Welcome back to Throttle Torque! In Episode 2, we introduce Josh to the mic and dive straight into the deep end. We discuss his time wrenching in England, the reality of owning a Kawasaki H2, and the controversial news about Ducati developing an automatic clutch.

We also break down the "Dark Art" of Dyno Tuning—is it actually worth it for a street bike, or are you just burning money? Plus, we rate the latest trends in our "God Tier or Bin" segment (Big Wangs, Radar Cruise & Electric Clutches).

• The H2 Backstory: What it’s really like to live with the supercharged beast.

  
  

• Tech Talk: The new Alpinestars Tech Air 5 Plasma & Ducati's "E-Clutch" patent.

  
  

• Dyno Room: Advantages, disadvantages, and different methods of tuning your bike.

  
  

• Trend or Bin: Are big TFT dashes and Radar Cruise Control destroying the purity of riding?.
