Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast we share 3 ride reports that all have something in common: running low on gas. Next up we play a game called Video Game, Locomotive or Scooter. Then we get into the main topic on the top superbikes of all time. But before we can make a list, we first have to decide what qualifies a superbike? This is harder than it seems, and we do out best to break it down. So our list of top superbikes in no particular order is Yamaha R1, BMW S1000RR, MV Agusta America, Suzuki GSXR750, Kawasaki GPZ1100, Ducati 916, Honda Hurricane 1000, Vincent Black Shadow and the Honda CB750. We've got room for 1 more bike on this top ten list, and we want to hear from you as to what it should be. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Arlette, Henry, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by superhuman long distance rider Chris Hopper. He recently set a new long distance riding record on his Harley, completing 100,000 miles in 100 days. This feat is unfathomable to most riders, yet he made it seem simple. I'm sure you've done the math by now and have lots of questions. Well, so do we, and he explains it all to us, including some close calls that could have ended the whole trip. Congrats Chris! Next up we talk about the newest bike coming from Honda, the affordable and cute Honda Navi. Is this the next great thing? Or are we getting sloppy seconds on a bike from India? And since it's Thanksgiving week and everyone is heading to the kitchen, we talk about things in the kitchen that also have a place in the garage. Just make sure you clean them real good so your wife doesn't find out. And lastly we read listener emails and Emma explains why you a-may need to change your spark plugs. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Nak and Bagel. milemonstersinc.com [email protected] motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by Raymond, who just came back from a baja tour that left his bike and body worse for the wear. And it brings up the debate about how much responsibility falls on a tour group to get you to your destination safely, even when it's an adventure tour and risk is part of the package. Not surprisingly, some of the Misfits disagree. But this also gets us talking about what tours we'd like to do ourselves. Next up, Liza throws out a game where everyone competes against Miss Emma to guess the model of bike from the specs and description alone. Who do you think will win? And lastly, we read listener emails and try our best to be helpful. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Raymond, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza pitches another crazy idea, and this one might not be so bad. How long do you think you could sit on your motorcycle while on the kickstand? 8hrs? 24? 36? Let us know if you want to join the challenge this January. Next up it's time for a little Porn Pic Challenge - Project Bike Edition. Coming into the winter is a hard time for those who can't ride, so we suggest picking up a project bike to rebuild during this time, and hone those wrenching skills. Which bike wins this week? We got a great Tell Me Why question this week about why there isn't more crossover with companies in making motorcycles AND cars. Well, there's actually more than you know, which leads to an interesting conversation about what bikes would look like if they were designed by some well known car companies. Liza's project bike KZ400 has a rusty tank, so we talk about all the different methods for cleaning out a tank. Good info here if you are going to dig into a project bike. And lastly we answer listener emails. With Liza, Nak, Miss Emma, Arlette, Naked Jim and Bagel.

This week on our motorcycle podcast it's Halloween, and bad luck seems to be creeping in. Emma got a new tool that kept blowing the breaker, and Jocelin posted a video of her bike falling over. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVrjAw1lj7P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link But Cat McLeod is here to brighten things up for a bit. He has been conducting some of his amazing tours abroad, and has even more planned for next year. He shares with us what it's been like traveling everywhere with Covid protocols and safety concerns. Then the conversation gets real when we talk about our fears on motorcycles, and what we are trying to overcome. A little bit of fear is a good thing, but too much is a very bad thing.

She has been challenging herself with riding different bikes, as well as taking classes in all kinds of riding styles, which is what brought her out here to take Jocelin's ADV class. She's never ridden a big ADV bike, but that didn't stop her from putting her trust in Jocelin's teaching, and hopping onto a BMW GS1200. She shares with us some of the challenges she conquered, including riding blindfolded, and the dreaded pit of sand. Subscribe to her here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRFJclFblUdyXGdKLuWsfGQ Next up we talk about adding horsepower and handling to your bike with simple maintenance.

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.....

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.

Well, sit back and let Miss Emma tell you all about it, and learn why this technology died with this bike. And lastly we end with listener emails, and answer such questions as "Why is my crotch burning?" Okay, that one might have been made up, but we do answer some good questions.

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 is a sexy beast with plenty of growl, that was a bigger part of the evolution of HD than most are aware. Then we get into listener emails, and talk about some of the most misunderstood bikes.

And any day that starts with free donuts, is a good day. After we share who was in the garage today, and what got done, we get to the fun stuff. It's game time! Yay!! We play a game stolen from the Newlywed Game called How Well Do You Know Your Missfits? We pair Mycah with Charley, Emma with Rick, and Liza with Bagel. Then the guys are tested on their knowledge and see if they can get the same answer as the ladies. Play along and see how well you do. Next up we talk about custom bike fads, and when they go to far. This is not just restricted to big twin bikes of the 2000's. In fact, there's a long history of ridiculous customizations, and we share a few.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we cut loose and have some fun. Not like we don't usually have fun, but this one was special because we had a dance party! But before we lose all control, we start with an update on Jim's Ascot Tracker project, his first time starting it, and his first ride. Woohoo! Next up it's poetry slam time. We announce our winners of the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle Contest, read some poems and sing some songs. But no, this is not where it comes off the rails. Emma gives us an update on her new shop, and the slow process of opening a new business. Then we are joined by some of our Ask Miss Emma Patreon subscribers, where they get to pick Emma's brain and get the answers they seek. Of course Emma impresses us with her infinite and in depth knowledge on anything and everything. And now we are up to the crazy fun part. We play the whole song from our contest winner, and we start dancing. And not to be outdone by Naked Jim, Rick jumps in on the naked dance party too and the silliness ensues. Enjoy!

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.

We talk for a minute about what this means, and what to expect. Jim shares a story about meeting some cool people on a ride he did. "God save you if it's Russion fuel injection".

We learn what color her knickers are, and all sorts of other interesting bits.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start with a report from Naked Jim, who rode off into the desert and found himself in the middle of the King of the Hammer race. Next up we are joined by our guest Axe, who has done an extraordinary thing, but first the Misfits have to play 20 questions and try to guess what this thing is. 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. Check them out here. http://www.ychrome.com/ Then we take a look at some existing world records on motorcycles, and see if there's any we may try to break ourselves. Hmmm, we may have a shot at some.

Where? Here! https://knoblemoto.com/ We talk to him about the kinds of classes he offers, and we also give him the good old Misfits unwanted advice. Ride. Wrench. Repeat. Next up we get to know Rick a little better, with an old game with a new name: Wank or Spank. And lastly, we read some listener emails and try to help someone with making his wife happy.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about our ride down the Pacific Coast Hwy, a much needed mental health ride, which then turned into a WTF ride when we were blazed by another group of bikers. 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. Paul has already gotten his wife and kids into motorcycle riding, but the next step is motorcycle wrenching. IN fact, he want to open up his space to anyone needing a place to wrench. 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.

He's in the AMA Hall of Fame, the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, he's a Grand National Champion, an innovator, designer and builder. But you probably know him best from the best movie ever made, On Any Sunday. He's got some great stories to share about his years of racing with some of the greats, innovations he made to the frames of race bikes, prosthetic limbs he's built to get amputees back on two wheels, Evel Knievel being a pain in the ass, Steve McQueen saving his hand, and having the first patent on a mountain bike frame for bicycles. He's an all around nice guy too. So take a listen and listen to Mert's stories, and then go watch On Any Sunday again.
