75 episodes? Really?   It has been a greater experience than I could have ever hoped for and I can now attest, if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.  This podcast has become something more than when it started and I have all of you to thank for that. I'm grateful.   Two of our regular guests return this week. First Terry Connett is here to drop the green flag on The Durango Rendezvous. It's a one of a kind event making a Covid comeback in 2022. Then, Tim Sutherland...

Wow. That was all I could say as I finalized production of this show.  For me, covering these racers and having the chance to talk to them in something more than a soundbite is a dream job, come true. This week, I talked with two racers from two different disciplines, both of whom can make Indian enthusiasts, proud.  There is no other American Flat Track racer quite like Jared Mees. Gritty. Calculated. Determined. All adjectives that swirl around a family guy who just also happens to be a...

This season, the competition on the track has reached its highest levels. In the AFT Super Twins presented by S&S, it's come down to a head to head shootout between the factory team riders - Jared Mees and Briar Bauman.

It comes down to one race, winner take all, no do overs... Behind the bikes and the riders are the teams. For...

Also, the Progressive American Flat Track National Championship will be crowed in early October and this time, its winner take all. Briar Bauman and Jared...

Motorcycle dealerships. Some guys of a certain age, remember when they were the haunts of crusty old scooter tramps and their faithful iron. Smelling of burnt coffee, two-stroke exhaust, stale beer and cigarettes...they bore little resemblance to the places we hang around now. The modern Indian Motorcycle Dealership. Each has it's own claim to fame and its own personality, if you will.  They're extensions of their ownerships vision for themselves and the brand. I've visited some really great...

It has been the most incredible, taxing, demanding and amazing experience I ever could have hoped for. In early April, with the sale of my home, I moved into a 40' RV to travel America and meet riders like you. By late April, we were on the road, headed for the Carolinas. Stops in Charleston, SC and Charlotte, NC set the stage for the journey of a lifetime where I met hundreds of riders, traveled some incredible roads and took in the sights and sounds of life on the American highway. This...

In his characteristic, non-stop fashion, Brad has become a...
