Hello Boys and Girls,

Today, we’re heading into the heart of the Black Hills to talk about one of the most legendary riding destinations in America: Custer State Park. Joining us is Aaron Douglas, who helps keep this incredible park running smoothly — even when thousands of riders roll in for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. We’re talking Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, wildlife, history, and everything you need to know before you ride through one of the most beautiful stretches of pavement in the country.

Hello boys and girls, 

Welcome to Episode 480 of The Motorcycle Men Podcast! Tonight, Ted, Tim, Chris, and Justin are back in the V-Twin Cafe and ready to unleash another round of motorcycle talk, questionable insights, and the kind of laughter that only happens when four grown men pretend to run a professional show.

We'll catch up on all of the interviews that have taken place for starters and then we dive into the National Days Calendar because it's what we do.

We’ll hit the BINIT, and the Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge.

But today is about heat and your motorcycle. We'll talk about how it effects your bike, the fluids, your tires and you.

So grab a coffee, tea, Coke or your favorite brew and settle in. This is the Motorcycle Men Podcast — and the Cafe' is officially open.

Hello Boys and Girls,

Today on the show, we welcome back one of the most thoughtful, raw, and quietly rebellious voices in motorcycle travel writing—Graham Field. For more than a decade, Graham has taken us across continents, through borders, into solitude, and deep inside the human condition. From his breakout book In Search of Greener Grass to his newest—and final—work, he’s been chasing something far more elusive than miles: meaning. to his newest—and final—work, he’s been chasing something far more elusive than miles: meaning.

Hello boys and girls,

Today we’re talking Route 66 — the Mother Road — and not just any ride, but the 100th anniversary run. Joining me is Larry Marshall of The V‑Twin Blog, who just completed a self‑guided Chicago‑to‑LA adventure with two fellow YouTube creators.

Hello boys and girls,

Today we’re heading to the emerald side of the world as we sit down with Furman Hendrickson, who recently completed an unforgettable motorcycle tour of Ireland with Celtic Rider Motorcycle Adventures. We’ll dig into the riding, the scenery, the culture, the challenges, and even the antics of Woody—the podcast mascot who tagged along for the journey. So grab your helmet, settle in, and let’s roll into this Irish adventure.

Hello boys and girls, 

Welcome to Episode 475 of The Motorcycle Men Podcast! Tonight, Ted, Tim, Chris, and Justin are back in the shed and ready to unleash another round of motorcycle talk, questionable insights, and the kind of laughter that only happens when four grown men pretend to run a professional show.

We’re catching up on a whole lineup of recent interviews — from the creators of the rock opera Suzy the Cycle Witch, to ADV guru Bret Tkacs, to roadside‑oddity legend Doug Kirby, to Holly Duttera of Ohio Bike Week, and even Norm Kern from the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. If it’s got wheels, weirdness, or a story, we’ve talked to it.

We’ll also dive into the National Days Calendar because apparently May is everything month: Paper Airplane Day, Blueberry Cheesecake Day, National Hamburger Month, National Barbecue Month, National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and even International Drum Month. Basically, if you can celebrate it, someone decided May was the time.

Then it’s on to the stats — 468,879 downloads and counting. North America still leads the pack, Chicago is still our biggest U.S. city, and yes… we lost our listener in the South Sandwich Islands. But we picked up folks in Iceland, Bermuda, Cuba, Zimbabwe, and even Madagascar. The global weirdness continues.

We’ll hit the BINIT, talk about Woody’s Ireland adventure, E15 fuel approvals, Harley‑Davidson products that aren’t motorcycles, and the Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge.

So grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s talk about why these old Harleys still get under our skin and stay there. This is the Motorcycle Men Podcast — and the Cafe' is officially open.

Hello boys and girls,

Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Bret Tkacs. Bret is one of the most respected names in adventure motorcycle training, known for his physics‑based teaching style, his ability to evaluate riders individually, and his mission to help ADV and dual‑sport riders ride smarter, safer, and with more confidence.

We’re going to dig into how he trains riders the way they naturally learn, why traditional training often falls short, and what makes his programs so transformative for riders at every level.
