We can't help you with the leaks but we can off some direction from a couple of pros. We also have a guy that is putting out a comic book that has to do with choppers on this show as well as our usual cast of characters. This is ' The Detailing Show '. Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:24:06 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_37_the_detailing_show.mp3 After looking at the ads in magazines and seeing the numbers are down all over the bike industry it was time to have a look at Canadian Builders. Do they suffer from a downturn in the U.S.? Some builders you have heard of and others you have not BUT the idea is to give insight into how the whole business is changing in the recent past and how people are making out in The Great White North. Why? Why not? This is ' The Canadian Show '. Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:13:39 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_36_the_canadian_show.mp3 As we look at all things cool on bikes we can't pass up the chance to look at the sidecar. Now, some may say there is nothing cool about the sidecar no matter what you do to it and that's fine by us. I personally think skulls are overdone and would prefer not having them associated with my bike or clothing and others can't get enough. Whatever. Today we talk sidecars and more than that, we learn a little about the people that sell them and use them. We think this show is very relevant and more than that, entertaining. This is ' The Sidecar Show '. Fri, 4 Jul 2008 23:58:37 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_35_the_side_car_show.mp3 Gas prices this summer are cutting into my beer money so something has to give. Where am I going to save a buck? I won't be staying in any fancy Motels on the side of the road. Hey... I HAVE to have BEER! I want a Biker Friendly place to stay and I want good gear so I know I will be dry and warm when I lay my head down for the night. I made some calls... found a couple of places to stay, a place to get outfitted and we talked to Kiwi Mike about a cool bike he just built for S&S. This the ' The Camp Show '. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:33:49 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_34_the_camp_show.mp3 As the summer continues we have little time for TV or sitting for anything except family and friends. Just the way it should be. We started to think about all the projects that people have started in the last year or so and wondered if those folks were facing brick walls because of lack of info or lack of confidence. We simply wanted to help with ideas for learning. While we were at it, we wanted Poker and Toy Run organizers to look at event safety a different way so we offer a resource for that too. This is ' The Resources Show '. Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:44:45 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_33_the_resources_show.mp3 Summer is really gearing up and with the " Attack of the Killer Tomatoes " in the U.S. and high gas prices, people don't know if they are going to get bent over the gas pump or bent over a toilet this season. We continue the " Summer Rally Series " and visit the U.K. for a wrap on the I.O.M. as well as bounce around the lower 48 to talk rallies and such with events happening this month and in August. This is " The Summer Rally Series - Show Number 3 ". Fri, 13 Jun 2008 23:54:06 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_32_the_summer_rally_series_3_friday_the_13th.mp3 As the summer starts to heat up, more and more people head out to ride and knocking on doors during the height of vacation season isn't the problem... getting an answer is. We at Bike Radio Magazine present another in The Summer Rally Series so that you can get a handle on the events this summer and we can get excited people to talk about the cool stuff they are doing or presenting. This is 'The Summer Rally Series 2'. Fri, 06 Jun 2008 22:53:18 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_31_the_summer_rally_series_2.mp3 We can't talk ' Tech ' everyday. Before you throw something at me just think about this. It's summer time and summer is about riding to places and having a good time when we get time away from the job. Here are a few places to think about visiting. You may have plans to attend one of the shows mentioned or maybe you can plan a trip for next year. In the coming weeks of summer we will try to cover as many of these events as we can. If we can't be there we will talk to the people that will be and get you some inside information. Today we also talk to Vinnie DiMartino of V-Force Customs and Kiwi Mike. This is ' The Summer Rally Series '. Fri, 30 May 2008 18:30:59 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_30_the_summer_rally_series_1.mp3 While we go to bike nights and polish chrome and cruise the local 2 lane highways as our way of enjoying our bikes... another world exists. The road race world is something of a different animal to what most of us consider ' Biking '. For the last 101 years, The Isle of Man has hosted some of the best road race riders in the world. This week, Biker Radio Magazine talks to some folks involved with this very cool event. This is The 'Isle of Man' Show. Fri, 23 May 2008 21:47:08 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_29_the_iom_tt_show.mp3 One thing we all seem to overlook when designing a bike is simply the frame. What I mean is we look at parts like primary drives, forwards, bars, heads but we never really seem to look hard at the frame and without that... you have a pile of... parts. Today we talk about frames with some names you know and maybe one that you don't. We are also joined by 'Yosemite Sam' Radoff, a great guy and longtime pins striper as he shares some memories with us of people and the custom world. This is ' The Frame Show '. Fri, 16 May 2008 18:38:30 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_28_the_frame_show.mp3 Riding season is what makes most of us smile most. The four