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.

The One Motorcycle Show is the best show in the world. There, I said it. And I truly believe that, which is why you will find me there every year, absorbing the vibe and conducting interviews. This year I roped stunt Misfit Wendy Crockett into joining me for her first time. She shares her observations while helping with interviews, but also managed to become part of the story herself. We had a great time, met so many people, were greeted by so many listeners, saw so many things, and came through waiting for the announcement for next year's event. Thanks to Doug and Jason for tagging along and helping us find the stories.

We are back from the Misfits Rally and have stories to tell. We had an amazing time, and want to thank everyone who attended and made it so much fun.
Motorcycle industry veteran Michael Uhlarik joins us to talk about current state of the dealerships and manufacturers. A lot of changes have happened in the past couple decades, making it harder and harder to make a profit selling motorcycles. We learn that the USA is only 1% of the global market share, and with some of the highest standards, make it hard for manufacturers to bring their bikes here. And the dealerships are struggling with rising rents and insurance costs, making it even harder to make a profit. So what's the answer? What does the motorcycle dealership industry look like in the future? What is going to save it? Let us know what you think.
