We are joined by three special guests this week: Michael Petrosini of TBEXUSA, Joseph Ford of Ride Again, and one armed racer extraordinaire Jason Griffin. They all have different stories, but they all found each other through one common thing; their disabilities.

Michael discovered the The Bike Experience while in the UK, and as someone who recently found out that he had MS, he offered to volunteer and see what differently abled people could accomplish. Upon returning to the USA he started TBEXUSA to continue helping people find their way back onto two wheels.

Jason lost his right arm at a very young age, so he had to figure out how to do things different. With the help of family and friends, he was able to modify motorcycles and eventually get into flat track racing. And with the help of Michael, he was able to take his skills to the track where he shows everyone that his limits do not define him.

Joseph lost his leg in a devastating motorcycle accident, and made the decision while still in his hospital bed that he was going to figure out how to get back on two wheels. He share with us his journey overcoming not just the physical limitations brought on by the accident, but also the mental hurdle he had to overcome.

Please donate whatever you can to these groups. Every cent is well spent, and riding again is the best gift you can give a fallen rider.

Motorcycle Missions is an amazing non-profit that gives throttle therapy to veterans and first responders with PTSD. They do this by offering welding classes, dirtbiking lessons, bike building projects, track days, drag racing, accident scene management lessons and group trips to events like Sturgis, MotoGP and others. Krystal figured out that throttle therapy is wrenching, riding and community, and started to Motorcycle Missions to help others the same way she found relief through motorcycles. She joins us to share her own story, how she came to create Motorcycle Missions, and how it's now grown to events and builds around the country. If you want to participate or want to help them out with a donation or in other ways, go to https://motorcyclemissions.org/.

Mary McGee and Malcolm Smith were racing pioneers and legends, and they both died a day apart last week, so we are dedicating this episode to them. You may have heard of Malcolm Smith due to him being featured in the greatest motorcycle film of all time, On Any Given Sunday, but chances are you hadn't heard of Mary until her recent death. Mary was a car racer, motorcycle road racer and off road motorcycle racer. She was the first woman to race in the AFM and FIM, and the first PERSON to ride solo in the grueling Baja 500. She was an amazing talent who was often discriminated as a women in a man's sport just because she was too good. Fortunately her story is being told in a new documentary called Motorcycle Mary, and we have filmmaker Haley Watson join us to share her experiences getting to know Mary, and some of the stories that didn't make the film. Check out Motorcycle Mary on Youtube and other streaming platforms.

Malcolm Smith is the greatest motorcycle to have ever lived according to Liza, and she's willing to fight you over this. Smith won eight gold medals between 1966 and 1976 in the International Six Day Trial. The International Six Day Trials, a form of off-road motorcycle Olympics, is the oldest annual competition sanctioned by the FIM dating back to 1913. He was a five-time overall winner of the Baja 1000 (two on motorcycles and three on cars); a four-time winner of the Baja 500 (one in motorcycles and three in cars); has twice won the Mint 400 in Nevada and the Roof of Africa Rallye; finished fourth in the 1988 Paris–Dakar Rally on cars; and was the overall winner of the 1987 Atlas Rallye in Morocco.

Both Mary and Malcolm were in the AMA Hall of Fame, and will be remembered for their infectious joy of riding, and inspiring people around the world.

With Liza, Stumpy John, Sophia, Scottie, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Trials riding is for everybody. The bikes are affordable and small, the risk of injury is low, anyone of any age or gender can compete and the skills make you a better dirt and street rider. Plus you can do it in the desert, the mountains or even your backyard. So why aren't more people riding trials bikes? Bryce from Conquer the West joins us to talk trials, the bikes, the rules, the challenges and the fun. Maybe you should consider trying it too!

With Liza, Numbnuts Matt, Miss Emma, Scottie, Naked Jim and Bagel.

On this week's motorcycle podcast we discuss "heritage" bikes, ones that may not be high dollar but have emotional connections beginning with a discussion about Stumpy John's newly inherited Sportster. We also get to meet our new (best) friends at Nova Motorcycles. They are definitely kindred spirits! Featuring Miss Emma, Bagel, Stumpy John, Craigzilla, Neil and Scottie.
