Podcast 684: From the Archives - Wayne Rainey Jul 13, 2026

Show notes

Dipping into the archives for another one of our favorites, and this is a big one. Back in 2018 we got to sit down with the legendary Wayne Rainey. Wayne is a legend in motorcycling (no really, the AMA awarded him that title) with 3 world championships under his belt. He also happens to be the president of the MotoAmerica racing series, despite the fact that he had a career ending crash in 93 that left him in a wheelchair. But that hasn't slowed him down. His post crash life included racing karts and owning his own race team. We dive into the current state of American racing, as well as getting to know a bit about his history, as well as what it takes to get a curve at Laguna Seca named after oneself. With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim, Nak and Michael. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew https://womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop

Podcast 681: From the Archives - Craig Vetter Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

We are going back into the archives to replay some of our favorite episodes, and this one is special. Craig Vetter was the first AMA Hall of Famer to join us in the garage for a live interview. You may know him for his Windjammer fairing, but lately he has been busy designing fuel efficient streamliners, and hosting the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge. Last years winner, Alan Smith, reached 180 miles per gallon with his Ninja 250. Our friend Electric Terry is also here to talk about his Vetter streamlined Zero S that runs at a cost of 1.3 cents per mile. Craig Vetter has got things figured out, and is making great strides to make the world a better place. Listen and enjoy.

From leading the Legacy Lap on a 1953 Norton Meteor, being an extra in the Channing Tatum film about the TT, and the Tour of Awesome Women in Wales and England to name a few.

Podcast 679: From the Archives - Yuri Barrigan Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

Time to dip into the archives for another favorite past episode. Yuri Barrigan made his mark on the racing world when he set off to the Isle of Man Manx race with his two 400cc supermotos. Known as the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, you need balls of steel to even attempt it. And to do it on a supermoto? Titanium. And thanks to Yuri, supermotos are now banned at the Isle of Man. Yuri joined us back in 2015 to share his story of what it takes to race at the Isle of Man, and what it will take to go back again. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew https://womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop

Podcast 678: From the Archives - Carolynn Sells Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Back in 2017 we interviewed Carolynn Sells, and it’s still one of our favorite interviews today. And now in 2026 Liza is checking off a bucket list item, and will be riding alongside Carolynn and all of the other woman riders on the mountain course as they lead the Legacy Lap at the Isle of Man TT this summer. Carolynn Sells is the only woman to win a solo race on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, an achievement that earned her a Guinness World Record. In 2009 she won the Ultralightweight Manx Grand Prix, and has been a fixture on the Isle of Man race scene ever since. You might find her behind the microphone interviewing racers now, but Carolynn’s history with racing goes way back. Growing up on the Isle, her dad began racing in the Manx Grand Prix when she was 12 years old and she was determined to get her own racing license. Enjoy this remastered retro interview with Carolynn Sells. With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Yuri. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

Podcast 677: Getting Schooled w/Pacific Motorcycle Training May 25, 2026

Show notes

Craig and Chris from Pacific Motorcycle Training join us to see if the Misfits know their stuff. We are put through a knowledge test on advanced riding techniques, thus proving the point that any riders, no matter the experience, can benefit from further riding classes. Scottie brings up the subject of e-bikes and training that's becoming available, which brings us to the question; should we add tiered licensing, and if so, what would the tiers be? With Liza, Adrien, Stumpy John, Neal, Miss Emma, Craigzilla, Chris, Scottie, Naked Jim, Cat and Bagel. https://www.pacificmotorcycletraining.com/ www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop https://www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

Show notes

Michael Uhlarik joins us again to talk about the state of the motorcycle industry, how the Chinese brands are going to fit, and fills us in on what really happened at Damon Motorcycles. But first, we talk about what's been happening in the garage, how we lost an old friend, and why you should go ride the Lost Sierra.
