September, what we know now…
“It was the seventh of September, a day I’ll always remember… it was the day my podcast aired”
This September was choc full of major motorcycle events. The USA’s event calendar was practically bubbling over as people tried to relish the last of the summer’s warm riding weather.
Shortly after September hurricane season hit, and autumn started peekin’ in the windows.
In our first show of September we meet Keigh Serah, a.k.a. Sarah Guthrie. She is a teacher, singer/songwriter, cancer survivor, artist, dancer, author, camp owner, and fellow rider!
She operates a bike-friendly Air-b-n-b called Blue Heron Run. She also started mapping out some wonderful riding routes in rural Ohio, and has called them The Serpent’s Bones.
Focusing on the beauty of the surrounding landscape and the rich history of the area, The Serpent’s Bones are a winding journey back through time. If you want to book a trip at Blue Heron Run or ride through some natural beauty of South East Ohio follow these links:

Moto events!
There were a ton of moto events in September all across the USA.
Perhaps one of the biggest in the nation was Harley-Davidson’s 115th anniversary.
The Motor Company partied in Milwaukee, WI. with indoor flat track races and the Bradford Beach Brawl, which was like TROG meets flat track.
Early in the month, several Hooligans in the midwest and east coasthit up events at a few scattered events including Knoxville and Delmarva.
The Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club also held their eleventh annual VVMC Rally on the 22nd. This is a SoCal staple, and has grown tremendously over the last few years.
To finish out the month, Iron and Resin held the seventh annual Hooligan Hoedown in Bandit Town, CA. Not to be confused with the Hooligan Campout which our own Chris Wiggins hosted at El Mirage Dry Lake.
Junk was conspicuously absent, as he took part in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in Orange County, CA.
Among the guests that we had, Wiggins’ dad also stopped in the studio and gave us a little history lesson.
September was also full of news and political talk as it relates to the motorcycle industry. As 2019 approaches, many daring and tragic moves were made in the industry that affected current and future products.
Harley-Davidson also announced several new models, as did Can-Am and others. We talked about them all, including three-wheeled vehicles. Are they motorcycles? Are they cars? Are they worth it?
