    Wes has a great finger on the pulse of the motorcycle industry. The podcast is not overly long but wonderfully informative. He gives me many points to investigate on my own and perks my interest on future purchases. Thanks again.

  • Really Easy Podcast to Listen Too

    Listened to quite a few episodes now and I’ve really enjoyed it. I am one of the hosts of the HOG-POD UK and Ireland Podcast and find this one a really interesting listen. Defo worth a look, even as a huge Harley-Davidson fan myself!

  • A tough listen

    The guests are interesting and Wes asks decent questions, however we are here to listen to the story the guest has to tell and could have a little less from the interviewer. The 'News' portion could be improved if it did not sound like someone reading from a page. I have listened to most of the episodes for the content but the delivery could be polished a bit.

Eli Carver (Restorations Part 3)
Q: What's one piece of advice you would give to somebody who's interested in restoring, modifying, or building a motorcycle?

Ande suggested that it's important to honestly ask oneself why they are restoring the motorcycle, as having a clear purpose will help align expectations with the reality of the restoration process.
