Podcast 410: That Snake River And His Soaked Liver Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we cut loose and have some fun. Not like we don't usually have fun, but this one was special because we had a dance party! But before we lose all control, we start with an update on Jim's Ascot Tracker project, his first time starting it, and his first ride. Woohoo! Next up it's poetry slam time. We announce our winners of the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle Contest, read some poems and sing some songs. But no, this is not where it comes off the rails. Emma gives us an update on her new shop, and the slow process of opening a new business. Then we are joined by some of our Ask Miss Emma Patreon subscribers, where they get to pick Emma's brain and get the answers they seek. Of course Emma impresses us with her infinite and in depth knowledge on anything and everything. And now we are up to the crazy fun part. We play the whole song from our contest winner, and we start dancing. And not to be outdone by Naked Jim, Rick jumps in on the naked dance party too and the silliness ensues. Enjoy! With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim, Bagel and Rick.

Podcast 409: Bring Out Your Dead Suzukis Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about what a wonderful weekend we had. The weather was perfect, lots of visitors to the garage, vehicles were bought and sold, there were rides, and cake. But it wasn't great for everyone. Especially for the 2 Suzuki riders who were both told by Emma that their engines were done. This can be heartbreaking news to hear, so Emma breaks it down and explains what went wrong. Liza and John had an amazing ride on dirt and pavement, and Liza falls in love with her 690 Enduro. Which brings us into the next topic of which bikes the Misfits have been wanting to try. Maybe it's an older bike that they've just never experienced, and for some it's the new Pan America which we want to be great. Evel Knievel poems are read, as well as some listener emails. With Liza, Naked Jim, Rick, Miss Emma, Bagel, Mikey 3 Times and Stubby John.

Podcast 408: Ask Miss Emma Anything Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are experiencing a new level of hope. Things seem to be getting better in general, and it feels good. Buell is back! That's right. We talk for a minute about what this means, and what to expect. Jim shares a story about meeting some cool people on a ride he did. "God save you if it's Russion fuel injection". Next up we ask Emma questions. What kind of questions? All kinds! We learn what kind of bike she would be, if she were a bike. We learn what color her knickers are, and all sorts of other interesting bits. Liza has a glowing revue of her new Corbin seat for the Africa Twin, and also explains why she took a dremel tool to her brand new Quin helmet. And then all the Misfits share what helmet they prefer, and why they chose it. And lastly, we answer listener emails. Big announcement! We are having a contest, with 3 winners, all getting the new Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle (Trail model). To enter, write a song or poem about Evel Knievel, and send it to us via email.

Podcast 406: No Limits - No Regrets Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we start with a report from Naked Jim, who rode off into the desert and found himself in the middle of the King of the Hammer race. Next up we are joined by our guest Axe, who has done an extraordinary thing, but first the Misfits have to play 20 questions and try to guess what this thing is. Eventually they figure out that Axe has set the record for riding cross country on his BMW S100RR in just 33 hours and 10 minutes. But he's done more than that. In fact, he wrote a book and made a documentary of his story. Check them out here. http://www.ychrome.com/ Then we take a look at some existing world records on motorcycles, and see if there's any we may try to break ourselves. Hmmm, we may have a shot at some. And lastly, we read emails and answer some listener questions.

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you stories of our rides and wrenching in our perfect weather. Go ahead, hate us for it. But we had a great weekend, only made better by our guest this week, Steve Knoble of Knoble Moto. He teaches motorcycle maintenance classes in Cleveland, Oh. but he also has online classes. What? Where? Here! https://knoblemoto.com/ We talk to him about the kinds of classes he offers, and we also give him the good old Misfits unwanted advice. Ride. Wrench. Repeat. Next up we get to know Rick a little better, with an old game with a new name: Wank or Spank. And lastly, we read some listener emails and try to help someone with making his wife happy.

Podcast 402: Re-Cycle Snohomish? Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about our ride down the Pacific Coast Hwy, a much needed mental health ride, which then turned into a WTF ride when we were blazed by another group of bikers. This gets us talking about the unwritten code of being a biker. Things to do and not do. Then we are joined by the Kelly family, who ride together, and hopefully wrench together. Paul has already gotten his wife and kids into motorcycle riding, but the next step is motorcycle wrenching. IN fact, he want to open up his space to anyone needing a place to wrench. His own Re-Cycle community garage. But they have a lot of questions for us first. Like, what lessons have we learned? Do people steal your shit? And can you actually control unruly people with a good stink eye? (the answer is yes). So listen in and enjoy, and hopefully you'll be inspired to share your space as well. With Liza, Miss Emma, Bagel, Naked Jim, Award Winning Mike and the entire Kelly family. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com
