Welcome to the Cleveland Moto Podcast.
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:19.120

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.399
Hey, we got numbers.

It's episode number 560 of the Cleveland Moto Podcast.
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:26.399

00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:29.120
Yay.
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:30.879
There was much rejoicing.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:37.920
And not the biggest podcast we've ever had, but my God, it's not the size, it's the quality.
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.560
To my immediate left, we have Silent Dan.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.640
Tom Pennington.
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.520
Yay! I just realized we have a Smith in the corner still.
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:54.880
We do still have a Smith in the corner.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:55.600
That's pretty funny.
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.159
That's the Smith seat.
00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:58.479
Yes.
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.920
You're in the Smith zone.
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:00.799
Smith zone.
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:01.920
Yeah, that's funny.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:03.359
So it is.
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:05.920
You're gonna be Shanky Smith for tonight.
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:06.719
Oh god.
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:07.359
Yeah.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.640
Shanky Smith for this for just this one evening.
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.879
The uh so yeah, big, you know, here we are.
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.120
We've survived AMA vintage days.
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:23.120
We've had time to unload, we've had to unpack, we've had a lot of things happen since then.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:23.680
Wow.
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.560
Uh boy, have we had a lot of things happen since then.
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:27.840
Um, we're gonna get to that.
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.599
That's why that's why Sarah's here.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.239
Uh Sarah's working as our apprentice at the shop, so that's super fun and cool.
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.319
We've talked about her and the MotoGo program and stuff in the past.
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.480
We've had some interesting trades, including the bike I brought tonight for everyone to take a spin on.
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:45.840
Onky Fool did good.
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:46.480
We did good.
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:47.680
We did all right, right?
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.239
So there's a lot of stuff going on right now.
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.920
And in Cleveland, we've gotten into that, it's now officially not July anymore.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:03.120
And when I was a kid growing up, everybody always said, Oh, August, it's gonna be a thousand degrees and it's gonna be awful.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.920
I've been keeping track, and the last four Augusts have been delightful.
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.719
It's like a pre-September, and it is it has been very chilly lately.
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.879
It's been nice, like windows open, like it's a good time to be around.
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.439
Well, like like two weeks ago, it was boiling hot.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.039
It was, and I mean, you know, it was it was hot, it was a hundred.
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.800
It was real freaking hot, yeah.
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:41.439
And at one point I was sitting in, because speaking of fun things that have happened, we were sitting at RT's and I was we were talking about the heat and her air conditioning was out, and I looked at my looked at the phone, it was as hot as it was in Lakewood as it was in New Orleans at the same time.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.439
And so now for it to be a balmy what 78 degrees.
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.039
Right, exactly.
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.400
That that is that really does put a wrap on it, doesn't it?
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.560
And I I dig that.
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.400
I totally, totally get that.
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:57.759
Uh, it's been fun.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:04.400
I mean, really having that every day I'm riding, like every single day I ride motorcycle to shop 100%.
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.439
And today was funny because it was like, oh wait, it rained on us.
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.759
And I was, I'll admit it, I was not thinking it was gonna rain on me today.
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.520
It's been super dry too.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.120
Like my my yard hasn't even grown.
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:17.439
Right.
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.039
I have giant cracks through my yard.
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.960
Yeah, oh dude, my my yard's farmland, so it's I basically have the Grand Canyon.
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:35.919
Let's let's not talk about the poor suckers in England right now who are dealing with, you know, none of the canals, they're they're moving all the canal boats off because the there's not enough water to run the lock system, right?
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:43.759
We're talking about our European friends that are having uh sweltering record heat all the time and heat-related deaths when they don't have air conditioning, right?
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.240
Oh, yeah.
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.840
You've had it pretty damn good here in the middle of America.
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.159
Well, I'm I'm in Munich in a week.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:50.879
Oh, that's right.
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.159
And they're having a heat wave.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.560
Yeah, and I was like, 90 degrees, that's not so bad.
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.800
And then I remembered they don't have air conditioning.
Load full transcript
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:57.680
They don't at all.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:58.400
They do not.
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.199
They have windows that open in their hotels, it's really weird.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:01.680
Yeah.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.000
And it is not the place to go if you're like, oh, I need air conditioning if it's gonna be over 80 degrees.
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:07.520
Because it's not.
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:12.000
There, there's just absolutely that's not something they've got for them today.
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.240
So very, very interesting.
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.599
Uh in my opinion.
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:24.560
I think it's just a real, real kind of a wild time uh for the rest of the planet, but for us, it's very chill.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.879
And it has been very chill.
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.000
Um we've been very kind of we're lucky.
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.160
We're dancing between the raindrops, literally.
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.319
And that's that's pretty cool, man.
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:42.800
And if you're a motorcycle person, well, holy shit, if you're a motorcycle person, then this is just this is a great time to be alive if you're a motorcycle rider.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.480
Because we're just doing, I mean, we are having a blast.
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.439
Uh, I have no complaints with what's going on for my motorcycle riding.
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.319
Uh, I know Sleepy's been riding like crazy.
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.120
Uh somebody backed into Dan's bike.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.360
That's weird.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.040
Yeah, that's weird.
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.160
What happened, Dan?
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.519
Oh, it was weird.
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.720
I was sitting at uh in cahoots and somebody walks in.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.360
It's like 11:30 midnight, and it's like, hey, who owns the bike in the parking lot?
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:12.800
Things you never want to hear.
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.560
Right on, hold on, hold on.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.879
Like that sounds like a made-up bar.
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.199
Like nipples and dicks and cahoots.
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:19.839
Right, right.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.240
Yeah.
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:20.959
Like it's serious.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:21.920
Like what explain?
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.560
Can you give me a uh give us a picture of what this bar is like?
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:25.680
What is cahoots?
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:32.399
Outside, it looks like the diveest dive bar you've ever seen, but inside it's just like a normal sports bar.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:32.800
Okay.
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.000
They have an this incredible cheeseburger.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.680
It's I highly recommend it.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:38.079
Okay.
