Motorcyclists do a lot of different things. Kurtis Minder spends his days (on or off the bike) thinking about how to protect you from cyber criminals, and he relates his ideas, methods, successes, challenges and more in his first book, Cyber Recon: My Life in Cyber Espionage and Ransomware Negotiation.

This episode includes news on KTM, LiveWire, Honda, Triumph and more!
