Sizing Our Numbskulls

Episode 169:

A couple weeks back, Chuck ordered off for a LidPicker, brought to us by the fine folks at Motorcyclegear.com. After being pretty pleased with the results of the recommended helmet, we convinced Paul and Aaron to come on to talk about the company and the LidPicker as well as do a live measuring of Todd to see what the system had to say about HIS head. After trying it out, we think the LidPicker is a pretty damned neat idea. Be sure to go check it out the next time you're shopping for a helmet.

Chuck's Song

Episode 168:

This time, we're joined by Ted of the Motorcycle Men Podcast! He comes on to right the wrongs we've done about the Harley lifestyle and to talk all about his days of waking up spitting bullets and wading through the discarded underwear of his various sexual conquests. I think that's how the Harley lifestyle goes. I'm pretty sure I read in a brochure at a Harley dealer. Something about skulls, too. There were a lot of skulls.

Episode 167:

So this episode is a bit hacked together. As I explain in the beginning, we originally had a guest on to talk about some stuff but afterwards, they decided they didn't want that to run. I've made an effort to try and piece together as complete a show as possible without the interview and our post-talk. Fortunately, we got Jen back on the show to cohost with us so we have a lot of other stuff to chat about!

Episode 164:

After a long hiatus from the internet-waves, James from the Pace Podcast joins us for a good old fashioned ramble cast where we take some time to catch up with the veteran podcaster, get a quick update about the Pace, and then go on to shoot all kinds of crap all over this fun hobby world of motorcycling. 

I am not going to post the link to the video of the unfortunate accident we talk about in the show. Just... no. Don't be a Billy. Don't ride stupid. Don't ride on the back of stupid. And if you're in the front, think about the responsibility you have to the safety of the person behind you much less to yourself, ya numbskull. We all see way too many bikes with two people riding foolishly.