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:38.319
All right.
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.160
At one point you said you went and got the best cheeseburger ever.
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.199
Where was that?
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.720
That was at Incahoots.
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:45.279
Really?
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:45.759
Yeah.
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:47.279
Well, there you go.
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:48.639
Well, that's pretty cool.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.519
Yeah, the the lady who backed into me, she he's like, someone backed into the bike and left.
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.279
And she came back first.
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:56.399
She walks in the bar.
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.199
She's like, walks in, she says, Is this in cahoots?
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.839
And people say yes, and she walks back out.
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.839
Like, that was that was weird.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:04.480
That's weird.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.279
And then, like, 15 minutes later, she walks back in again and she's like, walks right up to me.
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.759
She's like, Is that your motorcycle out there?
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:12.959
I I backed into it.
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.279
And I'm like, Yeah, I I checked it out.
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.319
It looks like it's fine.
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.439
You know, the the helmet fell.
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:18.959
Did it go down on the ground?
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:20.399
No, it was still upright.
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:20.879
Okay.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.000
And the help, the helmet fell off, and somehow the helmet was undamaged as well.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:31.279
Maybe I have no fucking idea how maybe as a lady, she just wanted to maybe get some backup or something.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.120
So she was like, I just hit this bike.
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.439
Can somebody like help me be there?
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.319
Just I don't know if this guy's gonna start screaming at me or something.
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:45.279
Well, I told her, like, no harm, no foul, and she walks back out again, and I'm like, wait, maybe it it's a second person that hit my bike.
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.560
I had to go back, go outside and look again, but it was fine.
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.680
The daughter hit your bike, she drove home, got her mom to come back because she has insurance.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.839
Oh, that's a good idea.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.040
Oh, that's a good idea.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.160
Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.680
He's not just pretty that's right, because that's why he he that's why she needed to know is this in cahoots?
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.600
So she could send him to the right place.
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:06.560
That makes sense.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.319
And she waited in the parking lot until the insured operator showed up.
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.639
And maybe her daughter was hammered.
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.759
Also, a very good, very good insight considering it's a liquor servings establishment.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.560
That's what I'm saying.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.519
Between the two of us, there's almost you guys came up with a hell of a thing there.
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:22.720
You guys are ready for dragnet.
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.399
Well, it was weird because I have never seen their parking lot that empty at 11 30 at night.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:28.720
Okay.
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:29.600
On a Wednesday.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.560
Usually it's like at least half full still.
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.519
Yeah, people were at the bar on a Wednesday.
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.279
Those are the good guys.
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:44.399
Well, I was there, so you guys know I bought a warehouse.
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.600
And uh so I bought the warehouse.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.959
And the previous owners left.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:52.319
Who did that?
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:53.279
What?
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.120
What happened?
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.839
I uh oh my god, John's exploding.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:58.399
That's John.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.920
I'm not hearing it over here.
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:01.040
Holy shit.
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:02.959
I'm hearing it like maybe it's just in our headphones.
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:03.519
I'm not hearing it.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.000
Yeah, I don't have it in my headphones at all.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:09.839
That's touching things.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.360
So I I buy this warehouse.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.959
I'm good now, but I can't hear anything.
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:24.160
The owner, the former owners are like, hey, we left uh we left some pictures on the back of one of the doors and we'd like to get these uh like to get the pictures back for posterity and everything else, family pictures and whatnot.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.279
Very good.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.680
I'll meet you out front.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:32.399
I'll I'll go to the warehouse, I'll take the pictures down off the door, and I'll put them out in front for you.
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.159
You can grab them whenever you like.
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:52.480
So when I get to the place, as one does, I happen to notice that in front of my building that I own, on the grass in front of the building that I own, there's a 2012 Harley Davidson Road King with a for sale sign on it for$12,000.
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.480
And I am not in any way associated with this Road King.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.000
Wait, right by the shop there?
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.039
In front of my new Avon Lake warehouse.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:01.360
Oh.
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:02.879
That none of you have been to yet.
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.279
Oh.
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.000
Right.
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.639
So not one mile from my house.
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:14.799
And so I'm like, well, that's odd, but I remembered my real estate agent saying that he owned a white Harley Davidson.
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:23.039
And I thought
maybe this is my real estate agent taking some liberties in the time that I've taken ownership of the building until he thinks I've obviously moved in.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.519
But I've already moved a couple of cars over there, right?
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:27.200
You know, it's okay.
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.320
It's weird, he should have asked, but in any case.
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.600
And it says, call Ron, and it's R-O-N-N.
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:34.639
Two N's.
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:35.279
Right?
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.120
And it looks like it's written by somebody who's not used to writing things.
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:39.679
Ron.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:40.320
Run.
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.919
Yeah.
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.000
And so I thought that was odd.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:57.759
So I got in touch with the woman who was coming over to pick up the uh family heirloom photos, and I said, Do you happen to know who left this Harley Davidson in front of my building chained to the sign that used to say Avon Lake Plumbing?
00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.519
I don't.
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:06.240
But but you're the girlfriend of the owner, the former owner of this building.
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.120
I am.
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:14.559
So do you have any arrangements set up with other people that they're allowed to park motorcycles here when they're trying to sell them?
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:15.440
No?
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.879
That's weird.
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.399
Maybe somebody drove by, saw that it was vacant, and just thought, that's a great place to put a bike up for sale.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.440
Because it is on Lear Road and a lot of cars do go by there.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.000
Ah, it sounds kind of weak.
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.759
Contact my real estate agent.
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.879
He's like, Yeah, I'm nowhere near anywhere involved with that.
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.679
I said, But the seller of the property is your cousin.
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.200
And I've met him, he's special, right?
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.679
He's a unique individual.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:47.039
And he he every night there's a bar 25 feet away from the front door of my shop called the Quarry.
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.720
And the quarry is the locals' bar for the 45s.
