Episode 059: The "Shiny Side Up" with Andrew Goodman

10/07/20 • 78 min

This episode is an awesome chat with motorcyclist Andrew Goodman about his new book "Shiny Side Up - From First Ride to Fast Rider." Andrew started riding motorcycles in his early twenties. Finding a more effective way to commute through rush hour London traffic was the excuse, but in learning to ride he fulfilled a lifelong goal. He hit the ground running and got hold of anything and everything he could find to help him understand his strange and beguiling new hobby, and a more experienced mentor to show him the ropes. Ever since he can remember, Andrew has been fascinated with how things work. He eventually became a chartered mechanical engineer and has applied his knowledge of engineering and physics to his riding progression; whether servicing bikes, commuting, or track riding. So, join us as Andrew and I talk about all things motorcycle!

Episode 060: Scott Rybarik - Rider, Writer, Racer & Instructor

This episode is a great discussion with Scott Rybarik. Scott works to support the expansion of the sport of motorcycling in more ways than I can count...including as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School. As Scott says in his bio, "the motorcycling community has become an extension of my family, and I want to help others become better, safer and faster riders." Scott and I talk about lots of topics related to motorcycles and motorcycling, including community, running clubs, managing risk and performance, how people learn new skills, taking kids racing, the lessons of motorcycling that relate to other parts of life, modern motorcycle electronics and tires and are they too good, and much, much more.
