Sturgis 2025! Custom Builders Series curator and metal fabrication wizard Soda Joe gives me the lay of the land as he describes how his experience with the FXR show has given him the opportunity in collaboration with the Buffalo Chip to host the Custom Builder Series this year at Sturgis. Couldn’t help but talk about the wing too! Thanks Joe see you at the Chip!!!KickStart Danger Dan’s Talk ShopMCshopTsLowbrow CustomsKnives Made By Nick Permalink

A living Jeff Saenz rehashes one of the gnarliest electric stories I’ve ever heard. All of this happened after our last podcast almost 8 years ago! Jeff’s is still thriving in this new life playing and recording music while putting together the pieces to get back in the wind. He’s got a charity show this Saturday at the Double Wide in Dallas where he will be raising money for kids who have had similar experiences. You’re a real inspiration Jeff, thank you!KickStart Danger Dan’s Talk ShopMCshopTsLowbrow CustomsKnives Made By Nick Permalink

Met Joe at The Happy Valley Rally a few weeks ago in Pennsylvania and I could tell right off the rip he like talking motorcycles. We start at jockey journal and end up at the Biltwell 100. Its an epic conversation that I’m sure will take you back or learn ya thing or two. Thanks for you time Joe see you in the wind.KickStart Danger Dan’s Talk ShopMCshopTsLowbrow CustomsKnives Made By Nick Permalink

After Paul’s first show back at TN Motorcycle Music Revival he came out to my neck of the woods to play an acoustic show at the Aztec Theatre and I met up with him and the rest of the Tejas Thunder Moto Club. Greg Giannukos, Andrew White, and Taylor Garrigan. After a long day in the saddle the fellas opened up about their first run in with Velardi, and Paul’s recent battle with cancer. Due to some technical difficulties most of the conversation got scrapped so I met up with Paul before a recent show at the Kessler and talked about his career, his father and grandfather being his inspiration to ride, and how a Shovelhead helped solidify one of the his greatest albums, Room 41. Check out his tour schedule here and watch out for a Harley Davidson Limited Road Glide while out on the open road as he mows down the miles playing shows across the country.

Stray is an incredible visual artist that was apart of my Prints Paint and Steel art show last year during Born Free Texas. He’s got a sportster he’s ridden everywhere and you’ve probably seen at a show in your neck of the woods. He recently just guided some dudes from the outback across the US and made a film for them. You wanna do the same? Hit up @straycatstumpSupport ShakedownKickStart Danger Dan’s Talk ShopMCshopTsLowbrow CustomsKnives Made By Nick Permalink
