Throttle and Roast" podcast episode, Niels Meersschaert talks about how to shake up your motorcycle rides to keep things interesting. He suggests adding weekday rides to the usual weekend routine, trying out dirt roads on an adventure bike, exploring backroads instead of sticking to highways, and planning rides with a meal as the destination. Overnight trips like weekends, long weekends, or longer can add additional variety.  These ideas aim to add variety and excitement to your riding experience, making each ride feel different and enjoyable.

What are these three brewing methods?  Are cold coffee beverages only an option for summer?  What if you want to brew at home?  Is cold brew practical for every day?

Which technique do you prefer?  Are you only a hot coffee drinker year round?  Do you switch to iced coffee or cold brew in the summer months?  Have you tried cold brewing at home?  Text the show through the link in the show notes & I'll share your feedback in a future episode.

Lane Filtering has continued to expand where it is legal in the United States over the past decade. From just California in 2016, five states made lane filtering legal by the end of 2023. Colorado and Minnesota are joining those states to make lane filtering legal in 2024. With seven states now making lane filtering legal and several more considering it, have we finally hit the point of it no longer being a debate?

There is still much controversy about lane filtering. Advocates claim it reduces traffic and injury benefits, while critics disagree and say it is dangerous and startling to other motorists and more likely to cause accidents.

American Motorcyclist Association is in favor

You love the flavor & the experience of drinking coffee.  Maybe it’s good for you too?

In this episode of the Throttle & Roast podcast, the potential health benefits of drinking coffee are discussed.   We learn that coffee contains antioxidants and active substances that can reduce inflammation and protect against diseases. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease. Furthermore, regular coffee consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of developing diabetes, heart failure, certain cancers, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, depression, and strokes. There are also indications that coffee may aid in effective sugar processing and reduce the likelihood of cognitive decline. These findings suggest that drinking coffee in moderation may have positive impacts on overall health.

Of course, riding a motorcycle is also good for you.

While Asia leads the globe in using motorcycles for transportation, the US focuses mainly on leisure, with nearly half of all motorcyclists riding less than 1000 miles per year!

This episode of Throttle & Roast discusses the differences between leisure riding and transportation riding. It explores how riding habits vary by region, such as in Asia, Europe, and the United States. In Asia, motorcycles are commonly used for transportation due to their affordability, while in Europe, motorcycles are used for both leisure and commuting. In the United States, Harley-Davidson is a prominent brand, and many riders focus on leisure riding due to the availability of larger, more expensive bikes. The episode provides insights into the unique riding tendencies in each region and the factors that influence them.

Niels Meersschaert, the host of the Throttle and Roast podcast, delves into the intricate tradition of motorcycle waving in this episode. He discusses the origins of the wave, its significance in fostering camaraderie among riders, and the various hand gestures used for waving. The episode also explores the etiquette of waving, including when to wave and when it's acceptable to abstain, such as on multi-lane highways and during heavy traffic.
