  • Great for my motorcycle fix

    I’m a big fan of the podcast, it gives me my motorcycle fix while I’m driving in my car and I always come away with a new nugget of information I can use. The guys are smart and entertaining too so that doesn’t hurt.

  • Fun and intrigue

    TRO is lighthearted and serious all at once! The subjects are very “real world” to motorcyclists- heavily recommended!

  • Well produced and constantly evolving

    This is very niche and obviously independent yet the production sounds as professional as any other top rated show! The hosts are real and human, in this time of huge AI adoption, which fits because motorcycling is still a human activity. They get awesome guests and interviews and try to make topics useful.

    Thought this would be good to listen to but unable to download, so can’t give more than 1 star.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Boundaries
Q: Why did I feel safer on the freeway than on the streets?
The freeway offers a more consistent speed among vehicles, better sight lines, and less complex interactions compared to city traffic.
Boundaries
Q: Can I just order a new master link or does the whole chain need to be replaced again?
You can just order a new master link specific to your chain, and it is common to break a master link during installation without affecting the chain itself.
Boundaries
Q: Are there reasonably priced oversuits that provide solid abrasion resistance and are compatible with my Tech Air 5 Plasma Air Bag?
There are alternatives to jackets and riding jeans, like the Tourmaster Centurion, which is about $400 but offers good features for a lower price compared to more expensive options.
Mentorship, Community, Responsibility
Q: What's a good first bike?
Consider newer bikes for reliability and ease of maintenance; sit on and test out various options.
