We want to help out new and returning riders and give our input on what should be some of your first steps. With Jon on the Moto Amino app and hanging with the Dragon Krew, he meets Irishman. Irishman is a 23-year motorcycle veteran with well over 300k on sport and cruiser bikes. Then on top of that, he was a full-time MSF instructor while stationed in Japan and still fills in at Nash and Franklin County community colleges. We also want to thank Irishman for his service to our country as he served in the Marines for 15 years. We are once again happy to have KP Moto join us as well to provide his input as a young rider.Where to start:Take a training class - if you are new it's a great way to see if you like riding with out buying a bike. MSF at community collegesRider Edge at local Harley-Davison dealershipsLearn from a friendWatch videos online.If you are returning rider, we recommend taking a training class to refresh you. This was submitted by one of our Riders of Loud Pipes Chad. Good idea for all riders to get a refresher course from time to time.Starter Bike:300cc sport bike650cc cruiser style bikeU-Turn:Jon gives an update on his Spyder.....Purge valve showed up on Friday, January 5th, 2018 and tech going to install on January 6th, 2018.

This week kicks off with an announcement of our new rider series. At least four episodes dedicated to helping new and returning riders get into motorcycling. Jon is pulled into the conversation on his Spyder so that we can all get a proper update on all the sadness. NEW RIDER SERIESWe are starting a mini-series, that eventually will be put together as a reference episode. The idea is, let’s do our part for the motorcycle community and help to foster new ridersFour part series covering the following major topics:Get some trainingMonday 1/8/2018 we will record this episode with a former motorcycle safety instructorGet some gearLet’s cover the basics of what a new rider should getWhere to spend your moneyGear that you don’t ne edGet a bikeLook at bikes suited for a learning riderNew models availableGood used bike choicesScooters (can start without having a license)Dirt riding (Rich feels one of the best ways to understand and practice bike control)Find your community (although we could argue this should be first)Reach out to various social media outlets that interest youFacebook, EatSleepRide, Moto-Amino, podcasts, and moreLocal events, local dealers, club, industry, trade shows, etcRIDERS OF LOUD PIPESWe welcome SquatchyPete :) to the Riders of Loud Pipes Clubhouse.

Playlist, Loud Pipes! R.A.F Designer Mix, and NortEast RideSpend My Money!Scenario: early 40s rider with 20 years experience. Looking to move from a cruiser to a more sporty bike with touring potential (hard bags). Budget is around $10k and enjoy spirited riding, but this bike will serve no track duty. I ride solo only so no two up consideration. Prefer engine with character to simply the most performance on paper. Dislike chains as final drive.PICKS:Jon:New: Versys 1000LT $12,999Used: 2012 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200GT 8V $7,500Rico:New: Zero FX $9,495 or 3 Honda Grom $3,199Used: 2010 BMW F800GSRich:New: Yamaha FJ-09 $10,699Used: 2010 Honda VFR1200F $6,500News:New Harleys - Will talk more in depth next showConfederate and zero deal to make electric bikesIndian first ever manufacturer title America flat track grand national champ.Garage:Jon repacked his two brothers racing exhaust as he hit the 5k mile change interval.EVENTS:Ray Price Capital City Bikefest - September 22-24 - Raleigh, North CarolinaBarber Vintage Festival - October 6th-8th, 2017 - Leeds, Alabama - CANCELLED due to personal obligationsBucket List Ride (Mini Iron Butt) - October 14th-15th 2017 (Ride from Manteo, NC to Murphy, NC)Support the show and receive rewards for your contribution by visiting loudpipes.net/donate.
