Show notes

Hello kids,
Here is an interview that I had with Del, Derek, of Delboy's Garage, a YouTube channel that provides wonderful HOW-TO instruction and lesson for Motorcycle owners and just plain simple and logical knowledge. What you are about to hear is a very articulate and passionate motorcycle enthusiast spreading the good word about what we love; Motorcycles.

Episode 28 - IMS Wrap and Wreview Dec 15, 2015

Show notes

So here it is the post IMS episode. IMS - International Motorcycle Show for those who didn't know.
Where to begin?? Motorcycles.... Everyone was there... almost. We checked them all out, sat on them, talked to the people in the know, saw all the accessories and services available, ate questionable food and spent way too much money.
I did an interview with Jenn at Royal Enfield and also spoke with Joe, a representative of a local supporting chapter of the Wounded Warrior Project. Victory was there showing off their non-descript bikes that they know nothing about. All the manufacturers were there showing off their new wares and toys. The "S" word was everywhere at the show and Adventure bikes were all the attraction. Harley Davidson as well as many of the other manufacturers had bikes on stands that you could start and throttle up to get the feel of shifting on the bikes. BMW even had a virtual reality ride or two. Oh and there was a skills show with two fantastic and very talented riders.... no-handed wheelie in circles.
We'll post pictures shortly... there are lots of them to show. In the meantime.... listen to the episode and make a plan for 2016 to go to this event.
Tune in next week when you can hear and interview with Derek of "Delboy's Garage" from England. Wonderful Episode!!
Ride safe folks, we'll be back in three weeks with a brandy new episode.

Episode 26 - Didn't we do this already? Dec 01, 2015

Show notes

Hello boys and girls, it's the Motorcycle Men once again and again... the Episode redo is ready for your ears, so fire it up.
Hey, go to Road ID and get yourself noticed. Get your personal Road ID so that people know who you are if they need to. I where one when I ride and I suggest you do to.
Also go to Audible.com and get yourself a free audiobook download and a 30 day trial membership.
After explaining the big error on my part (I neglected to clear out the SD card and it filled up while we were recording the episode last week and stopped recording 20 minutes into our episode).... we moved onto talking about >Firstgear< and the great service they gave when they sent me a new suit for my damaged Thermo-Suit. They also sent along some TPG gloves for us to check out and they are freaking awesome!!! Love the Thermo suit and if you want to ride in cold weather like I currently do, you'll get one.
I fixed my squeak and now I am riding without my signature sound... I may have to come up with something else.
Check out our friends at Shore Fire Designs and tell Joe G that the Motorcycle Men sent you. And of course Steve at TT Cycles and our friends at Bergen Harley Davidson.
When you are done listening to our nonsense, go over and listen to The Pace Podcast, Loud Pipes, Motoriffic, Chopper Prophets, The Wheelnerds and the Throttled Podcast. All of these other podcasts are your link to motorcycle knowledge and information.
We talked about the new Sena Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Helmet, Bimota Motorcycles, Benelli Motorcycles, a new TV reality TV show about 4 riders who take off from Alaska to the tip of Argentina aboard 4 electric bikes and those crazy folks at Harley Davidson renting bikes in Cuba.
This week I reviewed "Jupiter

Episode 26 - WTF?? What happened? Nov 27, 2015

Show notes

Happy Thanksgiving from the Motorcycle Men!!!
Sadly we had some technical difficulties and the show got cut off 20 minutes in. After some discussion, it was decided to unpublish what was put up and we'll do a new podcast as usual on Tuesday the 1st of December. That podcast will be published for Wednesday listening. We will review some of what we went over in this cut-short show and we'll have some great new stuff as well.
Unfortunately, we will not have the guests that we had on the show Thanksgiving day as those guests will be unavailable but we hope to get them back in the studio soon.
Again, sorry for the error, but we'll make up for it next week. So tune back in on Wednesday next week.

Driving in Mallorca.... you gotta check this out!!!! As a cyclist, I sometimes ride and indoor trainer. While doing this, sometimes I ride to training videos on you tube. They are 60 minutes to 90 minutes long or longer and they all show wonderful roads to ride on. In fact, there are tour companies that offer great vacation packages to this hidden gem for riding. Take some time and watch this video >HD Training< and if you like, skip ahead to the 36:20 minute mark and watch motorcycles mix in with the cyclists. Breathtaking.

And a happy Podcast to you all!! Here it is, the long awaited live show for your ears.
What a great time. The crowd was small but it was a hoot. There was drinks, laughs and music. We had Joe G. of Shore Fire Designs there showing off his fantastic leather work and custom seats.
