Motorcycles & Misfits

The One Motorcycle Show is the best show in the world. There, I said it. And I truly believe that, which is why you will find me there every year, absorbing the vibe and conducting interviews. This year I roped stunt Misfit Wendy Crockett into joining me for her first time. She shares her observations while helping with interviews, but also managed to become part of the story herself. We had a great time, met so many people, were greeted by so many listeners, saw so many things, and came through waiting for the announcement for next year's event. Thanks to Doug and Jason for tagging along and helping us find the stories. #Onemotoshow

We are going back into the archives to replay some of our favorite episodes, and this one is special. Craig Vetter was the first AMA Hall of Famer to join us in the garage for a live interview. You may know him for his Windjammer fairing, but lately he has been busy designing fuel efficient streamliners, and hosting the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge. Last years winner, Alan Smith, reached 180 miles per gallon with his Ninja 250. Our friend Electric Terry is also here to talk about his Vetter streamlined Zero S that runs at a cost of 1.3 cents per mile. Craig Vetter has got things figured out, and is making great strides to make the world a better place. Listen and enjoy. With Liza, Douglas, Bagel, Zach, Nak, Kat, Stan, Steven, Peter, Pat, Alan, Terry and Craig.

We are back from the Misfits Rally and have stories to tell. We had an amazing time, and want to thank everyone who attended and made it so much fun.
Motorcycle industry veteran Michael Uhlarik joins us to talk about current state of the dealerships and manufacturers. A lot of changes have happened in the past couple decades, making it harder and harder to make a profit selling motorcycles. We learn that the USA is only 1% of the global market share, and with some of the highest standards, make it hard for manufacturers to bring their bikes here. And the dealerships are struggling with rising rents and insurance costs, making it even harder to make a profit. So what's the answer? What does the motorcycle dealership industry look like in the future? What is going to save it? Let us know what you think.
With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

The Misfits Rally is in the bag, and oh what a fun time we had. There were street rides, ADV rides, dirtbiking, a food tour, games and more. But the best part about the rally is all of the people who attended. There were long nights in front of the fire pit, with drinks and stories being shared. Thanks to everyone who attended for making it the best rally to date. We were also fortunate to have Rob Day from ADV Moto Pros there offering private instruction. We sat down with Rob in front of an audience and talked to him about riding technique, the pros and cons of different off road bikes, and how much fun he had at the rally.
The next day Emma entertained the crowd with a recording of Ask Miss Emma live. They asked her any technical questions they had, and Emma gave thorough answers. Thanks to Breaking Away Adventures, ADV Moto Pros and all of the Misfits who attended. What a great event!

Is the Suzuki Gladius a good bike? Yes. Then why did it fail so big? It was the next version of an already popular bike, the SV650. Known for being great performance at a great price, the SV650 became a hit on the road and on the track. So where did Suzuki go wrong? They marketed it to women. This backfired in 2 ways. Men labeled it a 'girls' bike, and women were insulted that they substituted aesthetics over performance. Suzuki learned their lesson, and the follow up to the Gladius was the gen 3 SV650. We go into detail about what went wrong and also talk about why the SV650 was so great (and still is).
