The Wheelnerds

Where Everybody Knows You Wrench

Episode 192:

 

 

We put together a special roundtable interview for this episode. We've gathered together a number of Community Garage owners to talk about the Community Garage movement and their own individual garages. What's a Community Garage? It's a business that offers you a place and tools to wrench on your bike. And because it's a community, there's sure to be some folks there who can lend some knowledge and fill in the gaps. You pay a monthly fee and you have a place and resouces for all your wrenching needs. 

 

Participants:

• Brian from Skidmark Garage in Cleveland, OH
• Matt from Motogarage in Chicago, IL
• Dave and Jen from Cerberus Moto in San Diego, CA
• Cory and Lori from Engine and Frame in Richmond, VA

AIMExpo Part Un

 

Correction: Chuck was incorrect about the name badged changing from previous years. They are all the same. He still had his old ones and he got them mixed up in his head with the IMS badges.  

Episode 190:

AIMExpo! We bring on Roe from Project Archivist. He went to AIM with Chuck and the two recount everything to Todd. This is going to be part one of our coverage with all the on-site interviews coming in part 2! See some of the pictures we took here: FLICKR album

Bedazzled For Hire

 

Episode 188:

Chuck's back and Charlie's brexited! We catch up with each other and also welcome back Friend Of Show, Nichole! She's literally at Sturgis and gives up a live update on what it's like there. She also gives us the idea for our next great money-making scheme of mobile bedazzling Ural booth at next year's Sturgis. For some weird reason, I've completely lost all the links for this week's classifieds. So...yeah, that's a thing.

Frosting Sandwich

Episode 186:

Hi! It's been a minute. Between Todd's vacation and Chuck's honeymoon combined with computer issues on the machine that we've been using for editing, well, it's taken some work to get this episode together but here we go. This week, we're talking with Brandon Holzworth of Nuviz, the HUD-display for Motorcycles. We managed to time it just as Chuck got his hands on one of the Nuviz units to try out on his helmet. We also learn some dark secrets about Todd's past when it comes to food.

Butts and Hot Soup

Episode 185:

 

This week, Chuck turns in his on-site interview with Seth Laam of Laam Seats (http://laamseats.com), a customizer of motorcycle seats that your butt will love. We booked a ride-in appointment to Seth's location in Redding, CA and promptly screwed that up because Chuck is bad at calendars. Seth took it all in stride and sat down with Chuck the day after to continually remind him how bad he was at that. He talks about his history and his approach to crafting seats and a bunch of stuff in between. It's a LONG show this time around. I think this one beats out the Morrow one by a bit and clocks in right around the two hour mark total. We had a great time chatting with Seth and he's an awesome dude to hang out with while he's griding something to fit your ass. Riding back from California was a joy on a Laam seat. Meanwhile, Todd got to hold down the fort and meet a listener, proving that he is real.  

 

You can see all the pics from the making of the new seat at: http://www.instagram.com/wheelnerds

A Little About AIMExpo

Episode 184:

 

We're talking all about the AIMExpo with Larry Little. Larry is the AIMExpo Vice President and General Manager. He's talking with us about AIMExpo's move to Columbus, Ohio for this year as well as it being in Las Vegas next year. He gives us the history and details behind the Expo and then goes on to talk to us about a very cool charity he is very passionate about: http://www.curethekids.org/, which is leading the fight against childhood brain tumors.

Cheaper Than A Harley, Innit?

Episode 181:

 

Welcome to the ramblecast. Or in this case, Classified-Palooza. This is an out-of-order one that got shuffled back to move some interview shows up in the release order. So, you'll hear about how I'm selling the Buell (which is already sold). Because I was lazy, I didn't scoop up all the classifieds to archive here but got some of them for you to follow along with.
