Moterrific

Yeah, there's this thing called life that sometimes separates us from doing extracurricular activities...so thanks for tuning in to another free, fabulous, and unsupported installment of the Moterrific Podcast. Your support is appreciated.

AMA - Cristi coming to a cruiser ad near you in AMA marketing materials. What is it like to ride in a photo shoot?

Ride Reports - Joanne and Cristi take to the streets. Riding in California "cold" weather (40F brrr...), riding in brief sunshine in Palm Desert and Anza Borrego on an Indian Scout.

Gear Mentions:

• High tech shields for your helmet - Gearchic loves the transition lens from Shoei; read her review here. And Bell Helmet wearers, have no fear; they make one too...but my sensitive eyes still need sunglasses.
• Rukka Orbita - Upcoming product Joanne can't wait to get her hands on.
• Alpinestars Riley Kevlar Jean - Cristi chats about kevlar denim options from Alpinestars (the Kerry, the Daisy, the Riley); Joanne's review of the Daisy.
• Dainese Torque Out D1 Boots - Men's race boot (which I own) with ankle protection you should check out (brief mention). This Spring, Joanne is excited about the women's equivalent.
• Rev'It - New gear line coming!
• Dainese - New gear line coming!
• Held - New gloves with a fine touch!

The Cycle Gear - Revzilla Show Down - Final word and a discussion on the incestuous motorcycle in terms of ownership

Why you don't want to juice the throttle through a stream crossing over concrete (or a solid surface) OR right after....firsthand account ;)

More from Joanne on the Sisters Motorcycle Ride and our interview with organizer Alisa Clickenger...

Atlanta - Who's out there? Wanna hang? I might be coming your way....tempt me!

Medical Evac / MedJet Assist - AMA Member Discounts - Check it out! Also keep in mind that big trips require big spending...so protect yourself with trip interruption / travel insurance. Spend <$100, save thousands. Your call.

New Rider Anxiety - A GSXR might be too big for a first ride...but hey, I've felt that way about my rides as well as a somewhat seasoned (mostly salted) rider.

Sorry no show notes for this one! Post a comment if you need anything....

Cristi is still on vacay, so I'm bringing a special episode to discuss a really cool event that's coming next year. For 73 I am joined by Special CoHost Alisa Clickenger aka MotoAdventure Gal who's putting together this epic ride next year, which is open to anyone / everyone on two wheels!

As you may have read in recent days, a very special ride is being planned next year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Van Buren Sisters cross country ride in 1916. They were the first women to ride across on their own motorcycles.

My apologies everyone. I seem to have deleted the intro for Episode 73. We were talking about solo riding and travel, particular the time I spent in WVA, VA and NC last month. Then we jump into the Sisters Centennial Ride!
