The Wheelnerds

The Wheelnerds are back! Back in the basement. Making jokes. Telling stories. And doing all that other stuff you like us doing. Guess who we're interviewing this week? Paul Guillian, General Manager of Touratech USA.

Part two of our interview with Nancy and Walt from Streetmasters!

For this week, we have two guests in a two-part interview: Nancy Foote and Walt Fulton of the Streetmasters advanced cornering school. And we do our usual back-and-forth stuff.

We talk this week with Michael Dickey, who's attempting to build an anime-inspired motorcycle from the ground up using innovative techniques and ideas.

Ryan Grassley, Half Throttle, comes back to the show to talk about more YouTube videos and his new iBook, the Volcan Baru Adventure!

A special show for those who hate hearing only Todd and I: Over an hour of JUST Todd and I! Talking shops and what we want in one.

Remember the cranky guy that wrote the cranky article about adventure riders in the NY Times awhile back? Well, we're talking to him! And turns out he's quite a bit to say on the subject of motorcycles! Also, for some reason, Chuck keeps bringing up private time.

We got some of the guys from Butler Maps on to talk about their rider-specific maps and what they can stand up to!

The Wheelnerds kick off 2012 by phoning this one in. Literally. Chuck's down with Adventure Flu and Todd won't break quarantine. We open the lines for people to call, but only one man is man enough to brave catching flu with Intrawebs: Jorge!

We end 2011 with a bang by talking with Ted Simon, author of Jupiter's Travels (and others). Ted traveled the globe in 1973 on a 500cc Triumph Tiger 100, covering 64,000 miles over 4 years. He's like the Godfather and Buddha of adventure motorcycling.
