Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are back on the zoom format due to the rise in Covid numbers. But that doesn't stop us from having a fun time. And since the pandemic, prices from motorcycles have gone crazy. It's really hard to gauge the true value of something, but that's exactly what the Misfits will attempt to do. Play along and see how you do. We also talk about the California wildfires, scooter options for John's wife, Liza's big bike crisis, and the Vincent that Emma just worked on. We also read listener emails and attempt to answer some questions. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

He's finally ready for his big boy dirt bike, and he chose a 2022 Honda CRF450RL. Next up, Nak, Liza, Stumpy John and Bagel recall some crazy stories from this year's AMA Vintage Days. We saw the largest crowds ever, Pete tried to kill himself on a hill climb, then later in the burnout contest. John raced little girls on pit bikes and lost. Nak drank crappy beer, never left the campsite, and still had the time of his life. And Liza met some of her heroes, Dave Aldana and John Penton. Then Bagel recounts his trip out to Ohio, where he completed 4 Iron Butts. Yes, that's 4. He is one badass scooterist! Big shout out to all of the listeners who found us, said hi, and hung out with us. It really made the weekend even better then we could have dreamed.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have a smorgasbord of stories to share. First off, everyone shares their stories from the MotoAmerica and AHRMA races at Laguna Seca over the past two weekends. Both events were awesome, and with the addition of the vintage motocross at AHRMA, we will be looking forward to attending next years event. Stumpy John gives us a report on his ride to S. Dakota on Liza's KLR, and somewhat fittingly managed to give her bike a stump as well. Mike is looking at buying a pretty cool looking cafe racer project bike, and made the mistake of bringing it by the garage on the test ride. We then spent the next 30 minutes pointing out all the things wrong with the bike, and why he shouldn't buy it. Never the less, were pretty sure he bought it anyway..... Surprise guest Moin Khan dropped by and we find out what magical motocross haven he discovered in Santa Cruz. How did we not know about it!?

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about our recent outings to the races at Laguna Seca, Bagel is prepping for 3? Iron Butts next week (The man is legendary, what can we say)and Liza spent the day chasing balls. But the real thing we're excited to talk about is the best motorcycle movie ever made. After 50 years, On Any Sunday still holds up. It was made at a time when lawn darts were a kids toy, and seat belts didn't exist. This film captures a time when safety was third, and fun was first, and it does it with humor and thrills. Todd Huffman (The John Penton Story) is here to share some stories, how he got involved with the movie, and what happened to all the kids on bmx bikes at the beginning. And if you love this film as much as we do, then hold onto your seat, because it's coming back to theaters baby! And you can be a film captain and bring it to a theater near you. Go tohttps://onanysunday50th.com/ to sign up. Next up, we talk to stunt Misfit Callum, who built a dumpster bike. What's that you say? Well, with help from friends, the electric motorcycle community, and some well timed dumpster diving, he built himself a running electric sport bike. It look great and rides great, and all in he only spend $3000. Good job Callum! And lastly, we answer some emails and hopefully give some good advice about radiators and cheap bikes.

Big thanks to our special guests Nick and Caitlyn for making it happen. We give our honest opinions about this beast of a bike. And if you think this is the first foray HD has taken into the world of dirt riding, then Emma has a History Hole for you that will teach you a thing or two. Next Bagel fills us in on HD's history with scooters. That's right, the Harley Topper is an actual thing. In fact, there's a second HD powered scooter that not many know about, made by Craig Vetter himself. Then of course Liza has to get in the game and share her love for HD's racing bike, the VR1000.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about what a wonderful weekend we had. The weather was perfect, lots of visitors to the garage, vehicles were bought and sold, there were rides, and cake. But it wasn't great for everyone. Especially for the 2 Suzuki riders who were both told by Emma that their engines were done. This can be heartbreaking news to hear, so Emma breaks it down and explains what went wrong. Liza and John had an amazing ride on dirt and pavement, and Liza falls in love with her 690 Enduro. Which brings us into the next topic of which bikes the Misfits have been wanting to try. Maybe it's an older bike that they've just never experienced, and for some it's the new Pan America which we want to be great. Evel Knievel poems are read, as well as some listener emails.

Eventually they figure out that Axe has set the record for riding cross country on his BMW S100RR in just 33 hours and 10 minutes. But he's done more than that. In fact, he wrote a book and made a documentary of his story.

