There's a side of motorcycle training almost no one talks about — the mental pressure of learning new skills in front of other riders. Why can training make you feel like you've suddenly gotten worse before you get better? Why does confidence sometimes drop even when your skills are improving? Through rider Erik Wilkinson's experience, along with insights from expert trainer Chris Birch and Monica Birch, we explore what's really happening in your mind during training — and how to manage it so you come out a stronger, more confident rider.

Motorcycles aren't meant to back up. If they were, they'd all come with reverse. Sometimes, turning around requires a little creativity—especially on dead-end trails, in parking lots, on hills, or even in your garage. In this episode of RIDER SKILLS, we have Clinton Smout walking us through a number of turnaround methods. Some you might expect, while others may raise your eyebrows—but all of them can be useful tools in your rider skills toolbox.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1289: GM revives the Bolt—but only briefly—as EV strategy shifts again. Scout Motors confirms its rugged Terra and Traveler won't reach customers until 2028. A new study finds heavy AI tool use may cause “AI brain fry.”Show Notes with links:GM is bringing back the Chevy Bolt—but not for long. The affordable EV is returning to production in Kansas, yet the company already plans to phase it out quickly as market realities, policy shifts, and demand changes reshape the EV strategy.The Bolt is planned as a “limited run.” Analysts expect production could end as early as next year as GM shifts the Kansas plant to build the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox starting in 2027.The Bolt historically brought a huge number of conquest buyers—about 75% of owners were new to GM, and roughly 72% stayed within the brand when buying their next vehicle.Chevy still sees EVs as a key growth channel even as incentives disappear and demand cools. As Chevy VP Scott Bell told dealers: “You worked so hard to freakin' be No. 2. Why would you let it go?”Scout Motors fans hoping to get behind the wheel soon will need a little more patience. The revived off-road brand says its Terra pickup and Traveler SUV are still on track—but real customer deliveries likely won't start until 2028.Scout CEO Scott Keogh confirmed that while vehicles should begin rolling off the production line in 2027, customer deliveries are expected sometime in 2028.The company plans multiple prototype phases starting in 2026, building successive generations of test vehicles through 2027 to refine the platform, software, and production process.A February report from German outlet Der Spiegel had already flagged technical challenges causing delays, though Keogh pushed back on the framing: "There's no defining 'Oh my God' technical challenge that can't be solved. There are hurdles every minute of every day… Automotive startup business is what I see.”As AI tools flood the workplace, researchers are spotting a new side effect: “AI brain fry.” A Harvard Business Review study found that while AI boosts productivity, juggling too many tools at once can lead to mental fog, slower decisions, and cognitive overload for some workers.A study of 1,488 full-time U.S. workers found about 14% report symptoms of “AI brain fry,” including mental fog, headaches, and slower decision-making after heavy AI use.Productivity rises when workers use one or two AI tools, but gains flatten or decline when juggling three or more, as constant switching and verification increase cognitive load.The effect is most common in marketing (25.9%), HR (19.3%), operations (17.9%), and software engineering (17.8%), industries adopting AI tools fastest.Today's show is brought to you by iPaJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What keeps a classic car honest isn't a fresh coat of paint—it's the quiet, careful work that makes it start, steer, and stop like it should. We sit down with Tim Winton, founder of Cambrian Classics in West Wales, to unpack the craft of mechanical stewardship: how a small, dedicated team brings MGs, Triumphs, Austin‑Healeys, Alfas, and air‑cooled VWs back from the shed to the street. Tim shares the overlooked checks that transform the driving experience—like why an MGB's steering rack must be oil‑filled—and how correct tire pressures, proper lubrication, and smart carb and ignition tuning often beat expensive “upgrades.”Tim's journey from the modern motor trade to a thriving classic workshop reveals what really builds trust: consistent results and a feel for how these machines were meant to behave. We talk MG identity in 2026, the difference between bodywork makeovers and true recommissioning, and why variety—from a TR5 to a rare Humber Hawk—keeps the craft sharp. You'll hear how long‑stored cars return to life step‑by‑step, and why experience across “a hundred variations on a theme” helps diagnose issues by sound and feel alone.We broaden the lens with two practical segments for everyday drivers and road‑trippers. First, a clear look at parking space design—30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° layouts—how aisle widths and one‑way flow affect access, safety, and door clearance, and why perpendicular slots can be the worst for usability. Then we map five spring break road trips across the United States: the Grand