In this episode the guys release their second of three interviews from the road trip to Atlanta.  This interview is with a very talented artist by the name of Robert Rivera Jr.  Robert has been working with airbrush and other techniques for more than 13 years and has been drawing since he was in the 3rd grade.  Overall we were blown away with Robert's work and highly suggest you visit YouTube for the video version of this episode.Robert was featured by Southland's Full Throttle and is the first artist to be featured by Full Throttle.  Some of his work can also be found in prior issues of the American Bagger Magazine for bikes from the Baddest Bagger competition.  You notice some of Robert's work during this competition. Kotic Kustoms creates some amazing bikes, which often provide the canvas for Robert's paint.We were introduced to Robert by way of Aerin Shaw, featured in episode 46.Here are a few examples of Robert's work and we encourage everyone to check out his Facebook page.

There is also a video version of this episode, check it out on YouTube.In this episode the guys sit down with the lovely Ms. Aerin Shaw, Vice President and General Manager for the  Jekill and Hyde Company USA.  Aerin shares details about why the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust system was developed.  Currently the exhaust is only available in the USA for the following brands: Harley-Davidson, Indian, and Honda Goldwing. The exhaust is one of the top European brands in the market as it allows riders to quiet their bike to avoid sound tickets.  That is correct - some European countries will ticket you as much as $3,000 dollars and impound your bike if it's too loud!Aerin then dives into her little side project - Les Femmes Vitesse.  Aerin shares about how she started this project and the requirements to be a member.  Sorry guys - this group is only for Fast Women and you can only join by being invited by another Les Femmes Vitesse rider.Aerin also shares details – and a few stories – about what bikes she rides, which include a Harley-Davidson Road King Police bike for work, and a sizzling hot and wicked fast Suzuki Hayabusa on weekends – in black and pink of course!

Tonight we kick off their long ride planning talking about preparing your bike and yourself. We are joined by Ted from the Motorcycle Men (http://www.motorcyclemen.us/) podcast to share his experience with long riding. Rich called into the Motorcycle Men podcast during their Episode 22 (http://www.motorcyclemen.us/episodes/blog/season-2-episode-22-going-the-long-distance-and-rich-from-loud-pipes) recording. Rich, Rico, and Ted all where able to get out on their bikes as the east coast weather has made a turn toward warmer weather. What the guys sipped on during the show: * Ted chocolate milk. * Rich Hoppy Blonde Ale (http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/hoppy-blonde) from New Belgium * Rico Lazy Magnolia Pecan Ale (https://www.lazymagnolia.com/beer/southern-pecan/) TOPICS: Rich views a long ride as riding all day on the bike - not going out meeting guys and just hanging out. A good example of this would be mountain ride discussed in episode 42. Reading recommendation for preparing the mind and body for long distance riding:Building an Iron Butt (source: BikeBandit.com) Rich: Focus on getting hydrated couple of days before ride Get a good amount of quality rest Do a nut and bolt check of bike a few weeks before ride, so you have time to correct larger issues Plan out a realistic route with some options for change Rico: Perform bike check- breaks, tires, tire pressure, fluids, and chain/belts Focus on yourself - eat light, hydrate, stretch, etc Check the weather so know what type of gear you need Have right gear for the type of riding you plan to do Have reflective gear if riding at night to make sure you are seen by others Ted: Carry a tire repair kit and tire pump Have extra oil and fuel A must is to have zip ties as they can be very useful in many cases Tool kit Wear compression gear to help with blood flow Camelbak to allow you drink while riding so you stay hydrated. Use the street view in Google Maps to have and idea what road will be like. Jon: Have route planned out and everyone be familiar with an overview of the route. Furkot (https://trips.furkot.com/?hl=en-US) used to plan trip, which allows you to export to other devices. Alternative to using dedicated GPS unit - check out an app called Co-Pilot (https://copilotgps.com/us/personal/). For group riding, make sure everyone knows where next stop will be in case group gets split Carry USB battery pack to provide extra power for devices Check out OutsideHow (https://outsidehow.com/plan-camping-trip.html) for some great trip planning information related to camping. Harley announces a new Sportster: The Roadster (http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Motorcycles/roadster.html) The guys really like the bike and how it looks. One of Patron members Markus sent us a how Harley should have done it. Ted doesn't like and Rich loves it. Rich gets Ted's opinion of the Moto Guzzi Flying Fortess. Ted - doesn't like the heads sticking out of side. Says batman would buy this bike if he was looking for a bike, also thinks the bike is ugly. Rich loves the bike and is really looking forward to being able to ride it after the release in Sturgis. The guys talked about the Ducati XDiavel.  Ted was able to sit on bike and said the cockpit is too small for his size, but loves the look.  Rich and Rico are planning on riding it June, stay tune as there will for sure be a show talking about the XDiavel ride. U-TURN: After the recent helmet tech episode, we spin around and take a quick look at a patent from Honda for blind spot monitoring for bikes. The guys don't really like this nor want it on their bikes.
