Topics

• Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge update: First six letters have been drawn for week one and some riders have already scored points.
• Donations are being accepted to support the winners of the MPC and we are seeding the pot with $125 to start!
• Harley lines up to make a bid for Harley Davidson?
  • Moto-vloggers mentioned during this conversation: Rogue Mogul, Amp'd Moto, Bacon's Broken Bits
• Where is my LiveWire?!?! Let's keep making noise until Harley brings this to market.

U-TURN

• David Green sent a note looking to get our take on the Yamaha Raider. He's 6'4" and we include some comments from First Five Rider Jebie since he owns a Raider.
• Nev Lee who was a guest on the show for episode 31, is out on his ride again to raise awareness for diabetes. Check out his travels and get a t-shirt before the campaign ends.

GARAGE

• Rich is starting to take apart the R6 for a new chain and sprockets. Enjoying the process of cleaning it up, looking for things that need to be fixed, and just becoming familiar with a sport bike.
• Jon has 15k service done on the Spyder and learns that the semi-auto shifting requires good oil pressure. Since it was a quart low, the shifting was not smooth.

The 2000 Yamaha R6 on the stands with the lower fairings removed. Rich is coming up to speed with this type of bike and performing some maintenance before getting this on the road.

 
New bike Jon mentioned and belongs to Omega.
 
Hmmm, what would you get if you crossed these two brands? We give our thoughts on the rumor of Harley making a bid for Ducati. Photo credit: Chris Geiss