Canyon loop from Flagstaff, California's Pacific Coast Highway, the Great Smoky Mountains, Utah's Mighty Five, and the timeless pull of Route 66. Whether you drive a well‑loved MG or a modern SUV, you'll leave with actionable tips and fresh ideas for the next journey.If this mix of hands‑on wisdom and road inspiration hit the mark, follow the show, share it with a car‑loving friend, and leave a quick review so more enthusiasts can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria dell'8 Marzo 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali. Banche, Mercati e NomineTestate: la Repubblica / Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera * Consob: Inizia la reggenza di Chiara Mosca dopo la scadenza del mandato di Paolo Savona (8 marzo). La nomina del successore (ipotesi Federico Freni) è in impasse per veti politici. * Corporate Governance: In agenda assemblee rilevanti per i rinnovi dei vertici di Eni, Enel, Poste e Leonardo; l'orientamento del governo è per la conferma degli Amministratori Delegati uscenti. * Borsa Spa: Rischio di scontro legale tra CDP ed Euronext per il rinnovo dell'AD Fabrizio Testa. * MPS: Cresce la tensione sulla verità del caso David Rossi mentre la banca gestisce la propria uscita dalla crisi.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera / la Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Messaggero / Il Giornale * Crisi del Golfo e Hormuz: Lo Stretto di Hormuz, dove transita il 20% del petrolio globale e il 90% del GNL asiatico, è in una fase di blocco sostanziale. * KPI Idrocarburi: * Petrolio: Il WTI è salito del 36% in una settimana a 90,9$, il Brent ha toccato i 92,7$ (+28%). Analisti prevedono il superamento di quota 100$ al barile. * Gas: Quotazioni al TTF di Amsterdam salite del 50-67% in una settimana, raggiungendo i 52,8 €/Mwh. * Sicurezza Alimentare: Il Golfo esporta il 14,4% dei fertilizzanti mondiali (urea al 45% della produzione globale). L'urea è rincarata del 26% in una settimana (600$/t). * Scenario Bellico: Documenti dell'intelligence USA (NIC) ritengono "improbabile" che il conflitto porti al collasso del regime iraniano.Fisco, Normativa e DifesaTestate: Il Messaggero / Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera * Accise Mobili: Il Governo valuta un decreto per attivare le accise mobili, utilizzando l'extra-gettito IVA per ridurre l'imposta sui carburanti di circa 6-7 centesimi. * Lotta all'Evasione: Piano Gdf 2026 contro le "Partite IVA apri e chiudi". Target: chiusura di 9.000 posizioni nel 2026 (9.500 nel 2027). Scoperta frode da 5 miliardi € a Senigallia con 433 società cartiere. * Difesa Servizi: Trasformazione in holding della società in-house della Difesa per valorizzare gli asset e investire in IA e Quantum Computing. * PNRR: Emendamento per prorogare i contratti cloud e digitali, con incremento dei valori massimi fino al 50% e stanziamento di 100 milioni €.Industria, Automotive e LavoroTestate: la Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Messaggero * Impatto Imprese: La CGIA di Mestre stima un costo della guerra di 10 miliardi € per le aziende italiane nel 2026 (7,2 mld elettricità, 2,6 mld gas). La Lombardia è la regione più colpita con 2,3 mld di costi aggiuntivi. * Carburanti: Il gasolio ha superato i 2 €/litro in autostrada. Per il settore autotrasporto, si stimano costi aggiuntivi di 11.000 € per singolo autocarro. * Pharma: Il Gruppo Menarini chiude il 2025 con fatturato di 4,89 miliardi € (+6%). Sospeso l'investimento per il nuovo stabilimento di Firenze: i costi sono quasi raddoppiati, passando da 150 a 300 milioni €. * Semiconduttori: Il blocco delle forniture di elio e gas rari dal Qatar mette a rischio la filiera dei chip in Asia (Samsung, SK Hynix).Politica e Riforme (Referendum)Testate: Corriere della Sera / la Repubblica / La Verità / Il Fatto Quotidiano * Referendum Giustizia (22-23 marzo): Scontro frontale sulla separazione delle carriere e la riforma del CSM. Marina Berlusconi sostiene il "Sì" per una giustizia "terza"; l'opposizione e costituzionalisti (Enzo Cheli) paventano un indebolimento del potere giudiziario. * Comunali Milano 2027: Inizia la ricerca del candidato civico per il centrodestra (nomi emersi: Marina Brambilla, Ferruccio Resta), ma i partiti alleati frenano sul profilo puramente civico.Executive Takeaway (Insight per C-Suite) * Shock Energetico e Stagflazione: Il raddoppio dei prezzi del gas in una settimana e il petrolio verso i 100$ configurano un rischio concreto di riaccensione dell'inflazione e frenata del PIL nel Q2 2026. * Rischio Supply Chain: Il blocco dei fertilizzanti azotati e dell'urea produrrà un aumento dei prezzi alimentari (pane, pasta, carne) con un lag di pochi mesi, impattando sui consumi interni. * Governance e Stabilità: La linea governativa di confermare i vertici delle partecipate di Stato (Eni, Enel, Leonardo) punta a garantire continuità operativa in una fase di estrema volatilità internazionale. * Resilienza Industriale: Grandi player (es. Menarini) stanno mettendo in pausa investimenti strategici causa raddoppio dei costi di costruzione e incertezza energetica, segnalando un possibile rallentamento del CAPEX industriale in Italia. * Focus Fiscale: La nuova strategia Gdf focalizzata sulle "Partite IVA apri e chiudi" e l'incrocio delle banche dati aumenterà la pressione sui controlli neocostituiti, richiedendo massima compliance documentale.

