Radio TRO is brought to you in part by:Twisted Road - Motorcycle Rental in the USAVisit Twisted.TRO.bike to get a FREE riding day!Robin thanks Neil Sullivan for holding the fort and Megan Towles (Octane Lending) for her titling efforts. After that, he's in full nerd mode, building the vendor-agnostic motorcycle training website that is MotorcycleTraining.us. He's also updated the weather page's ride-quality math so that it better reflects Wisco rains. Then it's on to route generation apps like Kurviger, Rever and Calimoto. Send your choice of software via the contact form!Brian's sounding as if he lives in a van full of socket wrenches. Having championed his wrestling match with valve-cover gaskets and clumsy mechanics, new tools appear like gremlins. On the lighter side, he's got nothing but love for Yamaha parts pricing after fixing an FJ-09 neutral-light issue. On the route app topic, we should all heed his warnings that some route apps use a lot of data. Rever ... burned six gigs.Joanne's blunt, practical heat advice keeps us more comfy at 90°F. Her aim is to help riders avoid heat stroke, keeping their judgment intact. TLDL, wear ventilated/breathable gear with sensible base layers and hydration packs. Cover up smart and drink often because if we stop sweating, we've got trouble. Also, maybe don't be that Gold Wing Speedo guy.Jordan shuts it all down with the story of Alfred Angus Scott, an inventor with about 60 patents. Scott bet on two-strokes, water cooling and odd layouts. He built early telescopic-style forks, a chain drive, rotary valves, removable crank access and likely the first known kickstarter. Many of his "what were they thinking?" ideas actually worked! His riders, racing the Isle of Man TT, set lap records, winning back-to-back.Episode Page: https://tro.bike/podcast/2025e22/Music by Rabid Neon and Otis McDonald

1-Ply vs 2-Ply Snowmobile Tracks: The Real DifferenceEpisode Summary:In this episode of Snowmobile Trail Talk, Chris dives into one of the most debated topics in snowmobiling — 1-ply vs 2-ply tracks. If you've wondered which is better for performance, durability, and value, this episode has the answers. Learn the history, how to tell them apart, and which stud kits pair best with each type.What We CoverHow 1-ply tracks started and why Ski-Doo introduced them in 2008.Which brands use 1-ply vs 2-ply — and why Polaris sticks with 2-ply.The quick “window test” to identify your track.Myths about track types, including Ice Ripper misconceptions.Real pros and cons of each type.Which stud kits are best for each.A Quick HistoryIn 2008, Ski-Doo launched the XP chassis — light, agile, and featuring the 1-ply track to cut weight. Yamaha and Arctic Cat followed on select models, while Polaris stayed with 2-ply tracks for durability.How to Tell the DifferenceBoth look similar, but there's an easy check: look through the small window between the track's outer edge and center belt. One row of cords = 1-ply. Two rows = 2-ply.See our full guide here: How to Tell the Difference Between a 1-Ply and a 2-Ply Track.Pros & Cons1-Ply Pros:Slightly lighter, may reduce rolling resistance.1-Ply Cons:Less durable on rough terrain. Shorter studded lifespan.2-Ply Pros:Stronger, handles impacts better, lasts longer. Often cheaper upfront.2-Ply Cons:Slightly heavier, though most riders won't notice.Chris's verdict: durability matters more than minimal weight savings — he rides 2-ply.Stud Kit RecommendationsFor 1-ply tracks, use the Top Gun SP Kit — oversized heads and backers boost support by 25%.For 2-ply, go with the Top Gun II Kit — built for thousands of miles of strength. You can run the SP on 2-ply for max grip, but avoid the II on 1-ply to prevent damage.Why It MattersOn paper, 1-ply seems faster and more efficient, but most riders won't feel the difference. The durability gap is huge — a studded 2-ply with the right Stud Kit can last 10,000 miles, while a studded 1-ply might last about 5,000. That's a big factor in cost and reliability.Get the Right SetupNot sure which track you have? Use our Stud Kit Application Finder to identify your stock track type and compatible kits.Explore all our Snowmobile Studs, including:Top Gun SP Kit — for single-ply tracks.Top Gun II Kit — for 2-ply tracks.Final ThoughtsChoosing between 1-ply and 2-ply comes down to riding style and priorities. If you want maximum longevity and peace of mind, go 2-ply with the right studs. If weight is your top concern, 1-ply can work — just reinforce it properly.For the full range of Snowmobile Studs and kits, visit FastTracTraction.com and get your sled ready for the season.

