Creative Riding Episode 91 Expensive Bikes and Emblems”

Motorcycles & misinformation.. yep, this is Creative Riding.

Welcome to episode 91.

Chris has the week off. He’s enjoying the luxurious palm-strewn beaches of the Cuba, puffing on an OG Cubano Cigar and watching the sea breeze gently blow boats and houses down the flooded streets. Actually, I have no clue where he is, so sit back and enjoy so quiet time with yours truly… 😉

In the first segment I talk about Top Tier Bikes… Why you need them, why we need them, why I need you, and you need me. I actually only talk about the first two parts.
High-dollar merchandise off-sets the cost of lower value, break-even products no matter what industry you’re in. Size doesn’t necessarily matter, but someone has to pay for all the R&D, and in motorcycling’s case, assembly, marketing, shipping, et cetera. Thank god for all of you old, retired or young, wealthy people. Without you being able to afford the Gold Wings, K1600GTs and CVO Road Glides the rest of us wouldn’t be able to buy CBR650s, G310Rs and XL883s!

The second main topic of the show is Emblems: What do they mean, and how do they get their start? Some companies have emblems with true iconography that would require a certificate in Heraldry to discern, while others simply have a cheap font and a wacky back-story. I chose 10 manufacturers at random and dug up the dirt on their brand icon.

Finally we’ll talk about American Flat Track. There are 2 rounds remaining, and the Twins already know their champion while the Singles are having last minute struggles at the top of the list!
