GARAGE
Rich is starting to take apart the R6 for a new chain and sprockets. Enjoying the process of cleaning it up, looking for things that need to be fixed, and just becoming familiar with a sport bike.
Jon has 15k service done on the Spyder and learns that the semi-auto shifting requires good oil pressure. Since it was a quart low, the shifting was not smooth.

The 2000 Yamaha R6 on the stands with the lower fairings removed. Rich is coming up to speed with this type of bike and performing some maintenance before getting this on the road.

83: Raising the Next Generation of Riders - Kids in the Studio! Apr 27, 2017

Show notes

The idea for this episode was to talk with our kids and get their perspective on motorcycles. So we talk with Rico's son Kahlum (12) and Rich's sons Bryce (8), and Cameron (6), which was not very hard to do once we turned on the mics!

General details of the conversation:

Bikes they have ridden / owned
- Razor MX350 electric dirt bike (originally Kahlum's and gifted to Bryce and Cameron)
- Motovox MBX10 mini bike (originally Kahlum's and gifted to Bryce and Cameron)
- Kahlum has ridden on Rico's Yamaha R6 and Indian Roadmaster
- Cameron and Bryce has enjoyed some spins on the KLR650, but no Harley rides as yet
Favorite or what they like and don't like about each one
Bike's they think they might like to ride when they get older
Gear that they wear and how they like wearing it

82: MotoNobodies Meetup and the Wheels Through Time Museum Apr 18, 2017

Show notes

Rich and Rico grill Jon about his mountain trip with the MotoNobodies. The weekend trip for Jon was about 850 miles. The group was made up of the following moto vloggers:

Cruiser Brewser
Amp'd Moto
Rouge Mogul
Matthew Williams
Wolf
SPDFNTK (Jon) - Jon has done a video about the Loud Pipes Podcast. Jon has fixed the video as it was pointed out at the 6 minute mark the spyder engine was louder than Jon.

The group had a hard time getting all connected with Senas and figured out after the trip that the Sena BackPack that was used to capture audio to GoPro cameras maxes out at 3-4 riders. Another lesson learned from trip is that the night before, sit down (generally while drinking) and pair the units. Looks like the sena 30k will be using 2.4 GHz Adaptive Mesh-Networking Technology. The reviews said it will be easier to pair up units and we'll update if we get a chance to test it.

Check out the Wheels Through Time Museum and Dales Channel for some great video on restoration and all the bikes at the museum

EVENTS:

OBX bike week - April 22 - 30. Look for Dave Shupe and he'll buy the first Loud Pipes fan lunch plus he'll have some show swag to give out.