On a mountain road on Colorado's Guanella Pass, motorcyclist Adam Lamb spots a moose stepping out of the brush. Two seconds later, he's airborne, both arms broken and stranded off the road without cell service. Just behind him is Roger Matthews—a board-certified physician and search-and-rescue volunteer—who arrives and immediately begins managing the scene. In this episode, Adam recounts the moments leading up to the crash while Roger explains how he approached scene safety, organized bystanders, and assessed Adam's injuries as they waited for help to arrive. We explore wildlife hazards, speed and stopping distance, emergency braking, and why first aid training and preparation can make a critical difference when riding remote roads.

Today I'm joined by David Wyler, CEO of Jeff Wyler Automotive Family. We dig into why Wyler abandoned traditional corporate management in favor of a “coach” model, how a strict 100-mile acquisition rule protects execution, and why culture—not capital—is the only defensible edge left in consolidation. David also unpacks his massive acquisition of the Midwest Auto Group, the lessons of stagnation during COVID, and what it really takes to scale a family business without losing its soul.

"Nature or nurture?... It's definitely both." - Tianna Mick Kalina highlights the measurable impact of a structured trade-up program and how dealerships can unlock hidden revenue within their existing customer base. Tianna dives into the importance of personal branding in automotive sales, balancing professionalism with authenticity, and standing out in a crowded marketplace. Together, they unpack how women in automotive leadership are reshaping dealership culture and influencing the next generation of sales professionals! "If we get better, our audience will demand that we get bigger." - Sean V. Bradley Whether you're a dealer principal, general manager, sales manager, BDC leader, or automotive sales professional, this episode delivers practical insights and forward-thinking strategies to help your dealership grow sustainably in a changing market. Key Takeaways: ✅ Mindset and Balance: Kalina underscores the importance of a positive mindset in achieving success and the balanced dynamics of working alongside family. ✅ Embracing Opportunities: Tianna emphasizes leveraging the opportunities within the automotive industry and employing resources like training to excel. ✅ Value of Data Mining: Kalina shares actionable tips on how data mining and equity-mining campaigns can yield tangible results for dealerships. ✅ Family Business Dynamics: The episode showcases the interplay of family dynamics in running a successful business, highlighting a robust familial synergy. ✅ Constant Improvement: Inspired by anecdotes of industry stories, Sean discusses the perpetual need for personal and professional growth within the automotive realm. About Kalina Bradley Kalina Bradley is an experienced professional in the automotive industry with a celebrated career traceable to her early start in sales. She has gained multifaceted expertise through roles in sales, loyalty and customer retention, finance, and dealership management. Currently, Kalina has joined Dealer Synergy, contributing her rich industry experience to enhance the company's training and consulting services. About Tianna Mick Tianna Mick, also known as T Got Your Keys, is a recognized figure in the automotive sales training realm. Aside from her influential work with Dealer Synergy, Tianna's reputation extends to her prowess as a professional speaker, consistently offering insights on dealership strategies pertaining to modern sales techniques and customer relationship management. She thrives in leveraging social media and digital platforms to revolutionize the traditional dealership model. Navigating the Automotive Industry: Lessons in Family, Leadership, and Innovation Key Takeaways: Embrace family dynamics in business to foster a supportive and resilient work environment. Prioritize continuous improvement over quick growth to ensure long-term success. Harness the power of mindset and adaptability to thrive in evolving industries. Exploring the Role of Family in Business Success In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the concept of a "family business" often conjures images of small, corner stores or boutique operations. However, as demonstrated by the Bradley family's enterprise, Dealer Synergy, incorporating family into business can lead to substantial success, even in large-scale operations. Tianna Mick and Kalina Bradley illustrate this dynamic in action, noting, "It feels like a small mom and pop, right? But we're literally helping multi-billion dollar organizations partner with OEMs like Toyota." The unique advantage here lies in the innate support system and motivation derived from working with loved ones. As Sean V. Bradley articulates, "Every day, I get to go to work with my wife for the last 19 years… so when I am on my deathbed, I am not going to be complaining. I wish I had a couple more seconds." By fostering such an integrated family-business