SPEAKER_02 0:28

SPEAKER_01 0:42

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:44

And uh I'm Ted, your host, here in the corner at the V20 Cafe, and as always, we have the same group of people as a Motley Crew. Tim Buck2, of course, is here. And uh we don't know where Chris is. We assume he's asleep somewhere. So, you know. But anyway, uh Justin Brown shoes. Get the fuck up! Yeah. Hi, boys. Yeah, what's what's going on?

SPEAKER_05 1:18

You are baby. I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_02 1:22

Man, it's like we're just and I were just talking about the the weather. It was it was nice this morning. It was like Yeah, in the morning. Like mid-80s, mid-upper eighties. And then it's like I it's like I went outside, I went, I got something out of my truck, I came back in a house, and then a couple hours later I went back outside, and it was like I was standing on the surface of the sun. The weather just like went freaking crazy, and it's what was it? Feel like it was 107 today?

SPEAKER_05 1:51

Yeah. Well, it's summer, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:53

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_05 1:54

It is what it is.

SPEAKER_02 1:55

I know, it is what it is, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:57

And then it's supposed to be summer, and you decided to more move to the south.

SPEAKER_02 2:00

Yeah, where it's it where you know what you know interesting, it's interesting factoid here, right? It is hotter here than it is in Florida. How about that?

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Right. That's good. I don't know about good.

SPEAKER_02 2:14

Oh my god. It's like everything is like all melty and stuff. It's all crappy. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 2:21

How about some of those places where tires are melting? Really?

SPEAKER_02 2:24

Seriously?

SPEAKER_04 2:25

Yeah, there's people that have like the tires are sticking to the ground and they can I don't even know where it was. I saw it like it's so hot. Like in Vegas and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

You know what it's interesting though, is what it what happens to asphalt in heat like this. Yeah, right. Oh man. It's like you put your kickstand down and then you if you're not if you don't put a puck under your your kickstand, your your bike's gonna probably gonna take a nap.

SPEAKER_04 2:54

Well, that's why all your stuff all your uh your driveways are all uh concrete instead of uh asphalt.

SPEAKER_02 3:00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:01

Your tires are just sitting there, you'd be just sinking into the ground with the biggest.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

Sinking in, and yeah. Oh my god. It's been it's been really bad. But um we're all good and everything's groovy cool, and uh it's it's it's been uh uh we've been kind of busy doing stuff. I know you guys, everybody's doing stuff. Tim's golfing. You golf today, Tim?

SPEAKER_04 3:20

I did not.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

I golfed yesterday. You golfed yesterday. Tell us about your golf experience.

SPEAKER_04 3:25

No, it was horrible.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

Oh, do tell.

SPEAKER_04 3:27

Oh, he shot an 81. No. I shot a 91.

SPEAKER_05 3:34

All right, listen. I don't want to hear anything about horrible if it's not triple digits.

SPEAKER_04 3:39

What do you mean? Why does it have to be triple digits? Horrible. Is anything even horrible for me? Yeah. Last week I played a whole a whole n day without losing the ball. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 3:54

See, that's a great feat to do that. That's a thing to strive for.

SPEAKER_05 3:57

Of course, like, you know, when when you're just done that on nine holes.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

But you know what, that's easy to do in miniature golf. So I've never lost a ball in Retro Golf either. But you know, you you you have gotten a couple 82s, right? You got a couple 82s.

SPEAKER_04 4:16

You have an 80.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

You shot an 80, Justin.

SPEAKER_04 4:19

Yeah, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 4:21

Yeah, well, hey, you know, you shot an 80. That's good.

SPEAKER_04 4:24

Hey, I'm retired. I mean, I have one goal, and that's to shoot an 80. Shoot under 80.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

So what happens? So when you shoot a 79, you're gonna give it up?

SPEAKER_04 4:32

Oh, yeah, right, sure.

SPEAKER_02 4:34

No.

SPEAKER_04 4:34

Oh, then I'm gonna shoot for 75.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

No, no, no, and then you shoot for a 70, or you shoot for a par. You gotta shoot for a par of the course. Easier said than done. No, well, come on.

SPEAKER_04 4:46

There's always blow-up holes, right, Justin? Every hole for me is a blow-up hole.

SPEAKER_05 4:53

But no, it's true. There are absolutely the the blow-up hole usually comes after you have a really good holder to the case. It's right, exactly. You should burn it next to it.

SPEAKER_02 5:03

Your confidence is through the roof.

SPEAKER_05 5:04

You're getting that stroke right there. You're like, I think, I think my game's turning around, and then you shoot an eight.

SPEAKER_02 5:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:13

We play gentlemen eighth, you know, and we just know more than one.

SPEAKER_02 5:22

Ain't that the truth? See, that's why I gave go gave up golf. Because I I, you know, I generally don't like to get involved in things I suck at.

SPEAKER_04 5:30

So Well, everybody sucks at everything when they first start. Well, yeah. It's all a matter of what effort you put into it. I think I had nothing out of it.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

I I think I quit golf after playing it for three years. I think that'cause I never broke it. I never broke a hundred.

SPEAKER_04 5:47

I never broke a hundred.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Not that I didn't have I never had my own clubs either.

SPEAKER_04 5:52

Right. That's that's that's a problem.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:54

Uh yeah, so I got guys that I play with that always shooting around a hundred and they're always bitching. I said, you have no right to bitch because you never work at it. If the only time you play is when you come here and you don't work at it at home or go to the driving range and work out stuff, you're gonna stay the same. So don't bitch. I have a right to bitch. I go to the driving range once a week and I still suck. So I have a right to bitch.

SPEAKER_02 6:23

See, Justin just knows he he's just sucking at it.

SPEAKER_05 6:26

Well, I don't I I don't play enough. Like, so like I'm gonna I'm going on Saturday.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Oh, you are?

SPEAKER_05 6:32

And where are you playing? Uh actually, I don't know if it's this Saturday or next Saturday, whatever it is. Um I'm playing Ashbrook, but uh I uh that'll be the second time I've been out this whole this whole year. And the first time was in like I don't know, May or something like that. Like, I don't I don't get out enough to be able to build on anything, so every time I go, I suck.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

Do we do we want to take bets as to what his score's gonna be?

SPEAKER_05 7:07

105. I would shoot higher.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

Really? Like I I'll go one, I'll go, I'll go a 110. How's that? That's my guess. 110.

SPEAKER_05 7:17

Add them together. No.

SPEAKER_04 7:21

Justin, I'm gonna help you out right now. Instead of taking full swings, take half swings. And you'll do a lot better, promise.

SPEAKER_05 7:29

You know what's funny you say that, because I actually uh I was thinking about I was I well, I wasn't thinking about half swings, but I was thinking about the equivalent of like a three-quarter swing. Like I was thinking about just like not trying to fucking absolutely send it. Not that I tried absolutely send it, but I was thinking about trying to focus more on hitting the ball straight. Yeah. Which for the most part is not really my struggle. It's just sometimes I just you're chopping it or you're fattening it. Sometimes, or but my my short game is is not tremendous.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

I remember one time, uh well back when I was playing golf, and it was Tim, uh, myself, uh, one of the guys I worked with, and uh a friend of his. I don't know if you remember this, Tim. We were playing at a golf course down where I lived. It was um what was the name of the course down there? I don't remember. Okay, I it was uh anyway, it was we were on this one hole, and I guess Tim and this guy got into this I I this match between themselves, and Tim was crushing every drive. He I don't care if it was the par three, he was crushing the shit out of the ball. I can drive further than you. Watch this. And both of these two were going at it, and there was balls flying over. And that's the I think that might have been the game where we almost got struck by lightning.

