Podcast 458: The Gear We Love To Wear Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start out with some somber news. Ray-Ray was hit by a car and his bike totaled (second one in 3 months) and even though he's okay, there was a death involved. He came away from both accidents mostly intact, much in part to the gear that he wears. So we decided to go around the room and share with everyone the gear we love, and why we love it. Henry told us about a really cool site that lets you see the ratings of helmets, and we all tried it out. Pretty great resource. https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/ Next up we play a round of Ask Miss Emma the risque version. There's some good info here, and you might want to take notes. Then Stumpy John and Liza give a ride report, which brings up the question: when riding on a private road, what lie would you give if confronted by a local questioning why you are there? And lastly we read listener emails and give out some advice. With Liza, Nak, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Lila, Henry, Ray-Ray and Bagel. recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com motorcyclesandmisfits.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

Vlogger Rosie Gabrielle joins us via Zoom to share her stories of moto travelling alone through multiple continents and countries.
