S2 E6 - What to expect on a vintage motorcycle? INTERVIEW: Jeff Kiniery - Dirt Rider & RevZilla's Director of Facilities

Old motorcycles are cool. They look cool. They sound cool. They are the epitome of the word itself. That being said, they can also be a massive annoyance. With old parts and antiquated technology, riding a vintage motorcycle is harder, less comfortable, and often includes far more repairs than a modern bike. On this episode of HS/LS, the guys discuss what to expect from these old machines, and if the upside outmatches the downside of it all. Lees meer

S1 E12 - Motorcycle sales suck... do you even care?
12 juli 2019 · 28 min

S1 E11 - Will electric motorcycles end an industry?
21 juni 2019 · 30 min
When it comes to electric motorcycles the conversation has always been, "will they be good enough?" For generations petrol has been king of the fuel stack. Entire industries have been built around its consumption, and the engines, parts, and repairs that power our machines in the direction of the future. However, that future is increasingly looking to be electric, and with the constant rate of innovation, the real question to ask might be, "will electric motorcycles be too good?" Lees meer

S1 E7 - Do motorcycles have soul?
29 maart 2019 · 20 min
Some think of it as characteristics that are inherent from the moment of manufacture. Others envision it as something more. Motorcycles are machines. They are made of basically the same stuff as your kitchen toaster. But can machines have soul? That's the question on the HS/LS team's mind this week as they discuss the differences between that which makes a motorcycle unique, and the connection felt between rider and ride that can prove to be much more.

The simple fact is that racing in America is dying. The interest in this form of motorcycling is definitely in a lull and in this episode the guys discuss the reasons for the downturn in this storied pastime. Lees meer
