I will provide no comment on the title of this episode. It is what it is…

The guys chat about what it is like to ride the TW200 (aka The Gutless Wonder) off road.

Crash and Steve catch up on the last few weeks. Steve has been on a #vanlife adventure and Crash finally purchased a Yamaha TW200 as well as an electric guitar, a made-in-Mexico Fender Stratocaster.

Crash and DaddyNoFun catch up on the last three months. Crash spent some time on the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan while DaddyNoFun develops an interest in all things electric vehicle. At some point, the two even talk about motorcycles.

Crash and Steve welcome new rider, Tucker (also Steve’s nephew), to the show to talk about his recent purchase of a Kawasaki W800. They also discuss the Harley Panamerica, modular body armor solutions, and the new lane filtering law in Montana.

Crash is in Japan and out of quarantine. The guys talk about the 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa as well as some of the bikes that are not returning after 2021. They discuss Harley-Davidson’s new plan, called “the Hardwire”. The 10% tax credit for electric motorcycle purchases is extended until the end of 2021. Triumph teases an update to the Bonneville range and E-Bike company SONDORS is working on a new electric motorcycle.

Crash completely blanks out on how to do the intro. DaddyNoFun makes fun of him. They ramble about lots of non-motorcycle topics with a few motorcycle things thrown in. They chat about holiday movies, Raising Arizona, tripods, and the Fujifilm Instax Camera. It’s a Wonderful Life Die Hard Raising Arizona Travel Tripods Fujifilm instax camera
