  • The best podcast - and thanks for taking my dating game request!

    I’m Noah’s dad Randy. Thanks for taking our motorcycle dating game submission. I went with the Yamaha TTR50 since it has electric start (Honda CRF still kick start only). And as Spurge suspected, 7 year old Noah learned how to shift using the semi auto transmission in no time at all. He’s ripping around the 50cc like a boss. In hindsight, I’m happy I went with the gas powered bike instead of an electric bike. Keep up the good work on your podcast. I listen to every episode and have been for year... more

  • Laughing and crying

    I’m an old new rider. I rode bikes periodically growing up but got married and joined the military and then prioritized those over riding. Since retiring I have bought 2 bikes, HD ultra classic and 2025 Indian Pursuit 112. I really related to the 3 speakers in the trauma episode. The sheer joy they got out of riding was very relatable and we all deal with trauma/PTSD differently and that is when I am in my happy place. I listen and learn some from you guys from safety, habits even preferences. ... more

  • Forever Grateful

    This podcast I have been listening to for years (still working on catching up on all older episodes too).

    The information I have learned from this podcast has helped me figure out what to look for in my first motorcycle. I am happy to say that after 17 years of complaining to my wife, she FINALLY is okay with my getting a motorcycle this coming Spring.

    I owe this podcast for helping me - as I have used various bits of information to progress in persuading her, learn about the MSF (and taken it... more

  • Even if you don’t ride….

    This is easily one of the best podcasts out there. Spurgeon and Zack have great chemistry and it’s always fun hearing their enthusiasm on the topic at hand. My biggest complaint is that it’s not a more regular thing but I’ll forgive them, given the quality of the content.

    Love the show, guys! I always look forward to the next episode.

  • Hey hey hey now!

    Been thoroughly enjoying the pod whilst I’m at work.. some unbiased (and also some very heavily biased) opinions in a rarely touched on platform in podcast land. Thanks for the hard work to all the crew and hopefully I’ll be able to make an appearance in your bike sounds category soon.
