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.

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?

In this rousing episode, we start with a segment called Fight Me! The Misfits take turns making declarative statements, and then challenge everyone to fight them if they disagree. There's a good chance you may be arguing back at your listening device, so send us your comments in an email.
Next up we review a bunch of items Liza bought on Ali Express. Not all of them are great, but some are pretty good and may get your attention. The interesting takeaway from this segment is that you don't always find the best deal on AliExpress, and that you may be buying the same item from someone else for a much higher price.
