  • 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.

  • A cool laid-back motorcycle podcast

    Have been listening to the lowdown show for a few months now I’ll find the content very fun and enjoyable to listen to. I don’t take themselves too seriously and some good content of it would never normally expect.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Don't Shed a Tear for Indian
Q: Why was the sale framed as beneficial for Polaris from a financial perspective?
Because divesting Indian allowed Polaris to report higher earnings in the short term, improve EBITDA, and avoid the ongoing costs of maintaining an underperforming asset, while still positioning the brand for future value through a clean separation.
Don't Shed a Tear for Indian
Q: What did the campaign aim to achieve beyond the immediate brands involved?
The campaign targeted creating a splash to provoke a reaction that could shift market share, test emotional responses, and potentially reframe the discussion around motorcycling as a shrinking pool with room for strategic growth.
When A Motorcycle Manufacturer Gets Stuck In The Past
Q: What is a legacy brand, and is leaning on legacy always a good thing?
A legacy brand is one with a long history that shapes consumer perception; leaning on legacy can help by leveraging nostalgia and trust, but it can also hinder if it prevents adaptation to modern markets, technologies, and consumer preferences.
The Perfect Motorcycle For Surviving The Apocalypse
Q: What was the turning point that convinced you to stay with Rokon and push it forward despite early struggles?
The combination of stubborn vision, support from the market, and the recognition that customers were passionate about the product; reinvesting profits, rebuilding parts with American suppliers, and leveraging family involvement helped the company regain momentum.
The Perfect Motorcycle For Surviving The Apocalypse
Q: Was Robert Corpey, the gentleman who founded Rokon, the same person you eventually worked with?
No, Rokon was founded by Charlie Fine and later passed through different owners; my involvement began through connections and an opportunity that arose during the late 1980s, leading me to bid on the company and take the reins.
