Creative-riding Motorcycle Podcast

Welcome to the 153rd Installment of the Creative Riding Motorcycle Podcast. This a whopper. Over 2GB, so I couldn't even compress it and level it like normal. Luckily I compressed it some so that it's not one million bytes hoggin up your data. I assume everyone listens on a phone when they should be working. Well, about the show: 1. Shout out to a young listener. Sirena. We tried to keep it somewhat kid-friendly, but I don't think we did a great job of that. We also got a new Patreon supporter. Danger Dan, who also has a podcast of his own. 2. Wiggins has some substantial motorcycle news to share with us this week. We also try to count up his motorcycles. 3. Junky has some minor motorcycle news. Here is some news for Patrons: the Spooky Spokes prizes are being hand made and are taking a little bit of time. Sorry for the delay. 4. We get into week 3 of our suspension challenge. Let's just say that's where "Captain Weird Beard" comes from. 5. I try to break in with some old "news". Maybe I should have

Welcome to episode 152 Part 2! Listen to Wiggins and I as we give you our impressions and opinions from Progressive IMS Long Beach 2018. We recorded this show on the drive home from Long Beach, so you get to hear a little over an hour of our world famous banter. The audio quality also reflects the inside of a car, so you get to basically ride along with the hosts. Pop some ears buds in and listen with a blindfold on and - voila! It's like you're in the car with us!! If you enjoyed this show, please consider leaving us a review where ever you get your podcasts. Also feel free to send your thoughts and stories to [email protected] Cheers!

Welcome to Episode 152 Part 1!! Wiggins and I scoured Progressive IMS Long Beach 2018 for the most unique products and rider experiences. Here are a few that stood out: 1. Chris McIntyre enthusiastically walks us through his service, and fills in the back story on how it all began. Then he explains how he uses motorcycles to help people experience the world on two wheels, and what it means to connect people to their passion. Big thanks to Chris and Jessica who helped make this interview happen. company info: https://www.eaglerider.com/ 2. We ran into a friend of the show, Jordan Diggs. Normally, Jordan is writing and editing short motorcycle lifestyle videos as part of the team 'Diggs and Ghost'. Here at IMS, Diggs is playing an entirely different role, but with the same focus on the moto community. Hear all about his new adventure.

In this erpisoden, (yes i spelled that on purpose), Wiggins and I take on part two of the Suspension challenge. It's been a busy week, and my daughter is headed to the play-offs in her soccer league, so we have to keep this one short. I'll drop in a blast from the past to fill in the extra time.

Welcome to Episode 150. The Shred Moto Co Show... Why the Shred Moto Show you ask? Because Tony from 27 Cycles/Shred Moto Co runs number 150 on his race bike. Check out the latest episode on Sound Cloud. As of today (11/7/18) they have talked about the Ramming Speed Racing Spook-trackular track day. In this episode Wiggins and Junk cover some stuff: We talk about Wiggins' adventures on and off the track. Why was he absent last week? How did the Hooligan Shootout at Perris go? With AFT season over, did Hooligan Jesus keep the spirit alive on Nov 3rd? We also briefly chat about DTLA - the bum-infested moto playground that has played host to Ken Block as well as MANY motorcycle and car commercials. We went to see Death From Above 1979, which by the way Wiggins - I owe you one, and The Hot Snakes are playing in December. I shall do my best to return the favor. Then we get into a new CHALLENGE!!! Instead of waiting on our peers to review and judge us on our entries, Junk has instituted an instant challenge

Welcome to spooky spokes III. Sit back and let the tales of woe engulf you. Then go riding or racing tomorrow. You'll feel better.

Weclomelcommen to episode 148. If you say that fast enough, you'll toot. In this episode, we have a couple things to talk about, Wiggins just finished building a track bike (and was not on last week's show - you'll hear why). Find out what it was, and how the Ramming Speed Racing Halloween Spook-track-ular track day was. We also hear from the listener who sent her engine problems in for our Baffle the Bozos segment. Did they find out what was wrong? Were Wiggins and I correct? Was it operator error? Listen in and find out. Also feel free to contribute your thoughts at [email protected] I forget what i talked about in the last segment, so even I'm excited to hear about it. UPDATES: Our guest went ahead and purchased a SV650 since this was recorded. Still has problem bike. Big shout out to ALL who supported our friends Mark and Nancy, creators of Mimi and Moto: Motorcycle Monkeys. We did it! They accomplished, and have exceeded their funding goal!!! CONGRATS! if you'd like to support the s

On this special episode of the Creative Riding Motorcycle Podcast, we're on a mission: This week's mission is to help authors Nancy Gerloff and Mark Augustyn reach a financial goal. Their book 'The Adventures of Mimi and Moto the Motorcycle Monkeys' has been featured at MotoAmerica, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and is available on Amazon.com. It introduces girls and boys to motorcycles and gets the whole family reading along while enjoying bold, beautifully-colored illustrations. As fellow motorcyclists and parents, they knew that there were no great children's books about motorcycles. So they did what any good parent would do- they made one! Now, with the first book on bookshelves, they need our help to get their second book published on time. 'Mimi and Moto Ride the Alphabet' is in the works!! Mark and Nancy would like to have the book available by spring of 2019, but they need our support! They have launched a kickstarter campaign that has successfully raised 66% of their $5,500 goal. They need our

Welcome to episode 147!! Creative Riding is brought to you with generous support from listeners and fellow riders like you!