SPEAKER_04 9:02

Oh, that's right. Remember that? And they had it, they came out in the truck and picked us up and said, We don't want you out here, and it was pouring out, and we're in the back of this truck and it's pouring out.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 9:12

It was uh matter of fact, I remember that one time because uh in the beginning I I managed to hole one out of a bunker.

SPEAKER_06 9:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:23

That's always a break for like when you hold out of a bunker. Now I have my bunker plate as shit.

SPEAKER_05 9:29

Actually, I'm not bad out of a bunker. Really? So there's your key right there. It's like the one time, then you can just absolutely fucking mash it, and that's exactly what you need to do. Like nothing.

SPEAKER_02 9:44

There's your key right there, dude. Aim for the bunker every time. And then all you gotta do is if you're good out of the bunker, there you go. We're just gonna call you bunker from now on.

SPEAKER_05 9:55

There you go.

SPEAKER_02 9:57

Hey, maybe we should um you think we should stop talking about golf and start talking about motorcycles? So, anyway, so uh uh last uh two weeks I had interviews. I spoke with uh Narissa of this uh YouTube channel called uh and uh Instagram page called uh She Knows Moto. And she basically just talks about uh her getting into motorcycles and what she does and doing her own repairs. She's actually an engineer, so she does her own repairs on her bike and things like that. So it was a really interesting article. Then I spoke with uh Aaron Douglas from Custer State Park, and we were talking about the roads out there, uh Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, and what the uh what attendees, people who are going to the park to ride their motorcycles through, what should expect and all that. And uh great interview. Really, really enjoyed that one. So that was that. Um have you guys at all seen any of the videos coming out of Sturgis?

SPEAKER_05 10:55

Uh a handful, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:57

Did you see the weather they're having?

SPEAKER_05 11:00

No, I didn't. No.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

They're getting hailed on and rained on like crazy.

SPEAKER_05 11:06

I didn't I didn't see all the videos I saw, there was no bad weather.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

Oh my god. There was a I I I should have had a video prepared, but I didn't. But there was a a couple of videos I saw where I think they were on um Vinocker Canyon Road uh out of uh Rapid City. Or maybe they were further west, I'm not 100% sure. But they had um uh the road was covered in snow and hail.

SPEAKER_04 11:31

Really?

SPEAKER_02 11:32

Yeah, so there was like all you could see people uh guys on bikes cruising along with their feet out, like in like outriggers, and driving in the little tiny little line that the cars left behind. So yeah, it's been pretty brutal. That's not fun. Right. So yeah, it they they've been having some wicked weather.

SPEAKER_05 11:49

Well, it happens like every year.

SPEAKER_02 11:52

Uh yeah, well, you know, the two years that I went, we did have some bad weather in the 2023, we did have some bad weather in the beginning, and it was like these spotty rainstorms that would crop up out of freaking nowhere.

SPEAKER_05 12:07

There's nothing to stop them.

SPEAKER_02 12:08

Right, it's just a deluge for about an hour and then it stops. And unlike here, it does it doesn't turn into a swamp, steamy, swampy, you know, you get that swamp ass thing. That didn't happen. But uh but last time I went in 2024, uh, all the storms we had came at night. Which which was good. You know, that that's when you want the storms to happen. So but um Yeah, right now, uh things are kind of things are kind of chill. I uh I can put this up. Hang on a second I'll just leave I'll just leave it up so you guys can look. But it's pretty cool. There's a lot of cool stuff going on right now. I'm gonna share the screen, but this is so our folks at home can watch. Sure they will. Anyway, but uh yeah, things have been uh pretty uh pretty cool, you know.

SPEAKER_04 12:58

It doesn't look that bad there, it looks nice.

SPEAKER_02 12:59

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

Is it going on right now?

SPEAKER_02 13:03

This is right now, this is live. Yeah, this is uh this is a uh yeah. This is uh Main Street. They got they got a uh what do you call it? Uh cam going on there. Live live cam. Yeah, so but that's but that pavilion there to the left is where um Justin, you might recognize this. They have they have bands play there and all that. But pretty cool. So yeah, that's the weather right now. Anyway, but uh so yeah, things have been uh crazy. Uh the the rally is underway. Uh there is uh stuff happening. Oh we got it going on. They got giveaways going on, they got of course the concerts and things like that are happening. Uh our friend, our good friend Larry Marshall, who usually goes, isn't there this year. He didn't go there this year. But some of the guys uh we got uh Dave Shoop and I think even a couple of the other guys uh from the Loud of Pipes podcast and uh the Chasing Asphalt Podcast are out there. Uh so they're gonna give us a full report and all that. So yeah, things are cool. So I in a way I'm kinda when after I see this the weather, I kinda I'm kinda glad I didn't go.

unknown 14:13

You know.

SPEAKER_05 14:15

Are you uh are you making up for it by riding at home?

SPEAKER_02 14:19

Uh no, I haven't I haven't been doing that much riding at all. It's just been too freaking hot. I know, and I don't just well, you know, it's it's like the wintertime. You don't want to you don't want to bundle up to go riding in the wintertime, and then in the summer months you just don't want to be miserably hot when you're riding either. So um and it's not good for the bike, really. But uh I haven't I suppose I could get out early and go ride, but you know, or I could ride at night, and I'm not a huge fan of the riding at night, but anyway. So, anyway, um the motorcycle podcasters challenge is in currently we're on week seven right now. Awesome, and it's going really, really well. Everybody's having a great time. And right now, uh, I can I can show you guys the scoring. Well, where is it? Why'd it go away? I don't know why it went away. Yeah, it went away. See, why it's going, I don't know why it goes blank. Anyway. Let me change the screen quickly. But the the the challenge is going very well. Uh everybody's having a good old time. And uh I'm one of some of the comments that I'm hearing is that a lot of people are just they're they like they're liking what's happening in a challenge because they're they're seeing things they've would have never seen before. They're uh that that they would have otherwise just driven by. Um, some of these roadside attractions they've never that they've never seen, they're just cruising by. Um right now, the way the stats stand, uh we have of our eighteen of our 19 solo riders, um the points are racking up, and these people are gathering the attractions. But right now the team standings are uh the loud asphalt pipe chasers team, team number one, uh currently has 508 points, and they've a they've gathered 278 attractions so far. Yeah. So just to give you an idea of what we're talking about as far as goes for gathering in the attractions and stuff like that. Uh cumulatively, with all the team members, every all the solo riders uh that are participating in this right now, uh, these are the teams we have all of the riders on all the teams and all the solo riders collectively have gathered over twelve hundred attractions. Roadside attractions across the country. So it's pretty amazing when you think about it that there's how give you an idea how much there is out there. Most of the a lot of the staywaters, a lot of the uh attractions are coming out of California.

SPEAKER_05 17:08

That's one of the largest.

SPEAKER_02 17:09

Yeah, getting a lot out of California.

SPEAKER_05 17:11

How many of those podcasts are out of California?

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Uh okay, we got uh these guys here, Lanas for pipe chasers. These guys are East Coast, uh North North Carolina, but they have some of their team members. See, uh John is North Carolina, Chad is Texas, uh Chris is Pennsylvania, Rich is North Carolina, Dave Shoop is Pennsylvania, Eric Bishop. I think he is I think he's California, I'm not sure. Uh Roadside Rebels, uh their people are all I think mostly California. The Goon Platoon, those guys are all California, just about I think one other guys might be from Georgia. And uh Moto 1 EU O S, uh, they're from California also. Mountain Hogs, these guys are in Utah. So yeah. It's going really cool right now. And what else? Uh do I have any photos to show you? No, I don't. So the bonus attraction things are going really well. These guys are gathering up the attractions and all that. Uh you know, some five and ten point attractions, these guys are gathering up. And they're hitting it, man. I'll tell you what, some of the solos are just doing a kick-ass job, too. The solos are doing really great. Um a couple of them, uh, 07 and 08. These two guys right here. They uh they left out of Tennessee and they headed west and northwest, and all I did was hit bonus attractions the entire way. That's all they did, just hit the bonus attractions. So these people, they're having a great time.

SPEAKER_04 18:46

How come one has 66 attractions but 89 points?

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Well, see, that's just it. Uh if the mo all the how do I explain this? Most of the attractions are one point attractions. But there are bonus attractions that are worth worth five points and ten points. So they may gather an attraction, but the point value is gonna give them a higher score. So that's the that's the way it's going. And it's it's really been really I tell you what, what an undertaking this has been. Uh, because on weekends, usually on weekends, I get swamped with up to uh well one time I had almost 200 submissions in a weekend. Uh but most of the time I'm getting uh most of the time I'm getting about Hello! I've been getting about 75 to 100 submissions in a weekend lately. And during the week I don't get very many many during the week because obviously because people are working right now. Hey Chris. How you doing? What's new and exciting?

SPEAKER_03 19:50

Nothing. Nothing.

SPEAKER_02 19:54

Lovely. So anyway. But that's uh what's going on with that. Uh we get let me put back up the uh the Sturgis page so you guys can watch what's going on in Sturgis.

SPEAKER_03 20:06

You know, I was just watching something in Sturgis.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

Yeah, this is uh Main Street in Sturgis right now. That's up on the screen. But yeah, things are things are cool. And uh that's it. How you doing, Chrissy? What you went up to?

SPEAKER_03 20:19

Nothing. Working, that's it.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

Yeah, cool. Get any writing in. Oh well, okay. Nice and nice and hot there, right? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, uh, just a couple things we can touch on. Do you want to do business first? Or yeah, we can just Chris just came in, so we'll just we'll just do some some stuff. Hey, uh, so what's that?

SPEAKER_03 20:46

Do your thing.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

Do my thing. So I found three articles that I wanted to share with you guys. And um I just thought I wanted to get your your your sh uh opinions on them and just your thoughts. Uh we have three articles. The ugliest HDs, the coolest looking factory HDs, and the most underrated Harley Davidson's. So I just thought this would be pretty interesting, something to share. So let's what do you want to start with? The ugliest, the coolest, or the most underrated? What do you want to start with?

SPEAKER_03 21:17

Uh ugliest. Yeah, I want to see, I want to see what they deem ugliest.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

The ugliest. Let's start with the ugliest uh Harley Davidson's. Okay, let me just stop sharing this and start sharing the other screen. Worst looking Harley Davidson's ever. I don't know, but that's that's that's a bold claim. That's a very bold claim. So here we go. The 2009 road glide. I d I don't know. How big should a motorcycle be? We don't know the exact answer to that, but we know one.

SPEAKER_03 21:55

We got a problem with that particular year.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

Yeah, the 2009 road glide was too big. How big is it? It's so big it might be as well be a car. It's not a low-riding hot, but certainly not a zippy crotch rocket either. It's the SUV of motorcycles, and that's not a compliment.

SPEAKER_03 22:11

A guy that works in a company next to my company. Yeah. He's got like a 2014 road glide. The fucking thing is a goddamn monster. What the fuck are they talking about?

SPEAKER_01 22:23

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

I don't know why they think that's ugly. I don't really don't get it. Uh the XR 1200. Now, I don't think this is ugly at all. Well, I don't know. I never thought the XR 1200 was ugly.

SPEAKER_03 22:38

Uh yeah, that's pretty fucking ugly, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_02 22:40

You think so?

SPEAKER_03 22:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

Do we lose Justin?

SPEAKER_05 22:44

No, it's just like a cafe racer.

SPEAKER_02 22:46

Yeah, it's a Sportster with a different kind of body style. That's all it is. That's all it is.

SPEAKER_03 22:51

Yeah, that looks pretty ugly. I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

And yeah, let me tell you something about the XR 1200. It's a lot smaller than I thought it was. I get it. It's the Sportster frame, but it just looks bigger than it really is. Because I sat, I was like, why does this feel so small? But I don't know. I think the XR 1200 is a cool bike. I don't know. I I think the red is a horrible color for it. The black and the white is much better looking.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

Maybe that's it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

Yeah. And uh the set 1977 Confederate Edition Sportster. They released the Liberty Edition. It's an aesthetic upgrade of its Super Glide and Electroglide models intended to mark the passing of the America's bicentennial. The bike featured sh uh striking graphics and celebrated America in the time of her 200th birthday. So they came out with a Confederate edition, and you can probably see what the problem is with that. Not to get political or anything, but the Confederate States of America infamously fought a war against the United States, resulting in uh blah blah blah into all the politics of that bullshit. Anyway, I what's that a 76? Oh, it's a 76. That's an Iron Head Sportster, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 24:09

Just bland looking.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Yeah, very bland. Yeah, I can agree with that. And then the Topper.

SPEAKER_03 24:14

Oh that Natal looks fun. I'd ride the shit out of that one.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

1960 Topper. It's a it's a it's I'll tell you what, you know, it for a it's a bizarre looking scooter. I don't know. You ever seen one of these, Justin?

SPEAKER_05 24:30

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

You don't think you've ever seen one of these? That's for the capital L. Yeah. This is the exact one that they show that that they have in the Harley Davidson Museum. And uh Yeah. I don't know what they were thinking design-wise. I don't know, maybe they just didn't have the same people working there. I don't know. The XLCR Cafe Racer.

SPEAKER_05 24:59

I think this guy just doesn't like Cafe Racer.

SPEAKER_02 25:01

I don't know. I I I guess. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's a 77 debut that this came out. Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 25:10

I I think anytime you have a a thing like this where it's being judged, it's it's very subjective. Of course it is. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh yeah, right. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 25:21

They only uh I'm just writing an article, that's all thousand of these were made. How about that? In fact, did you guys see the um the most recent photographs of and videos of the Harley Davidson uh I guess you can call it sport bike that was out. They had it out at some rally and they were premiering it, and it was on a s it was on a stand, and they had it running and all that. It it almost looked like this. Almost looked like the XL XLCR. Almost. Yeah, I don't know. Sorry if I'm boring you guys. I'm sorry. Uh the 2019 LiveWire Project Electric Motorcycle, I don't think the bike is ugly.

SPEAKER_03 26:07

I don't know. A lot of people pick on a live wire, nothing, you know.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

I don't know. I don't I don't think it's ugly. I and I've ridden a bike uh just a couple times.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

People just can't wrap their heads around Harley making a bike like that.

SPEAKER_02 26:20

I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know how the company is doing. I never I've never looked into it. But uh I don't know. I didn't think the bike was ugly, I thought it was pretty cool. The 74Z90.

SPEAKER_04 26:30

There we go. There you go. That's it.

SPEAKER_02 26:32

See?

SPEAKER_04 26:33

All gotta get those.

SPEAKER_02 26:34

That thing.

SPEAKER_04 26:35

That is awesome, dude. Totally sweet.

SPEAKER_02 26:38

That's awesome. I wish they still made something like that.

SPEAKER_05 26:42

Because when I was little, I always wanted a minibike. Dude, if they if they sold that thing for like three grand, oh my god, are you kidding me? It would be all over the place.