Voor deze aflevering doen Stefaan, Bart en Tom eens lekker modern met wat in de zakenwereld een ‘Mid-Year Update' wordt genoemd. Een chique term die niet veel meer betekent dan ‘hoe hangt de vlag er halfweg het jaar bij?'. Met de verkoopcijfers van de nieuwe motoren in België en Nederland bij de hand buigt het trio zich over een aantal prangende vragen. Zoals daar zijn:   De GSX-8T en 8TT zien er wel fraai uit, maar waarom komt Suzuki toch altijd zo laat met nieuwe modellen aandraven? Heeft Harley-Davidson de zwaar teruggelopen verkoop (-20%) enkel aan Donald Trump te danken of is het een gevalletje van ‘eigen schuld, dikke bult'? Nemen de Chinese merken de markt stormenderhand in of zijn ze vooral mekaar vliegen aan het afvangen? Waarom verkoopt Yamaha de Tracer 7 niet op de thuismarkt?   Aangezien KTM de eerste helft van 2025 op hangen en wurgen doorspartelde, verdiepte Bart zich in de situatie van het Oostenrijkse merk en hoe de toekomst van KTM er onder Bajaj-bewind kan uitzien. Hoopgevend is sowieso dat KTM-CEO Gottfried Neumeister beloofd heeft dat alle nieuwe modellen die KTM op de Eicma van 2024 presenteerde er ook daadwerkelijk zullen komen.   Tom en Stefaan maken de balans op van de eerste seizoenshelft van de MotoGP waarna de drie redactieleden hun teenslippers terug aantrekken, hun zonnehoed wat dieper over de bol trekken en nog eens aan hun zomerse cocktail nippen. Klaar voor deel twee van de zomervakantie!   Bijna vijftig minuten gratis luisterplezier (ja, ga er in de zomer maar eens goed voor zitten) met dank aan Richa, Shoei, Michelin, Yamaha, Triumph Motorcycles, BMW Motorrad,  Wunderlich en SoloMoto motorverzekeringen.

Welcome to the Motos and Friends Podcast. This week's episode is brought to you by Yamaha.  Are you ready to experience the motorcycle that is redefining the Supersport class? The new Yamaha YZF-R9 with its 890cc CP3 engine delivers incredible power and torque. Its lightweight aluminum frame, carefully developed rider's ergonomics, and adjustable KYB suspension, provide spectacular agility and control. Ride MotoGP-inspired aerodynamics with the R9's winglets, designed to enhance handling and agility. The R9 is more than just a machine; it's an experience.

