Motorcycles & Misfits

Time to dip into the archives for another favorite past episode.
Yuri Barrigan made his mark on the racing world when he set off to the Isle of Man Manx race with his two 400cc supermotos. Known as the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, you need balls of steel to even attempt it. And to do it on a supermoto? Titanium. And thanks to Yuri, supermotos are now banned at the Isle of Man. Yuri joined us back in 2015 to share his story of what it takes to race at the Isle of Man, and what it will take to go back again.

Back in 2017 we interviewed Carolynn Sells, and it’s still one of our favorite interviews today. And now in 2026 Liza is checking off a bucket list item, and will be riding alongside Carolynn and all of the other woman riders on the mountain course as they lead the Legacy Lap at the Isle of Man TT this summer.
Carolynn Sells is the only woman to win a solo race on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, an achievement that earned her a Guinness World Record. In 2009 she won the Ultralightweight Manx Grand Prix, and has been a fixture on the Isle of Man race scene ever since. You might find her behind the microphone interviewing racers now, but Carolynn’s history with racing goes way back. Growing up on the Isle, her dad began racing in the Manx Grand Prix when she was 12 years old and she was determined to get her own racing license. Enjoy this remastered retro interview with Carolynn Sells.
With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Yuri.

Craig and Chris from Pacific Motorcycle Training join us to see if the Misfits know their stuff. We are put through a knowledge test on advanced riding techniques, thus proving the point that any riders, no matter the experience, can benefit from further riding classes.
Scottie brings up the subject of e-bikes and training that's becoming available, which brings us to the question; should we add tiered licensing, and if so, what would the tiers be?
With Liza, Adrien, Stumpy John, Neal, Miss Emma, Craigzilla, Chris, Scottie, Naked Jim, Cat and Bagel.

Michael Uhlarik joins us again to talk about the state of the motorcycle industry, how the Chinese brands are going to fit, and fills us in on what really happened at Damon Motorcycles.
But first, we talk about what's been happening in the garage, how we lost an old friend, and why you should go ride the Lost Sierra.

In this rousing episode, we start with a segment called Fight Me! The Misfits take turns making declarative statements, and then challenge everyone to fight them if they disagree. There's a good chance you may be arguing back at your listening device, so send us your comments in an email.
Next up we review a bunch of items Liza bought on Ali Express. Not all of them are great, but some are pretty good and may get your attention. The interesting takeaway from this segment is that you don't always find the best deal on AliExpress, and that you may be buying the same item from someone else for a much higher price.
Lastly, we read listener emails and answer some questions.
With Liza, Neal, Charlie, Matt and Bagel.
