Episode 45 - Interview with Jen Hoyer from Harley Davidson Jun 29, 2016

Show notes

Hello Boys and Girls of the motorcycle World!!
This was a very special episode as I had the opportunity to speak with Jen Hoyer, the Public Relations Manager with Harley Davidson. We had the time to talk about the new Harley Davidson Roadster, The Livewire Project and the new Flat Track project. We also talked about her ride, the Low Rider S and a little about Sturgis. Jen was very very interesting and articulate, very insightful and a pleasure to interview. If you are a Harley Davidson fan like I am, you will love this interview.
In other news, the Motorcycle Men will be testing and reviewing the TomTom Rider 400 as well as the TomTom Bandit Action Camera.
Tim and I were up at the Harley Rendezvous playing with our band Human Wheels. What an event!! If you want to see different.... this is the place you need to go to next year.
We'll be back in two weeks on July 12th for another episode and interview with Ed Baker from the Snell Foundation.

Hello kiddies!! It's another fantastic episode of the Motorcycle Men where we hope will learn something this time.
This week we chatted about:
That crazy movie one more time.
How about your helmet? Is it new or old? Check out the details at Snell.
Do you have a tattoo? Was it a thing to do or did you do it because it's hip or a biker thing?
Repairs to your Harley and adjusting your brakes and belt. Which will lead to a squeak-less bike... Like mine!!!
Americade next week!!!
and finally.... the interview with Alonzo Bodden!!!
We had a great time and we hope you enjoy the interview as well... Fantastic!!

Hello boys and girls and Happy May to you all!!
For your listening pleasure is Episode 40. This one was packed with seemingly silly information but fun stuff regardless.
The highlight is the interview with Jim Simeone of Sims Designs, a custom paint company that will turn whatever appliance and motorcycle you have into a beautiful work of art that you can actually use!! Imagine your bike with a wood grain look!! Totally badass!!
Then we talked.....

So we covered a lot of ground and it was fun at the same time.
In two weeks we'll have Kevin from the Throttled Podcast to talk about riding in the great state of Alabama.
For now, that is it kids. Ride Safe and be groovy.
Ted, your host

No Podcast this week May 02, 2016

Show notes

Hey boys and girls.
The Motorcycle Men will not be producing a podcast this week. The reason is simple.... I'm in the Florida Keys. So while I'm down here enjoying the sunshine, surf and great food, my co-hosts are holding down the fort in the cold temperatures and rain. Mighty nice of them. In preparation for next weeks podcast, I'm going to be out on a Harley Road King this week... because... why not.
But be prepared... we've got a great show planned for next week. A special guest and cool information and fun stuff.
Stay dry and warm kids!!