SPEAKER_02 26:50

Hell yes. It would be. It would be all they gotta get smart.

SPEAKER_05 26:54

That would put like a fucking 50cc motor in it. Yeah. And just fucking sell the snot out of it.

SPEAKER_04 27:01

Yeah. They should make a fat boy that small.

SPEAKER_02 27:05

Well, why not? Would it be called the little boy?

SPEAKER_04 27:10

Right, the little boy, right? There you go. That'll work. That'll be funny. That'd be funny shit to drive.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

Street 750. Yes, I agree with this. This is ugly. This is horrible.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

That one got picked on relentlessly. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:25

I don't know what they were trying to appeal to a different audience, and it didn't appeal to anybody, actually. Uh the V Rod, which I absolutely 100% disagree with. This is a sexy bike.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

Yeah, that's I'm always shocked to hear that a lot of people just pick on the V-Rod, too. I don't get it. That's bike. It's pretty sharp looking.

SPEAKER_05 27:45

It doesn't like it it looks like it can be cousins with the live wire.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

Yeah, a little bit of it. Yeah, it's the framework. It's the Trellis framework that does it. That's why. But uh I'm sorry, man. The V-Rod is a sexy bike, and it's just if you ever guys ever get a chance to, it's on it's on YouTube. You can watch the documentary on the creation of the V-Rod. It's really super interesting. It's about, I guess it's almost an hour long, but it's a worthwhile watch what uh what they did to go through to make this bike. And it was really, really fascinating. I'm telling you, if if I buy ever buy another motorcycle, it's gonna be a V-ROD.

SPEAKER_05 28:31

What do you mean if that's like saying if he goes to Sturgis? This is like that same bullshit about oh, if I go to Sturgis, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh well, I bought a uh a camping truck bed tent thing. He did buy a camper with a fucking satellite dish for the top of the ranger. You know he did buy a camper, you know that, right? I know. Yeah, so the next step is Sturgis.

SPEAKER_02 28:59

Well, yeah, I've been looking into it.

SPEAKER_04 29:02

He's gonna pick you up first. He's gonna pick you up on a way.

SPEAKER_02 29:04

I've I've been looking into it.

SPEAKER_05 29:05

You know, it's just there's some, there's some what's And I'm sure there's I'm sure there's a V-rod somewhere for sale on the way.

SPEAKER_02 29:13

Uh, you know, it's as broke as I am. Now listen, every motorcyclist does this. Everyone regardless of how broke you are, regardless of how many motorcycles you have, you're always looking at the one ads, you're always looking at cycle trader or whatever, you're always looking at motorcycles. You always are. It's just a thing, right? I'm always looking. Uh I'm cycle trader or whatever. I'm looking at V-Rods. I I've I must have like 30 of them in my watch list. So yeah, I don't know. It's a thing, it's a sickness, right? But anyway, so I disagree with this. I don't think I think the V-ROD is gorgeous. That's my point. Harley Davidson model number one. These people are just on drugs. I think they're just looking for something to hate.

SPEAKER_04 30:02

That's that's that's the first like one of the first iterations of the Harley. Why would you pick on it? I they think it's on. That makes no sense.

SPEAKER_03 30:11

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense because that literally, the what you just said. I mean, that's the fuck, it's the first Harley. It started at all.

SPEAKER_04 30:19

That's the only thing they knew about bikes at that point. Is that frame?

SPEAKER_02 30:24

It's a it's a bicycle with a motor. It's a bicycle with a motor. Yeah, exactly. It's a bicycle with a motor.

SPEAKER_04 30:28

How do you pick on it?

unknown 30:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

I don't know. I when when I went to the Harley Davidson Museum, it was I was awestruck through the entire time I walked through that place. And just to see these original bikes from I mean the from the very first one, this one here, uh, which is in the museum, by the way. And right through, you know, 1903, 1904, all the way up, every single year, they had an example of every single year motorcycle from the beginning to current. And how can you I I don't know. I you just can't say something like this is ugly.

SPEAKER_04 31:09

You know, yeah, it's right, because it's it's it's ugly to our standards now. Yeah, exactly. Not not ugly when it was made. Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 31:17

I don't know, I still think it's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_04 31:19

It is absolutely cool. Yeah, but I'm just saying that's what I'm saying, what they're going by.

SPEAKER_02 31:23

Yeah, exactly. Uh moving on to the next thing. Let's move on to oh, I closed the wrong thing. Very good, Ted. You're a smart little fella. Good job. Uh the coolest looking factory HDs. Let's do that.

SPEAKER_05 31:40

Is it written by the same guy?

SPEAKER_02 31:41

No, no, no. This is coming on from the Harley Davidson Forums. Coolest looking. So right now they're showing uh the first one here, they're showing the the deluxe right here, they're showing. Which, Justin, you had one of these, right?

SPEAKER_05 31:56

I did.

SPEAKER_02 31:56

Which year what year was yours?

SPEAKER_05 31:58

When I was on the 08.

SPEAKER_02 31:59

There's an 08. I think the uh deluxe is cool. Actually, it's kind of like it's a heritage classic without the bags and the windshield.

SPEAKER_03 32:07

I think it's cool looking.

SPEAKER_02 32:08

Ah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 32:08

Well, that's a deluxe, right?

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Yeah, what's that?

SPEAKER_03 32:11

That was a deluxe. I like that bike. Hey, that was always one of my favorites. Very nice bike.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

Deluxe is a wake.

SPEAKER_03 32:16

Why did they stop making that one?

SPEAKER_02 32:17

Who knows? It could be any number of reasons. You know, the sale, I think sales drives the decision every time.

SPEAKER_04 32:23

And it was a very popular bike though, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_02 32:26

Uh I I don't think it's it was any more popular than any of the other ones.

SPEAKER_03 32:31

Just in the case, yeah, I don't think it I don't think it stood up, but stood out in the only complaint I could see people making about it was it's very heritage-y.

SPEAKER_06 32:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:40

Possibly. Like I said, you throw you throw a windshield on there and some bags, and you're you got a heritage. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 32:46

What's wrong with that?

SPEAKER_05 32:48

What's wrong with a heritage? Nothing's wrong with that heritage. Oh, nothing. But I think that was the issue. It's like for essentially the same price.

SPEAKER_03 32:55

Yeah, it was a stripped-down heritage.

SPEAKER_05 32:57

Yeah, right. So it's like by the time you put windshields in a bag and you know, a passenger seat on it, it's like you might as well just get a fucking heritage in there.

SPEAKER_02 33:06

Next we have the 1936 EL Knucklehead. The coolest looking factory motorcycle. You know, I I I kind of I kind of dig the knucklehead, but I tell you what, I would I would go with the early the next model earlier. I think it was the I think it was the uh was the it was a flathead. I can't remember which one it was called. It was the flathead. Actually, actually, Dale's Wheels of Time, they're giving away a knucklehead in this same color, and the year before is a 35 or 34, the giving away. The 34 has the uh flathead. But that's a cool looking motorcycle, man. That this is the kind of bike you you enter in, like the uh what is it what's it called? The the cannonball that has the the motorcycle cannonball. And it's all vintage motorcycles from 1936 or earlier that goes across the country. Hell yes. Absolutely. Next, the 48 Hydroglide.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

I I like that with the panhandle. I like it.

SPEAKER_02 34:12

I've never started a bike with a kickstart, have you, Justin? Yeah. Is that fun?

SPEAKER_05 34:19

I mean it's different.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 34:22

You know, I mean provided it starts on a first kick.

SPEAKER_02 34:25

Well, I was gonna say Or does it launch you over to the heliborns?

