Bonus Episode: All About Clutches

This week on our podcast we are joined by the founder of Vintage Rides motorcycle tours, Alex Zurcher. He first started riding while seeking adventure in India, and fell in love not just with the Royal Enfield, but with exploring cultures found off the beaten path. He soon realized he wanted to share all of the authentic experiences he discovered, and Vintage Rides was born. 17 years later he offers this same style of moto adventure in 19 countries, and has become one of, if not the largest, motorcycle tour company. Wendy Crockett also joins us to share some more Vintage Rides experiences, and is available to answer any questions you might have. Jen and Matt from Utah share their Misfit for a weekend experience. From riding the Niken, wrenching at the garage, eating too many bakery treats, surviving the coastal fog and exploring a cave in a redwood tree, they had the full Santa Cruz experience.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head down to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, and everyone came away with damp knickers. Normally it would be from the amazing array of beautiful bikes, but this year it was the rain that got our undies wet. That still didn't stop us from having a good time and getting one good interview before the rain went sideways and everyone ran for cover. Fortunately the next day we were back to our usual sunny weather for the garage, and everyone was in better moods once the wrinkled genitalia returned to normal. Jim shares a story of a mission he was sent on from a listener, that turned into an amazing adventure and story. Then Emma shares a story of an unfortunate incident involving a poorly transported motorcycle on the back of a flatbed. This leads us to share our tip and tricks to safely securing your bike for transportation.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk about our recent crashes, rashes and awards, and why it was all worth it. Another Tesla killed a biker while in self drive mode. Who's to blame? And how do we get this to stop? Let's discuss. We catch up on our backlog of listener emails (well, almost) so keep them coming. Let us know what adventures you have planned this year.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we share stories from our 2nd annual Motorcycles & Misfits/Breaking Away Adventures Rally. We had a great group of people attend, and supported dirt, adv and street riding out of our beautiful Hollister Hills SVRA campground. Games were played, drinks were shared, and skills were learned in this event that feels more like a family reunion than anything else. We were also fortunate to have Brok McAllister of California Supermoto Schools on hand for personalized instruction and dirt bike rental. With Liza, Ellie, Henry, Aaron, Ray Ray, Breaking Away Matt, Naked Jim and Bagel. https://supermotoschools.com/ www.vintagerides.travel https://breakingawayadventures.com/ www.adifferentagenda.com/ www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast Emma does a History Hole on police bikes. Did you know that Berkeley, CA was the first city with a fleet of police bikes in 1911? She shares many cool facts about these specialty bikes, including what makes them so special. This leads us in to a conversation about other working bikes, and what bikes would make a better police bike.

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza has returned from Peru with stories to tell, and Wendy Crockett joins us to confirm Liza's stories aren't all made up. Vintage Rides is a French company that has been curating moto trips around the world, and have figured out the right combination of perfect roads and authentic experiences off the bike. Liza and Wendy's trip was no exception, with visits to Inca ruins, loads of llamas, and plenty of off road challenges. They share their stories and reviews, and also talk about the Royal Enfield Bullet, and why it's the little bike that could.

This week on our motorcycle podcast our favorite Pakistani sexy mofo is here, none other than Moin Khan himself. Besides our upcoming Stumpistan trip (now combined with Chickistan, so we're calling it Chumpistan), Moin is first leading a new tour in Vietnam next month. In addition to adding Vietnam to his list, he lead his first tour of Tanzania last year which came right after a record rainy season. This lead to some true adventures that included drowning bikes in a river, seeing elephants, giraffes and ostriches, and riding on some slippery dirt roads. But the group banded together to overcome the obstacles together, which makes for some good story telling from Moin. Also, Liza introduces a fun new game you can play along with, and see if you can guess the model of bikes being described. Lastly we finish up with listener emails, one of which brings Scottie to tears of joy.
