Binge Moto Bonus Episode: Cycle Cinema #3 – On Any Sunday (1971)

We're bringing you a special bonus episode of the Binge Moto Podcast!

Recorded on location at the Motorcycle Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, during the 2026 Motorcyclist Map Fall Rally, this episode features Bryan Pullara and Brannen Butts of Action Motorcycles for the third installment of Cycle Cinema, where we revisit classic motorcycle movies and find out how well they hold up today.

After tackling Easy Rider and The Wild One in our first two episodes, we're turning our attention to Bruce Brown's legendary 1971 documentary, On Any Sunday.

From Steve McQueen and Malcolm Smith to desert racing, motocross, flat track, and the wild world of motorcycling in the early 1970s, we break down what made this film iconic and what it's like watching it more than 50 years later.

We discuss the incredible riding talent, the questionable safety gear, the surprisingly impressive camera work, and how much motorcycle culture has changed since 1971. Does On Any Sunday still capture the spirit of motorcycling better than today's slick, high-definition productions?

This bonus episode is available in audio on Binge Moto, while the video version of Cycle Cinema #3 will be available on Brannen's Action Motorcycles YouTube channel.

If you love motorcycles, classic films, or just listening to two riders debate the good, the bad, and the occasionally ridiculous, this one's for you.

Episode 33 | Motorcyclist Map Fall Rally – Adventure, Expectations & Reality

We're coming to you from the 2026 Motorcyclist Map Fall Rally at the Motorcycle Inn in Kodak, Tennessee!

In this episode of the Binge Moto Podcast, Bryan is joined by Brannen Butts of Action Motorcycles and Jose Peralta to recap a weekend of adventure riding, great conversations, unpredictable weather, and a few unexpected detours.

We kick things off with our experiences on Friday's Adventure Test Ride, discussing the different levels of ADV riding, the challenges we encountered, and how expectations don't always match reality once the pavement ends.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans for Saturday. Extreme weather forced us to cancel our planned ride, but it gave us plenty of time to talk motorcycles.

Topics include:

• Friday's Adventure Test Ride: The good, the bad, and the challenging.
• Different levels of adventure riding and knowing your limits.
• ADV expectations vs. reality: Are we buying into the marketing hype?
• Our disappointment over Saturday's weather-related cancellation.
• Trading a $30,000 Ducati Multistrada for a 500cc Honda: What do you gain, and what do you give up?
• A sneak peek at our upcoming Cycle Cinema episode, where Bryan and Brannen revisit Bruce Brown's legendary 1971 motorcycle documentary On Any Sunday.
• And because we can't talk motorcycles all the time, our thoughts on HBO's Lanterns heading into the season finale.

Whether you're an experienced adventure rider, just getting started, or simply enjoy talking motorcycles with friends, there's something here for everyone.

In Episode 32 of the Binge Moto Podcast, I sit down with California rider Brian Hunnicut to talk about his recent run in the ADV Cannonball — an eight-day, mixed-surface rally from Plymouth, Massachusetts, to Monterey, California.

Brian finished 11th overall in points, but there’s another stat that really stands out: he was the first rider to reach the finish in Monterey — arriving roughly 10 hours ahead of everyone else.

And getting to the starting line was an adventure of its own.

Rather than shipping his BMW GS from his home in the San Francisco area to Massachusetts, Brian rode it across the country, completing an Iron Butt Coast to Coast ride of roughly 3,000 miles in under 40 hours — then turned around and tackled the ADV Cannonball back across America.

We talk about his strategy for extreme long-distance riding, managing fatigue, his motorcycle setup, navigating the Cannonball’s checkpoint and points system, and what it was like riding and socializing with the other competitors along the way.

We also get into something that doesn’t always get talked about: the importance of having support from your spouse, family, and loved ones when your hobbies involve this much time, travel, risk, and commitment.

From San Francisco to Massachusetts and then back across the country to Monterey, this is one serious motorcycle adventure.

Ride. Talk. Repeat.

Brett and Tonya Morrison from Morrison’s Enroute are back on the Binge Moto Podcast!

When we last talked with them in November, Brett and Tonya had made their way from Alaska to Baja, Mexico, riding mostly unpaved back roads on motorcycles they had purchased just weeks before starting the trip—with virtually no previous motorcycle experience.

Now they’ve made it all the way to Panama.

Brannen Butts from Action Motorcycles joins me as we catch up with Brett and Tonya and hear about everything that’s happened since their last visit. We talk about their experiences riding through the U.S., Mexico, and Central America, the incredible places they’ve seen, the challenges they’ve faced, what they’ve learned after months of living and traveling by motorcycle, and what comes next as they prepare to continue into South America.

From complete motorcycle beginners to riding their way across the Americas, Brett and Tonya’s adventure continues—and they have plenty of stories to tell.

🏍️ Ride. Talk. Repeat.

Brannen Butts of Action Motorcycles is back on the Binge Moto Podcast, and he's got a lot of miles — and stories — to catch us up on.

