Rust is Gold Racing Podcast

Episode 106 of the Rust is Gold Racing Podcast welcomes Brett Conley from TORC Helmets for a behind-the-scenes conversation about one of the most important pieces of gear a motorcycle rider can own.

Brett joins hosts Steven "Fenix" Maes and Thaison "Hollywood" Garcia to pull back the curtain on TORC Helmets—from the company's roots and evolution to the philosophy behind designing helmets that combine protection, style, and the individual personality of the rider. TORC's current lineup spans everything from classic open-face designs like the Del Mar to full-face models such as the Baja and Newport.

In this of the Rust is Gold Coffee and Racing Podcast, hosts Steven "Fenix" Maes and Thaison "Hollywood" Garcia welcome Trevor Bird, owner of Durango Harley-Davidson and a driving force behind the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally, for a conversation about one of the Southwest's biggest Labor Day motorcycle traditions.

Trevor takes the guys through the rally's history, its evolution, and what makes the Four Corners event such a unique gathering of motorcycle culture, while Fenix and Hollywood dig into the weekend's racing action—especially the legendary flat track and Hooligan races that bring racers and fans together for a night of high-speed, bar-banging competition.
