  • Podcast 648: Blood Bikes and Fake Trikes
    Louisa Swaden is back! You may remember her as a land speed racer and an author, but did you know she's also a Blood Bike Rider? These are volunteers who shuttle blood and other supplies between hospitals when it's needed fast. Using their bikes to weave through traffic, they deliver the supplies faster than any car or ambulance can. This leads us to a conversation about other types of service bikes; taxis, first responders, hearses, rangers, rickshaws and more. Let us know if we missed any. Next up we talk about the AI faked new Honda Goldwing Trike Camper that's been making it's way around social media and Youtube. Some of the versions are pretty wild, but some seem look like they just might could work. What do you think? And lastly we read listener emails and answer burning questions. With Liza, Louisa, Miss Emma, Neal, Hector and Bagel. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.breakingawayadventures.com/shop/p/mi…-rally-v4 www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ adifferentagenda.com/products/the-lost-tribe-25 motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

  • Podcast 647: KLE500 vs Ibex 450
    Kawasaki announced a new model, the KLE500, which slots perfectly into the same spot as the CFMoto Ibex 450. Both bikes fit a previously empty niche in the small adventure bike market, have solid motors, and are great bikes for the price (under $7k). So which one would you buy? We compare some of the stats and figures, coupled with Liza's assessment from her recent ride. One of the things that the Ibex does well is the chassis, making it a very stable ride for a 386lb bike. This leads Emma to talk a bit about the chassis, how the geometry works, and which ones have a reputation for being great. Stunt Misfit Bryce brings us an interview with Rosson from Austin Moto Adventures that he got while attending the TourTexas Rally last weekend. Lastly, we read listener emails and share some updates from previous shows.

  • Podcast 646: Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time
    Alex built a bio diesel Harley Davidson, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. He then decided to ride it from Vancouver, Canada to San Diego, California, and that seemed like a good idea at the time too. Many lessons were learned along the way, from the engine choice, matching the engine to the transmission, and so much more. Fortunately for us Alex found his way to our garage for some help, and instead got whisked into the studio to be a guest on our podcast. I mean, c'mon, how could we not want to talk about this? https://www.youtube.com/@alexbiomoto Staying with the theme, we talk about other motorcycles that had what we call design flaws. Among them are the KLR doohickey, the Vstrom oil filter, the Zero FX belt and so much more. Let us know what bikes you think have bad design flaws. And lastly, we read all of the emails from the Jason Awards. These are people's personal stories about overcoming adversity through motorcycles, and Emma announces which one will be receiving a prize package from her. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Alex and Naked Jim. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ adifferentagenda.com/products/the-lost-tribe-25 motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

  • Podcast 645: 145,000 Mile Record w/ Patrick Cornell
    145,000 miles in 145 days. Wow, just wow. Patrick 'Old Man' Cornell just set a new long distance riding record, not just by beating the old record of 100,000 miles, but adding in the previous record of 45,000 miles. When I heard this, I wondered what kind of superhuman could achieve this? How much planning did he do? How much luck did he have? But most importantly I wondered "Why?" Pat answers all those questions and more for us, but most importantly is the answer to the question "Why?"; to raise money for Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. Give a listen and join us on the journey with him. Oh, and also, Liza bought a new bike. With Liza, Stumpy John, Neal, Bagel, Chris and Michelle Comly. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576757769208 www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ adifferentagenda.com/products/the-lost-tribe-25 motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

  • Podcast 644: Father/Daughter Race Team w/John & Annie Cloonan
    To share your passion of motorcycles with friends is fun, but sharing your passion of motorcycle racing with your daughter is even better. Annie grew up watching her dad John race, and at a very early age asked when she could get her own bike. Through him she discovered the same passion for racing motorcycles as her dad, starting out on smaller bikes and working her way up to now, where she and her dad are racing on identical bikes. They have formed the Itty Bitty Racing Committee and travel together to racetracks, wrenching, riding and camping side by side. They have started their own podcast about their racing experiences, and you can find it here: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZvUISRuBTbC2MDxdH3nU7 With Liza, Miss Emma, Neal and Bagel. https://ittybittyracing.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ittybittyracing/ www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ adifferentagenda.com/products/the-lost-tribe-25 motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT