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.679
And the 45s is where we used to do our podcast.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:11:02.320
And what I'd like to describe is if Avon Lake is a city like Cleveland, then the 45s would be Avon Lake's East Cleveland.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:07.519
It's where every bad police report ever was written in Avon Lake.
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.120
It's where every domestic violence has happened in Avon Lake.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.480
It's the 45s.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.559
It's where Shane and Dustin lived, right?
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:15.360
It's fun.
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.399
It's great.
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:24.080
It's the only place in the world where I've asked Shane, how can you leave seven children's bicycles parked in your front yard and none of them are stolen all the time?
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.000
He goes, honor among thieves.
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:26.960
Right?
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.399
It's the pirate code.
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.879
He's like, well, then it might not be actually the same seven.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.559
If you're gonna take one, replace it with an equal or greater value.
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.120
And so I finally called the guy this morning.
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:48.480
So when I rolled out this morning, the bike was still there, which means the underground network didn't get to Bob, the the you know, the former property owner.
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.559
And I called the guy this morning and I said, Hey, I said, Is this your Harley for sale on Lorraine or on uh Lear Road?
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:55.840
It is, yeah.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.039
Cool bike.
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.039
Yeah, do me a favor.
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.679
What?
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:01.519
Get it off my fucking property.
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.200
And he goes, What?
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.879
And I said, Yeah, I own that place.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.279
And he goes, Bobby owns that place.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.960
I said, Not anymore, he doesn't.
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.480
I'm the new owner.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.440
I don't want you parking motorcycles in front of my spot.
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.519
I don't want anyone thinking that in my spot is a whole bunch of motorcycles.
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.000
Yeah.
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.519
I'd rather they just think that in my spot is a bunch of empty space.
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:21.840
Right?
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.120
Old plumbing company.
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:28.879
An old dilapidated defunct plumbing company is exactly what I want people to think when they drive past my spot.
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.120
Yes, that's right.
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.600
Yeah.
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.120
Porta potties.
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.879
Lightly used septic tanks.
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.840
That's what I was thinking.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:38.639
Yeah.
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.919
Lightning, lightly used septic tanks is right up my alley.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.120
And so he did say that it would be gone by tonight.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.159
So I also like he didn't seem there was any sense of urgency, like he needed to get out there and take care of it right away.
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:50.720
Yeah.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.000
So I thought that was pretty cool.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.480
I gotta talk to Bobby and see if he sold the property.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:55.759
I don't believe this guy.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:12.639
So you know what's funny is I told my wife, I said, hey, I said, so do you think that
since the bar, the quarry, the quarry has giant rocks piled in front of it, so to give you a place where you can smoke and conduct bad business without the line of the sight of the law enforcement officers are driving by.
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:17.759
It's a private patio put up by big giant quarry stones, right?
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:30.879
And I said, So do you think that I should, now that I own the property that's next door to the quarry, do you think that this is the time for me to start hanging around the quarry to make sure that they know I'm a thing.
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:37.200
And so anybody who's like, well, Bobby moved out, so now it's fair game, everybody can just go in there and steal whatever they want.
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:51.919
Uh, because if they are the Bobby, if they're Team Bobby and Team Bobby doesn't own the place anymore, then I need to make sure that I'm in there, letting them know that just because Team Bobby's not there doesn't mean that it's a free-for-all.
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.759
I think this sounds like a group mission.
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.960
I think it does.
00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:01.039
I think we roll in on bikes, yeah, on your scooters, all lively local bad.
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:02.000
All of the above.
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:02.639
All the above.
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:03.360
All the above.
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.320
Establish what what you're about in one shot.
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.159
Let them know that you're not alone with your building.
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.320
And we make it into a very, very subtle dick measuring contest.
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.919
And we walk in going, right.
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:14.879
Yeah.
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.360
The jets are gonna roll tonight.
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.320
Yeah, right.
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:21.919
Um, we don't have a young audience.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.679
We don't have a young audience.
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:23.919
Yeah.
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.200
Well, that's why Sarah's here.
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:26.799
We can bring the uh reference.
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.480
Did you get that reference, Sarah?
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:29.039
Kinda.
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.320
West Side story?
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:31.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.279
We did do a remake of it.
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:33.919
Oh, okay.
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:34.720
All right, well, it's a good one.
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:40.559
I mean, how I knew this was the house is that there was all the scooters parked outside.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.639
I go, this must be the lineup in Tom's driveway.
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:44.960
Yeah.
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:45.679
The buddy.
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.000
Wait, we'll bring it to you a younger demographic.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.080
Come out and play.
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.879
That's like that's like six years younger.
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.039
Warriors, come out and play.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:04.159
So I just thought it was funny that somebody's selling it, that somebody has beat me to the punch and they're selling a motorcycle in front of my place before me.
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.200
Well, and especially when you want to be stealth, there are no motorcycles here.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:12.320
That's the idea, is I want my place to look like there's no motorcycles in here.
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:16.799
I don't need the place I'm paying money for to look like expensive, cool shit inside.
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:22.960
You seriously seriously should put a sign like Phil's Phil's um new white paper reams.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.600
We have a light box in front of the property.
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:26.720
We can put whatever we want in there.
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.919
It's it's gonna be Phil's cover up coming soon.
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.960
Coming soon.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.320
Repent.
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.360
Phil's Mortuary Services is real.
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.679
Oh no, Phil's Mortuary Services you kill them, we grill them.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.799
I think they have this real sign has to go on.
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.120
Used body parts.
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.519
I'm sorry, you just taused my brain to think of this.
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.399
So I have you ever heard of liquid cremation?
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:50.799
Yeah.
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.960
Well, they have a video, so YouTube apparently, or I'm sorry, Facebook just shows you anything now.
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.639
No, they're and so I'm just going down and it was like it goes liquid cremation.
00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.759
I'm like, I've never seen that.
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.360
Like, what's the machine look like?
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.279
Then they have a camera in it, and there's like bones and shit, and then water floating around.
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.480
I'm like, I didn't need to see that.
