Motorcycle design is real
Throttle and Roast - Motorcycle Podcast
04/28/25 • 15 min
In this episode of the Throttle and Roast podcast, Niels Meersschaert delves into the multifaceted concept of motorcycle design. Unlike the matrix, it’s not a simulation, but motorcycle design is real. We can touch it, see it, feel it. Niels discusses how design transforms ideas into tangible forms, emphasizing that motorcycles are not just visual objects but also involve ergonomics, sound, and the overall riding experience. Unlike two-dimensional art, motorcycles offer a three-dimensional experience where various design elements can be appreciated from different perspectives. Niels highlights the significance of exposed engine designs and how they enhance the character of different brands, ultimately celebrating the unique experience of riding motorcycles in a world dominated by more antiseptic vehicle designs.

Jochen Zeitz's five-year tenure wraps up
Throttle and Roast - Motorcycle Podcast
05/12/25 • 22 min
Jochen Zeitz stepped down as CEO of Harley-Davidson after five years, having transitioned the company’s focus from expanding its demographic to catering to its traditional, older customer base. Originally joining the board in 2007, Zeitz took over as CEO in 2020 during the pandemic, implementing a strategy called "Rewire." This plan prioritized high-end touring bikes and cut back on lower-cost models and youth-targeted innovations, such as the Livewire electric motorcycle, which was spun off as a separate brand. While Harley had a strong market presence in 2019, Zeitz's tenure raises questions about the long-term sustainability of his approach in a rapidly changing motorcycle market.