These are similar—but also very different upright naked sportbikes from the Big Red. The 750 is a parallel twin, and the 1000 is an inline-4. It might seem obvious which bike has the greater appeal, but I guarantee you there are some real surprises from Matt on how both of these bikes performed, and where they excel.    *  *  *  *  * Have you checked out Insta360, the leader in 360-degree action camera technology? Their latest camera, the Insta360 X5, shoots in all directions at once in incredible 8K30 resolution. Just hit record, focus on your ride, and then find the best angles in the edit with Insta360's mobile app—it's easy, smooth, and packed with AI tools to make it easy and super-fast. The X5's huge sensors, triple AI chip, and dedicated low-light shooting mode deliver unmatched detail and image quality—even at night. The X5 is waterproof, reliable, and features Insta360's toughest-ever replaceable lenses and lens guards. And as if that wasn't enough, now the Summer Update brings together a series of innovations that make X5 even more powerful, versatile, and intuitive than ever before. New features like AdaptiveTone, gives smart exposure in complex lighting situations; and with the latest firmware update, the standard battery now offers an even longer runtime. But if you need even more, some incredible accessories are available including the Ultra Battery with 17% more battery capacity that delivers more runtime, and when charging, it reaches 80% in just 20 minutes. Other accessories include ND Filters, specially designed for 360 cameras that give you complete control in any lighting condition, they're ideal for conveying speed in motorcycle footage or achieving pro-looking motion effects. There is also the GPS Preview Remote with its built-In mic: it's an all-in-one creative tool for smoother, smarter shooting. So, to bag a free invisible selfie stick worth US$24.99 with your X5 purchase, head to store.insta360.com and use the promo code "ULTIMATE", (available for the first 30 purchases only).

As you might know, Freeman is a big fan of motorcycle travel, and there's nothing he likes more than to take off with a few of his buddies and take a road less traveled. Teejay chats with him about his latest adventure through the mountains of Colorado and ultimately to Moab, Utah. He rode a KTM 890 Adventure, with several modifications to help survive the adventure. The group definitely got into some scrapes, but (spoiler alert) they did actually survive to fight again another day. The route is actually listed as the Colorado BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route) and you can check it for yourself either at Butler Maps or at RideBDR.com.    *  *  *  *  * Here's a quick reminder to leave us your comments on our social media—we're on all the usual platforms at Ultimate Motorcycling.

Al Mugello gare combattute e sei giri di MotoGP da cineteca, ma esito scontato: Marc & Alex, quattro Ducati davanti a tutti e poi l'Aprilia con Bezzecchi in recupero. Bene anche Raul Fernandez, che batte le KTM di Acosta e Binder. Morbidelli esagera, butta giù Vinales ed è sesto. Tanti temi da analizzare con l'ing. Bernardelle e con Zam e Renè rientrati dalla Toscana, cominciando dalla partenza di Marc nella Sprint: cosa è successo e come ha reagito (da fenomeno). Le gomme, il caldo, i motori e le grandi velocità sul dritto: con Aprilia e KTM più rapide e persino una Yamaha davanti alle Ducati. Aerodinamica in curva e accelerazione sono le protagoniste. Battuta di arresto per le giapponesi (incidentato e stoico Quartararo). Sfortunati Lunetta e Pini in Moto3, con Foggia tornato sul podio e Maximo Quiles al primo successo. In Moto2 domina Gonzales e Vietti quinto.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Pista fredda il venerdì con tante cadute e una gomma in comune: la media anteriore di Michelin. Migliori le condizioni la domenica, ma gare più lente dell'anno scorso: perché? La vittoria numero 94 di Marc (che raggiunge Ago in top class ) è stata davvero minacciata da Alex sabato e dal Bez la domenica? Insomma Marc poteva essere attaccato? E l'Aprilia: come nasce questo fine settimana meraviglioso (e vincerà il braccio di ferro con Martin)? E KTM ancora così avanti? Questa sera le risposte alle nostre (e alle vostre) curiosità con l'Ing Bernardelle, Zam, Renè e Nico. Bagnaia è insoddisfatto e protesta, sono solo scuse come hanno già deciso in tanti? Cosa succede alla Yamaha, che stabilisce la pole con Quartararo e poi affonda? Studieremo la dinamica della brutta caduta di Alex Marquez e di quella allarmante di Lunetta in Moto3.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Nothing was capable of stopping Marc Marquez in Germany. Not even Marc Marquez. But while Marc was dominating, half the field was exploring the area's finest gravel traps. I recap a wild weekend of wrecks and surprises at Sachaenring!The Rundown- Qualifying: wet, wild, and with a pair of big wrecks- Sprint: Marc spots the field a few spots, and still shows them how it's done- Aprilia and Yamaha show that they can compete on a level playing field- The MotoGP Race: Marc is Marc. Everyone else wrecks- Nobody wanted to keep second place- The podium we've come to expect was also the unlikely one- Jack Miller, Fabio Quartararo up their game- The MotoGP Championship picture - the math is looking good.