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.960
It's a parts washer, they just power wash you.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:09.919
It's a parts washer.
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.679
No, I know my friend has the one that you know you put all your motorcycle parts in, yeah.
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:26.399
And it's basically a big dishwasher at extreme heat, and it just washes all your parts, and it has one ingredient, and that's water, maybe a drop or two of cymbalgreen.
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.200
This seemed like it had some other ingredients in it.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.919
Well, the idea is like when you're done, you just got bones.
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.639
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.440
But I didn't need like I would if they would have showed me the machine, yeah, I'd be cool.
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.240
Yes, you would.
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.720
I'd like a mechanically separated separation uh cremation, please.
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.720
Oh, we're gonna turn you into uh chicken nuggets.
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.919
I was gonna say he's already McElfresh.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.799
He can be McNuckett.
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:54.080
Can I get a two-liter of can I get some Macle fresh nuts?
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.519
Well, the funny thing is Soylent John spicy.
00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:58.639
Yeah, soylent John.
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:08.880
The weird thing is everything that comes out of the liquid, the liquid cremation, oh no, everything that comes out goes right down the drain.
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.319
No, yes, 100%.
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.759
So when you're in Lake Erie, you're swimming in people, ask John.
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:14.960
Well Lake Erie.
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.720
It would go to the wastewater treatment plant, hopefully, first.
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:19.599
Yep, it does.
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.000
Have you ever seen like an eyeball float by or anything?
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.759
I've seen all kinds of things float by.
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.920
Some living, mostly dead.
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.759
Oh man.
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.920
Oh, the great Ohio Fat Berg.
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:36.799
Yeah.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.680
Yeah, we'd probably end up with extra grease balls in the in the in the plant, depending on who was consumed.
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.440
Phil's coffee and condoms.
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.960
We got you covered coming and going.
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:45.680
That's it.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:46.720
Yes.
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:52.559
I mean, I'm looking for ideas for the least break-inable, the least desirable.
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.640
We don't want what's in that building.
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:55.279
You know?
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.440
And that was from a listener, Dwayne Coffer.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.319
Dwayne Coffer.
00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.680
Dwayne Spelfer.
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:00.400
I can't read it.
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.960
Pitbull rescue and um biological warfare.
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:06.400
Uh yeah, I yeah.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.920
That's that's what I'm thinking.
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:08.559
Absolutely.
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:09.759
You know what?
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.839
We should just put that broccoli that I have this evening.
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:12.240
Yeah.
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.119
I put up this evening.
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:13.920
We just put that up front.
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.519
Used, used senior living essentials.
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.039
Secondhand senior living essentials.
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:22.160
Don't you need it?
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.039
It depends.
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.400
Diaper washing.
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.519
Yeah, diaper washing.
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:26.079
Right, right.
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:28.000
Yeah, that's that's what it should be.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:32.400
That's you know, that's gonna be our low, our low profile flying under the radar
thing.
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:43.920
If you had a number, like you'd probably get so many phone calls for diaper because there's like a lot of people into the my niece is ready to have a kid and she wants to do the, you know, you turn the diapers in, they wash them and bring them back.
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.160
I'm like, oh Phil's Jazzer size from that.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.599
Here's your spoon.
00:18:49.839 --> 00:19:06.000
I grew up in a household where we did have foster kids, and that my mom was very much an advocate of cloth diapers, and that we, you know, we had the hot we had the super hot water washing machine, and we would burn through 75 or 80 diapers a week.
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.200
Just kind of how it goes.
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.119
Do you have to like spoon them out first before you know, like get some of the solids guys?
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:11.920
Yes, you do.
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:13.279
That is 100% accurate.
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.480
Do you remember babies?
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:16.000
There's not a lot of solids guys.
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.240
It all depends.
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.519
It all depends.
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.119
Oh man.
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:30.000
So that's gonna be that's gonna be the interesting thing because the city hasn't come visiting yet, because it's a commercial property, but it's gonna be a commercial property.
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.880
This entire job description is gonna be a garage.
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.680
Like literally.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:34.960
Sit there and look pretty.
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.160
It's going to be something other than my home garage.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.920
It's you know, as they said, it's where I put my shit.
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.000
Is this big enough to get rid of the other warehouse?
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:44.960
Yeah, that's the whole idea.
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:46.799
Yeah, I mean, I would think that's the whole plan.
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:54.000
So, you know, we're we're in phase one now of getting to the world's weirdest motorcycle auction.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.160
I did talk to East Side Bob at Mid-Ohio.
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.200
I'm like, Phil's gonna be liquidating a warehouse.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:19:59.440
Yeah.
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:06.240
If you wanted to get in touch with him and do a preview and just see if you could come snipe stuff before he even starts, because he's a good guy.
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.440
He's a good guy.
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:07.680
Yeah.
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.039
But he's like, I'd be interested, but I really got a lot of shit.
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:11.839
He does.
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.039
He's got a lot of shit.
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:18.480
I mean, his place has like 18 of those chicken coops.
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.799
Like, have you been to his spot?
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:21.440
No, sir.
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:29.119
They have concrete commercial chicken coops that are nine feet tall, whatever.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.640
And he's got a bunch of them.
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:31.839
And they're full.
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.480
Yeah.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.240
He bought a ridiculous amount of stuff at uh at Skidmark.
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.319
Only paling in comparison to Johnny Vin Johnny's vintage cycle.
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:40.720
Yeah.
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:41.920
But wow.
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.720
I was surprised at what he was interested in buying.
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.000
It's a disease, man.
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:51.920
But I mean, when you look at it, you can buy a whole pack of head gaskets, comedic head gaskets for ten dollars.
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.519
Yeah, throw it on the pile.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.880
I mean, that's what it is.
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:59.599
All this the stuff that looks like junk, if you have the time to sort through it, somebody's looking for it.
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.720
Oh, guaranteed.
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:05.039
I mean, it's a long eBay game of putting out all that stuff on eBay.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.160
And that's the idea.
