One of our last remaining shows that were recorded in 2017, this episode touches on the TVS Apache RR 310S sport bike and what it means for the small-displacement market; how to build a compelling supersport machine; rule changes that are coming to MotoAmerica and WorldSBK and what that means for production bikes; and then we finish with a look at the media landscape in the motorcycle industry. It's a very interesting show.

Movements are afoot in the motorcycle industry, and in this episode we discuss the tectonic business changes that happened recently with the MAG Group and Yamaha. We then discuss Ben Spies' return to motorcycle racing, and on a larger level why there aren't any Americans in Grand Prix racing right now. The conversation then turns to how the industry needs to change to meet the needs of a new generation of rider and enthusiast. It's a pretty meaty show, so be sure to bring a beverage with you.

Come join us on December 13th, for a (free) live show in San Francisco. We'll be talking bikes at the Dainese D-Store (131 S Van Ness), from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, with a healthy amount of rabbit holes. We hope that all our Bay Area listeners will come join us!

More new bikes! Quentin and Jensen cover the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, and all the new models and concept that debuted there. Of special note, Jensen hasn't slept in 4 days and averaged a Red Bull every 2hs, so....yeah...it's a fun show.

Fresh from the unveiling of the 6th generation Honda Gold Wing, we talk firstly about the new tourer from Honda. After a quick discussion about Suzuki pulling out of two major MX series, we get down to a talk about the new bikes that debuted at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, like the Yamaha Niken three-wheeler...which Quentin really hates.

Harley-Davidson's sales are down, KTM has a new electric dirt bike, and it's Jensen's birthday. In other words, another great podcast about motorcycles.

A quick ride review of the new Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 and Aprilia Shiver 900, and then we take a deep dive into the future of electric vehicles, and the future of transportation just in general.

The new Honda Gold Wing revealed, Skully's resurrection, concussions and helmet safety need to be taken seriously, Rossi truly is The Doctor, and Ducati debuts its V4 motor and photos of its next superbike leak.

We say goodbye to the 2017 MV Agusta Brutale 800, and talk about this peppy Italian machine that's been in our garage for the past few weeks, and then we move down to SoCal, where we "rode" the Polaris Slingshot. The show then turns to a talk about BMW's plethora of recalls and the possibility of synthetic fuels for the future.

Catching up on some industry news, the guys talk about BMW's multiple vehicle recalls, Ducati's traction control upgrade, Triumph partnering with Bajaj, and they also break some news about the turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa that's coming for the 2019 model year.
