Creative Riding Episode 107 : “Just as Worse”
Motorcycles, roasts, CAN-Bus, suppliers, what else? Get your info here.
Well, you’ve made it to episode 107. Congrats!
On this episode we discuss listener feed back.
We have a round of Instagram Shoutouts at the end of the show.
Before we begin, I’d like to encourage you to take a ride over to https://creative-riding.com/WPMaster/mugs-for-sale/ and use the link to buy yourself a mug! You’re worth it! In the spirit of the show, you can even customize it and send us pics.
Part one: Wiggins takes some listener questions and we get down on a listener’s inquiry about CAN-Bus systems. We’ll imply what a Bus is if you aren’t exactly sure, but do you really trust us? We’ll try to answer the question without knowing all of the technical specs of the actual components being talked about. If you want to check out a gadget that will help you minimize wires and add electronic capabilities, check out the MotoGadget.
Part two: Roast my bike… Well, let’s just say we bring the kindergarten insults to the table and TRY to make fun of Lance’s (sonofcorax on instagram) 2016 Triumph Rocket III in Crackle Blue Metallic. It’s harder than we thought, and in all honesty, we are the ones who deserve to be made fun of. Our jokes were pretty horrible, and the final score was: Rocket III = 1; Creative Riding chumps = 00.
In my defense, I meant to say “Evel Knievel asked for a Triumph Rocket III for his last jump, because he had nothing left to lose”.
This all comes from a place of love and comedy, and Lance & the Rocket III are both lovely Canadians who wanted to play along with the Roast my Bike game. Next time we’ll be funnierest, and we might pick a better looking bike that more people own.
New phrase = ‘Just as Worse’.
Part three: Lets get into the ‘Who’ and ‘Where’ to get parts for your bikes. In support of our ongoing build series, it’s important that we tell you where you can get parts and supplies that you need to customize and build YOUR bike to YOUR specification. From cables to covers, we will list off a few vendors and resources for you to consider when getting started on your BikeEXIF candidate.
