Brian never gets tired of tire questions. He reminds listeners not to panic or call a lawyer just because their knobby tires look strange or have odd black lines (hint: it's science, not sabotage). He also explores the mental side of riding, sharing lessons about ego and why it's important to ride your own ride.

Guest host Neil Sullivan supports Brian's advice with his own tips, like the power of short naps, the dangers of trying to be the "fast guy" and the need to stay aware on long rides. His thoughts on target fixation and group rides highlight a main message of sorts. Know your limits, ride your own ride and don't be afraid to take breaks.

Jordan wraps up George Wyman's 1903 cross-country motorcycle journey! The mix of history and wild mechanical problems comes with broken belts, damaged forks and risky roadside fixes. By the end, only Wyman's raw determination can get him across the NYC finish line.
