Hey boys and girls.The Motorcycle Men will not be producing a podcast this week.  The reason is simple.... I'm in the Florida Keys.  So while I'm down here enjoying the sunshine, surf and great food, my co-hosts are holding down the fort in the cold temperatures and rain.  Mighty nice of them.  In preparation for next weeks podcast, I'm going to be out on a Harley Road King this week... because... why not. But be prepared... we've got a great show planned for next week. A special guest and cool information and fun stuff.Stay dry and warm kids!!TedHost - Motorcycle Men Support the show

Hi Kids, As promised this episode is entirely devoted to the interview with Glen DuPont, who's affiliation and sponsorship by GlobalStar/SPOT Tracking saved his life.  Glen's story is one that will have you thinking about how you ride and what you are not doing when riding. Think about that.  The one thing that you are not doing is giving a means to locate you in the event of an incident. His insight and experience will educate you. More so, it will move you and inspire you.  Click <here> to see pictures.AND, for all you Listeners of The Motorcycle Men Podcast, if you purchase a SPOT Gen3 Tracker, enter the Promo Code SPOTMOTO during activation and you will receive FREE Unlimited Tracking on the SPOT Gen3.  Act fast, the offer expires April 30, 2016.Once you have completed listening to this interview, immediately go to SPOT and see what it's all about.  Then, go to The Long Riders website and Facebook page and get yourself in there.You only live once, so live it.Don't forget, I'

Hello brothers and sisters, it's the Motorcycle Men back in the studio for yet another episode of idiocy.In this episode, we discuss the snow, Chris's bike, a very bad audiobook and the Harley Rendezvous Classic, something you should really check out and we talked about the New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville.  We also talked about the new and very potential bagger produced by BMW, the Concept 101 designed by Roland Sands.  Quite the machine and one we saw at the International Motorcycle Show in December.  We also chatted up our High Point Ride we are planning for this year.  You might want to keep an ear open for that, because it's going to be epic.This Episode was also the premier of our new series, "50 Roads, 50 States".  In this series we highlight a state and tell a little something about the roads and attractions you can find in each state.  In this episode, we thought it best to kick it off right here in our home state, New Jersey.So enjoy, and please by all means send us

Hello and Happy New Year from the Motorcycle Men!!!Rather than kick off the new year with a regular show, we decided to do it LIVE at the Harley Rendezvous Motorcycle Swap Meet and Car Show at the Garden State Convention Center.  What a great time it was!!  We were surrounded by people who were passionate about motorcycles and about Harley's and basically about riding.  It was really a fun time.  We made some great new friends that are sure to be with us for a long time.First and foremost our good friend Joe G of Shore Fire Design stopped by to show of some of great new stuff that he is up to these days.  Fine work and if you are looking for some leather work for your bike, Joe G is the guy you need to talk to.  So visit his website and give him a shout, I'm sure there is something he can do for you.Next we had our new friend, Huffy The Clown. Without question, a very colorful character and certainly a guy you want to have at your next event.  A very very funny guy with a LOT of very funny stories a

Hello kids,Here is an interview that I had with Del, Derek, of Delboy's Garage, a YouTube channel that provides wonderful HOW-TO instruction and lesson for Motorcycle owners and just plain simple and logical knowledge.  What you are about to hear is a very articulate and passionate motorcycle enthusiast spreading the good word about what we love;  Motorcycles.The Motorcycle Men will be back in a couple of weeks after the holidays with some new stuff and we would love to have you come back and join us.Merry Christmas and a very Safe New Year to you all.  Ride Safe!!The Motorcycle Men Support the show

So here it is the post IMS episode.  IMS - International Motorcycle Show for those who didn't know.Where to begin??  Motorcycles.... Everyone was there... almost.  We checked them all out, sat on them, talked to the people in the know, saw all the accessories and services available, ate questionable food and spent way too much money.I did an interview with Jenn at Royal Enfield and also spoke with Joe, a representative of a local supporting chapter of the Wounded Warrior Project.  Victory was there showing off their non-descript bikes that they know nothing about. All the manufacturers were there showing off their new wares and toys. The "S" word was everywhere at the show and Adventure bikes were all the attraction.  Harley Davidson as well as many of the other manufacturers had bikes on stands that you could start and throttle up to get the feel of shifting on the bikes.  BMW even had a virtual reality ride or two.  Oh and there was a skills show with two fantastic and very talented riders...

Hello Motorcycle Peeps.... welcome to yet another episode of Motorcycle Men.The show notes will be updated shortly, but for now here's a brief.  Chris couldn't be with us so his stunt double Steve from TT Cycles joined us and added some extra fun to the show.We talked IMS, Christmas lists, Triumphs and more Triumphs, winter riding, Victory motorcycles, The sale of Ducati, new Triumph Bonneville line and pimping Tim's ride.Links and photos will be available shortly.... but now... feast your ears on this episode....TedHost - Motorcycle Men Podcast Support the show

Hello boys and girls, it's the Motorcycle Men once again and again... the Episode redo is ready for your ears, so fire it up.Hey, go to Road ID and get yourself noticed.  Get your personal Road ID so that people know who you are if they need to.  I where one when I ride and I suggest you do to.Also go to Audible.com and get yourself a free audiobook download and a 30 day trial membership.After explaining the big error on my part (I neglected to clear out the SD card and it filled up while we were recording the episode last week and stopped recording 20 minutes into our episode).... we moved onto talking about >Firstgear< and the great service they gave when they sent me a new suit for my damaged Thermo-Suit.  They also sent along some TPG gloves for us to check out and they are freaking awesome!!!  Love the Thermo suit and if you want to ride in cold weather like I currently do, you'll get one.I fixed my squeak and now I am riding without my signature sound... I may have to come up with someth

Happy Thanksgiving from the Motorcycle Men!!!Sadly we had some technical difficulties and the show got cut off 20 minutes in.  After some discussion, it was decided to unpublish what was put up and we'll do a new podcast as usual on Tuesday the 1st of December.  That podcast will be published for Wednesday listening.  We will review some of what we went over in this cut-short show and we'll have some great new stuff as well.Unfortunately, we will not have the guests that we had on the show Thanksgiving day as those guests will be unavailable but we hope to get them back in the studio soon.  Again, sorry for the error, but we'll make up for it next week.  So tune back in on Wednesday next week.TedMotorcycle Men.....
