For this week, we decided to try out a call-in show. We opened up the Skype, hung out the virtual shingle, and waited around for calls. While we were waiting, my lil daughter came on down into the studio with us and got some mike time in. Shameless ratings grab!
Need yourself a plugged tire? We know where one is!
Listener Jeff G called in to tell us about his awesome long trips and his site: mototourers.com Sounds like him and his buddy have got a lot more planned for themselves. God help them if they really do it on Urals!
This is the brace we were talking to Brian about: Leatt STX Brace Is it worth it? Everyone makes their own call on this one. We’d be really interested in hearing from anyone that gets one!
From our listener email, first here’s the site to those dynamic-armor using jeans: http://www.kyrano-uk.com from Markus.
And here’s the video Franca pointed us to.
You’ll find that hilarious mini-van driver comment in there. Our attention was drawn to how many of these crashes this one guy seems to be capturing. I think we might have some talking to with this cameraman down the road coming… shameless plug.
Speaking of shameless, we got some winners on the Adventure Snack challenge! I didn’t think people were really going to do it, but shows what I know about how far some folks will go just to see us suffer. First up, is Chad:
Now, I don’t think Chad’s actually doing the Adventure Challenge. I think he’s getting himself a date. Way to lawyer your way in there, Chad!
A much better entry comes from Bryon!
Bryon’s got his bases covered. He’s on a Beemer, he’s got a modular helm, a ‘LOOK AT ME ADVENTURE’ jacket, and a Hardcore Milkbone. How do I know that last one? Cuz he followed up with:
“HARDCORE. I AM IT.”
Check out after the jump to see what we decided was the winner of this… and the promised followup.
Max Wedge sent us the glorious:
“Man on Ural Eating Ural Cake”
This one brought a tear to Todd’s eye.
Adventure jacket? Check. Expensive bike? Check. IN FRONT OF A FREAKING STARBUCKS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I dunno. It’s like they’ve turned it into some sort of group ritual. Awesome.
Also, that shirt’s doing a lot of visible goodness under the jacket like that. A+ for safety!
Nice work, guys. As promised… here are Todd and I, munching on some more adventure biscuits. Eating our own nutritious words..
Even the littlest Wheelnerd tastes the ADVENTURE
WHY AM I SUCKING ON IT?
Hard to say if it’s agreeing with Todd…
So… there ya go. I don’t want eat anymore so don’t send us any! Sheesh.
Don’t forget about our official Wheelnerds Disorganized Unpaid Correspondent Program. Basically, we want to hear some stuff from you! Ridden a bike (like your own) and got an opinion? Got a cool piece of gear or farkle? Got a story? Know some jokes? Record an MP3 (or whatever) and email it to us at wheelnerds@gmail.com. We’ll throw it on the air and talk about it, too. That’s right, you can be the first on your block to be openly mocked by the Wheelnerds. Alternatively, you could call our google talk # to the right there and leave us a message if you’ve got no way to record something. Or, even cooler, (to me, anyway), you can now also leave us a voicemail via Skype! Our skype ID is wheelnerds. Just go ahead, call, and leave us your story there! (We still read your emails, too, and will answer them on the show). If you got something really cool, shoot us a line and maybe we’ll talk to you live, too.
As always, you can listen to the episode above or download direct here:
