  • Like an old friend on a late-night ride

    I started this podcast journey back in April 2026 with Season 1, and what began as something to fill the silence during late-night parenting duties quickly became a treasured companion. Night after night, while pacing the house and trying to convince our then 15-month-old that sleep was, in fact, a brilliant idea, Spurg, Zack, Lance, and their fantastic lineup of guests kept me sane in the small hours.

    One of the unexpected joys has been following not just the stories from the road, but the sto... more

  • Timely episode!

    As a dad of 2, I really enjoyed the discussion on this episode. My oldest graduated from a small emoto type bike and got big enough for a 50cc dirt bike that he loves but is a bit leery of still.

    I purchased a Yamaha TTR 250 this summer to ride with him and lead him around our land to help him learn.

    I really appreciate the season coming back when it did, as I bought my dirt bike the day before having a vasectomy and was unable to ride it for a few weeks, then when I was able to, I ended up ha... more

  • Episode on E-motos is a must!

    Well done, a tip of my hat to all. Last episode on e-motos is a must. Your listeners now have a common-sense compass when venturing into the Wild West. Each question I had in my head during the episode on multiple topics - marketing, support, capabilities, price, legality - was covered. Your conversation about safety, responsibility, as well as kids gaining a healthy respect for the activity that comes with fun times, should be shouted from the rooftops to help families going down this path.

  • Motorcycle are Back Baby

    Love the show - you guys are getting me back into motorcycles.

    Is it possible / has anyone ever tried, to make a two for one bike (off-road/road) by simply changing the tires and wheels on a DR-Z4S. This way you can have both a Dualsport (DR-Z4S) and a Supermoto (DR-Z4SM) depending on the day.

    Seems like it’s best to purchase the DR-Z4S model, so you will have the stronger offroad suspension and just tighten up the suspension adjustments for the SM configuration days.

    Seems like the only... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S12E05: Harley-Davidson Sportster History & Evolution
Q: When did the Sportster move to a five-speed transmission and how did that change riding?
The shift to a five-speed transmission occurred in the late 80s (around 1988-1990), improving startup gear ratios and overall flexibility, which many hosts note as a significant milestone in making the bike more practical and competitive.
S12E04: Inside A Moto Dealership: Pricing, Warranties, Test Rides & More
Q: Do you allow test rides at your dealership?
Yes, test rides are allowed with proper prep and ensuring riders meet safety and licensing criteria; bikes are prepared and insured for demos.
S12E03: E-Motos: Massive Problem Or the Future of Motorcycling?
Q: What is an e-moto and how does it differ from an electric motorcycle or an e-bike?
An e-moto is typically a dirt-bike-forward electric vehicle that is often not street legal, lacks pedals, and may have limited or no formal dealer networks, whereas an electric motorcycle is street-legal with licensing and registration, and an e-bike has pedals and operates under bicycle regulations in many places.
S11E11: From NBA President to MSF Student: Returning to Motorcycles after 40 years
Q: What was it like getting back on a motorcycle after several decades?