After losing his first fortune to a Ponzi scheme in his late twenties, Brandon Kraupp didn't lick his wounds—he grabbed a clipboard. Today, his Utah-based Romex Pest Control spans four states, fields nearly two hundred teammates, and runs on an EOS-powered culture that blends door-knock grit with relentless data-tracking. Brandon sits down with the Blue-Collar Twins to share how maxed-out 0 % credit cards and a “just make more tomorrow” mindset turned a single truck into a regional platform. You'll hear: FBI Wake-Up Call – why losing everything crystallized a fearless approach to risk and growth.Door-Knock Science – mastering 55-plus communities and turning authenticity into daily deals.Data over Drama – using market analytics, WiseTack financing, and EOS scorecards to steer every expansion.Culture Moat – six core values, weekly L10s, and therapist-mediated exec meetings that keep 180 people rowing.Next Moves – an aggressive Texas build-out, acquisition targets on the Gulf Coast, and AI sliding into every SOP. Stick around for Brandon's take on “stealth-wealth” margins and a quick CTA to Paul Giannamore's Private-Equity Masterclass playlist—then audit the numbers that actually move your own scoreboard.

Off-track, Honda and Yamaha are the key protagonists in the 2026 MotoGP rider market.

This episode is brought to you by Yamaha. Are you ready to experience the motorcycle that is redefining the Supersport class? The new Yamaha YZF-R9 with its 890cc CP3 engine delivers incredible power and torque. Its lightweight aluminum frame, carefully developed rider's ergonomics, and adjustable KYB suspension, provide spectacular agility and control. Ride MotoGP-inspired aerodynamics with the R9's winglets, designed to enhance handling and agility. The R9 is more than just a machine; it's an experience. With its aggressive R-Series bodywork, LED lighting, and Brembo Stylema front brake calipers, every detail is impressive. The YZF-R9: Accessible Supersport performance starting at $12,499. Visit YamahaMotorsports.com to learn more.  *  *  *  *  * In this first segment Don Williams give us the low down on the new Low Rider S. Harley introduced the new Softails a few months ago, and I have to say, I was really impressed. The Low Rider is styled very similar to the Dyna of old, and in recent years, that has been the bike of choice for go-fast customization in the so-called ‘Club' style. But, truth is, any tweaked out Dyna won't hold a candle to the Low Rider S; this new generation of Softail is absolutely not the Softail of old.  *  *  *  *  * We're in the height of the racing season right now with MotoGP, World Superbike, and Moto America events taking place all over the world. Many of those riders at the pinnacle of the sport choose an Arai helmet to protect them. Why do you think that is? Well, Arai's mission has always been the protection and comfort of every person who chooses an Arai helmet. Arai's foundational principles of protection first, exceptional quality, and rider comfort have never been forgotten, in over six decades of helmet design and manufacturing. Arai helmets are comfortable for sure, but first and foremost, protection is the critical reason to wear an Arai. The Snell Standard, said to be the strictest in the world, only has a 17mph drop speed for the shock absorption test. As riders, we ride faster than that on a daily basis. So there's more to it than just a straight drop test. In the unlikely event of a crash, Arai knows it is vital to slide and avoid those direct impacts as much as possible, to reduce the amount of impact energy that enters the helmet as much as possible. There's a lot of reasons why you should join the most demanding riders in the world and wear an Arai helmet.

Their latest 360-degree camera, the Insta360 X5, shoots in all directions at once in incredible 8K30 resolution. You'll get truly epic motorcycling shots without even aiming the camera.

