While you're winterizing your bike, do this too...>Sta-bil<. Your engine will thank you.

We talked about the Ducati Multistrada 1200 and 1200S recall over the faulty side-stand that can allow your bike to take a nap.
Indian Releases its new Scout 60....
Norman Readus of "The Walking Dead" to host a new Motorcycle show on AMC in 2016.
Some wacky Professor in Australia believes that all motorcycles should be equipped with alchohol interlocks, ABS, Autonomous Braking, Mobile-Eye obstacle recognition, riders should be lit up like Christmas Trees and restrictions should be placed on riders over 50.

Driving in Mallorca.... you gotta check this out!!!! As a cyclist, I sometimes ride and indoor trainer. While doing this, sometimes I ride to training videos on you tube. They are 60 minutes to 90 minutes long or longer and they all show wonderful roads to ride on. In fact, there are tour companies that offer great vacation packages to this hidden gem for riding. Take some time and watch this video >HD Training< and if you like, skip ahead to the 36:20 minute mark and watch motorcycles mix in with the cyclists. Breathtaking.

Revzilla has its Black Friday Sale coming up and Bike Bandit, JP Cycles and The Motorcycle Superstore are having a bunch of holiday sales going as well.

Check out the helmet Chris is considering here >Helmet<

Season 2, Show 4, Episode 20 - Triumphs, Sportsters and Bad Insurance

A wonderful MM hello to all of you throttle twisting brothers and sisters out there. We think you will really enjoy this episode!! Here's why....

This week we had Steve Blaufeder of TT Cycles in Berkeley Heights New Jersey as a guest on our show. Steve's shop specializes in restoring old Triumphs, Nortons, BSA and other classics. He also builds custom bikes of all types. So check out his wonderful work here >TT Cycles<. Really wonderful stuff.

We went over some hot deals at Bike Bandit who is running a 40% off sale on luggage.
REVZILLA is having a 20% off sale on Waterproof Gloves.
Fix My Hog just adjusted their subscription price to $12 for a year.
JP Cycles is continually running a sale on Cruiser stuff, so check that out if you're the cruiser type.

For our Bike Spec Shootout we went..... different.
Tim went with the 2016 Star VMAX
Chris went with the Harley Davidson Freewheeler Trike
I went with the Moto Guzzi Eldorado

We also talked about the fun Chris is having with getting his bike fixed while Geico and Bergen Harley Davidson duke it out in the parking lot over what's getting fixed. At the time of the recording of the show, no decision was made on the repairs, but since we've come to learn that the two parties who were bickering have kissed and made up and the bike is getting repaired as of this writing. So good for Chris!!

I gave us all a great lesson. The History of the Harley Davidson Sportster. From its inception in 1952, the Sportster has been one of the most recognized and iconic motorcycles Harley Davidson has produced. You can also read the full article here >Sportster<

Now remember, on Sunday, October 18th at 7 p.m., the Motorcycle Men are going to record their show live at The Crossroads in Garwood, NJ. Gonna be lots of fun.

Season 2, Episode 3 (19) - The big fix and the "F" word

Hello Motorcycle boys and girls!! Here we are with Episode number 3 of season 2 and oddly enough is it the shortest episode we've ever done. Thank your lucky stars for that huh?

So in this episode we talked about the expense of being a motorcycle owner and rider. For us financially challenged folks, we manage and only dream of the super cool stuff but we are happy with our ride and the joy of riding even if it isn't the way we should do it.

I shared some interesting information from a few recent polls that were taken on who is the happiest riders, the safest and what type of riders there are. Very interesting stuff. Of course this all comes out of Oz (Australia). The link to that info is here >Surveys< and here >Riders<.

Then of course we reported some really cool deals out there.

Fix My Hog $9 Deal
Great deals at JP Cycles
