Creative Riding Episode 125 “Talky Talk-a Talk”
This week we talk, and talk, and talk. Luckily MOST of it motorcycle related.
Welcome to Episode 125 of the Podcast called Creative Riding
On this week’s show Chris wanted to keep it under 2 hours. And then talked for over two hours. That’s how we roll here at Creative Riding studios… always going above and beyond our own expectations. And hopefully yours.
Segement 1: Open segment. I talk about riding and electronics stores. Chris updates us on Trusty Rusty’s new design. S*** about to get whack, son!! Check out his Instagram for the temporary tank and let your eyeballs cry at the goodness!! I can’t wait to see the permanent tank when it comes back from paint. He’s also going to be up north haunting the RSD Super Hooligans National Championship at the Big Time Speedway, only he’s going to be on the Sac Mile track.
I forget how we get there, but we talk about riding in “old age”- meaning barely into your thirties (Don’t tell Simon Ted Simon, Troy Baliss, Preston Petty, or Malcolm Smith that we said that). Actually I think we start by talking about Patreon Supporters and Field_Initiatives_Knives customers. I fast forward a bit to talk about the BrotoGP podcast and Road Racing. Chris has some ideas about why road racing sucks.
Segment 2: Real news
*Travis Pastrana and Indian S*** all over Robert C Knievel’s accomplishments
*We tax bikes so Europe will buy our hormone-ridden beef, they tax our bikes so that we will buy their steel.
*Before the GSX250R even has a chance to hit showrooms, Suzuki patents the GSX-R300
*Like the CB1100, the Grom has a retro version- the Monkey 125 (Due in 2019)
*MoT safety checks get harder
*Isle of Man starts in a couple weeks, and the Supersport class looks awesome. John McGuinness is also going to be a very busy man!
*Pike’s Peak IHC starts after IoMTT, and Ducati returns to try and reclaim the title on it’s new Mutistrada 1260 Pikes Peak model.
Segement 3: Wisconsin is on the phone! Let’s hear about some racing! I could even race!
Who should we be looking for? Who is going to win this year?
Segment 4: Ask Wiggz!! Send your questions to askwiggz@gmail.com Wiggins doesn’t tell us who it’s from, and I was too wasted ask.
Segment 5: Wisconsin… is that you AGAIN?! This time you’ll hear about a great group bike build and race coming up tomorrow (5/19/18).
Segment 6: Wiggins and I are still talking! Not hard to believe. I wanted to talk about the “What If” of the motorcycle industry. My idea to revive the industry is to sell bikes every-other year. Look at some of the Hondas (Grom, Shadow line, etc.) Also the Yamaha FJRs and some of the Suzukis that skip a year or two(think about our “10 year bikes” conversation).
OEMs would only have to make bikes for 5 years, but would be able to sell them for 10! Also, updates and upgrades would be easier to implement when you already have scheduled production breaks built into your lead time.
