ShopTalk, Weekly Motorcycle Talk Show Podcast!

Motorcycle history meets full-throttle showmanship in this episode of ShopTalk. The Ives Brothers join us for a deep dive into the Globe of Death and the Wall of Death—sharing stories from their circus upbringing, life on the road, close calls, and the split-second trust it takes to ride inches apart at 30 mph on vertical boards. This is the real side of motorcycle stunt culture, straight from the people living it.
We also feature a hard-nosed 1979 Shovelhead from Destroyer Garage, highlight Custom Tech hand controls, and kick off the Smokeout bike giveaway with the first key draw. Add in motorcycle news, shop talk, and upcoming events, and you’ve got one packed episode for anyone who lives for choppers, vintage iron, and the traditions that keep this culture moving.
Listen in and ride along with us.

Welcome to ShopTalk, America’s first and favorite motorcycle talk show. This episode, we pull up a chair with Bubba Boswell of Boswell Harley-Davidson—a name that carries real weight in the motorcycle industry.
We dig into racing, the current state of Harley-Davidson, and what’s ahead for Bubba and his team as the Motor Company continues to evolve. No PR polish. No corporate script. Just straight talk from someone who’s been in the trenches and earned his stripes.
Plus, we crack open Cycle Source Issue 318 and take a hard look at a killer Triumph chopper fresh off the presses. We break down the details, the style, and exactly why this build hits different.