On this episode of Creative-Riding we discuss AIM and some of the products and manufacturers that were at the 2018 exposition in Las Vegas. Wiggins is hard at work cobbling a track bike together, so legendary field producer Bri Viffer sits in on this episode. He attended on the weekend, and got the scoop from a few vendors and perspectives that I didn't get a chance to see. I hope you enjoy! contact the show: [email protected] creativeridingpodcast of FB and IG Creative_Rider on twitter [email protected] to ask Wiggins anything in the world.

Welcome to episode 146! The first hour and fifteen minutes or so is all about flat track. Why, with the 2018 AFT season wrapping up, what did ya think we'd talk about? Lots of silly season and Wiggins' usual insight into the sport. recap of the WIR Top 10 season as well. Five Second rule: We all know (or should) that you can't eat ALL foods after they hit the ground, but there are some that are still ok to blow off and pop in your mouth. What about parts? Are there parts that you can use after they have "hit the ground" a.k.a. been used once already? We discuss Baffle the Bozos: We have a friend of the show who is having TONS of problems with her 2016 Sportster. Can we help her figure it out? Is it a lemon? Thanks for sticking around. Hope you liked the announcer voice! Leave us a review wherever you get your shows! wiggins: wiggzero9 and field_initiative_knives on IG [email protected] to ask him ANYTHING Junk: creativeridingpodcast on IG and FB [email protected] Creative_Rider on Twit

Welcome to episode 145!! Spooky Spokes is coming soon. Please submit your spooky ride story or creepy road video, etc to [email protected] In this episode, Wiggins and I talk about our weekends. Wiggins initiated the inaugural Hooligan Campout. El Mirage went off without a hitch and good times abounded. The desert healed a few souls and took no victims. Junkster attended the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Orange County. I got to meet Steve Caballero, one of my skateboarding heroes. Also, the ride was good, and Spamela did something new. WFO: Wiggins tries to see through my treachery Intermot: We talk about some of the bikes that debuted in Cologne, GDR. Hopefully we are sure to see some at AIM and IMS.

We also have a game called WFO (What's the Fake One) Play along as I present 5 fake headlines and you can see if you know which is FAKE NEWS!

Hey there, and welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast called Creative Riding. On this show we interview a singer/songwriter, adventurer, artist, teacher, dancer, screenwriter/author, biker, and a campsite owner. Should I take the time to mention that it's all the same person!? Grab a snack and a notepad. We talk about all sorts of stuff, and you're going to want to keep track! links: http://www.serpentbones.com/ https://blueheronrun.com/ @serpentbonesohio on IG and a dose of inspiration: https://www.appalachianbackroads.com/ As an aside, I purchased the guest's book "Homeschooler V Middleschool" for a whopping $0.99 on Amazon Kindle, and I was able to read it in one afternoon. It's about the length of a movie, for if you read it like one, it should take you about an hour and a half to get through it. I am not a huge connoisseur of books, and I like them simple. This one was a great read. It had a good ending too, for those of you who refuse to read tragedies. I'm looking forward to reading more

Welcome to Episode 140! I hope this is a great episode! Shout out to everyone celebrating H-D's 115th anniversary. Looks like fun, and a lot of entertainment to behold. On this show: A couple of notes from last week's annual Harley-Davidson Dealer's Meeting. There were some key points that were interesting to me News: H-D plant in Kansas City has begun the scaling down operations H-D breaks ties with Alta Motors AK-47 maker ventures into EVs China makes giga cites to support giga factories ADAs - repairing cars correctly in the future could impact motorcycle safety Special Guest: Our guest accomplished several things this summer, and most recently raced in the MotoBay Classic a couple weeks ago.

Welcome to episode 138, the Nagano one. Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're ready for some racing and news and straight up blabbing. I start off this week's show with last weekend's ride. I traveled down to San Diego, a border town with a clandestine moto-culture. The splintered and disparate community there is what the first segment is about. I traveled down to help Dave & Jen, owners of Cerberus Moto, with moving some of their former livelihood out of their DIY garage. It is with great sadness that I report to you this: Cerberus Moto is gone. What caused the collapse of the DIY scene in San Diego and will Cerberus Moto ever rise again? Stay tuned and find out. There is also some industry and racing news. The last Hayden retires, Russia has a giant state-sanctioned motorcycle, Suzuki Vintage runs Classic TT on Isle of Man, 2 U.S. Motocross de Nations teams announced (kinda), and more. The final segment is baffling: New part or new bike? Which would you prefer? Listen and you'll see what I mean. Pleas

Hello. This is episode 137 I am about to eat a pillow. I have been back in California for about 24 hours. 4 of those on a plane and in a car. I am jet lagged and tired. Wiggins is not in the country, and frankly, I don't think my brain is either. I learned a lot on my visit to Virginia/Washington D.C. Lots about electric charging, ITS infrastructure, and lots about 'Murica. I ranted in the beginning and edited it out, so if you hear me talking about my "historical rant" later in the show, it's not there anymore for reference. I learned a lot about instant rain for those of you EAST of the Rockies. It got wet fast, and now I get the importance of rain gear. I just don't know what it looks like. I've made a few connections in the electric motorcycle field, and i've come across a few eMoto rags as well. I'll talk a little about the global companies that our own Zero, H-D, Alta, etc. have to battle with for market share. I barely had time to look up the Flat Track and Hooligan race results, and I DEFINITEL

Welcome to Episode 136 This week Wiggins and I discuss tea and the American Revolution. I'm a bad liar. We do talk about "T" (transportation) and the Revelation (Harley's cheeky name for their EV) As far as the show goes, that's it. Stick around for the opinions, stay for the misinformation and guessing - especially when it comes to stats! If you can make it all the way to the end of the show, you'll hear Patreon shout outs and corrections. Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend.
