Instead of electric motorcycle news for Episode 189, I wrote this rant about so-called e-bikes being marketed by companies like Sur-Ron. This mini-episode contains some strong language.

When you think of young riders doing what they can to build the sport and create a brand-new generation of riders, you should be thinking about Joanna Nguyen, who at 15 decided she wanted to ride and simply made it happen. The news looks at BMW, TVS,... more

When it comes to packing for an extended trip, you want to get advice from Staci Wilt, who started her touring life atop a Sportster. If she can live off that bike for a few weeks, so can you! Her career as a photographer, podcaster and more informs ... more

  • 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.
