Stephen Christena joins us from Arc Academy, founded in 2008. They've trained ~30,000 students to fight the welder shortage with real shop skills. Now a 501(c)(3), they're expanding to other cities, feeding unions and proving results with hired grads.

As is standard, Robin MCs like a double-espresso foreman. His shout out to Silver City vintage leads to bullying the transcript clock. The motorcycles for-sale page is revived, XR750 myths corrected, BMW news dropped and everyone squints at Yamaha patents.

Travis Burleson returns(!) with his dry wit and engineer logic. He kills "exhaust as thruster" nonsense and explains butterfly valves plainly. Winterizing in Wisconsin, Travatron booked 6 MotoVid tracks days, suggesting locked gear, insured bikes and owning risk.

Jordan is still kickin' out 1970 Daytona 200 history. This time, he hypes Yamaha's 350 two-stroke magic and reed-valves. Honda's CB450 exile ends at Suzuka when the CB750 wins and racing goes full send.