The daughter of actor Robert Conrad, Camille is a go-getter in every sense of the word; when she sets her mind at something it seems nothing will stop her. She had an unconventional upbringing, and in her teens she was a competitive skier, qualifying for the Junior Olympics. Then she discovered motorcycles. She is now coming to the end of her second year in the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race program and she has done really well. Teejay chats with Camille and tries to find out what really makes her tick.    *  *  *  *  * Here's a quick reminder to leave us your comments on our social media—we're on all the usual platforms at Ultimate Motorcycling.

From the iconic racing track in the Netherlands we see an epic weekend of racing with "surprises" all around!! Marc Marquez, who said himself he wasn't planning on doing well, despite qualifying on the 2nd row managed to once again prove why he deserves to remain in MotoGP!! MotoGP standings for the 2025 championship seem to be almost completely decided as a big wreck from Alex Marquez left him with a DNF and some surgeries to clear up his injuries! From 5th on the grid we saw the rising Aprilia star Marco Bezzecchi pull a 3rd place and 2nd place in the sprint and race, proving that the mighty Aprilia might in-fact still be a contender this season!! Follow that with a surprising top 5 finish from not one but two KTM's and we had quite the brand spread in the top finishing spots!! Sadly the tale was not to tell from our main Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo, who could not follow up his hot qualifying lap with a healthy race finishing place!! All this coverage and more as always in your favorite motorcycle podcast!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

In this series, we aim to highlight the unsung heroes of the sport—the privateers. While they may not be part of factory teams, they're putting in the hard work to carve out their own names and eventually earn a spot with one of those teams. In episode 6, our host Brent Bowser catches up with Toyota of Redlands/BarX/Yamaha rider Parker Ross about his rookie Supercross season where he scored a top 10, his switch to Yamaha for the Outdoors, how the Outdoors are going so far, and more!

On this week's show we take a look at some of the most popular products in our homes. And we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: iOS 26 Brings Video Streaming to CarPlay, But There's a Catch Don't Expect Netflix to Save U.S. Broadcast Networks HDMI Forum To Reveal New HDMI 2.2 Details At Press Briefing Other: Blockbuster Be Kind Rewind T-shirt - Blue Most Popular HDTV and Home Theater and Automation Products On this week's show we take a look at some of the most popular products in our homes. Most Popular Devices What is the most popular TV size in the USA The most popular TV size in the USA is currently around 65 inches, with recent trends showing it overtaking the previously dominant 55-inch size. Data from 2021 indicates the average LCD TV screen size in North America reached approximately 55.5 inches, with expectations of further increases as larger TVs become more affordable and accessible. Consumer purchasing trends and retailer insights suggest 65-inch TVs are now the most commonly bought due to their balance of immersive viewing and suitability for typical living room spaces, with viewing distances of around 5.4 to 8.1 feet for 4K resolution. What is the most popular TV brand in the USA Samsung is the most popular TV brand in the USA, holding a market share of around 28-30% based on 2020-2023 data. It has been the top-selling brand for 18 consecutive years, with 30.1% of the market in 2023, driven by brand recognition, diverse price points, and dominance in both standard and premium TV segments, including a 22% share in OLED TVs. LG follows closely, with the two Korean brands combining for about 52% of the market. Vizio, TCL, and Sony also rank highly, with Sony noted for strong consumer trust and picture quality. What is the most popular home cinema projector in the USA The most popular home cinema projector in the USA in 2025, based on expert reviews and consumer interest, is the Epson Home Cinema 3800. It's widely praised for its excellent balance of image quality, brightness, and value, making it a top choice for home theater enthusiasts. With strong contrast, vibrant colors, and the ability to project a sharp 4K image, it performs well in both dark and moderately lit rooms. Its affordability compared to high-end models like the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB, combined with features like two HDMI ports and easy setup, contributes to its popularity. What is the most popular AVR The most popular AV receiver brand in the USA is Denon, with models like the Denon AVR-X3800H and Denon AVR-X4800H frequently cited as top performers in 2024-2025 reviews. Denon's popularity stems from its optimal price-to-quality ratio, reliable performance, and advanced features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 8K HDMI support. Market data is scarce, but Denon's dominance is evident in consumer reviews, sales rankings on sites like Best Buy, and industry reports, with Marantz (its sister brand) and Yamaha as close competitors. Denon's models are praised for versatility, supporting setups with more than three speakers (e.g., 9.4 or 7.2.2 configurations), aligning with the 10-15% of households estimated to have such systems. What is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA Amazon's Alexa is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA, primarily due to its widespread integration into Amazon Echo devices and its compatibility with over 60,000 smart home devices. In 2025, Alexa has an estimated 77.6 million users in the US, trailing Google Assistant (92.4 million) and Apple's Siri (87.0 million) in total users but leading in smart home ecosystem adoption and versatility. Its popularity is driven by features like hands-free control, extensive third-party app integration, and the ability to perform tasks such as controlling smart home devices, streaming music, and shopping online. The Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is particularly noted for its sound quality and built-in Zigbee radio, enhancing its smart home capabilities. What is the most popular video doorbell in the USA While exact sales data is unavailable, the Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Video Doorbell (2nd generation) are likely the most popular video doorbells in the USA in 2025.  What is the most popular smart switch in the USA The Lutron Caséta is the most popular for its balance of advanced features, no-neutral-wire flexibility, and rock-solid performance across smart home platforms. Its hub requirement adds cost (around $60-$100 per switch plus $80-$100 for the hub), but users value its dependability and customization options. If you're on a budget or prefer Wi-Fi-based switches, the TP-Link Kasa models are nearly as popular due to their lower price (around $20-$40) and hub-free setup. What is the most popular smart plug in the USA TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim (EP25) frequently comes up as a top contender for indoor use due to its affordability, feature set, and wide compatibility.

