    • Yamaha released two versions of a new superbike: the YZF-R1 and the YZF-R1M, the latter of which has telemetry downloads to a laptop or smart phone. Tech3 in a box! (Kidding!)

  • Interview with MotoShop San Francisco, a Different Kind of Motorcycle Garage

    What do you think of when someone says Motorcycles? Speed? Fun? Risk?

    What about Community? I don't know about you, but I really really love my motorcycle family. You meet the coolest people, with incredible stories and it's all because you both love riding motorcycles.

    Moto Shop is not just a concept, but a real life business and most importantly, a community. A group of people who not only LOVE riding motorcycles but working on them too. This place has changed the way people learn about their motorcycles. Located in Potrero Hill, San Francisco, Moto Shop is here to teach you how to do almost anything with your bike or just give you a spot to work on your own.

    I used to go there all the time, to change my oil and work on my bike. I got tired of lying on the ground to work on my bike so I'd ride 15 minutes, rent a lift for few hours and be done. My most involved visit was installing my heated grips! I definitely couldn't have done it without their help.

     I'm lucky enough to call her my friend, and I'm so proud of what they have accomplished. A viable business, with a lot of customers and most importantly, a community of motorcyclists.

    Others have tried, and failed to reproduce where Moto Shop has succeeded, not just financial success but social success. Creating a unique, amazing motorcycle community.

    Thank you for joining us for Episode 54.  Sorry we went mid-week - that was all Cristi's fault...In this episode, we talk about:

    Joanne's lost ride segment from her trip back to Cali on a supermoto, and her recent journey to New York on her husband's Triumph...

    New bikes from KTM, mentioned or hinted at INTERMOT, both Adventure (and photos) and the "E" series, and the scooter that didn't make the cut (thank you!).

    The other IMS (that doesn't involve Indy) in Long Beach this year is two weeks sooner - mark your calendars now for the weekend of November 14, 15, and 16; and make use of this promo code for 25% off a one-day pass: TWITTER15

    MotoAmerica - What's that? Well, AMA Pro Road Racing has new management and a new schedule that does not include the famous Daytona Speedway.

  • Episode 53: The Ducati Scrambler and Week One of Cristi's International Road Trip

    Episode 53 - Of Recording FAIL and jetlag. I am still wiped out from inability to sleep. Unrelated to that sad fact, both my Skype Call Recorder and Joanne's device canned different parts of the broadcast. All of Joanne's commentary was lost from the beginning and in the interests of not re-recording because I hate doing it and because the editing process was do-able since I was the one doing most of the speaking, I spliced it. It was either that or scrapping it altogether.
