Episode 012: Chat with Justin Edson from Jedz Moto

05/31/19 • 85 min

In this episode I have a really cool chat with Justin Edson who I have come to know as a fellow listener of some other podcasts that we share an interest in. It is Justin's attitude towards life and his extensive experience riding and wrenching on motorcycles that gave me the idea to have him on as a guest of the show. We talk a little bit about Jack Daley, a great friend and riding buddy of Justin's, who unfortunately passed away a couple months ago, and we discuss why Jack was such an important part of Justin's life. In honor of Jack, we share a toast to him, and we dedicate this episode to his memory and legacy. We also talk about the 46 different motorcycles that Justin has owned and wrenched on over the years, and how his mission to help make great running, reliable and inexpensive used motorcycles available to new and experienced riders led to the formation of Jedz Moto. We also get into the ways in which motorcycling can be very fulfilling to the human soul and the fact that there seems to be a spiritual side to this amazing sport and hobby that we share and love. We end off discussing some tips for new motorcycle riders and things they can do to be successful and fulfilled motorcyclists.

Episode 013: Fireside Chat with DanDanTheFireman

In this episode, DanDanTheFireman and I have a nice chat and get down to the nitty-gritty of motorcycle safety and the importance of training and wearing proper gear to reduce the inherent risks associated with motorcycling. Having worked as an EMT for a little over 10 years, Daniel has seen it all when it comes to traffic accidents, in particular related to motorcycles. His passion is educating motorcyclists, especially beginning riders, on the things they can do to get better informed and better trained about motorcycling, to increase their chances of having a safe and rewarding future as a motorcyclist. DanDanTheFireman has over 92,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, and is close to having 400 Patreon subscribers. So obviosuly there are a lot of people intersted in what he has to say! We talk about his experiences as an EMT, and the weekly live videos he does to analyze motorcycle accident videos for his listeners, so they can become more skilled at understanding motorcycle accident dynamics and how they can avoid accidents, and if necessary minimize the risks if they are involved in one. We also talk about the Accident Scene Management Course that Gina and I did two years ago and how that has made us more aware of accident risks, and more importantly what we can do to help save lives if we ever witness an accident. We also talk about Daniel's new Indian FTR 1200 and how Fast Eddie's Motojitsu motorcycle exercise program is helping both of us become better riders.