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:16.720
That's really what the that's the the whole thrust of the entire thing is we're gonna try to make a run at it, use eBay and Craigslist to get to squeeze whatever money we can out of it.
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.799
But not because I don't want to move it ever again.
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:27.680
You could literally, you could literally get a ready-to-go Wick store where you could go in and they have it set up where you could throw one picture in a description, you could detach your square, do it.
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.359
Because you don't want to pay PayPal for all or uh eBay for all those fucking fees.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:31.680
Okay.
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.599
But I'm sure those guys have websites like that.
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.960
You can make a lot of money doing that.
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:40.160
But it again, if that's all you want to do is list shit on fucking even your own website all day, every day.
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.480
I had yeah, I don't see.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.480
I'm just looking for maximum coverage.
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:54.000
The point is I want as many eyeballs as humanly possible on every horrible thing I'm selling because there somewhere there's a guy.
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:59.440
Somewhere there's a guy who needs not one, not two, but three Kimco Grand Vista two fiftys.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.400
What I'm saying is that when you're when you're looking at all this stuff, wasn't there a day when that was a good idea?
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.559
And it was a great fucking day when you got it.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.400
I'm done with that brain now.
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.000
Every seven years, every cell in your fucking body changes.
00:22:14.240
--> 00:22:14.480
Yeah.
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.400
And I don't have those cells anymore.
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:16.960
Gotcha.
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.000
Yeah, that's it.
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:18.880
Yeah.
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.559
I used to be deathly allergic to avocados.
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:24.799
Not gonna eat them like a fiend now.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.519
Right?
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.480
We change.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:27.759
Like our bodies change.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:29.759
Everything about us changes, and the brain changes too.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.960
I hope I change.
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:32.079
For the better.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:35.119
I'm like, uh seven years.
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:36.319
Okay, maybe in seven years.
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:39.759
So interesting thing to talk about in the podcast, real quick.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:47.759
Um, Waze, you know, if you're out there in the world, you're either using Google Maps or you're using Apple Maps, good luck, or you're using Waze.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:23:00.720
Um, and Waze now has they've been testing in several markets, markets where people ride motorcycles for a living, they have been testing motorcycle-specific directions.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:15.200
And I think this is a really good freaking idea because I'm gonna tell you, hand to God, I've been on some roads that Waze has put me on where I was like, nobody ever should have called this a road, right?
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.720
Or they're talking about roads that have particularly dangerous industrial traffic.
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:31.200
So, like if you're in the flats outside of a place where nothing but 18 wheelers come and go, you might not want to take your Harley Davidson or your Honda Goldwing down that particular road.
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.680
So, Tenookie-Son!
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:35.440
Oh, Tenookisan.
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.799
So kind of interesting that Waze would lean into the motorcycle thing.
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.640
I'm really excited about this.
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.960
Um I think it's smart.
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:52.000
I think that they're also going after I mean, Google has like you can go planes, trains, automobile, I can press a button for bicycle.
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.119
Just add motorcycle.
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.680
Right.
00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:07.519
If Google is so easy with taking the bicycle route, which will, and I've done it, bicycle route will put you through parks, bicycle route will put you through trails that run along the the river, they'll trails that run along the you know, the towpath.
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:13.279
They'll do some cool stuff, but they're not real good about understanding the motorcycle thing.
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:21.359
Well, in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines, they're doing it motorcycle specific.
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:32.400
And as a person who's recently
ridden in Guadalajara, Mexico, I can tell you a lot of the roads that I was on were very not friendly motorcycle roads, just based on the industrial traffic alone.
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.160
You know, you wouldn't want to have a motorcycle on those particular roads.
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:37.200
But you did.
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.720
Oh, fuck it, I did.
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.680
You had a sidecar.
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:41.200
It was dumb, right?
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.759
Again, the adventure is surviving, right?
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:50.000
When you survive and you're done and you made it, then you're all like, this is the greatest thing ever.
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:58.079
But in the process, there was any point at about 17 occasions when it could have gone absolute shit-shaped and it would have changed my whole trip.
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.559
Because then it would have been like, hey, let me tell you about the hospital food in Guadalajara.
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.559
And that would not have been a good day, as we say, the shop.
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.079
Not would have been a good day at all.
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:09.279
So that's kind of fun.
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:30.559
I also love the fact that they talk about like they also do a less chatty version, which one of my complete bitches about Waze is they're like, in 450 feet, turn right after the blue sign, the second right in the intersection, onto you know, Boyhoffer Street, and you'll go then another.
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.440
And I'm like, no, just fucking tell me turn right in 450 feet.
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.240
Well, turn right now, and they gotta make it so that it doesn't suck the battery out of your phone in a five seconds.
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:45.680
Yeah, yeah, I used to run ways all the time, but like as my phone got shittier, which now Middle Ohio cured that because my phone, yeah.
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:52.799
But up until that point, when you run Waze and your phone kind of sucks, dude, it's like it goes from like 100% to like 20%, like two years ago.
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.680
And your phone gets hot.
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:55.200
Oh yeah, it burns hot.
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:02.960
You know what I need is like a uh a talk bitch button, like because like I don't hear it, or I'm like, right, when do I have to turn?
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:11.759
I just want to hit like a little you need to turn in 500 in a one mile and you know, like like I want to be able to prompt it to like oh yeah, what are what are the current directions?
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.799
But I don't think it has that.
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.400
I mean, I don't just a single button on there that you're like update.
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.200
Current direct give it give that you know, speak.
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:20.799
Speak, please speak.
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.839
I think say what again, motherfucker.
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:30.480
Yeah, I think the benefit of the motorcycle ways app would be like for beginner riders like me.
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.400
We could see like the different easier routes, you know.
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:39.519
Like they just redone my road next to me, and it's awesome now.
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:44.960
But it used to be the worst road you could ever go down, and I would avoid it at all possible.
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.480
But now it's like awesome for motorcycles like me.
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:49.599
Like I just bought a scooter.
