So, this is listener Jim Hampshire and this dude rode a Harley-Davidsion Pan Am recently in then 2021 Iron Butt Rally. That's 11,000 miles in 11 days across America, man. BUT ON A HARLEY PAN AM! He comes on to tell us the whys and the hows and the severe brain injuries he suffered earlier on in life that led to him making such bad decisions now!
You can can check out his YouTube where he blogs a bit about it:

That looks comfy for... not 11 days.
I see an upside wombat.

Our guest this week is Axe DeKruif. Engineer, chopper maker, rider, driver, dude who rode his BMW S1000RR from San Diego, CA to Jacksonville, FL in a record-setting 33 hours and 10 minutes. He's talking to us about the movie he's made to document the experience and we immediately shove that noise overboard and grill him about the FLIR camera he's hooked up to the bike as well the other mods he made to the bike for the trip. I have a suspicion the trip and the movie all exist just so that he can make the world listen to his singing voice.
You can check him and get more info about purchasing/renting the movie out at Ychrome.com.
See the trailer for the movie on YouTube.

What?:
Buell Motorcycle Company posted this as a teaser to their Facebook page. Real planned product or something they found on EBR's fileserver after they bought them? Or is it announcing a add-on headlight system for the Pan American that allows for rider-controlled emojis?

Episode 300:
ADVANCE NOTICE: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SO MUCH MORE ADVENTURE THAN THE FDA RECOMMENDS, YOU MAY NOTICE SOME AUDIO DISTORTION. AND BY SOME, I MEAN, A LOT OF. AND BY AUDIO DISTORTION, I MEAN WIND. AND BY A LOT OF WIND, I MAY MEAN A HURRICANE. REST ASSURED THAT WE MENTIONED YOU SPECIFICALLY BY NAME DURING THE PART YOU CAN'T MAKE OUT.
We recorded this show during the return leg of Operation "Pick Up Todd's Guzzi." Todd got himself a shiny new Guzzi and we trucked it down to Las Vegas to pick it up from the showroom floor. Pulling into a campsite on the way back for the night, we decided to bust out the digital recorder and record some wind noises to use for our special Halloween "HauntedNerds" episode. We ran into a dude. Todd's bike spit parts. Chuck's car proved quite comfy during a daytime burn across the Nevada desert following Todd.
And now, some PICTURES:
We demand style!
He's doing his happy dance
The Moto Guzzi V85 TT and a dirtbag
What the hell with those shoes?
At least he's not riding in them...
A hoodoo. Todd's wearing those sandals off-frame. Guaran-fucking-tee.

Episode 234:
Returning guest Alisa Clickenger and Todd have to remind Chuck that Alisa is, in fact, a returning guest because Chuck is dumb. Alisa is the author of Boost Your Confidence Through Motorcycling and the founder of Women's Motorcycle Tours. She comes on to talk about the recent Women's Motorcycle Conference Online, an adaption to the quarantines and social-distancing by moving what would have been an in-person conference completely online via zoom sessions and such. She also talks about the Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride 2020 that's she's been working on but now unsure because of the Year Known As 2020. And don't forget she was one of the driving forces behind Revvtalks which we recently participated in as well. She's a great guest and a lot of fun to talk with.

Episode 233:
Austin Rothbard of peer-to-peer motorcycle rental outfit, Twisted Road, comes back to catch up with us and let us know how things are going with TR and the improvements they've made as a company. Chuck shares how he did not immediately crash the bike he rented while out in Long Beach. Definitely check out the blog section of the website for cool guides and articles written by the company and community members and not just journal entries about Austin's impressive and quite comprehensive collection of tea cozies. (there's a secret link on the blog page to that, but you'll have to email them for how to access it!)