This gets us talking about the unwritten code of being a biker. Things to do and not do. Then we are joined by the Kelly family, who ride together, and hopefully wrench together.

His own Re-Cycle community garage. But they have a lot of questions for us first. Like, what lessons have we learned? Do people steal your shit? And can you actually control unruly people with a good stink eye? (the answer is yes). So listen in and enjoy, and hopefully you'll be inspired to share your space as well. With Liza, Miss Emma, Bagel, Naked Jim, Award Winning Mike and the entire Kelly family. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits [email protected]

Wow. Show 399 and we promised someone big. Well, how about four-time AMA Superbike Champion Josh Hayes. Not enough for you? How about his wife, racer, team owner, crew chief and mom extraordinaire Melissa Paris? That's right, we've got a twofer for you. Josh and Melissa have had amazing careers in racing. We talk about how they got into riding, how they worked their way up into professional racing, and what comes next? They are both at a point in their careers where they've got so much to offer to the racing world. Melissa has her own racing team where she gives young talented riders the opportunity they need. She's also racing her own Royal Enfield in a program to get more women racing. Yep, you heard me. Royal Enfield. She's built a totally badass racing bike out of one. And Josh still finds himself on the track every opportunity he has, but when he's not racing, he's coaching and mentoring up and coming riders. So enjoy this interview with two riders who are role models to excelling on two wheels.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we get to talk to daredevil Debbie Lawler. When Debbie Lawler broke an Evel Knievel motorcycle-jumping record in February 1974, at the age of 21, the American press was riveted. While there had been a handful of women who raced motorcycles, there hadn’t been any female daredevils professionally jumping them—much less upstaging the brashest stunt rider of the era on national TV. Newspapers labeled her the “female Evel Knievel,” a “motorcycle madam” and “tigress on a cycle.” We talk to her about how she got into jumping, why she got out, and how awesome her dad was. With Liza, Miss Emma and Bagel. And big thanks to our stunt Misfits Mike and Chris. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits [email protected]

Tech, safety and affordability in one helmet. Sounds too good to be true? Quin Designs have done it. Tim Calhoun joins us to explain these unique helmets to us. How the tech was developed from a woodpecker, what the potential for this tech is, and what is coming next. And Doctor Detroit joins us to give her perspective as an ER doc. I don't think I'll spoil the surprise if I tell you that she's impressed and can't wait to get her own. Also, Jon Dalton caught on fire, and so did his bike. He shares this scary tale that left him on the side of the road watching his bike go up in flames. Yikes!

This week on our motorcycle podcast we have good news from some Misfits. First off Mycah got a new bike. Yay! And the other big news is that Bagel bought a house! Except it's in Oregon......... But our main topic today is the story of Michael Czysz, and we have Quentin Willson as our guest to share his experience as one of the mechanics on this incredible bike. Long story short: Michael Czysz set out to design and build a MotoGP bike. It was revolutionary, but never successful. But that didn't stop him. His next bike would be electric, and this bike was successful. But unfortunately he would get sick and die within a few years of seeing this success.

We dusted off some of our favorite games and brought them out of the closet. First up we have Cool or Fool according to Miss Emma. Feel free to play along. And since the used bike prices have been going up, we play around of What's It Worth in the Covid times.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Guillermo from Riders-Share.com, a peer to peer motorcycle rental site. This year has been incredibly hard for his industry, but he's been holding on and making big plans for improvements to the business. But first we get a report from Jim who rode up to into the fire zone here in the Santa Cruz mountains. It's creepy, and the orange sky we had earlier in the week has us convinced that we are living in the apocalypse. And Emma fills us in on her latest (and according to her, greatest) motorcycle build she's ever done.

She's got almost 400 movie and TV credits to her name, and was also one of the best trials riders in the world. But for us her most notable job has been that of Trinity on the Ducati in Matrix Revolutions which I believe to be the best motorcycle stunt in the movies ever done. Debbie tells us about her dad that got her into riding when she was six, some of the highs and lows of her career, and her whole family that shares in her love of motorcycles and stunts. https://www.debbieevans.com/ With Liza, Naked Jim, Nak, Bagel and Miss Emma. https://motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits [email protected]