SPEAKER_05 34:28

Well, no. If if the if the piston's in the wrong spot. Yeah It's it can be finicky. You know what I mean? It it does depend on, you know, like you know, sometimes you get a first or second kick, other times you're just sitting there like hopping up and down the thing like an asshole.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

Forgetting all these uh things from too. Cool. Uh next bike.

SPEAKER_04 35:00

Yeah, cool.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

Next one is the 1958 Duo Glide. That's pretty like that.

SPEAKER_04 35:06

That's really pretty. Very pretty bike. They used to use different colors. They used to do two tones. They don't do two tones anymore.

SPEAKER_02 35:13

Yeah, they I don't know. They just see this funny bike.

SPEAKER_04 35:16

That's where the bikes looked really sharp.

SPEAKER_02 35:20

Look at that horn, size of that frickin' horn that's on here.

SPEAKER_01 35:24

It should be.

SPEAKER_02 35:25

Yeah. And next they got the 1977 FSX FXS Lowrider.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

Somebody that had one of those.

SPEAKER_02 35:33

You know what funny thing is, I did too. When I was in the Navy and I was stationed down in Guantanamo, uh, one of the guys that worked in the hangar, he was uh he was he outranked me. He he ordered one of these. This is back in the day when you had to order your Harley Davidson and wait for it. He ordered his and had it delivered to Guantanamo. And uh it was silver, and he I can remember him riding around. You know, there wasn't a lot, it wasn't a lot of roads in Guantanamo, but he rode all over the base with that thing. Man, it was it was really cool back in the day. Uh next we got the uh 1990 Fat Boy.

SPEAKER_04 36:12

Yep, of course.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

Yeah.

unknown 36:14

Right?

SPEAKER_04 36:15

Everybody the first year of the Fat Boy?

SPEAKER_03 36:17

It says it right in there. That became popular after Terminator 2.

SPEAKER_02 36:21

Yep. The very first one. The Fat Boy. Everybody loves a fat boy.

SPEAKER_03 36:26

Uh easy. That's the that's when I fell in love with the fat boy.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

You think you think that if if it wasn't for that movie, this bike would even exist? That is horrible. Or or would it even put it this way? Like, say the popularity. Right, exactly. Yes, say like, you know, the bike came out, but it was never in the movie. Do you think it would still be as popular?

SPEAKER_03 36:50

Probably not, because our I mean, uh, Terminator 2 made that bike just thing to have. Yeah, just threw it out there, man. Like, I mean, that was a big one. Having Arnold or riding a bike the whole movie? For fuck's sake, holy shit. You couldn't ask you couldn't ask for a better commercial.

SPEAKER_01 37:08

I guess not. No. Uh the 2009.

SPEAKER_03 37:13

They tried that later on with other bikes and it did not work. No, it didn't. That's because they it was an Arnold.

SPEAKER_02 37:20

Was it Arnold?

SPEAKER_03 37:21

Arnold.

SPEAKER_02 37:26

The 2009 CVO Soft Tails Springer. We know somebody out there.

SPEAKER_03 37:31

That's my second favorite bike. I always like the Springer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:34

So so does apparently uh Dave Ackerman over at Tobacco Motorware. And he has like four of them.

SPEAKER_03 37:40

Oh, yeah. I like that Springer for an end. It was always cool looking.

SPEAKER_02 37:44

Yeah. They're pricey. They're pricey. But uh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:48

They stopped making them what year?

SPEAKER_02 37:51

I can't remember how many years they ran that.

SPEAKER_03 37:54

I think that that was that that's probably.

SPEAKER_05 37:58

Like 2013 or something like that.

SPEAKER_03 38:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 38:04

Yeah, they didn't have a lot of things. It's the crossbones. They made a crossbones.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

Right.

SPEAKER_05 38:08

Oh, that's right. I remember that. Like 20, I think it was like 2013.

unknown 38:13

Something like that.

SPEAKER_01 38:14

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:16

Next, we got the 2018 Softail Deluxe. Right. Nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:21

That's the other one. I love that bike. That's a nice bike. That's a good looking bike, man. We already went over that.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

And next, the Lowrider ST. I've had the chance to ride this. I didn't care for it.

SPEAKER_03 38:33

What about it? Matt and Lex had had those bikes.

SPEAKER_02 38:36

They had the lowrider ST?

SPEAKER_03 38:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:38

What I didn't care for. Now I I'm a lanky, tall, lanky dude, right? And I got the I got long legs. So like when I sat on this thing, I felt that my legs were my knees were above the tank. So if you know, if you're a tall dude, you might have to reconfigure the foot controls to make it a little more comfortable.

SPEAKER_05 38:56

Well, because they have a mid-control on it, but they they sit like a little bit higher, so you can ride it marked in the city. Exactly. You think it's geared more towards women?

SPEAKER_02 39:03

No, no, I don't think it's that. You know, I think it's just that the way it's uh it's it's more of a performance bike. Yeah, that's why they have the the pegs like they do. I mean, if you were to throw forward controls on it, it might be a little better, or put floorboards on it, but then it kind of defeats the purpose of the ST.

SPEAKER_03 39:21

Yeah, it was a high bike.

SPEAKER_02 39:22

Yeah, it is. And it, like I said, for me, I was I was uncomfortable on it because of the way I had to sit on it. But uh our friend Chris Connolly, who is doing the challenge and a couple other things, he that he that's what he does. That's what he has this bike. And he's been doing the motorcycle podcasters challenge on his low rider ST. Next bike over is the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST. This is a nice bike. I've ridden this one.

SPEAKER_01 39:51

It's pretty looking. It's a nice bike. It's a shitty picture.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

It's a shitty picture, but it is a nice bike. It's uh you know, it's getting that that about the road glide, Chris. We had this conversation once before. Uh that front fairing, it's that's hard to get used to.

SPEAKER_03 40:07

I never liked this bike. Yeah, when I test rode it, it that's the one thing that bothered me. It was just it felt like a big car fairing, you know, like a dashboard in front of me.

SPEAKER_02 40:15

Well, I think it's because it's way out there. Yeah. It's way out in front of you. But I I don't, it's I I think it's the it's a it's a big certainly is a bigger fairing than the uh streak glide. It's probably one of the things that's gonna be a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 40:28

Yeah, way bigger, because I I like the street glide. I thought the streak glide was cool. I thought the road glide, I thought that fairing was just gigantic.

SPEAKER_02 40:34

But I gotta tell you, the stability of the bike on the road with that fairing like that is great because you don't feel it's kind of like that, it's got that scooter thing going on where your bike's facing forward and you're turning and it's still facing forward. So it's kind of goofy. And finally, the uh 2025 Street Glide Ultra.

SPEAKER_03 40:53

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 40:54

That is a big bike.

SPEAKER_03 40:58

But see, look at the fairing on it. See how much smaller that is than the road, the road glide?

SPEAKER_01 41:02

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_04 41:03

How is that any different than a uh an electroglide?

SPEAKER_02 41:09

It's it's not, it's the same bike with a different name, that's all.

SPEAKER_04 41:13

I I don't know. If you showed me electroglide right next to that, it would look the same to me.

SPEAKER_05 41:17

Because it is, it's not it it is it's it's an electroglide.

SPEAKER_02 41:23

When did they stop calling when did they stop using the name Electroglide? I don't remember. I think it was like 2020.

SPEAKER_05 41:31

What it was was there was the Electroglide Limited and there's the Electroglide Ultra.

SPEAKER_01 41:36

Right.

SPEAKER_05 41:36

And then they just started calling it either the Ultra or the Limited. Or the Limited.

unknown 41:43

Right.

