Motorcycles & Misfits

Liza is back from Pakistan, and has some interesting stories about how societal norms are changing, and allowing for more women riders. She also made an Ebay purchase she has no memory of making, but boy, was it a good one. Stumpy John has a ride report from his trip visiting all of the peaks in the Sierras, and the group talks about Harley's decision to pull out of King of the Baggers. And lastly, we read some awesome listener emails.

Part 2 of our Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials interviews. If you haven’t listened to part 1, I recommend checking it out. Our first two interviews are both with racers on electric motorcycles, but they are completely different. First up is Rennie Scaysbrook who is riding the fully faired Lightning motorcycle with a potential of 250+ mph. He has raced at Isle of Man and Pikes Peak, but this is his first time at Bonneville. He shares with us his first experiences on the salt. Next up we sit down with Kit and Bear on the Zero with a sidecar. This is their 2nd time at Bonneville, and they are feeling good about the 4 new speed records they set. But of course none of this would happen without the leadership of Delvene Reber. Liza asks her how she got involved with land speed racing, and how she manages such an amazing team of volunteers.

There are only a few places on this planet where you can go as fast as you can and try set a land speed record, and the Bonneville Salt Flats is the most iconic of those places. With 7 miles of nothing by flat white ground, racing and records have been happening here for over a decade. At the BMST you will see everything from 50cc minibikes to 3000+cc streamliners, all pushing the boundaries of what a motorcycle can and should be able to do. And with the Rung What Ya Brung class, you might even see a Buddy 125 scooter putting down the course (hint hint). Liza and Neal spent the week there, hosting the spectator tent, helping teams out, and coming up with good bad ideas. In this episode, Neal talks about his first experience on the salt, and how it felt to push a buddy scooter to it’s limits. Liza talks to Utah Matt about his first time at the salt flats, and Detroit talks about his first time ever riding a Buell as part of the Buell Brothers Racing Team. Neal sits down with the Sodium Distortion Racing Team, who is generally known as the team to go to when you need help with anything at all.

We've got a lot to discuss on this one. First up, Neal got a potential Bonneville bike. We will be working on this project all year, so join us on this journey as we discuss what it's going to take to build a land speed racer. Next up, we talk about different hot topics. Can Liza set another world record with toys? Is Livewire a sinking ship? Is it fair what's happening to CanAm? For our big topic, John asks Ai what would be a good topic to discuss on a motorcycle podcast. Let us know what you think. And lastly, we read emails and get all caught up. Keep them coming!

The gang is back, and we've got a great topic for you; the Spanish Bikes. Montesa, Ossa and Bultaco to name a few. In the 20th century, Spain had quite an impact on the world of motorcycles. Their bikes were nimble, fast, and won races. So we didn't they survive? Join us on a journey into Emma's History Hole. It's deep, it's dark, it's wonderful.

Liza and Neal are fresh back from Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, and they have big ideas. They want to rally the Misfits to build and race a bike next year, so what bike should it be? There are many different classes, so they go through the list and narrow it down to the right bike. What is it? Listen and find out. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Nak, Neal and Naked Jim.

Elspeth Beard has become a household name in the motorcycle world, but it hasn’t always been that way. Back in 1982 she headed off on her around the world motorcycle journey, returning home years later and resuming her life in England as an architect and then a mother. It wasn’t until 2017, when her book came out, that the world would come to know Elspeth for her motorcycle journey. We were fortunate to interview her in early 2017 before the book’s release, and then again in 2018 after she had become the legend we know of her today.

We are back in the studio for a new podcast, and it feels good. Liza is back from her world record ride, and reports on her time at Sturgis Bike Week. Emma is back from Europe and gives a report on her two tours. John, Neal and Jim helped to keep the garage and podcast going, and we all catch up on what we've been doing and where we are going.

Well, Liza did it. She set a world record with Wendy Crockett. And to celebrate, they ended at AMA Vintage Days for a nice weekend of relaxation and fun with friends. They went on the stage to receive their certification and to share stories from their trip. Dame Rose joins them to share her experience on long distance riding, and her first time at VMD.

The Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials will be Aug 23rd to 27th this year, and we will be there. Back in 2019 we had the opportunity to interview Erin Sills about her experience setting records on the salt. She has set 45 land speed records, has multiple Guinness World Records, and her BMW S1000RR is currently on display in the Smithsonian. She brought along her Hunter Sill Racing teammate Trev Richter, who is also chasing records on the salt, and they both have some amazing stories to share. We’ve paired this interview with another from 2019, this time with Stacie B. London of Triple Nickle Racing. Stacie has also set a record, but not quite as fast as Erin. She races on a 1967 Harley Davidson Aermacchi, which is why Bonneville is so great. You can take any bike from any era, and if you can make it go faster than the last person in the same category, you can set a record too. Enjoy these two interviews from the past, and come join us on the salt this August. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

On this week's motorcycle podcast we get a ride report from Scottie's epic journey around California. We check in on upcoming events and rallies. Since it's her last week being at the garage regularly Sofia tells us about her journey into motorcycling and her future plans. We miss Liza and Emma, who are out and about around the globe.

Dipping into the archives for another one of our favorites, and this is a big one. Back in 2018 we got to sit down with the legendary Wayne Rainey. Wayne is a legend in motorcycling (no really, the AMA awarded him that title) with 3 world championships under his belt. He also happens to be the president of the MotoAmerica racing series, despite the fact that he had a career ending crash in 93 that left him in a wheelchair. But that hasn't slowed him down. His post crash life included racing karts and owning his own race team. We dive into the current state of American racing, as well as getting to know a bit about his history, as well as what it takes to get a curve at Laguna Seca named after oneself.

We are going back into the archives to replay some of our favorite episodes, and this one is special. Craig Vetter was the first AMA Hall of Famer to join us in the garage for a live interview. You may know him for his Windjammer fairing, but lately he has been busy designing fuel efficient streamliners, and hosting the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge. Last years winner, Alan Smith, reached 180 miles per gallon with his Ninja 250. Our friend Electric Terry is also here to talk about his Vetter streamlined Zero S that runs at a cost of 1.3 cents per mile. Craig Vetter has got things figured out, and is making great strides to make the world a better place. Listen and enjoy.

Liza is back from the TT and has stories to tell. From leading the Legacy Lap on a 1953 Norton Meteor, being an extra in the Channing Tatum film about the TT, and the Tour of Awesome Women in Wales and England to name a few. She also shares some advice on visiting the Isle of Man, and what places you may want to visit across the UK.

Time to dip into the archives for another favorite past episode. Yuri Barrigan made his mark on the racing world when he set off to the Isle of Man Manx race with his two 400cc supermotos. Known as the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, you need balls of steel to even attempt it. And to do it on a supermoto? Titanium. And thanks to Yuri, supermotos are now banned at the Isle of Man. Yuri joined us back in 2015 to share his story of what it takes to race at the Isle of Man, and what it will take to go back again. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew https://womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop

Back in 2017 we interviewed Carolynn Sells, and it’s still one of our favorite interviews today. And now in 2026 Liza is checking off a bucket list item, and will be riding alongside Carolynn and all of the other woman riders on the mountain course as they lead the Legacy Lap at the Isle of Man TT this summer. Carolynn Sells is the only woman to win a solo race on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, an achievement that earned her a Guinness World Record. In 2009 she won the Ultralightweight Manx Grand Prix, and has been a fixture on the Isle of Man race scene ever since. You might find her behind the microphone interviewing racers now, but Carolynn’s history with racing goes way back. Growing up on the Isle, her dad began racing in the Manx Grand Prix when she was 12 years old and she was determined to get her own racing license. Enjoy this remastered retro interview with Carolynn Sells.

Craig and Chris from Pacific Motorcycle Training join us to see if the Misfits know their stuff. We are put through a knowledge test on advanced riding techniques, thus proving the point that any riders, no matter the experience, can benefit from further riding classes. Scottie brings up the subject of e-bikes and training that's becoming available, which brings us to the question; should we add tiered licensing, and if so, what would the tiers be?

Michael Uhlarik joins us again to talk about the state of the motorcycle industry, how the Chinese brands are going to fit, and fills us in on what really happened at Damon Motorcycles. But first, we talk about what's been happening in the garage, how we lost an old friend, and why you should go ride the Lost Sierra.
