Episode 2.5 - Misaligned Priorities & Motorcycle-by-Proxy

Hole in the Head Moto Podcast

Every adventure starts with a conversation, and this one is well under way.
In our last chat we were in awe about the universe’s master plan to fulfill Blaine’s lifelong goal of having a particularly collectible motorcycle, without the pre-requisite of my untimely demise. A passed-up BMW led to a purchased BMW led to space becoming available in my garage, which was promptly filled with a Moto Guzzi, which introduced a very attainable Moto Morini 3 1/2. But of course, that’s all irrelevant until he actually gets the bike….
Blaine is a little pouty again, but, with good reason. I dropped the ball and did not get over to see the Morini like I wanted to, but not to worry the guy hadn’t sold it, I was just having a particularly bummer week. Since before the pandemic, all the way back in 2019, my personal and professional spheres have been … hectic. I’ll spare the detail, but the long and short of it is - expending energy to chase something you don’t have any passion for is exhausting. And when it doesn’t go smoothly, living like a raw nerve isn’t pleasant for anyone.

The Hole in the Head Podcast is an evolving conversation between Andy Taylor and Blaine Dehmlow. We’re regular guys who love all things vintage cars and motorcycles, but also building and mechanical projects of all kinds.
Some of our worst ideas often come to life as we find and fix old, weird projects, sometimes WITH the support of our significant others. Join us as we chase vintage Ducatis, old Studebaker pickups or clunky German watches.