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:51.039
And you can prioritize that.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.240
You just bought a scooter.
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.359
Oh, yeah, she did.
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:55.119
What kind of scooter did you just buy?
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:58.799
Well, but before when she when you buy a scooter, what do you need for the scooter?
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:05.599
Well, so not you know, first things last, a matter of like, I think it was fucking hours ago.
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:18.960
She's working at the shop, hadn't written anything two wheels with a motor yet, and it's one of those painfully awkward situations where you're like, Well, you're working here, you're surrounded by all this delicious dessert, and you're not eating it?
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.680
Come on, man, eat some profits, right?
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.240
And uh, you know, help yourself.
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:28.640
And so she's been working for a long time, she's been apprenticing for a long time.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.279
You put in the work, she's put in the work, yeah.
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.000
And so we we which was the first one you rode?
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.480
I rode the Vino 50.
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.440
The Vino, the Vino 50, powered by Minarelli.
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.559
And so she went out on the Vino 50, right?
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.240
And I didn't give her any training.
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:46.240
I just said He told me nothing.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.279
Follow me.
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.599
He told me we're gonna go on the sidewalk.
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.000
Nothing.
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:50.480
Follow me.
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.279
I said, I'm going on the sidewalk, stay behind me.
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:54.400
That was it.
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.160
Good luck, right?
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.920
This is that whole throw your kid in the pool, they'll learn how to swim.
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:05.839
Well, I mean, at this point, she knows how it operates, she knows how to start it up, she knows how to run it, she knows how to fix it halfway.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.759
Yeah, she knows what the front brake and the rear brake.
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:09.440
I mean, I think you know most of it, right?
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:12.720
She's been struggle fucking carburetors to life for the past six months.
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.079
Yeah, I mean, you know them from the inside out, so it's just
okay.
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:17.119
Well, you know.
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:21.039
Yeah, but being on it is different than working on it.
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:28.480
Do I always ask people where they're learning to ride by uh motorcycles, how much bicycle riding have you done lately?
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:29.359
Oh, none.
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:29.839
Yes.
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:38.640
That's like if I was gonna have a motorcycle camp, first thing would be like jump on that bicycle, ride it around the parking lot, do some figure eights.
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.680
Like, you know what I mean?
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.559
Start with a bicycle.
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.079
Same thing I tell all my customers.
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:51.759
If it's been 20 years since you've ridden a bicycle, go borrow your neighbor's bicycle, and you know, have them borrow you a bicycle for an hour and a half, and then you'll be like, okay, you'll be ready for an automatic.
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:55.440
Well, I didn't ask her, I just figured she's a young person, she probably rides bicycles every day.
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.240
No.
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:56.799
No.
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.799
But I didn't tell him that.
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:01.599
So yeah.
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.440
You gotta hold your cards, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:04.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:04.960
I got this.
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:05.519
I got this.
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:05.920
I'm good.
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:06.799
Don't worry about me.
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.160
So before she hit 30, uh, before she hit 15, what'd you hit?
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:14.160
I hit a bus stop.
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.440
Nice.
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:17.599
You know that bus stop that's right by a shop?
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:18.079
Right there.
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:18.720
Right in front.
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:20.000
That's how far you made it.
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:20.880
15 feet.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:21.759
Not even.
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.440
Well, you know what?
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.559
I had a huge, huge bruise on my arm.
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:29.759
She's not lying.
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.599
It was like black.
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:33.680
I can name purple.
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.000
I can name almost everybody I know, even myself.
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:43.519
My first ride on a motorcycle, jumped on my brother's dirt bike, popped the clutch.
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.319
I didn't stall it.
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:52.799
I was so excited that I didn't stall it, and then I gave it the gas, and then I freaked out because I choked up on the throttle and I slammed it right into the side of the garage.
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:54.880
And he never let me ride it again.
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.200
Oh, uh similar story here.
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:57.759
First ride.
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:07.039
I almost bought a Toyota camera because the Allstate I was on dropped into first gear and I was on the throttle, and I walked it on the rear tire trying to rein it in.
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:07.519
Really?
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:10.960
And before I smashed it in the back of the car, I dumped it into the bushes.
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.000
Oh my god.
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:13.599
And that was me going.
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.880
Yeah, 12 o'clock on an Allstate with eight-inch wheels.
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:18.079
Kevin's son said.
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:23.839
Kevin Nixon, if you're out there listening tonight, I don't know if you are, but he rode my CX500.
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.279
He did the shortest best wheelie I've ever seen.
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:38.559
It was a 10-foot ride with a 12 o'clock wheelie that ended up in sort of bouncing off of my uh my deck, my deck railing or something in my backyard.
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.279
Like, just here, wrap it up, just see if you can pop the clutch out.
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:42.640
Just like and just go for it.
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.240
And it was, I was like, man, that was that happened fast.
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:47.680
Dan, what was your first?
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:50.000
Mine was a 55 Lambretta.
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:52.799
I crashed into the back wall of my buddy's garage.
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:53.920
Oh my god.
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:55.279
Which you now have, right?
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.039
Which I know I now own that bike.
00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:58.240
The same exact bike.
00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.279
Same exact bike.
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:00.960
Well, wow, that came full fucking soon.
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:02.480
That did come full fucking soon.
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:03.119
Yeah.
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:04.960
Still has a dent in the fender.
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:09.359
I love I love the way, I love the way that took 70 years to come around.
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:09.920
Right?
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.160
You're like, hey, foreshadowing.
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:14.400
In 70 years, this is gonna be awesome.
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:15.119
Yeah.
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:15.920
Wow.
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:17.599
Oh that's fantastic.
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:19.519
Yeah, that I mean it was pretty good.
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.920
Um, the funny thing was there was a lightly homeless guy in the bus stop at the time.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:25.680
Was it the pooper?
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.359
No, it wasn't the Phantom Pooper.
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:33.200
It can't be a Phantom, we've seen him do it, but it was just another fella that I didn't recognize as being one of our regulars.
