Just Pete & Garrett

Our final episode. We update you on our projects one last time. We choose a single current bike as your three hosts' mutual favorite, along with the one bike we'd each like to have in our living room as art. We wrap up with a few letters from listeners and our final thoughts.  It's been a fantastic 7 years. Thanks to everyone who listened.

This month's episode is a retrospective clip show featuring all the special guests we've had on the podcast over the past seven years. A listing of the individual guests' episodes is below.

Your trio of hosts marvel at Garrett's amazing Vespa sale on BaT and update you on our project bikes. We then discuss the new Chinese-built Moto Morinis that will be coming to America, along with KTM's 790s and 890s and several electric motorcycles. To wrap up, we announce that the False Neutral will be coming to a end in a couple of months and explain why.

Our old friend Jim joins us for a discussion of large adventure bikes, specifically the Suzuki V-Strom and the Honda Africa Twin. Jim does a lot of trail riding in his home state of Colorado. He has a lot of first-hand experience with Honda's DCT transmission and he shares the pros and cons of the automatic. As usual, the rest of us share updates on our project bikes.

This month we catch up on Eric's scootering adventures in Vietnam, then discuss Iconic Motorbike Auctions with returning guest Abhi Eswarappa.

Eric had a last-minute conflict and couldn't join us for this month's episode, so we make do with a smaller cast and somewhat abbreviated run time. Garrett and Pete discuss our project bikes (as usual), including updates on both of Garrett's RZ350s. We also consider what large adventure bike Garrett might look for to add to his stable of motorcycles, then wrap up by talking about Can-Am's newly announced foray into electric bikes. 

This episode, we have two months worth of events to cover. Our hosts have been in a four-wheel mode, building, repairing, and shopping for cars. We update you on some recent and upcoming travel, and of course discuss what's up with our project bikes, including another look into the wild world of Predator performance mods. 

This month's episode is almost entirely Workshop Update. Garrett freshened up his vintage Vespa Super Sport and unexpectedly focused his attention on the rat-rod RZ, while Pete has been developing a project concept around his Benelli frame. In the process of discussing these, we talk about how the Internet has changed parts chasing. It's springtime, so we're all pining for new bikes.

What ADV bikes make great commuters? After a recap of Garrett's family dirt bike excursion, and a quick Workshop Update, a listener's question launches a discussion about the current crop of adventure bikes. Thanks to James for his great question. We love to hear from listeners and we're eager to answer your questions. 

This month, we look at a lot of bikes with odd combinations of influences: race bikes that are really baggers but aren't, Buell's new adventure-tourer that is neither an adventure bike, nor a tourer, nor new (along with one that is all of those things), a scooter-minimoto hybrid, and a few other things that really shouldn't go together.