The Annual Mammoth Mountain Motocross is the highlight of the year for many motocross racers, and last weekend, the veterans of the sport lined up behind the starting gate. Yamaha's Ryan Villopoto was - to no one's surprise - the cream of the crop all weekend, but he did have some challenged from Josh Grant and RJ Wageman. Our very own Alex Ray made his 30 Pro debut at Mammoth, and our Senior Test Rider Pat Foster is the hometown hero in the High Sierras, so of course he was there flying the SML flag! We recap a great weekend, and more!

Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer debate what might be Bagnaia's most painful 2025 low so far on The Race MotoGP Podcast.As Bagnaia fell back, at least Alex Marquez was there to take the fight to Marc - but how hard was he really fighting? The siblings' (conspicuously gentle?) approach to racing each other is another hot topic after the Italian Grand Prix, as is stewarding after yet another Franco Morbidelli incident.We also tackle plenty of questions from The Race Members' Club on topics including Yamaha and Honda's awful weekends, the power balance between Maverick Vinales and Pedro Acosta at KTM, and where Fabio Di Giannantonio's sudden performance came from.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Chris Mazza of Shippeo talks about their obsessive focus on data quality, visibility, and how current geopolitical disruptions are impacting shippers. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.08] An introduction to Shippeo, who they are, and what they do. “We answer two foundational, practical questions that almost every supply chain, transportation or logistics manager wants to know: where is my stuff, and when will it arrive?” [06.21] How current geopolitical disruptions are impacting shippers, and why real-time visibility is crucial in navigating challenges. “If you don't have a good understanding of where your cargo is, what ship it's on, how it's routed, you can't credibly predict how you're going to manage things like buffer stock, real lead-time or real customer service expectation – without that data, you're lost.” [09.29] From an obsessive focus on data quality to an investment in integration options, what sets Shippeo apart in a very competitive and rapidly evolving market. “We spend a lot of time educating our customers about what can be a credible expectation in this market, because so much of the data that's out there is of a degraded quality.” [16.34] Shippeo's founder story – the industry challenges that helped shape Shippeo's solutions, and how their growth in Europe helped position them for success in the US. “The advantage the founders had, because they didn't come from the industry, was that they could come to the problem eyes wide open.” [21.03] The ideal client for Shippeo, and the typical challenges those businesses are looking to solve. [26.57] A case study exploring how Shippeo helped Yamaha achieve greater visibility to improve customer experience and internal operations via ocean and road. [33.21] How Shippeo is using AI and predictive analytics to help customers move from a reactive to a proactive mindset, and why this technology has been critical in navigating the current ocean challenges. “It's still too early to take the human out of the loop with some of these things, like strikes or fires on ships where a human has to say: ‘This is significant'. A machine can't spot that yet.” [39.14] The importance of sustainability, and some of Shippeo's key initiatives. [43.03] Chris's advice to help supply chain leaders future-proof their logistics strategies.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Shippeo's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too. You can also connect with Shippeo and keep up to date with the latest over on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, or you can connect with Chris on LinkedIn.