environment, the Bradleys not only strengthen their personal bonds but also amplify their business impact. This synergy is particularly evident in how effortlessly Tianna and Kalina collaborate, drawing on diverse strengths to drive Dealer Synergy's mission forward. The implications of this family-oriented approach extend far beyond personal satisfaction. For the automotive industry and businesses at large, integrating family dynamics can concurrently nurture a resilient company culture and a unified vision, both pivotal in navigating the challenges of today's market. Leveraging family ties in business also ensures that an organization's values align seamlessly from leadership to execution. Continuous Improvement as a Strategy for Growth A standout theme in the transcript—and in business more broadly—is the emphasis on improving rather than just expanding. This mindset is encapsulated in Sean V. Bradley's anecdote about Chick Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, who famously stated, "I don't want any of you to talk about how we're going to get bigger and faster. The only thing I want to hear about is how are we going to get better." For businesses in the automotive industry, this philosophy underscores the importance of focusing on enhancing operations, customer service, and internal processes, rather than simply chasing after sales. Kalina Bradley echoes this sentiment when discussing her experiences in the automotive industry: "Learning something new is hard… Anything worth doing is going to be hard." By prioritizing excellence in these areas, businesses position themselves to naturally attract more customers and opportunities. This strategic focus is not only applicable to dealerships but can be adopted broadly across industries seeking sustainable growth. As echoed in the transcript, "If you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you're getting. You get complacent with mediocrity." Therefore, a commitment to constant improvement is crucial for achieving enduring success and staying ahead of the competition. Mindset and Adaptability as Keys to Thriving The discussion also highlights the profound impact that mindset and adaptability have on one's success in any career. Both Tianna and Kalina credit their upbringing with instilling essential principles that have guided their professional journeys. As Kalina observes, "Your mindset is your reality," drawing from the teachings of self-improvement methodologies like "The Secret" and the principles of the law of attraction. The significance of mindset extends beyond personal growth; it fosters an organization's adaptability, a critical trait in dynamic industries like automotive sales. Embracing a flexible and open-minded approach allows businesses to harness innovations and quickly adjust strategies in the face of changing trends. As echoed in the transcript, "The year of the human… we're really evaluating the amount of value that we provide for our dealers." Cultivating such a forward-thinking mindset within teams can also drive innovation, empower employees, and enhance problem-solving capabilities. As LA Williams from the transcript aptly summarizes, "You are who you spend the most time with." Surrounding oneself with positive influences creates an environment where individuals can grow collectively, contributing to the continuous evolution and success of the organization. Kalina and Tianna's narratives help pave the way for a deeper understanding of how personal experiences and beliefs shape professional endeavors, ultimately reinforcing the symbiotic relationship between an individual's mindset and their business acumen. In looking at the Bradleys' stories, it becomes evident that the heart of their business success lies in a holistic approach encapsulating family, constant improvement, and an empowered mindset. These principles not only guided their journey through the automotive industry but offer valuable lessons for businesses eager to thrive in an ever-evolving marketplace. Moving forward, organizations across various sectors may do well to adopt these insights, fostering environments where family dynamics, relentless self-betterment, and adaptable thinking are prioritized. Such an approach, mirrored by the Bradleys, stands to yield positive outcomes, positioning businesses for momentous achievements in the future.

Nasiru Ibrahim — an architect from Nigeria and a new adventure rider — sets out on his first true motorcycle journey with a simple idea: ride his Yamaha Ténéré to the Ténéré Desert. It's an ambitious first trip, fueled by equal parts curiosity and confidence. Heading north through regions where the language and culture feel familiar, he anticipates the usual challenges — long distances, fatigue, border crossings, and the uncertainties of travelling solo. Instead, a routine stop in a small desert town leads to his arrest and detention in a politically tense region. What follows is a two-week ordeal far from home, as he navigates uncertainty, bureaucracy, and the stark realization of how quickly an adventure can take an unexpected turn.
