Always a great podcast... Honestly haven't even listed yet as it just came out. I was shocked to see you are wrapping up season 12 while I'm anxiously waiting for season 11 episodes haha
After four years of working from home, I was in the market for a good commuter motorcycle. My main criteria were a bike that I wouldn't be heartbroken over if it sat in the rain, got tipped over, or was stolen.
I found a used Versys 650 for a good price. Having known the praises team Zila has said about the Versys, I decided to give it a try. After riding it for a few months I am now a convert of this bike. It really is as good as these knuckle heads say.
If they were right about the Versys 650... more
Thank you for the Tim Harris interview. I was 19 years away, and the first bike I acquired upon my return was a 1994 Ducati 900 Supersport, so of course I guessed the ‘name this engine noise’ right away. I also owned a 1995! Since then an 899 Panigale and an ST4. Now it’s the bike Tim rode around for practice, a 1200S Multistrada.
Keep up the good work!
Being 43 and just starting, this show has been great information and entertainment while stuck in a car going to and from work. I bought my scrambler 400x after seeing the ctxp trip in India, I thought if they can do that on one, surely it can do everything I could want. Keep up the great work.
Great show, to all my fellow GenX’rs but looking at you GenZ’s!
As a fellow returning rider, can confirm the honest and heartfelt account from Tim (the good, the challenges, the are-u-crazy- stares from others 😄)
Life happens! But it’s never late to start or come back to motorcycles.
So many great stories start with “once I went on a ride to…”