SPEAKER_02 41:44

But it's Ultra Glide. It's Electroglide, that's what that's where it's. But now actually now it's just Street Glide, yeah. They just call it the Street Glide Ultra, and that's it. But it's it's the Electroglide. So there you go, there's that.

SPEAKER_04 41:55

So what is that all they're calling the electric light now? They're just calling them uh limited and uh Yeah. Really? That's all they call them.

SPEAKER_05 42:04

It was basically just indicative of what package it had. Trim package.

unknown 42:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:10

They used to call it the full dresser. Maybe they could get a full dresser.

SPEAKER_02 42:13

Yeah, back in the day, man. That's what they call the it's a dresser, man. It's totally a dresser. Let's go back to the uh let's go back to the let's see what's happening on Main Street in Sturgis again.

SPEAKER_03 42:31

Well, it's funny, somebody the younger generation, I've actually heard it to this day. Those full dressers, they the younger generation, some of them, not all, but I've heard some of the younger generation call it an old man bike.

SPEAKER_02 42:44

Well, yeah, of course. Of course you're gonna you're gonna have that.

SPEAKER_05 42:48

Yeah, until they ride one.

SPEAKER_02 42:50

Until they ride one, then they go, you know, because everybody gets that, everybody's gonna get to that point. Anybody who rides a sport bike, anybody who rides a wood, they're all gonna get to that point. They're gonna say, I need something a little more comfortable. My back, whatever, my legs, my arm, my elbow, whatever. And you're gonna find yourself on a cruiser, and then then then everybody's gonna be laughing at you, and you're gonna just go, shut up.

SPEAKER_04 43:09

So it's an old man bike only because they they couldn't handle it. Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of people there.

SPEAKER_02 43:15

Well, uh, right now it is it's uh they're they're two hours behind, so it's it's 628. Everybody's eating dinner, everybody's chilling, everybody's back at their campsites, probably recovering from the shitty weather they've been having. Um I don't know if you heard Chris, but they've been having extremely bizarre weather out there.

SPEAKER_03 43:34

They had Yeah I saw a video with the hail of uh the hail. Yeah. The guy standing underneath the tree and Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 43:42

Just to give you an idea, the hail was about a half inch in diameter.

SPEAKER_03 43:46

Yeah, it looked big. Not good for your bike.

SPEAKER_02 43:48

Not good for you.

SPEAKER_03 43:52

Wonder how many people's bikes got dented to I bet you a lot.

SPEAKER_02 43:55

I bet you a lot of 'em. You know, you we're talking about a a piece of ice. Like a half inch in diameter, or even a quarter, even a three-eighth in diameter. Sla coming coming down at you, falling at terminal velocity, and slamming you into. I'll tell you something. That frickin' hurts. I bet. That hurts. When I rode out to Sturgis in 23, I hit a hail storm in Nebraska. And let me tell you, that wasn't fun.

SPEAKER_03 44:23

It's pretty chilly out there. I see dudes wearing sweatshirts.

SPEAKER_02 44:26

Well, they are at altitude out there. They're a little higher up. And like I said, it's been cool. It's been a little cool out there. I mean, they're getting hail. Come on. So. Oh my god. But yeah. It's nice thing. This is the 86th. So uh we'll be at we'll we'll be at the 87th, right?

SPEAKER_03 44:48

Let's do our podcast right in the center of that intersection.

SPEAKER_02 44:50

Right there, right then the intersection.

SPEAKER_03 44:52

Right in the center.

SPEAKER_02 44:53

That'd be cool, man, if we could do that. If we could all go to Sturgis and do a podcast from Sturgis, that would be so freaking cool.

SPEAKER_05 45:00

I would be so distracted.

SPEAKER_02 45:04

Why would why would that be?

SPEAKER_03 45:10

See that? See that green stop thing right there? Where the the guy right there? That's we should do the podcast right there.

unknown 45:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:20

Right there. Yeah, we're right in the middle of the road. Sure. Why not?

SPEAKER_05 45:25

That lady roller skate and just got yelled up by that cop.

SPEAKER_02 45:28

Did she really?

SPEAKER_05 45:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:30

Get out of the road! Probably. I don't know. Yeah, you see you see a lot of cool stuff there, that's for sure. See the fun stuff like that. They're right there. You gotta look at that. There's a V uh V6 motorcycle right there.

SPEAKER_03 45:52

That was a Honda uh the Gold Wing right there. Gold wing that went through.

SPEAKER_02 45:58

It's like 90% Harley's. Yeah. See, this is the this is the the east end of the street.

SPEAKER_03 46:07

That bike, uh that bike right there behind that, that looks like a Triumph uh that six uh V6 that they got. That six-cylinder bike.

SPEAKER_00 46:18

Oh, I don't know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:21

That looks like a Detroit six-cylinder.

SPEAKER_05 46:27

Justin, is that where is that where you went? Were you were you uh were you grabbing a couple uh burgers and and beers at the fireside lounge?

SPEAKER_02 46:37

No, dude. Man, you know what? Let me tell you something. You know, you go you go to Sturgis, and if you if you if your plan is to eat in town, you better bring some cash with you, man. You better bring some bucks. It's fucking expensive, dude. Way expensive. I mean, I I seen one vendor on the street was selling a burger, uh, a cheeseburger and a Coke for 20 bucks.

SPEAKER_03 47:05

So it's like you go into the Meadowlands and watch football.

SPEAKER_02 47:07

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. It's it's really it's great.

SPEAKER_05 47:11

They know they got a captive audience.

SPEAKER_02 47:12

Oh, yeah, absolutely. And you know what? They get it. They they do get it. They make their money. But at the same time, they got to sell a lot because the town of Sturgis charges them taxes on everything they sell. Plus, the town also charges them for the space they're renting. There goes the Dolic right there.

SPEAKER_03 47:36

Look at the stupid beach bars he had on it. Oh my god. That's a nice colour right there. Yeah, I like that.

SPEAKER_02 47:43

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:44

Sharp looking. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 47:46

So anyway, moving on to the next topic, we have the Lex and Finals topic. We're gonna go into the most underrated Harley Davidson.

SPEAKER_01 47:56

We're gonna get into that.

SPEAKER_02 48:00

Anyway. Bullshit. Bullshit, sure. We're also gonna there's something else we're gonna talk about too. Most under ten ten most underrated Harleys ever built. Starting up XR twelve hundred. So it makes two lists.

SPEAKER_03 48:23

The wheels on it really, really hurt that bike.

SPEAKER_02 48:25

It looked too small. Exactly. They cast wheels, you know. I don't know. So it makes it makes the wow, that's funny. I still got the feed going up. Some guy goes by and he has a uh looks like he had a Tupperware case on his back for his top box. Anyway, um, yeah, so this bike made the ugliest list and the most underrated list.

SPEAKER_04 48:49

How is that? I still think that's not the AMF, is it?

SPEAKER_02 48:53

No, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 48:54

I guarantee, I guarantee you the fat boy will be on this list. Guaranteed.

SPEAKER_02 48:58

I don't know about that. I don't know. I haven't live and looked through it. It might be, you never know. Uh the Super Glide Sport. The FXDX. Bland. 1999 to 2005. I was never a fan of, and I'm gonna get some hate from this, but I was never a fan of the Dyna line. Just wasn't.

SPEAKER_04 49:21

Very plain looking.

SPEAKER_02 49:22

No, I just felt that they were just larger sportsters. Excuse me, but that's what I that's what I felt.

SPEAKER_05 49:29

So well, they're basically they are.

