POPULARITY
In this episode I start out by reading the new mission statement for my podcast, and then look back over the podcast since its inception by reading the list of past episode titles and more importantly commenting on and giving my thoughts about each episode, what was significant about them, what they meant to me, and any updates I have on the topics they covered. If you have not listened to the back catalog of episodes this is a great way for you to find out which ones you missed that you might be interested in. Then you can queue them up to listen to in your favorite podcast app. Since the Thanksgiving holiday is approaching I thought it would also be appropriate to give thanks and talk about all of the people that I am thankful for regarding the sport of motorcycling that you and I love so much. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Motorcycle Podcasting if podcasts were technical stuntmen: Welcome to episode 96!!! Four more until we reach our century. Thanks to @Wingman's Garage for this week's word: "Debatable" If you like the show, leave a rating or review in iTunes. Subscribe to us on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Pod Bean, Pocketcasts, DownCast, PodCruncher, Overcast, Podkicker, Podcast Addict, CastBox, Player FM, Pandora, alien transmission, smoke signal, etc, etc. We discuss last week's Crazy Motor Challenge winner and loser. We also set forth the Week 2 Challenge Contenders: Here's the breakdown: We will have a 5 week throw-down that revolves around 'crazy' motors. a. Each week we will have a head-to-head 'battle', or comparison of different motors. We have made our lists and locked them in, but we won't reveal the motor until the recording of the show. b. Three different podcasts (Misfits, Cleveland Moto, Wingman's) will judge our motors based on their own interpretation of how 'crazy' our motors are. This will keep us honest, and we won't have to guess who won for the week. c. Chris and I have decided that the motors will not be one-off, novelty, or car motors in a bike. (for example: no Boss Hoss, single prototype, or helicopter turbine bikes) Not that it can't be small production though, like a Britten, Confederate, Lightning, etc) d. After five weeks (or the best of five, which ever happens first) we will tally the votes and the loser shall be issued a penalty. e. The penalty shall be moto-related, and shall not exceed $100. I'm cheap and broke! I think Chris is too! Chris Recaps the Roland Sands Super Hooligan National Championship finals from Bolsa Chica State Beach. WARNNG: There is some inside information and bureaucracy discussed. The opinion expressed is contained to the parties involved and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the other racers, promoters, and/or spectators. We discuss Honda's efforts to get all owners of vehicles (cars or Gold Wings) affected by the Takata airbag recalls to get their vehicles repaired immediately. We also discuss Porsche's Passport program - a" 'Netflix' for cars", and ponder the possibilities of a Motorcycle OEM trying to launch this concept. instagram shout outs this week: @kristinevodon & @caro74happy Events: @Trackercross II is underway Oct 20-21 @Hell On Wheels MC Halloween Hillclimb Oct 28 @Twisted_Throttles_So_Cal Nov 3-4 email the show: creativeridingpodcast@gmail.com www.creative-riding.com