words you are most likely to hear during the riding season? " I didn't see you ". It's a fact of life if you ride. You will hear those very words and hopefully it will not be in court or as your are being loaded into an ambulance. Sound like we are being a little dramatic? Perhaps. This hour is dedicated to your half of the responsibility as a rider. It's not preaching. Some of this you know and there are a few sources in this show should you wish to look into the topic further. This is ' The Safety Show '. Fri, 09 May 2008 18:43:50 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_27_the_safety_show.mp3 It has been 26 weeks since Biker Radio Magazine started. We have all learned a few things along the way and we here hope that you have enjoyed things to this point. In the coming weeks you can expect regular guests to add a little something to the shows and I hope that you will also offer topic suggestions. It ain't about me or the staff here so send ideas. We won't be hurt. Keep in mind, not all ideas can be used. None will be ignored. Marking half a year and 26 hours of original programming this is The 'Best Of Show' part II. Fri, 02 May 2008 20:21:09 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_26_the_best_of_show_part_II.mp3 While kicking around some ideas with some friends a while back I thought that it would be cool to take a page from people on the other side of the Atlantic and maybe build something that is out of the normal way we think of powering a motorcycle. Diesel. We have 4 guests today and all of them bring something to the table to expand on the diesel powered bike. This is something to turn on in the shop and consider with an open mind even if you never ever build or buy this type of bike. This is ' The Diesel Show '. Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:17:38 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_25_the_diesel_show.mp3 Sitting down and talking about bikes is a great way to spend a little time especially if there is a little beer and a few burgers around. We passed on the beer on the afternoon that we had this chat. The guys that stopped by the Biker Radio Magazine weekend studio, had come from another country and staying sober was a better idea than driving home with a buzz. We do not endorse driving after consumption of any alcohol. This show is just chatting among friends. We recorded it so you could share our thoughts. This is ' The Round Table Show '. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:17:00 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_24_the_round_table_show.mp3 As we wander through the sport of motorcycling you have noticed a theme. There is no theme. Our attention span is short and anything related to bikes will distract us. We have wandered back to the motorcycle proper again and today we look at the greasier part of bikes.. Actually, just greasy bikes. Bikes with either no paint or flat black BBQ paint. Elegantly repulsive in their simplicity, this is The Rat Bike Show. Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:03:19 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_23_the_rat_bike_show.mp3 We move on to the finer points of adding a little flash to our fresh paint. If you have not used a pinstripe brush before and have no fear of making a mess, I am certain you will jump right in and draw some lines on that new coating of base/clear! I, on the other hand, am faint of heart and would never consider doing this without a couple more years with a brush in my hand. Today we have guests that offer things to consider when learning to pinstripe and we here a Biker Radio Magazine hope you take the time to get started with this art. This is ' The Paint and Pinstripe Show ' pt II. Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:49:30 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_22_the_paint_and_pinstripe_show_pt_II.mp3 I have tried to paint my own bikes a number of times. I found that my results were best viewed in the dark, with sunglasses, from a distance. This can be done at home, painting, I mean. You can do it with limited skills... way better than I ever can but this isn't about me. It's about you and your bike. Today's guests will offer tips on getting rolling with your own paint job if you a brave enough to try it. Next week, we give you tools to help finish your look off but for now, it's back to basics with part 1 of ' The Paint and Pinstripe Show '. Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:09:26 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_21_the_paint_and_pinstripe_show_pt_I.mp3 In keeping with the theme of ' Everything Bike ' on this series of programs we have tried once again to bring you a story of a person and a bike. This ride/quest comes from one very strong guy and an equally strong motorcycle. His bike should NEVER have been able to make the trip that it did. HE, himself would never have been expected to make this trip. This is a compelling hour. This is an equally compelling story. Listen closely when you have the time to do it alone. Distractions will not be welcomed as you try to focus on ' The Dave Barr Show '. Fri, 21 Mar 2008 20:11:41 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_20_the_dave_barr_show.mp3 Time and time again I have thought about getting away and making up my mind on where I want to go and what I want to do can be a problem for no other reason than I have someone else to consider. I have also been heading somewhere on a short run down the highway and almost blown off my life, entirely, literally, and with nothing more than my bike and a few dollars, just left. I do NOT advise that. I think my life is pretty good as it is BUT if you want to head out and have an adventure, this show has at least one segment that will work for you in ' The Adventure Show '. Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:38:23 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_19_the_adventure_show.mp3 So you have an old tank or fender and you want to make a change to it or even a simple repair. Maybe you are looking to MAKE a tank out of something other than steel and are looking for alternatives. That is what we took time to ask our guests this week. We got into the ' How To ' of body work and we even talked about composite forming. You never know... you might just find it's something that might work for your project and we give you ideas on where to find some of the stuff. This is " The Fibreglass and Bodywork Show ". Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:17:43 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_18_fibreglass_and_bodywork_show.mp3 When you ride a bagger you often get a sideways glance from some bikers. You know the one.. " Nice GEEZER Glide, old man " but I never did care much for what other people thought. I have had both sides of the fence look down on me for what I ride or the simple fact that I ride at all. Whatever. I have also taken good natured kidding about the fact that I like baggers. Always have. My non-bagger riding buddies will be quick to beg space but never admit that it's handy to have the room... they just sneak out to the parking lot while everyone else is having a beer to get something out of my luggage. Sneak this edition onto CD and listen to it quietly in the shop... late at night so no one knows you are listening to The Bagger Show. Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:08:56 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_17_the_bagger_show.mp3 This is Dan, your Biker Radio Magazine webmaster, stepping in for Ken this week to do the write-up. So far on Biker Radio Magazine, we've covered a wide range of topics: everything from Legends to Female Bikers, from Builders and One-offs to to Fabrication. In this week's edition we sit back, fire up a stogie, crack open a six pack, and take a look at a few of the highlights. This is 'The Best of Show'. Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:10:40 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_16_the_best_of_show.mp3 On part I of our two part, we talked to just a handful of vendors at the Cinci V-Twin Expo. We had to try to split time between vendors and exhibitors. It was a very busy Saturday. This is part II and we have put together a very fast hour talking to some names you might find familiar. Why did we stray a little from building to looking into the big, fat world of bike commerce? Because we could. That's why. Once in a while we need a bit of a break from tech stuff but we'll be right back at it in a week. This is ' The Cinci Show ' part II. Fri, 15 Feb 2008 21:07:08 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_15_the_cinci_show_part_2.mp3 When you hear about bike shows you might buy a ticket and just hop in the car but the V-Twin Expo in not open to the public. This show deals with vendors and dealers and the occasional media slug. The things we saw at this show were cool on so many levels. It was really great to see some of the bikes that you only see in a magazine ad or on TV and have a look at them up close. There weren't any sales going on but there was information flowing at every turn. It was like... ' What do you want to know today?' Today we look at part one of the V-Twin Expo and we call it " The Cinci Show ". Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:33:21 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_14_the_cinci_show_part_1.mp3 Summer is on the way! WAH HOO! From a northern point of view, it won't be here soon enough. As things thaw out and people get back out to the garage or shed to bring the ' beast ' back to life for another riding season... plans are being made and schemes hatched as folks make ready themselves to see the doctor and find out exactly WHICH Fridays they will be sick and where the best recovery spot is. There are parties all summer long and so many of them are for bikers only. We talked to four people and had a chat about places that might be cool to visit this summer. This is ' The Rally Show .' Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:51:49 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_13_the_rally_show.mp3 So far, we have talked about all kinds of things relating to bikes but we have really just skirted the issue of the engine and the rest of the parts that make the bike go. The thing was, to line up a few guests that could offer a little insight into the real heart of a bike. You make power and turn that power into something usable to make the bike move forward. Three guests today offer a little information on doing just that... If you are building your first Custom, you may find this information very helpful. This is The Drive Train Show. Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:03:09 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_12_the_drive_train_show.mp3 What makes a legend? Great question. In the case of our first guest it comes down to people looking to the guys that have been around the longest because of the style the have and the work they do. Mondo has been around since the beginning of Choppers and is still here and people still look to him for thoughts, ideas and innovation. Who does Mondo consider the next building legend? Aaron Greene of Paramount Custom Cycles and we talk to him in the second half of The Legends Show. Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:29:15 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_11_the_legends_show.mp3 Every time you look at a bike you start looking around for parts that are different and cool. Sometimes you find something that has been made by the bike owner and wonder what kind of time, tools and skill it took to make these parts come to a place on the bike. We talked to three guys that either do their own fab or can offer you help in the way of advice. You can make your own parts... you just need to make the leap and have a little faith in yourself. Everyone on this show gained their skill through trying something for the first time. This is The Fabrication Show. Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:28:56 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_10_the_fabrication_show.mp3 Most often, when we think bikes, we think of big guys in leather with long hair or a lot of facial hair. Hang that! Time to talk to the women that ride. They are funny, they are smart and their numbers are growing. We here at Biker Radio Magazine are cool with that. If you are not cool with that... this show is not for you but you will be missing out on three great guests and an hour of information and some laughs. This is ' The Women's Show '. Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:09:38 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_9_the_womens_show.mp3 Anytime I see some newb with a pair of sandals, in shorts riding down a busy street in summer I have to shake my head a little. When I see the guy on the highway... I cringe a little. Bikes offer little protection from asphalt, stones, lit flicked cigarettes even bees, all of which can add a little wobble to your wheel when you least expect it and that is also the time when you are least prepared to avoid them. Give yourself half a chance and wear a leather jacket and put some shoes on at least. Then... learn how to work with leather to add to your bike in a personal way. We look at both of these topics on The Leather Show. Fri, 28 Dec 2007 19:50:44 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_8_the_leather_show.mp3 We here, at Bike Radio Magazine, have been looking at the two wheeled world and wanted to make the leap to the ' Ugly Step-Sister ' of the bike world... * ulp * TRIKES!!!!! But wait! They are no longer the old tub style VW engine based, Beetle sound alike... they have fat tires both front and rear, straight exhaust in some cases, large bore V-Twins of all makes powering them, reverse and most of all... they are way cooler than they used to look. Even if you liked the 70's Trike you now begin to let thoughts run wild in this decade. We will revisit this one I am sure but for now, this is ' The Trike Show ' Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:03:24 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_7_the_trike_show.mp3 This week we take a step back from the machine and look at a place to go. Well, not a place exactly but a road to many other places. This road was the connection to the west and a road that still, as it did so many years ago, creates a mystique and memories if for no other reason than its connection to the past. We own bikes and we travel on them. Some of us use them to take us on vacation. This week we test the asphalt of The ' Destination ' Show - Rt. 66. Fri, 14 Dec 2007 22:46:44 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_6_the_destination_show_rt_66.mp3 We got to thinking about some of the questions regarding a more technical side of building and general care and feeding of a motorcycle so this show's topic was tossed onto the table and the team was charged with talking ' Tech '. After a flurry of e-mails and our dialing fingers thickened with new calluses, we grabbed the microphone and pressed record. The net we cast was broad and we hope, in time, you will submit questions that we can ferret out answers to but for today our guests share experiences and information and we continue our ' Visit With Ted ' on another edition of Biker Radio Magazine. Fri, 7 Dec 2007 19:59:41 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_5_the_tech_show.mp3 Anyone who has built anything from the ground up has often come across some part that was included in a purchase but not well thought out or maybe it was a case of " I'll just have it made... it's only a small part, it shouldn't cost much ". Truth is... parts are not priced by size or by weight. They are priced by material, work involved, machine time and finishing and don't forget time spent learning to do all of this stuff. All these things cost money. This show will explore some of the things that most of us never think about when we set out to have that small part made. Then... we take a look at a special One Off build. Finally we wrap up with a lighter look at bikes and a great story. Part I of semi regular visits with Ted. This is The One Off Show. Fri, 30 Nov 2007 19:03:14 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_4_the_one_off_show.mp3 You may ask: " Why is this guy that is doing a bike magazine show on... Bike Magazines? " GREAT question. The short answer is to help us all take the road least travelled. So, you are thinking: " HUH? " Well... we wanted to say, " Listen, there are bike magazines that you may not have known about that might be of interest. Out of all the ones we looked to it was this group that was willing to talk for a few minutes and the way we see it... if a magazine editor will take a few minutes out of a busy day to chat with a net based motorcycle show.... they are the people that will talk to YOU if YOU called them ". We haven't let you down yet... try it. Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:55:00 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_3_the_magazine_show.mp3 So often you hear about lots of guys that are starting a project and sometimes you wonder if any ONE person has finished what they really wanted to start. You might even wonder where they got started and what help they might have had along the way. We offer you answers in... the ' Build ' show. Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:45:00 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/build_show.mp3 'The Speed Show' : This is the very first edition of Biker Radio Magazine. The people on this show have set and/or hold world land speed records. These three guests are just a simple cross section of folks that love the sport of motorcycling and one of them is in a wheelchair. He was riding a motorcycle one minute and the next... he was waking up to a new reality. Welcome to Biker Radio Magazine. Thu, 1 Nov 2007 23:15:00 +0900 http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/edition_1_speed_show.mp3
