  • 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.

  • Might be good....

    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.

Corner by Corner
Q: What are the wear and tear differences between cable or hydraulic manual clutch, quick shift, and DCT transmissions?
Each has unique maintenance needs, with cables requiring more frequent adjustment and being easier to repair in the field. Hydraulic systems are often smoother but introduce complexity, yes quickshifters can help extend transmission life.
Corner by Corner
Q: Should I trust that the small dent in my rim is okay to ride on?
It's likely to be compromised and needs professional attention, and you shouldn't ride on it until you consult a specialist.
Responsible Misbehavior 101
Q: Robin, what's your grandma and motorcycle story, or do you have one? Or mom and motorcycle?
Long ago, I was over to a friend's house, and I had my motorcycle. We got to talk and her grandma said, I've never been on a motorcycle. She said, will you take me for a ride? I'm like, absolutely hell yes, I will take you for a ride, grandma.
Responsible Misbehavior 101
Q: What do you got?
First one is simple. So every freaking one, everybody asks this. There's a picture of a tire. Maybe it's a date code, maybe it's a tire, maybe it's a blurry whatever. Hey, are these tires safe to ride on? Probably not, or maybe they are. I don't know.
Mud, Sweat & Gears
Q: How do new riders improve their stopping technique?
They provided insights on using front and rear brakes progressively and checking bike mechanics to ensure stability while stopping.