In this week's episode, Paul Andrews breaks down everything beginners need to know about transitioning to their first electric guitar. Suppose you're moving from acoustic or want a deeper understanding of what makes an electric guitar tick. In that case, this episode is packed with valuable insights—from body types and pickups to must-have accessories and practical buying advice.Key Topics Covered1. Acoustic vs. Electric GuitarsDifferences in body structure, sound projection, and use of amplification.2. Types of Electric Guitar BodiesSolid Body: Most common, less prone to feedback. (E.g., most guitars in shops)Semi-Hollow Body: More resonance; versatile across genres like jazz, blues, and pop. (E.g., Gibson ES335)Hollow Body: Favoured in jazz; fuller sound but prone to feedback at high gain. (E.g., Gretsch 6120)3. Important Components & ControlsPickups: Magnetic coils that capture string vibrations (more details on types below).Volume & Tone Controls: Adjust output and treble/bass mix.Pickup Selector: Switch between different pickup sounds (neck = warm/rhythm, bridge = bright/lead).Bridge Types: Fixed (better sustain) vs. Floating/Tremolo (lets you bend pitch with a whammy bar).Strings: Electric guitars often have lighter strings, easier on the fingers than acoustic.4. Pickups ExplainedSingle-Coil: Bright, nuanced; found in Fender Stratocasters. Great for pop, blues, soul, funk, and rock.P90: Vintage sound; sits between single-coil and humbucker.Humbucker: More powerful, noise-cancelling, great for rock and metal.Active Pickups: Extra power, require a battery—favoured by some metal players.5. Neck Profiles, Scale Length & ActionNeck Profile: Impacts playability and comfort (thin = fast play, fat = easier bends).Scale Length: Affects string tension and playability (Fender usually longer than Gibson).Action: Height of strings above fretboard. Lower action = easier play, but too low can cause buzzing.6. Woods UsedMaple vs. Rosewood Fingerboards: Maple is bright and durable; rosewood is warmer and more comfortable.7. What to Look For in a Beginner Electric GuitarPlayability: Make sure the guitar feels good and comfortable in your hands.Tunability: Important for staying in tune, especially with budget or secondhand instruments.Brand Matters: Established brands generally offer better reliability and quality control.Budget Bundles: Look for packs with guitar, amp, and accessories from brands like Yamaha, Epiphone, and Squier.8. Recommended GuitarsBudget: Yamaha Pacifica 112v—great value, reliable, versatile.Mid-Range: Squier Classic Vibe Series (Stratocaster/Telecaster)—beginner-friendly, holds value.Higher-End: Fender Standard Series—affordable entry into Fender brand quality.9. Essential AccessoriesAmplifier: Boss Katana Mini, Fender Frontman, Yamaha TRS5, Positive Grid Spark.Cable: Invest in a quality guitar cable.Tuner: Clip-on tuners or smartphone apps (Fender, Boss).Strap, Picks,...