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.400
And he was kind of like looking at something, you know, whatever.
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.960
He wasn't paying attention to the incoming Vino.
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:40.640
Sarah Pay.
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.039
When she hit that fucking thing, I heard it.
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.160
I
was 30 feet away from her, and it made a loud noise.
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:51.359
And this dude, his entire body went erect.
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:59.359
Like he had an involuntary nerve response where he just was like, ah, you know, and words didn't work right anymore.
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:06.240
And he was like, ah! And and I was like, I looked back and I heard the noise, and I looked at her, and she was still upright.
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.759
And I was like, You're okay?
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:11.519
And she was like, she was like, stop looking at me.
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.799
Stop looking at me.
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:14.000
Don't look at me.
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.759
Continue mission.
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:16.559
I got this.
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.079
And yeah, that's Sarah's way.
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.079
Sarah's way is like, like, I'm gonna fuck up.
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:23.839
Don't don't tell me you saw it.
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:26.319
Our buddy Alex in Australia.
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:28.559
My first crash, I hit a kangaroo on the tail.
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.000
Now wait a second.
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:33.920
Hold the fuck on for a second.
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.759
What the fuck, man?
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:39.759
Okay, one doing fine, sir.
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:43.920
Kangaroos, if I remember correctly, kangaroos have big ears.
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.880
And KX80s are not quiet.
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.279
No.
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.759
So how do you sneak up on a kangaroo?
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:50.880
Must have been really fair.
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.279
I think the kangaroo squared up on him.
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:57.039
The kangaroo stood its ground.
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.799
The kangaroo looked at him and said, I can take him, mate.
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.480
Well, Ryan F.
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:04.000
Knight told us they're wiry.
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:05.039
Yeah, they are wiry.
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:05.200
Yeah.
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.039
You ever seen a kangaroo?
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.240
They're like, I don't know.
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:09.599
I will tell you again and again.
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:11.519
Kangaroo are jacked.
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:15.279
And the other thing is, like, the the Sydney zoo, right?
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:24.160
The Sydney Zoo has signs by the kangaroo and the alligator enclosures that are just those, you know, those the shape of like a warning sign.
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:24.960
A skeleton.
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.240
You know, and the warning sign says the fall won't kill you.
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:30.319
And like it's legit.
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:37.599
And like on the tiger cage or the the the like the cheetah cage, it says, I can spray pee 20 feet.
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.640
And if you can read this sign, you're too close.
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:41.440
Right?
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:47.599
And the Australians have a very
laissez-faire attitude about like, well, I went to the zoo and got my face beaten, you know, bit off.
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.720
They're like, well, there was a sign, or just you should know better.
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.519
You're at the fucking zoo.
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:52.720
The tiger was a real cunt.
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:53.599
Exactly.
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.000
Right.
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:57.440
Dude, those kangaroos always make me think like they're outside of a club.
00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:58.240
Like, yes.
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.640
Like neck of the queue.
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:03.519
Yeah, the bouncer.
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:05.279
Yeah, they're doing the skibbity dance.
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:05.920
Yeah.
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:08.960
Yeah, they're definitely doing the skibbity dance.
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:10.320
That's kind of how they stand up, actually.
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.480
Yeah.
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:13.280
The kangaroo is uniquely built for the skibbity.
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.480
Yeah.
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.159
Somebody call a little big right now.
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.320
We're missing an opportunity in Australia.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:19.039
Yep.
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.480
These Russians need to get to Australia immediately in Skibity Kangaroo.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.960
Oh, I could just see the concert out in the bush.
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:25.599
On the bush.
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:26.639
Right, exactly.
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:29.760
I love it.
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:30.639
Oh, that's great.
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.960
Chat GPT, can you have the kangaroo?
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:36.079
Sorry, sleepy dark.
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.800
That's how it works.
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.920
Alexa play.
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:38.400
Yeah.
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:39.920
Skibity kangaroo.
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:41.119
Right, that's it.
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:42.480
Oh man.
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:45.440
So she made the loud noise, scared the shit out of the bomb.
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:46.400
I mean, not bomb, okay.
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:47.599
Lightly homeless person.
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:48.880
Um, lightly unhoused person.
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.960
Lightly in house person.
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:51.599
But he did.
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.119
He got his attention.
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.119
And then she followed me, you know, and she did great.
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.239
You know, she did initially.
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:03.360
She was like, okay, well, the half pipe was a little weird, but I'm looking at you, but I'm not coming at you anymore.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:05.440
I was like, well, you need to look at me harder.
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:10.000
And then and she was like, I'm looking at you pretty fucking hard, but I'm still going towards that car.
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.199
And then we figured out, I figured out how to sort it out.
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:18.000
We took her off of that bike after that short adventure, and we put you on the the 125, right?
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.320
Yeah.
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:20.239
The Yamaha Vino 125.
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.320
And I took her to the cemetery.
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:24.000
Is that prequel?
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.440
So obviously not willing to spend much bike on this learning scissors.
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.039
She put them both together.
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:29.440
I did.
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:30.719
They were all her work.
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:32.480
I mean, that's bikes she put together.
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:35.760
So if you're gonna fuck something up, fuck up the thing you put you put together.
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.840
But the fucking cemetery, you're already there.
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:40.480
Yeah.
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:42.880
I mean, and you really don't want to crash it.
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:44.639
You don't want to crash in the cemetery.
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.000
And because it's like stone.
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:48.639
It's all fucking granite, right?
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:49.840
It's not dicking around.
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:54.719
And so we did our cemetery behind the shop, has got all these fun little roads in it.
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:59.199
And we taught her about inside right-hand turns, outside left-hand turns, and everything else.
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:16.079
And I think I made her do 75 fucking turns at low speeds and just kind of broke her the habit of like, I need your eyeballs to be where the bike is going to be in three seconds, but I need your brain to stop knowing that there's some shit you can run into closer.
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:17.360
Target fixation.
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:19.360
Target fixation was a big deal for her.
