  • Podcast 640: Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials

    Podcast 640: Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials
    Sep 8 2025
    Attending the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials has been a bucket list event for us, so when an opportunity came up we took it. Now you might think Bonneville is all about speed, and for the most part it is, but what was most amazing was the community (or the salt family as we came to learn). You'll find everything from 50cc antique bikes to 3000cc fully shrouded custom built streamliners, and everything in between. We talked with some of the racers, like Chris Rivas who pilots the Bub 7 Streamliner, and James Hammond on his BMW S1000R that is also his street bike. We also talked to the legend Denis Manning, who built the Bub 7, specifically about the 3000cc 4 cylinder V-twin motor that he designed and built himself. We talked to volunteers Edwin, Larry, Sergio and Alan, and learn more about the scrutineering process, as well as how all of the bikes are categorized. We also recorded some of the sounds of Bonneville, like the rider's meeting, announcements, and bike inspections so that you could get a sense of what it's like to be there yourself.

  • Podcast 639: Moto Fantasy Camp

    Podcast 639: Moto Fantasy Camp
    Sep 1 2025
    Wendy Crockett joins the Misfits for a weekend of dirt instruction, wrenching and podcasting. In this episode Jim and Liza give a small recap on the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, and Jim tells a story about trying to fix a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, and ultimately running out of f**ks. Wendy and Liza taught a basic dirt bike class, and have some ideas of their own of what should be included in the perfect moto training camp. In lieu of Wendy being here, we all state what we think is the best long distance riding bike you can buy right now, and some of them are not what you would expect. And lastly we read listener emails. With Liza, Wendy, Miss Emma, Neil, Naked Jim and Bagel. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ adifferentagenda.com/products/the-lost-tribe-25 motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

  • Podcast 638: Replay - The Flying Angel Debbie Lawler

    Podcast 638: Replay - The Flying Angel Debbie Lawler
    Aug 24 2025
    Here's another one of Liza's favorites from the archives, daredevil Debbie Lawler. When Debbie beat Even Knievel's jumping record in February 1974 at the age if 21, the American press was riveted. While there had been a handful of women who raced motorcycles there hadn't been any female daredevils professionally jumping them - much-less upstaging the brashest stunt rider of the era on national TV. Newspapers labeled her the "female Evel Knievel," a "motorcycle madam" and "tigress on a cycle." We talk to her about how she got into jumping, how she got out and how awesome her dad was.

    Podcast 637: Dream Garage, Dream Property, Dream Neighborhood
    Aug 18 2025
    We all dream about the perfect garage. What would be in yours? All the best tools? Couches? A cigar bar and big screen TV? What about a clean checkerboard floor to display all of your bikes? Now take it bigger; what would your dream parcel be? Would your land have a track and a giant barn size shop? Maybe a bike wash station? Now dream even bigger. What if you could take over and old mall, make the Sears the bike shop, the Macy's and indoor track, the parking lot a supermoto track, and all of the shops could be apartments for you and your friends. We talk about our dreams and what would be in our fantasy garages. We also talk about Liza's Harley and what it's going to take to sell it in this market, what's in the box of goodies from a listener, Scotties Toot Scoot ride on a C70, and we read listener emails, one of which makes us really think about riding, the risks and what we overcome to ride.

  • Podcast 637: When Old Simplicity Beats New Technology

    Podcast 637: When Old Simplicity Beats New Technology
    Aug 11 2025
    We all love new technology; ABS brakes, fuel injection, traction control, etc. But when is it too much? Sometimes it's nice to have a simple bike that is all mechanical, and everything can be taken apart and fixed. Advancing or retarding the timing, changing the jets and being able to easily access the spark plugs. These are things that we like having control of. Now don't get your panties in a wad about modern technology. We know that overall it's made motorcycling safer and more accessible to many, but for those that like to diagnose, tweak and rebuild, sometimes the technology just gets in the way.

  • Podcast 636: Modern Retro Vintage Nostalgia

    Podcast 636: Modern Retro Vintage Nostalgia
    Aug 4 2025
    Everyone is wrong according to Miss Emma. What is often referred to as a retro bike, is in fact a nostalgia bike. In some cases, it might be a vintage, or a modern retro, or even a modern retro vintage. So what is the difference? And what category do "retro" bikes really belong in? Sit back and listen to the Misfits get into the minutiae of it. And while we are in it, let's just hop into another debatable topic. What is the official color of each brand of bike? Some are very clear and mutually agreed upon, and others seem to vary based on the era you remember fondly. We also talk a little bit more about AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days (or is it retro?) and read listener emails.
