Podcasts about vintage motorcycles

We discuss our weekend class, and the rifle that we saw from the group of 14 shooters. We talk about effective shooting positions, and what works--and what may not. We talk vintage motorcycles for a bit in this show (Forest just got a 1974 Yamaha DT360)... and Virginia politics, and global politics as well. This and much more in this week's show. :) We hope you'll tune in. :)

A vintage motorcycle can be more than a machine. It can be a mirror, a mentor, and sometimes the only quiet place left in a loud week. Paul Kraus joins me for a conversation that starts with a family-restored 1947 Wizard motorbike and expands into why riding and wrenching can be powerful tools for motorcycle mindfulness, stress relief, and better relationships.We talk about the ritual of gearing up, the way a long ride strips away distraction, and why hands-on craftsmanship still matters in a screen-first world. Paul shares a simple framework he calls the four Ps: patience, presence, perspective, and purpose. We connect it to real life leadership pressure, emotional management, and that hard line many of us struggle to draw between work and home. If you have ever finished a ride feeling more like yourself, you will recognize what we are pointing at.We also dig into the Colorado Vintage Motorcycle Show and the surprising stories old bikes can pull out of people, plus the deep satisfaction of restoring and maintaining classic motorcycles with your own hands. If you enjoy vintage motorcycle restoration, purpose-driven riding, or you just need a reset, this conversation is for you. COLORADO VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE SHOW:https://www.instagram.com/coloradovintagemotorcycle/https://www.facebook.com/groups/coloradovintagemotorcycleshow/EPISODE SPONSOR:  Viking Bagshttps://www.vikingbags.com/pages/motorcycle-saddlebagsSupport the showTags:  Mindfulness, Motorcycle riding, mindful motorcycling, motorcycle therapy, nature connection, peace on two wheels, Rocky Mountain tours, rider self-discovery, spiritual journey, motorcycle community, open road philosophy.

This week on the Lowdown Radio Show presented by eBay Motors we speak to Greg Bender from ThisOldTractor.com. Bender, a modern man thriving in a digital world, needs an antidote to modernity, which he finds in his vintage Moto Guzzis and on his Suzuki DR350. Bender also shares his love of mechanical things to the world through his website, which has a plethora of information about all things Guzzi, though he squeezes in a little Suzuki and a touch of Saab on the side. Quirky, you ask? Absolutely. In the best possible way. And should you survive to the end of the show, we'll review a viscous substance to help prevent you unscrewing.

Talking Motorcycles proudly presents another episode as a part of our AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Series.  David Aldana, 1999 Hall of Fame inductee, became famous early in his career for his "all or nothing" mentality as a professional motorcycle racer. He was a rookie expert in AMA Grand National competition in 1970. He went on to place 3rd in the Championship winning three Grand Nationals along the way. In total, David won 4 Grand Nationals in his flat track career. He competed in nearly every form of motorcycle racing including motocross and road racing. During his road racing career he was a factory rider for Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda. In 1981 he teamed up with Mike Baldwin to win the SUZUKA 8 HourEndurance Race in front of 10's of thousands of fans. Suzuka was at that time, one of the most prestigious road races in the world and the one race everyone wanted to win. Known for his black leathers with the white skeleton outline in the front, Aldana was and continues to be a fan favorite world wide. Brian Slark, 2012 Hall of Fame inductee, was one of the people who gets credit for the creation of motocross in America. He was at one time the importer of the Rickman Metisse. Brian assisted Hall of Famer, Dave Mungenast in the creation of a vintage motorcycle museum in St. Louis. He then helped create the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Leeds, Alabama. Today Barber is considered the premier vintage motorcycle museum in the world and Brian oversees the restoration work in their shop as Technical Director. If you have a Clymer Service Manual published from 1971 through 1984, the teardown work was likely performed by Brian Slark. Both of the legendary men will be on hand at the 16th annual Riding Into History event this weekend!

The 2014 Motorcycle Cannonball is in the record books! Buzz Kanter of American Iron Magazine will join us to with the the story of their adventures. The team definitely had their challenges in this years event. It is a story of perserverence and fortitude to say the least. Buzz will inform us of the successes and struggles. In true writers fashion we get a very descriptive and thorough review. Norm Nelson, rider for Cannonball Team 23 had a brilliant ride and finished the epic 4000 mile journey from Daytona Beach to Tacoma, Washington with a perfect score. They will be credited with second place out of a field of 100 riders but that definitely does not tell the entire story. Norm will give us his perspective on the  thrill of near victory and the agony of defeat. The 1926 BMW needed every bit of its 12 horsepower considering the big headwinds out West and the climb over the Rocky Mountains. Fate definitely played a role in the outcome for Team 23. Hear all about it as Norm shares his feelings and philosophies on this years event! We are delighted to bring you this in depth look at the outcomes and results for these two teams who joined us on the eve of the ride to discuss their hopes and plans for victory. We are going inside the numbers to get the human side with both of these guests now that the run is completed!

In this episode of Talking Motorcycles we go LIVE with some of the top competitors of this years event which departs from Daytona Beach this Friday night and arrives in Tacoma, Washngton September 21st. This epic ride is done on motorcycles built prior to 1937. Riders will be required to navigate well, ride and truly have an understanding of their classic machines. Patrick Simmons, lead singer and guitar for the Doobie Brothers!  Norm Nelson is one of the best. He once rode his 1958 Harley-Davidson Sportster from Jacksonville, Florida to Alaska. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of that ride he did it again riding from St. Augustine, Florida to Alaska at 70 years old. He has won the vintage race at Datyona International Speedway 6 times on a Norton Manx. When the Historic Motorcycle Society chose Norm to ride in the event last year he nearly won it. In 2014, Norm and Team 23 are set to do it again hoping for a win. Norm will join us on this episode to discuss the ride just two days before they depart!  Buzz Kanter, Publisher/Editor in Chief of American Iron Magazine will be competing in the Motorcycle Cannoball for the third time. This will be my third ride across the US on a motorcycle much older than I am. Rode a 1915 Harley twin on the first Motorcycle Cannonball in 2010, a 1929 Harley JDH on the second one in 2012, and will be riding a 1936 VLH this time. Interesting mixture of excitement, anxiety and anticipation right now. Buzz Kanter and Norm Nelson typify the spirit of the Motorcycle Cannonball. Both are excellent motorcyclists who will tell their stories as to why they ride in this grueling yet rewarding event that covers 4000 miles of American roads from coast to coast.  Twitter: @twowheelb FB/Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone   Barry
