If you haven’t listened to Motorcycles & Misfits you are missing out. It’s the best motorcycle podcast there is, covering all and sundry in the motorcycle world.
The group dynamic gives lots of insights but I am yet to hear anyone more knowledgeable than Miss Emma, and her inside stories on motorcycle mechanics and history are some of the best listening around.
Liza does a great job moderating the Podcast. Emma is quite the motorcycle historian. I listen while walking my dog. Keep up the great work!
What!? You don't know (or omitted), it unlawful to ride 3 or more abreast. Even 2 abreast requires acknowledgement from each.
Love Liza, miss Emma and the whole crew! You know it’s a good podcast when some of the best episodes are just them sitting around chewing the fat! Thanks for all y’all do!