Two stroke fever! Listen as Eddie Laret and Keefer talk about their latest Garage Build that involves the YZ250 two stroke! Bickering about the two stroke fun factor, Mark from REP discusses suspension set up, who the two stroke is for these days and what was done to this specific build all in this show.

The moment you restore an old motorcycle, you're not just fixing a machine—you're preserving history, creating art, and joining a global community of kindred spirits. This truth resonates powerfully throughout my conversation with Chris Tope, the visionary builder behind Utopeia Moto Company.  That's right, uTOPEia.  Get it???  Chris's journey from Richardson, Texas to the mountains of West Virginia reveals how motorcycles can become the thread connecting seemingly disparate lives. His passion began at 14 with a neglected Yamaha moped from an abandoned storage unit, which he lovingly restored while dreaming of impressing girls (despite it being a single-seater). This early mechanical education blossomed into a lifelong dedication to rescuing forgotten motorcycles—particularly two-strokes like Hodakas, Pentons, and other brands that have largely vanished from America's roads and trails.What makes Chris's work truly exceptional is his integration of natural elements reflecting his background as a biologist. Each build features thoughtful details like epoxy resin grips, gemstone accents, paint schemes inspired by butterfly wings, and his signature "hobo coin" tribute. "I try to make the coolest two-strokes in the industry," he explains, focusing on models overlooked by mainstream builders. This approach has earned him invitations to prestigious shows from Portland to Austin, allowing him to connect with luminaries including DGR founder Mark Hawwa and musician/motorcycle enthusiast Lyle Lovett.Perhaps most inspiring is how Chris transformed his passion into community service. Discovering West Virginia lacked a Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, he founded one in his small town of Fayetteville (population 3,000), growing from 25 riders to 46 and raising $25,000 for men's health causes.

It's finally happening: after so many years of rumour and flirtation, the World Superbike Championship's breakout superstar Toprak Razgatlioglu is coming to MotoGP in 2026.And the man who once only wanted to go to MotoGP on a factory bike, and whose Yamaha MotoGP bridge looked burned by two bad tests and a fractious aftermath, is joining the MotoGP grid… with Yamaha's satellite team Pramac.Matt Beer wakes Simon Patterson from his well-deserved post Silverstone-TT-Aragon nap to discuss why Razgatlioglu is finally making the leap and assess how he might fare and how his first season should be judged.We also explain for anyone who hasn't followed World Superbikes why Razgatlioglu is such a coup for MotoGP, and consider the impact of his exit on WSBK - especially with his 2025 title rival Nicolo Bulega also now being lined up for a MotoGP future too.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about the world of motorcycle racing as he sits down with championship rider Aaron Plessinger. He recounts his worst injuries, biggest struggles and greatest accomplishments in the Dirty Mo Media Studio. Regarded as a fan favorite on the AMA Supercross and Motocross circuits, Aaron grew up around the sport thanks to his father Scott, who was a champion off-road motorcyclist himself. Aaron explains that he followed in his father's footsteps into the off-road world in the Grand National Cross Country Series, but ended up giving motocross a serious try and found a knack for it. He would get noticed during an event at Loretta Lynn's Ranch and sign a deal with a factory Yamaha team, Star Racing.Dale and Aaron discuss the different forms of motorcycle racing and how prevalent injuries are in the sport. Aaron explains that racers rarely complete the entire season due to the likelihood of getting hurt, and he shares stories of some of the attrition he's faced over the years. The guys also chat about the training motocross racers go through and how bike setup and crew chiefs make a difference in the sport. Dale asks Aaron about the difference between good and great riders, to which he explains that confidence and mental toughness plays a major role in racing success. They relate over the pressure that professional racers face and methods they've used to overcome nervousness while competing. Finally, the guys chat about Aaron's move to the Red Bull KTM team, his admiration of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and navigating fatherhood. Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!
