Throttled Roots Podcast

This year we set up camp at Harley Davidson of Scottsdale and during Arizona Bike Week and we had some cool guest roll through and hang out. The Upshift Podcast, Jess Rips, Prettymomma, Hogs Nest and many others dropped by for this one. Enjoy this one from Arizona Bike Week!

We aren't opposed to talking about the things happening within the Harley scene and this episode is no different. Ryan Kruesi called out Hale Speed on his shit talking and Hale Speed refused to put em up. If you are going to talk shit, you got to be ready to back it up. We give our opinion about this situation on this episode, like it or not, here it is! Enjoy this one!

We attended the annual Fishtailz Super Show and as expected it did not disappoint. We had some cool guests drop by and it was our first indoor convention center style of show, and we learned a lot. It was a great day with some great people! Enjoy this episode!

What you see on social media isn't always what it's made up to be in the Motorcycle Industry. There is a side to the industry that isn't always pretty.

Throttled Roots was brought in to set the vibe and energy for the event and we did exactly that. The event was held at Biggs Harley in San Marcos California and was the first of many events planned throughout the year with So Cal Rider Coalition. Always fun when we podcast at live events. Enjoy this episode!

Joe and I had a few beers and chopped it up about the new CVO Road Glide and the all new design. Harley is going in the right direction we have all been asking for and we break down what we think are the pros and cons of the new Road Glide.

Michael is keeping the old school tradition alive by continuing to bring to print Viclas from all over the world. He has a passion for all things related to 2 wheels but the Vicla scene is what he grew up around and loves. He is hosting the Fishtailz Magazine Supershow on March 16th in Ontario, and we will be in attendance. Make sure to get to show, you won't want to miss this one.

Chopperfest takes place in our backyard and it's the "Superbowl" for us in terms of venue in our backyard and coincidently it lands on Superbowl as well. This was the 20th year of Chopperfest and this year it was with heavy hearts that we lost the founder Dave "Huggy Beahr" Hansen. This year was a tribute to the man who started Chopperfest 20 years ago. We had some great guests drop by the podcast. Being live with the people at events is one of the best times we have.

The homie dropped by the garage to kick it and right before Chopperfest was about to kick off. Jesse has started his own clothing brand No Fucks Given Clothing, and we talked some business and some of the behind scenes of the industry. It's not always what it appears to be on screen, it takes a giant effort beyond the fun.

This is a heavy topic and one that is not taken lightly. We have a firm stance on behavior like this and recently, it was brought to the attention of the Harley motorcycle community, that a registered sex offender with a plea of guilty, was within our community. This subject is not taken lightly and it was important for us to take stance and make sure that the message is clear. There is a absolute zero tolerance in our community for that type of behavior and its is unexplainable. We felt it was important to use our platform to get the word out and have a serious discussion about it.
