The Wheelnerds

Mark Zimmerman, author of The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Maintenance, is our guest this week. And a Fake Chuck has appeared to help Todd out with the hosting duties!

Andrew Pain comes on the show to talk about his book, Going Small - A Guide to Lightweight Motorcycle Touring

Todd reveals a dark horrible secret and Joanne the Gearchic talks to us about how to shop for gear

Austin Vince. Mondo Enduro. Nuff said?

It's just us this week and we're working out way through a backlog of listener mail

We have something cool this week. We're going to be talking with Joanne Donn, the Gearchic. She's dedicated to helping women find good gear. To help our conversation, Todd and I found a woman who needs good gear and she's in the cave with us. Here them have an intelligent conversation while Todd and I read magazines.

Got a good one for you this week. We're going to be talking with Lee Conn, president of Motus Motorcycles! Motus recently unveiled the pricing for their new MST V4 sport-tourers. Made quite a splash and we get Lee on to talk about the company, the bikes, and who Motus is actually building for.

This week, we're talking to Craig Vetter, creator of the Windjammer (way back then) and currently fuel-economy mad scientist. He's going to tell us about the Vetter Fuel Economy challenge and a flying wing!

This week, we get Podcrashed by Chris Gore. Chris has a podcast called Podcrash where he visits another podcast every show in a podmatch. Two podcasts enter and then we both furiously edit and release the best bits. Chris is known from his DVDuesday segments on G4TV and has a long history in the indie film and videogame scenes.

PLEASE READ: this is a SPECIAL episode. We're going to the movies and doing a commentary track. In order for this episode to work, you *need* to have a copy of the movie Torque, starring Martin Henderson and Ice Cube. Grab it on DVD or stream or something. Start it playing and then start playing the show. That ought to get you pretty close, but we provide some cueing up during the intro scene so that you can get the timing just right. It'll be like having us watching a movie with you. Except without the smells and we don't eat all your food and drink all your beer!
