Motorcycle Men

Hello boys and girls,

Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Doug Kirby — one of the minds behind Roadside America, the legendary guide to the strange, the wonderful, the historic, the gigantic, the tiny, and the downright bizarre attractions scattered across the American landscape.

Doug and the Roadside America team have spent decades documenting the unusual corners of the country — from giant fiberglass animals to mysterious monuments, from folk‑art masterpieces to the kind of oddball stops that make every road trip unforgettable. We’re going to talk about the history of Roadside America, how it all began, how they gather information, some of the most memorable attractions, and what’s coming next for the website, the app, and the future of roadside exploration.

Hello boys and girls,

Welcome to episode 472 of the Motorcycle Men Podcast. I’m here as always in the corner booth at the V‑Twin Café. Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Holly Duttera. Holly is one of the key people behind Ohio Bike Week, the massive annual rally in Sandusky, Ohio that brings riders from all over the country for concerts, rides, vendors, and a full week of motorcycle mayhem. We’re going to dig into what’s new for 2026, what attendees can expect this year, and how the rally continues to grow and evolve.

Hello boys and girls, 

Today we’re diving into the wild, musical, magical world of Suzy the Cycle Witch—the rock opera that blends fantasy, horsepower, and heart. We’re joined by members of the creative team who shaped the story, the music, the voices, and the celebration that surrounds it.

Hello boys and girls, 

Rolling into another round at the fictitious V‑Twin Café in beautiful Cranford, New Jersey, the whole crew — me, Tim, Chris, and Justin — pulled our stools up to the counter for a conversation that felt like slipping into a well‑worn leather jacket. Today we dove into the timeless pull of old Harley‑Davidsons: the Springers that still turn heads, the Sportsters that refuse to die, the Dynas that defined a generation, and all the other machines that made Milwaukee iron what it is.

We weren’t alone at the counter, either. Joining us was Dave Ackerman, the man behind Tobacco Motorwear, bringing his own brand of moto wisdom, denim toughness, and love for the classics.

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 we’re joined by a true Route 66 legend: Jerry McClanahan, author of the iconic EZ 66 Guide for Travelers. If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the Mother Road, chances are Jerry’s maps, notes, and hand-drawn gems have guided your wheels. We’re going to dig into the creation of the guide, the research behind it, the updates that keep it fresh, and the magic of Route 66 itself. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned road wanderer, this conversation is packed with insight, history, and a whole lot of heart.

Hello boys and girls, 

This week on the Motorcycle Men Podcast, we’re firing up the mics for a wide‑ranging, slightly unhinged, fully caffeinated conversation that covers everything we’ve been up to since early March. Ted takes you behind the scenes of the interviews he’s recorded over the past month — the riders, builders, storytellers, and characters who’ve rolled through the virtual garage and left their mark on the show.

Hello boys and girls, 

We’re joined by Court Butler of Butler Maps, the folks who’ve helped more riders find more great roads than GPS units ever will. Court’s here to talk about their brand‑new Historic Route 66 Experience Series Map — a deep dive into the Mother Road that blends history, rideability, and all the weird, wonderful Americana that makes Route 66 such a legend.
