The Wheelnerds

Episode 222:   We're joined in-studio this week by Guin of Black Stitch Label, maker of cool stuff. She also does seat customization and upholstering and was able to redo Chuck's Hayabusa seat so that it's a lot more comfortable for his old fat butt. Be sure to check out her page and all the social media for really sweet pics of the stuff she can create as a skilled seamstress. Since she's local here in SLC, she hangs out for the whole show and has some fun with us.  Black Stitch Label: Web, Facebook, and Instagram      Wheelnerds stickers and keytags for sale! Check them out here!     CLASSIFIEDS: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/434088810508127/ https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=4955&acctid=603 https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/56722307 https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcy/d/river-rouge-2006-suzuki-burgman/6929024869.html https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/mcy/d/huntington-woods-two-scooters/6929007062.html https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcy/d/port-h

Episode 220:   Our guest this time around is Robert Pandya, the team manager for International Motorcycle Show's Discover The Ride Initiative. Taking place primarily at the different IMS venues, (and some other places), DTR invites new and experienced riders, from kids to adults, to try out and enjoy five interactive riding zones, with the big one being an actual riding course on speed-limited Zero electric motorcycles. Instructors from Total Control Training provide guidance and instruction while safety gear comes from Cycle Gear, Shark, HJC, and Shoei. They got kids rolling around on Stacyc electric balance bikes. They let you get on a wheelie machine to feel what a wheelie is like. They got a dyno machine so you can sit on something that's really loud. It's equivalent to the 30 min trial dive you can do with Scuba stuff and hopefully, it spreads!       Wheelnerds stickers and keytags for sale! Check them out here!     CLASSIFIEDS: https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2010-Harley-Davidson-ROAD-KING-5007

Episode 219:   On this thrilling episode, Chuck and Todd talk with Steve Knoble of Knoble Moto. Knoble Moto, from the website, is for the DIY mechanic who wants to learn more about repairing and maintaining their own motorcycles. Steve teaches out of Skidmark Garage in Cleveland, Ohio. He offers classes and workshops and even private classes about how to wrench on your own ride and get some self-satisfaction on accomplishing stuff. Or, be like Chuck, and toast marshmallows by the glow of the fire that you've turned your motorcycle into.       Wheelnerds stickers and keytags for sale! Check them out here!     CLASSIFIEDS: Billy's R6 Moto Awareness Plates?

Episode 215:    Joining us live tonight is Austin Rothbard of Twisted Road, a pretty badass service in the sharing industry that connects motorcycle owners with potential motorcycle renters. I could have just said AirBNB for motorcycles but I didn't. Until I did. As an example. You know what? Fuck you, that's what. Twisted Road seems like a pretty cool way to make a few bucks here and there with your motorcycles. We talked to Austin first during AIMExpo. Back then, he only had to deal with Chuck. Tonight, Austin will be answering to Todd and his weighty concerns about letting someone else even *touch* his precious motorcycles.     You can check them out at: http://www.twistedroad.com         Wheelnerds stickers and keytags for sale! Check them out here!     CLASSIFIEDS FROM THE UNITED FEDERATION OF..
