  • Dynamic Ad Insetion

    The dynamically inserted ads for the Lowdown come straight from of the fɑscism network. Maybe I’ll resubscribe after the elections.

  • Needs some energy

    Mr. Graham, are you really complaining about rogue booth music at trade shows? Maybe consider a co-host or guest host who’s not so somber and apparently cranky.

    And by the way, the reason trade shows are weak should be obvious, the vendors don’t realize the benefit-cost compared to other newer communication methods. Did that topic really need a deep dive?

  • Gone downhill

    I’m not sure what’s going on but the show has gone completely down hill. Listening to the same two or three guests over and over pontificate about the motorcycle industry has nothing to do with adv riding.

    We aren’t taking a business class here. Interview real riders! About to unsubscribe. This show is actually putting me to sleep.

  • Occasional wrong episodes

    Really enjoy the pod, but *every so often* the title points to the wrong episode. For example, the Gregory Frazier title has the Lang Hindle exhaust audio, which is a repeat of the previous week. The episodes themselves are very insightful, which is the reason for five stars. 👍

  • Becoming a favourite pod.

    Intelligent calm delivery makes this interesting pod a real pleasure but why never thank the guest and conclude/sign off the episode, the abrupt ending is unsatisfying and always sounds like its cut out! Thanks though, enjoyed the Stoic rider very much.

"Cripples, Losers and Retirees" American Kids Sound off on Motorcyclists
Q: What did you find out?
The study found that many young non-riders associate motorcycles with older men, loud and disruptive bikes, or sport-bike riders seeking attention. Although some participants could imagine riding, 74 percent said their image of motorcycling was negative.
"Cripples, Losers and Retirees" American Kids Sound off on Motorcyclists
Q: Do focus groups run the same risk as showing my film to a group of people?
Uhlarik says they can. Product-focused groups may yield contradictory preferences or familiar, low-value observations, while decisions often use focus groups to reassure investors that a proposed product or film is worth the risk.
Tariffs, Taxes and Crooked Dealings—All At Your Local Dealership
Q: Tell me what it's like dealing with consumers at the moment in light of tariffs and pricing practices.
Most consumers have limited understanding of tariffs and price structures; many brands and dealers are navigating how to communicate costs such as freight and setup while maintaining trust, with some brands publishing upfront full pricing and others still using lower advertised prices with hidden add-ons.
Tariffs, Taxes and Crooked Dealings—All At Your Local Dealership
Q: Can you explain to me what a tariff is?
A tariff is a type of tax imposed on imported goods, which can affect the cost structure for dealers, manufacturers, and ultimately the consumer, as some of these costs are absorbed by brands or passed through along the supply chain.
America's Unknown World Champion Rides Like A Girl
Q: What are the main differences between Enduro GP, Six Days, and other disciplines?
Enduro GP combines multiple test types across a weekend, including cross tests and enduro tests, plus extreme tests; Six Days is two main test formats plus long transfer sections, while other events vary in terrain and emphasis, requiring a broad skill set.