SPEAKER_02 49:31

Yeah, so uh next we got the Rogue Road King Custom, the F L H R S. I couldn't say that. Um headlight. I don't know. It ain't that bad. Sorry. It's all right. It's alright. I don't like the two to one exhaust. Never care for it. Uh the V-Rod muscle. I disagree with that. I don't know. Actually, I kind of do agree with this. This it is kind of underrated. Uh, I had the chance to ride one of these up at uh Americaid one year we went. It was uh a cool ass bike. I just it's got it had this great rumble to it. It just had a it just had this hot rod sound to it. It was really cool. I liked it. It's definitely underrated, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_03 50:20

Next, another bike they don't make.

SPEAKER_02 50:22

The Heritage Soft Hell Classic. Underrated? Do you agree that's would you say I don't I don't know that it's underrated.

SPEAKER_03 50:29

It's not underrated. I mean, I like the bike. I think it's a particular uh paint scheme. I'm not a fan of it.

SPEAKER_02 50:35

No, I don't like that. I'm not a fan of the denim paint. Not a fan of the pink. In fact, that new color they have, that that turquoise and black is gorgeous, man. Wow, gorgeous bike. But that's the number on the bike. Yeah. Uh the street rod. This is a V-rod version that they made into a with the taller, it's got taller. It is very bizarre. It had uh, you know, it was taller, uh, taller seat, upgraded suspension for sharper tier steering geometry. I I didn't care for it personally, but I, you know, was it underrated? I don't know. I don't know. The Dyna switchback. Never I didn't I never cared for this one. I mostly because I don't care for the wheels. Kind of like these mag wheels kind of a thing.

SPEAKER_03 51:27

I never they're kind of ugly.

SPEAKER_02 51:29

They are kind of ugly. So this should have made the ugly list, probably.

SPEAKER_03 51:32

The bike looks like it wants to be a heritage and a fat boy and a uh classic and uh Yeah, it's because it's got the freight train headlight and it's got these weird wants to be all these kind of different bikes.

SPEAKER_05 51:44

Well, it allowed you to it allowed that's exactly that was exactly the point. So you you could take the windshield and the saddlebags on very on and off. They're all quick release, so you could basically have two different bikes.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Yeah, I suppose. I suppose. I know uh I knew a guy who had a switchback, and he had he ended up getting rid of it after a crash, but yeah. Uh the night rod special. Dudes, this bike was badass. I had a chance to ride this up at the American. It's called a V-Rod. It is a V-Rod, but it's called the Night Rod Special because they blacked it out completely and they put the different exhaust on it and uh different tail fin on there. Man, this bike was badass. I really like this one. It was great. I really liked the bike. Very zoomy, I'll tell you that. That's for sure.

SPEAKER_03 52:33

Wasn't that their fastest production bike?

SPEAKER_02 52:35

Hmm. Possibly. And the Super Low, the Sportster Superlow. I didn't care for it. It looks cute. It it it was it was very low. They had the slam suspension in the back.

SPEAKER_05 52:50

I sold a ton of those.

SPEAKER_02 52:52

Yeah, that's probably why.

SPEAKER_03 52:53

This is not popular because it looks cute.

SPEAKER_02 52:55

You did sell a lot of these, did you? Yeah, wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 53:01

Looks like a squat bike.

SPEAKER_02 53:02

Yeah. Like a squat bike up.

SPEAKER_03 53:05

Looks like somebody put it in a uh uh uh uh car crusher and shortened it up a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 53:10

Like somebody sat fat fat on the back of the electric glide standard.

SPEAKER_02 53:16

You're talking about the electriclide. There you go. The standard that was like uh like four glide, four or five years ago, right?

SPEAKER_06 53:22

Three glide.

SPEAKER_02 53:23

Yeah. Yeah, underrated, okay. And that's it. That was the entire list. So there you go.

SPEAKER_04 53:32

Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 53:33

I don't know about that, but you know, it was just something to share with you guys. I thought you would find it in enjoying and interesting.

SPEAKER_05 54:06

And uh I told him I was going down to Daytona, and he was like, my brother has a restaurant down there in Ormond Beach. He was like, he used to own a restaurant. He owned a restaur an Italian restaurant in New Jersey for the longest time. He's like when he moved to Florida, he opened up a restaurant down there, and so he was like, go see him. And we went down there and we saw him, and the food tasted just like it would have tasted up here. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 59:43

See? You can find it, but you know what? I mean, we found there's a pizza place down here by us, and the guy is from Jersey, and that's Joey's, right?

SPEAKER_04 59:53

Yeah, but it's still not as good as it's I mean, it's not gonna be perfect.

SPEAKER_02 59:56

And the soil too. What kind of bike is that one?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:32

That's an Indian right there, the blue one? Yeah, that's an Indian. How many bars do you think are on Main Street? All of them. Yeah. All of them. That's a good question. Like, let me just let's just ask the question and see if we can get a decent answer. All right. So, how many uh bars are on Main Street in Sturgis? Uh Seth the car. Oh, what's what's your guess? What's your guess? Let's take your guesses.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:05

I'm gonna say 74.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:06

74?

unknown 1:01:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:09

Justin, what do you think?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:11

I'm gonna say eight.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:12

You're gonna say eight.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:14

All right, fuck. I was gonna say eight, so now I feel like I gotta say something else. Uh 12.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:22

12. Okay. I'm gonna say there is 16. And the answer is uh hang on. Let's crawl it up. Here we go. Oh, there are about six to eight bars directly on or immediately adjacent to Main Street. Depending on how you count brew pubs and all that stuff like that. Six to eight.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:41

That's it.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:43

Two, two, three, four, five. Yeah, I guarantee you they're all packed. Iron Horse Saloon, uh, Knuckle Brewing Company, the Knuckle Saloon, uh, Loud American Roadhouse, Whiskey Tango, Foxtrot, uh, Oasis Bar, which is right across, we just saw that one. One-eyed Jacks, the Dungeon Bar and Gentleman's Club. That's what's on Main Street. But uh, if you go off of Main Street, uh what the hell's the name of that other street? It's got a really bizarre name. Um, how about this? Okay, let's let's ask this question. That's a better question. How many bars are in South Dakota? In not South Dakota, in Sturgis.

unknown 1:02:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:22

How many?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:23

Well, now is full throttle going to be considered a bar?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:27

I would say so, right? It's good. It got a shit ton of bars inside of it.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:31

Maybe.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:32

Is that one bar?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:33

I don't know, that's the whole thing. It's like that one, what's the other one?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:38

Well, the Buffalo Chip?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:39

Yeah, Buffalo.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:40

It's not well, see, those are full throttle and buffalo chip, they're campgrounds. But they do have bars there. So I don't know if you can even count them.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:47

And that's where they have the really big bands.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:49

That's where everything, yeah, at full throttle and at uh Buffalo Chip. All right, so how many bars do you think are in uh Sturgis? Not just mainstream, but in Sturgis. 25. 25. Okay. Justin, what do you think?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:06

16.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:07

16. Uh, Chris, what do you think?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:09

I'm going back on my 74. 74.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:12

Hey, the correct answer is, let's see, how many bars are in Sturgis, South Dakota? Uh No, this doesn't sound right. Sturgis has about six to ten year-round bars.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:27

During the rally, maybe word at total bars.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:31

Okay, during the rally, the number of bars explodes to 30 plus.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:37

So I went. Wow. I went closer to my number.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:41

Rally season total 30 plus, and that varies depending upon uh the temporary bars, the outdoor beer gardens, the concert venue bars, the vendor-run pop-up bars, and multi-bar complexes. Iron horse, full throttle, one-eye jacks. So, yeah. So you uh how many of those have you been to, Sturge, uh, Justin? I'm sure you've been to quite a few.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:02