We start with Brannen's recent motorcycle adventure through Kyrgyzstan, riding through some incredible and remote terrain. He breaks down what the trip was really like, the roads, the scenery, the challenges, and what makes riding in Kyrgyzstan so different from a typical motorcycle trip.

We also catch up on his travels through London and France, before heading back to the U.S. for a scouting trip through Tennessee for the upcoming Motorcyclist Map Fall Rally.

That Tennessee trip took an unexpected turn when Brannen's dad, Bradley Butts, crashed and broke his leg. We talk about what happened, how Bradley handled it, and why he's one tough dude.

Then it's my turn.

After nearly three months without my Indian Challenger, I finally got it back with a rebuilt engine. The long repair saga was finally over... except the story has a twist ending I don't think anyone saw coming.

We talk about the repair experience, what happened when I finally got the Indian back, and where things went from there.

It's motorcycles, international travel, crashes, questionable decisions, new bikes and plenty of stories from the road.

Ride. Talk. Repeat.

Recorded on location over three different segments, this episode captures the excitement of the trip from the first day in Milan to the final miles through some of the world's greatest riding roads.

The episode begins in Milan as Bryan and Jose share their expectations before picking up their motorcycles and heading for the Alps. They discuss the planning that went into the trip, what they hoped to experience, and why the Italian Dolomites have become a bucket-list destination for riders from around the world.

In the second segment, recorded after conquering the legendary Stelvio Pass, Bryan reflects on riding one of motorcycling's most iconic roads with his wife, Giselle, riding pillion. The conversation turns to the incredible scenery, the unforgettable mountain roads, and the breathtaking beauty of the Dolomites that exceeded every expectation.

The final segment looks back on the entire journey. Bryan and Jose discuss their favorite mountain passes, the charm of the alpine villages, and what it was like to experience the region both on and off the motorcycles. They break down the logistics of planning a Dolomites motorcycle trip, including the total cost, renting motorcycles through Adventure.Rent versus booking an all-inclusive self-guided tour, and the lessons they learned along the way. They also share what they would do differently if planning the trip again, offering practical advice for anyone considering their own European motorcycle adventure.

Binge Moto Podcast – Episode 28: Monica Maltese

What happens when you discover that adventure isn't about how much motorcycle you have, but how much adventure you're willing to take on?

In Episode 28 of Binge Moto, Bryan sits down with Monica Maltese, a rider who has become a passionate advocate for small-displacement motorcycles and proving that you don't need a giant adventure bike to have epic experiences.

Monica shares the story of her incredible cross-country ride on a Honda Monkey during the legendary Scooter Cannonball, a journey that was featured in the motorcycle documentary The Big Scoot. We discuss the challenges, unexpected rewards, and unique community that surrounds long-distance small-bike travel.

We also dive into Monica's career working the Honda demo circuit and how spending time around motorcycles of every type ultimately led her to fall in love with small-displacement machines. From touring on a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 to exploring backroads on a Honda Trail 125, Monica explains why smaller bikes often deliver bigger adventures.

Along the way, we talk about tackling Backcountry Discovery Routes on a Honda CB500X, packing for extended trips on lightweight motorcycles, and an unforgettable Four Corners adventure with two friends—all riding Honda Trail 125s.

If you've ever thought you needed a bigger motorcycle, more experience, or a larger budget before setting off on an adventure, this episode may change your mind.

Ride. Talk. Repeat.

Danny joins Bryan to talk about what it’s really like to explore exotic places by motorcycle and how two wheels create a deeper connection with the people, cultures, and landscapes you experience along the way.

We dive into Danny’s passion for documentary filmmaking, the process of turning real-world motorcycle adventures into compelling stories, and what it means to have his projects featured in motorcycle film festivals around the world — including winning the People’s Choice Award. Danny also shares how important the support of his spouse and family has been in making these adventures and creative pursuits possible.

Episode 25 – Binge Moto Podcast

In Episode 25 of the Binge Moto Podcast, Bryan and co-host Brannen “Iron Butt” Butts sit down with Simon Josey of the Reel Riders Podcast and Clive Barber of The Adventure Motorcycle Podcast (TAMP) for a conversation that celebrates the power of motorcycles, storytelling, and community.

We dive into how Simon and Clive first connected through the podcasting world and turned a shared passion for adventure motorcycling and film into a genuine friendship. That connection eventually led to the creation of the Adventure Motorcycle Film Festival (AMFF26)—an event built to bring riders, travelers, and storytellers together around the films that inspire us to pack the bike and chase the horizon.

The group discusses what sparked the idea for launching the festival, the behind-the-scenes realities of organizing an event of this scale, and the lessons learned from bringing the adventure moto community together in person. We also talk through several of the standout films featured at the festival, the stories that resonated most, and why motorcycle filmmaking continues to connect so deeply with riders around the world.

If you love adventure travel, motorcycle culture, epic stories from the road, or hearing how big ideas come to life, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
