The best kept secret about motorcycling, and the maybe thing that surprises new riders the most, is its deep sense of community. In this episode, I talk with Marina Mann, co-founder and CEO of EatSleepRIDE, a community-powered web site and app for motorcyclists, about why we're all brothers and sisters on two wheels. She nails it, and after hearing our conversation, you'll never let a salute from another rider go unanswered again.

The boys are back... After wrapping up our interviews from Atlanta we are back to our normal show format. The guys talk about the Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge, the first Loud Pipes Ride, Road Hogs III ride, Atlanta trip recap, and some news.Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge: We are going to have a little challenge between the Motorcycle Men, Throttled, and Loud Pipes. The goal of this challenge is to encourage riding on a consistent bases and will award the podcast team that averages the most points over the month of August. To help with the challenge the team at EatSleepRIDE will provide ride data and we'll be posting our progress on the ESR platform. You can follow via the challenge web site or EastSleepRIDE.First Loud Pipes Ride: The guys joined up on June 24th and took a little ride from Blacksburg, SC to Little Switzerland, NA and back to Charlotte, NC. This was a nice 300 mile trip that included the Diamonback (NC 226a). Plan was to do the Devil's Whip, but thanks to Apple Maps we ended up riding the Diamondback a second time. Road Hogs III Ride: Rico was the only member of the Loud Pipes team to make the trip. He talked about the ride and taming the snake. We are planning to have another round table with the Road Hogs crew. Atlanta Recap: We talk about getting out of Atlanta and our trip to Tellico Plains, TN for the MotoVloggers meetup. The riding was a great time, but the weather sucked as it rained on and off most of the day. The group went to Bald River Falls via River Road and traveled the Cherohala Skyway. Around mid afternoon the Loud Pipes Crew split from the MotoVloggers due to a long weekend from the Atlanta trip. On the trip back to Charlotte the guys made a pit stop at Sierra Nevada Brewing.Check out the MotoVloggers from the meetup:Cruiser BrewserWolf's WorldRouge MogulAmp'd MotoBacon's Broken BitsSam SmithMatthew Williams - was planing on making it but had motorcycle break down on ride out.News:Harley announces an all new bike for flat track racing, first all new design in 44 yearsIndian announces plans to take on Harley in flat track racingVictory and S&S Cycle announce new performance camsHarley confirmed the LiveWire in the next 5 years.

Many thanks again to Alex Crookes for getting Matthew into the beta.Matthew has enjoyed the Eat Sleep Ride app and all the features it has to offer. But would like to see a quick start/stop option that would save him from having to take off his gloves.Matthew's Motorcycle Project 1983 Honda V65 Magna:Bike was listed on Craiglist as 1986, but is really a 1983 and bike has been sitting for a long time and needed some TLC before getting back on the road.Had to rebuild/clean the 4 carbs and get them re-linked.Due to sitting around rust has set into gas tanks and both needed to be cleaned out.Brake calipers pistons would not compress and rubbers around calipers needs some work.