I mean, nowhere near 30 of them. Uh I'm sure. I mean deeper closed. I'm sure I dark. I'm sure I darkened the doorway of a good handful of them.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:15

I can honestly say I uh while I was there, I I I'll count full throttle and uh buffalo chip. So I'll count those two. And so three, four. I went into went into five, but I didn't have it, and I didn't have any drinks. I was just in here to hear and listen to the music. So but yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:37

Well we could drink it twice, dude. Justin.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:42

Yes. Just beer. Yes. It doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:52

Shots, beers, you name it.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:55

Actually. See that street right down there where it says Sturgis Salutes America? Yeah. You make a left turn at that street, and Dave is right there on the right hand side. You can't see him? I can't see him. No. I wonder if there's a camera down there. Uh I don't know. I can look up webcams and uh and Sturgis and see what we can find. Webcams, web games, no webcams and Sturgis. Okay, let's see. Uh we got a view from Hotel Sturgis. We got the view from Junction in Maine. We've got a view from Main Street. Oh, live. Here we go. Let's see if we can get this one going.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:19

What's that? Did I that come out loud? I don't mean I think you did. Uh no, they could be scary too, because I see some of these women here that I don't want to.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:32

Yeah, right there.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:33

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:34

Yeah. Uh you know what? And and I you know, just because clothing companies sell things like fishnet stockings and and tight leather pants and things like that, just some people just should not be wearing that shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:50

Well, no, they shouldn't be making it certain sizes. Well, you know, over a size six, you gotta stop it.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:56

Yeah, there's a certain size where you just like, look, no. And you know, there's a certain age we don't have to be. I can't look. Granted, there are some people in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s who look really freaking great. They look they look good.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:11

Yeah, but it's the people that don't look good.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:13

It's the people that don't look good. Let's face it, kids. When you get older, things start to get saggy. Like I'd be the first to admit it. Things start to get saggy, and it's just some shit you just don't want to see, man. It's like it's like it's certainly not in fishnet stockings or you know, leather pants and garter belts. Come on.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:30

I mean, you're getting you're getting to the side the the the size where your one tit is as big as Mike Warso at the back. That's mad. I I don't want to see that. You know, you wouldn't we don't want to see I could just put a nipple on my gut and just let it take a picture back and that would be funny.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:53

I think you should do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:55

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:58

Why you no as friends?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:04

Oh well, anyway. Uh getting back to podcast stuff. Hey, if you want to support the podcast, I don't know why, but if you did, uh just go to our bias of coffee site and it's on the website. Just go go go to modomnpc.com and there's a bias of coffee thing. And sign up on our mailing list, and you'll you'll get to learn about what's going on like 10 seconds before everybody else. So it's it's it's a good thing. And um has anybody ever bought us the coffee? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've gotten a few. We've gotten a few.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:34

Um and it it don't like us that much.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:36

They don't like us that much. I mean, it's it's enough that, you know, like if if anybody does donate, which is great, it's not required, but it's appreciated, you know, and and it goes to help keep the lights on. I know some people would like the lights to go off, but you know, uh it it does help, you know, keep the lights on, keep the podcast running. And uh so yeah, I I certainly appreciate it. There's Ed's trailer.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:59

How did you get your trailer over there so fast?

SPEAKER_02 1:16:02

Uh you know what, man?

SPEAKER_03 1:16:04

Um that's a big that's a big nice one, too. Oh shit. Look at that on the bugger.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:08

Those things, you know, the fifth wheels are really nice, but they're just I just they're just so freaking big, man. I don't know. They're just so big. Okay. And when I see those things going down the highway, I think, man, oh man, I just like you know, you get a big gust of wind and that thing's falling over.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:25

That's what that's a lot I can say. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:28

But we'll see what happens when I go next year with my trailer. You heard that.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:34

We know you're going.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:36

I just don't know about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:38

But you don't know, Justin, is we're all gonna go.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:40

Yeah, we're all gonna go. That's it. I just don't know about getting the bike there. That's that's that's that's the hard part.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:47

Put it inside your trailer.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:49

Can't can't get the bike inside the trailer. Yeah. I can I could uh I could put the sports turn in the back of my truck and then go that way. I could do that. But I'd rather bring the of course I would rather bring the heritage with me or my new V-Rod when I get it. Just a torment, Justin.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:12

Um what's on that big platform they're all getting on top of it.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:16

That's just an uh it's just an observation thing where you can go up there, take pictures of see Main Street from all directions. That's all it is. That's all. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty cool, man. It's it's an interesting thing. It's it's a great experience. Um you know, again, if if I've gone there twice by myself, so it's a little different. You know, you can't uh uh you know, you're by yourself. It's it's a little different. But you know, if I was to go with a group of people, maybe, you know, I don't know, maybe people on my podcast. I don't know if that would ever happen. You know, that that'd be cool. You know, we could have some fun. But uh uh yeah, I think it's it's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:55

I'm flying out.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:56

There's an airport right there in Rapid City. Yeah, there you go. And um a lot of guys who don't feel like driving or don't feel like uh towing or whatever, they'll they'll ship their bikes out. And because I've seen that. There's plenty of companies out there that ship the bike out, and they they all show up on a uh in fact, there's a company right in Sturgis that will ship your bike from there to wherever. But uh they ship their bike out to to Sturgis and then they'll fly in and then just take an Uber to wherever their bike is.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:29

And did you ever get a price on how much that is?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:32

No, I never did. I know it's something I never never looked into, never considered.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:36

So um isn't that would wouldn't that be podcast material?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:41

Possibly. How much would it cost to ship a motorcycle to Sturgis? Um let's say. Oh, it's a second New Jersey. New Jersey. Uh $379. Not bad. Not horrible.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:06

Is that one way or two ways?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:10

I don't know. Doesn't really say.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:13

That's gotta be one way only. Because I I deal with shipping every day.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:17

How it works here is how's step one. Order and quit booking, vehicle pickup, vehicle arrival. You know, okay. We pick up your vehicle. Uh they deliver. I don't know. That's all they say. Calculate cost. Uh motorcycle shipping? We're gonna say, we're gonna check it out right now.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:38

Uh well, there are companies that specifically do that. I remember when I was just in Cramford and I was delivering mail, I saw a big long truck, and it had like 20 bikes on it.

unknown 1:19:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:50

And he was picking up bikes for people and bringing them to the sturgeons.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:55

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:56

So much for that. I'll find out. We'll see how much it goes. I like it. And I don't like that, like you said, I don't think that's round trip. I think that's probably just one way.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:05

But even I still don't think that's a lot of money either.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:08

I don't think I don't know. Maybe it is round trip. Who knows? I have no idea. Maybe it is. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:11

It's probably gonna be cheaper than driving it out there yourself. Um well when I rode. You probably set that much in gas.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:21

Uh I spent when I rode out, I spent the first year when I rode out, I spent uh $750 on no, I take that back. I spent $500 on gas. Plus or minus a couple dollars. Round trip? Uh round trip, $500 on fuel when I rode out. But I also took uh hotels each night, so I don't even count that. But it cost me like $500 to ride out and ride back. So I don't know. And when I trailered the bike, it cost me a little over $750 in fuel. Of course, the truck truck uses more gas, obviously. And all that. So uh hey, uh, check out the Ride with Ted YouTube channel and all the videos I got going on there. A new one's gonna be posting very soon, so uh check that out. And uh that's pretty much it.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:13
