In the newest episode of this weekly(ish) podcast, the boys are back and full of excitement about the new single-cylinder offering from Ducati: The Hypermotard 698 Mono. Shahin made an actual phone call to Quentin and invited him to ride the thing so they could actually chat about the machine. Neither one of them knew that a phone can be used to make voice-calls.

Episode 90 - The Long Lost Gold Wing Show

The long awaited, probably forgotten, but much talked about Honda Gold Wing video podcast from the Brap Talk Motorcycle Podcast. Hey, it only took us two years to publish it! Of note, we talk a bit about the luggage situation on the 2018 Honda Gold Wing Tour, and thankfully since the release of this show, Honda has increased the luggage size of the top box and it now fits two helmets. Also, this is our first stab at a video podcast - God willing, our future attempts will be a little bit better and a little bit more timely. It was a learning experience. Thanks for watching! Big thanks to American Honda for letting us keep the Gold Wing Tour for way, way too long. Also thanks to Arai Helmets and Sena for sending us some gear - we couldn't have made the show without their help.

Episode 83 - The Electric Slide

In this episode, we accidentally talk about a bunch of electric motorcycles that have recently hit the motorcycle industry. We start things off with Harley-Davidson taking the Livewire public on the New York Stock Exchange. From there, we look at Ducati's reveal of its MotoE electric race bike. Next up, there is a new startup, Stark Future, making a very promising electric MX bike. Lastly, we finish with California cracking down on emissions from small motors, like those found on gas generators. This all makes for an interesting conversation about the future of the motorcycle industry, and the rise of electric motorcycle offerings from two-wheeled manufacturers.

We also cover the debut of the Ducati DesertX, and why Shahin put some of his hard-earned podcasting dollars on this new ADV bike. Other topics include the news of a Bimota "Tesi" adventure bike with a supercharged motor and hub-center steering, as well as some discussion about the zen of riding a motorcycle.
