All three hosts get a little giddy when it comes to electric motorcycles. It's probably the torque math goin' to our heads. Zero's latest entry into the market is no exception where raised eyebrows and grins are concerned.

Two new tours have been added to the group travel event list. For the modest, entry-level enthusiast, our modified Lake Michigan Circle Tour (LMCT) is a "cruise with moments of technicality". Top tier track junkies may prefer our (also modified) "Ohio Windy 9" tour, which is chock full of switchbacks and sweepers.

Speaking of group rides, resident author Brian Wringer nailed it with his "10 Commandments To Lead An Insanely Fun ST Motorcycle Ride". Thus, it's our read-through article of the month, broken up equally between the voices of Tim, Travis and Robin. Enjoy.

Travis and his wife are now the proud parents of two beautiful baby boys. You heard it before ... twins! Congrats to the happy couple!

Tim bought a new refrigerator. Calm down. Calm, I say! He's also trying to figure out his luggage rig for our upcoming "Trip Sevens" tour.

Robin is in Texas preparing to begin work as an MSF coach for Total Rider. He's also working to better the "777" tour maps. Hence this episode.

Travis is expecting. Well, that is to say his wife is expecting. Which is weird considering that this episode was produced and uploaded after his kid was ... wait (save that for the next episode).

Tim has the tiny bike bug again and with that, he's sought out a number of interesting products. Each gets their full thirty seconds of attention before another host interrupts. Sighs galore.

Robin is Robin. He's in Texas. Texas is Texas.

Travis is almost finished painting a (totalled) Ninja ER6-N. Even after the long prep, it's a three-part process. One layer primer meets a next layer of blue meets a third layer that's metal flake.

Speaking of maintenance, listener Dominik is looking to perfect is mobile tool collection. Fortunately Tim's latest bit of kit has him covered. Well, that and a few typical DIY go-tos.

Also in this episode, MSTA (Motorcycle Sport Touring Association) president Patrick Mogevaro wrote us a great article. Kentucky's "Hillbilly Triangle" is a most excellent route. Robin reads it turn by turn and feature by feature.

This marks the sixth iteration of our flagship "Trip Sevens" tour. The name comes from a simple theme: seven riders, seven states, seven days. Robin and Travis swapped lead/sweep roles throughout.

There were dark storms, deep woods twisties, mountain top views and a lot of friendly bonding. Also, there were betterings and caveats that only come with motorcycle travel. We look forward to expanding our knowledge along the way every time.

Everyone learned new things about themselves. Each individual rider brought something that the tour couldn't have gone without. What's definitely a motorcycle vacation is also a team building experience, for sure.

When Tim Clarke plans an ADV tour, he means business. When he plans a week+ long tour, he means businesser. In the case of this Arkansas motorcycle getaway, there's more to keep in mind.

TimCC and his lovely gal make a multi-campground trek in their new, custom-built teardrop camper. Tim's Africa Twin, winched into the back of their Toyota pickup, plays clydesdale to a variety of destinations. Knocking down a Jeep road on day one, the remainder is a relaxed holiday.

Blooming dogwoods, flooded train routes and pleasantly excited locals are key to Arkansas character. With that, no amount of rain can douse what their most rural roads have to offer. The barbecue doesn't hurt, either.

Seriously, though. We're talkin' sport touring bikes, sport bikes, touring bikes ... and all of the bizarrely inventive nicknacks from the back booths. Yes, we even delve into the cruiser realm.

Travis is folkin' off like a punk. Tim is amped by what he saw at the Mama Tried "Flat Out Friday" scene (Milwaukee). Robin is still riding his own ride somewhere down south.

Travis is wondering why Honda is using buzzwords like "cafe" to describe their latest modern standard. Robin looks to simplify basic motorcycle definitions. Tim bought a new chair and has his eyes on helmets that offer a heads-up display.
