October 9, 2011
James tells us about his new top case, finally delivered and installed by Triumph, and how it brings a completeness and whole-life synergy to his commuting and luggage-using lifestyle. (don’t mind me, I’ve been in a lot of marketing meetings lately)

The guys discuss the local weather lately, and how the strange yellow ball in the sky has finally returned to rain down its lovely light upon us all (or some wacky stuff like that), infusing us all with positive energy, and bringing forth new ways of looking at the sky as a metaphor for life. (somebody stop me)

James also talks about the limits of the Teiz Commute suit in the weather, and then gives us all some information on a few of the farkles he’s added to his bike and smart phone, bringing synergy and convergence to…. ya know, I just don’t really know how to complete that sentence without it sounding like a marketing slogan from some non-descript “business consulting firm” that never really explains what they do and charges you $550 per hour for the convenience of that lack of understanding.

So we’re not going to do that.

Because we can’t charge you.

The guys also talk about the new Honda cross-genre bike being developed for the world market. Since the new machine is named after one of the Acura car models, and Honda being a division of the Honda corporation, we see that synergy taking shape in the form of… wait, sorry… I’m doing it again.

Yamaha cements their place in the 2012 US motorcycle marketplace by redefining market expectations with its strong commitment to legacy and the common paradigm, while envisioning a new tomorrow with… DAMN IT! Stop it. Yeah, Yamaha announces the 2012 models.

Links, in synergistic symbiosis with the digital… STOP IT!!!

Ep 55 for Dec 5th, 2010
Happy Holidays!!!

With a visit and a little help from Prubert Claus, James & I bring you some selections from our Holiday Gift List. We highlight some things that we have and can recommend, as well as make some suggestions that we… er… your loved ones would like to see under the tree. With our… uh… the listeners’ best interests in mind, we try to offer some suggestions that span the range of usefulness and silly, and at all the typical price points. Just for the record, I’m going to need tires by spring and I’m thinking a nice set of Pilot Road 2s in your standard 120/180 pairing would be great. Ya know… as an example.

We also bring you some suggestions from the listeners by way of email and voice mail, and Prubert weighs in with some great additional ideas.

  • Glen Allison suggests heated gear. Any heated gear.
    • “No matter what it is, my wife bought me a heated jacket and it’s the greatest gift ever (rivals the birth of my son) I vote any heated gear.”

James Pinlock – $40 Pinlock Inserts – $27 – $32 Lee Parks Deer Tour Gloves – $85 White Horse Gear “Winter Sucks” mug – $10 Sunglasses with interchangeable lenses – $30 and up Geotagging app for smartphone – $1 – $10 Geotagging Data Logger – $54 National Park Pass – $80 Thermos – $20 – $35 Chris: do-rags. They really can help increase in-helmet comfort. Go/No-Go feeler gauges for valve checks MSR fuel bottle Tour Master deerskin touring gloves. I use these all summer and down to about 50-degrees. Flexible, comfortable and maintain good tactile feel. Tinted or smoked face shield for your love one’s favorite helmet. Motorcycle cover. While it’s not something many riders buy for themselves, it’s still a “nice to have” product. Joe Rocket Atomic 4.0 all-season jacket. This is proving to be a very versatile, well-designed all-season jacket. Garage door opener with remote. Seems such a simple thing, but can really make the end of a ride a “welcome home” kind of thing. TIRES! Find out what tires and sizes your loved one uses and order a spare set to keep on hand. Amazon Kindle for off-bike reading on the road Garmin Zumo (or similar) GPS with Bluetooth and MP3. I use this for audio entertainment, GPS (of course) and for screening incoming calls before deciding to pull over and talk or return the call. It’s been a great piece of gear. Fold up bike trailer, inexpensive ones from Harbor Freight, or more upscale units from Kendon, etc.. If your loved one does track days or likes the idea of taking a bike along on family trips, this could make all the difference.
