The Motorcycle Mentor Podcast

This episode is brought to you by… YOU.

Wow, it's been a crazy week. The Motorcycle Mentor Podcast received more five-star reviews last week on iTunes than during any other one-week period since I started.

Thank you for doing this!

Sandy and I were almost able to pull off today's episode the way it was originally planned, but there turned out to be too many moving parts right at the end. So, we decided to put off the BIG REVEAL until next week.

Be sure to look out for next week's show because there's something time-sensitive you'll want to take advantage of.

While I have the chance, I want to ask for your help.

I'm putting together a content calendar for the rest of the year, and I would like to know your thoughts.

What do you struggle with the most?

What topics would you like for me to dissect?

One of the things I want to do moving forward on the podcast is interview riders. Here are two series I'm working on now.

The first series is about riders who start riding later in life. If you started riding after you turned 40, shoot me an email and let's talk. If you didn't start until after you turned 50, even better.

I'm also working on a series about rider fear. If you have it, you know what I'm talking about. It can range from mild anxiety when you ride to an all-out panic attack when you even think about riding.

I've never understood why the riding community wants to brush this topic under the rug and ignore it like it doesn't exist. If you have rider fear and would be willing to talk about it on show, send me an email.

So that's it. I just wanted to touch base with you and give you a quick update.

I would love to hear what you think. You can email me at [email protected]

I am super excited about what's coming next.

As always, thank you for your patience and support.

When I paused the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast to focus all my attention on another motorcycle-related bucket list item, I had no idea it would take me six years.

Frankly, without a new episode for so long, I figured this podcast would sink into an undiscoverable slot on the iTunes charts. But that never happened. In fact, the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast has consistently remained one of the highest-rated podcasts about motorcycling.

I'm overwhelmed by this. I'm deeply honored by this.

Thanks to all the listeners who reached out, encouraging me to make new episodes.

I listened. The Motorcycle Mentor Podcast is back!

I can't begin to describe how excited I am. I've hired someone to produce the podcast, and she's amazing. But if I'm honest, I'm also a little nervous.

In this session, I cover all this and more.

In this session of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast, I explain why riding a motorcycle with a group of other riders is more dangerous than riding solo. Some listeners won't agree with me here, but I'm used to that.

Do you think riding in a group is safer or riskier?

In this session of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast, I describe what I call the "Low Information Rider." You've seen the rider I'm talking about… the one that's more concerned with the way he looks than he is with learning how to ride better.

Trust me. You don't want to be this guy.

• The motorcycle crash I ran up on, and what I saw.
• Why most listeners of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast aren't low information riders.
