Motorcycles, roasts, DIY garages, influencers, Giving a Shift about the future. This is episode 110. <\/p>\n
Hey, I didin\u2019t even realize that the dumb dumb Superbowl was happening this weekend until I watched Jimmy Fallon just a few minutes ago. Is that still a thing?
\nThere is so much more happening this weekend, I hope I\u2019m not alone when I say I\u2019ll be out enjoying the twisties and blue skies.<\/p>\n
Before we begin, I\u2019d 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 from Zazzle! You\u2019re worth it! In the spirit of the show, you can even customize it and send us pics. <\/p>\n
Part one: This week, we\u2019re coming to you from another garage. Instead of a radical customs and scooter hop-up shop, we headed to downtown L.A. for a peek inside Lucky Wheels Garage.
\nFor those in the know, Lucky Wheels is a DIY shop that offers a place to hang as well as a place to wrench, build, and learn. You\u2019ll hear more about it, so I don\u2019t want to give it away, but let\u2019s just say they are a big deal in Los Angeles\u2019 motorcycle subculture. Ty and Jackson were gracious hosts, and we are grateful for their hospitality.<\/p>\n
Our guests are Diggs & Ghost, two young enthusiasts who love motorbikes, and decided to share their passion after their college days were over. They engage riders and non-riders alike through their humor and their YouTube videos. I saw them speak at the Give a Shift Happy Hour a couple of weeks ago, and now YOU get to hear their story, and learn what they are doing to make the two-wheeled life more livable.<\/p>\n
Part two: Roast my bike\u2026 Well, let\u2019s just say we had some back up this time. There\u2019s nothing like roasting a bike with 2 garage founders and 2 funny-guys around to help land blows. This time the victim is a helpless 2002 SV650 \u201cCustom\u201d. But aren\u2019t they all? And what does \u201ccustom\u201d really imply?
\nMuch thanks to listener Lawrence from Arizona (but we think you should root for the Chiefs instead of the Cardinals) for sending in his bike to get the (Kansas City) Royal treatment.<\/p>\n
Part three: Wiggins and I shoot the shit on our ride home from Lucky Wheels and talk about DIY garages, new riders, e-bikes, and you get to hear directions to his house via Waze.
\nWe also talk about other countries where people ride 50-125cc bikes with 12 people on them or drag race with nothing more than flip flops and shorts on. <\/p>\n
Part 4: I tell you what\u2019s happening in the next few weeks even though I have no clue. And I leave you with the song that I promised you at the end of last week\u2019s show. It\u2019s by me. Don\u2019t get excited. <\/p>\n