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:20.159
And she nailed it.
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:21.760
Tom, can I have two cookies?
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:22.800
One for me, one for Sarah.
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:23.440
Absolutely.
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:25.199
And then vintage days happened.
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:32.800
And then when vintage days happened, I went and got Sarah in, you know, her mom and dad.
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:35.920
I got them into the event, totally legally, I mind you.
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.320
Yeah.
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:36.960
Totally.
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:38.079
Those passes I paid for.
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:39.440
It was nice of you to pay for them.
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:44.320
I thought it was very generous since I was getting a camping pass anyway to get them into the thing.
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:48.719
It was great since they make you buy two camping paces for every tent, right?
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.119
That we had something to do with those passes.
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:58.000
So we got Sarah and her mom and dad in, and uh it was one of those like welcome to the shit show moments.
00:36:58.559 --> 00:36:58.960
Right?
00:36:59.199
--> 00:37:00.000
Good luck.
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:01.599
You're in here now.
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:02.960
Here we go.
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:03.760
Here's the key.
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:04.400
One of us.
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:05.760
I was not prepared.
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:10.079
And what's funny is when we were in line waiting to get past the hair scrambles.
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:12.079
How could you be prepared though for Middle High?
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.679
The hair scrambles choked us up.
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.480
So the hair scrambles got us lined up.
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:23.360
And who's behind her in the mini with one eighth of a tank of gas, but Piper.
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.280
So Piper is directly behind Sarah's family.
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:35.280
And I thought that was hilarious that I pulled up to stop to be like, oh, hey, we're gonna have to check up for a minute, let the hair scrambles go.
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:42.800
And so I'm talking to you, and then I hear Piper going, Phil, Phil, and I was like, oh shit.
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:44.639
Oh, it's all of the young people.
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.039
It's all of Cleveland Moto's young humans.
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:47.840
It was great.
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:48.639
Which is two.
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:52.960
Which is hey, Ivy.
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:55.119
That's two more than we had two years ago.
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:55.679
Right.
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:56.159
There you go.
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:56.639
That's right.
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:56.960
Yeah.
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:58.239
Don't leave out Ivy.
00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:59.119
And Ivy.
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.119
Oh no, we I think we did I'm gonna tell you right now.
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:10.960
When I came back from the seminar, and uh the women's empowerment seminar, which is what it is, right?
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:21.199
And I came back from the women's empowerment seminar, and she's got her dad riding bitch on the back of Liza's Penelli TNT 135.
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:23.119
I was like, my work here is done.
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:25.519
I can't improve on this.
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.639
It's going fucking perfectly.
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:33.280
It literally so mid-Ohio is the catalyst.
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:38.000
Mid Ohio is the place, it's the pool you throw the children in and force them how to swim.
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:46.800
Well, I mean, we'll get into it later, but yeah, we've had a disciple now arise to glory through through through the Cleveland motor FEMA campaign.
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.880
The FEMA camp system, it's the new farm leagues.
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:52.559
It is right, it really is.
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:57.360
You want it, you want your kid to really develop and you want him to really, really get get known?
00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:58.480
FEMA camp.
00:38:58.559 --> 00:38:59.599
Yeah, FEMA camp.
00:38:59.679 --> 00:38:59.920
Why?
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:01.199
Because everything's allowed.
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:01.599
Yep.
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:09.519
Because we encourage adventurous behavior, but with safety and guidance that we've learned from all of our Uncle Liza sets the fires.
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:10.320
Right, right.
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:12.480
We need to make this fire bigger.
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.360
Hey, kid, bring Johnny, bring over some more fire.
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:16.639
There's no safety.
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:17.679
There was no guidance.
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:18.639
There was like, just go.
00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:19.360
No, no, that's what I'm saying.
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:21.440
Put me on Liza's bike.
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.159
I love how Rose put you on Liza's bike.
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:26.239
Yeah, she goes, it'll be fine.
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:27.199
It will be fine.
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:29.519
And let's look at the let's look at the relationship there.
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:33.760
So Rose basically joined the family that day, or maybe the day before.
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.320
Oh, yeah.
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.920
And she was so confident that she was like, Rose had no idea what she was being thrown into.
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:38.239
Yeah.
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:39.760
Just go ahead and take Liza's bike.
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:40.960
Like it's just that's what happens.
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:42.719
And she's a teacher, too.
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:44.559
She's a chemistry professor.
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:47.679
I would say that we had one of the most peaceful.
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:49.840
Rose is super smart.
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.480
Do not, do not sleep on Rose.
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:56.639
I had more fun talking to Rose about obscure fun shit.
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:57.599
Rose is on.
00:39:58.559 --> 00:39:59.679
I want to spend a lot more time with her.
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:02.000
She and Becky clicked immediately, just like, oh hey.
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:03.119
Crazy smart people.
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:09.119
Her and Marshall talking, and like all of a sudden they were, I thought they were gonna have a new nuclear fucking something go on.
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:10.800
No, I couldn't walk in the tent.
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:11.840
There were too many thought bubbles.
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:13.280
There's too many PhDs.
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:14.719
I felt outclassed.
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:16.000
I was like, I'm just gonna sit over here.
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:17.679
Fucking scumbag.
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:18.639
Oh my god.
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:22.639
Well, I think it was Sunday morning we were checking out, getting ready to roll out of there.
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:28.800
And Rose is like, you know, Phil, when we got here, I didn't think much of you.
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:32.400
I think she told me that as well at one point.
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.159
But at the end of the day, I didn't think much of you.
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:35.920
I didn't hear the second part of the sentence.
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:37.440
And I was just like, eh.
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.320
Well, that's I was like, well, you know what?
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.840
And she was like, no, no, but I really like you now.
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:44.960
I think you're really cool.
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.519
And I was like, Oh, so she only knows what Liza told her?
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:47.920
Right.
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:50.800
Oh, Liza got her ready.
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:52.639
Yeah, Liza got her ready for the Phil Watch.
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:59.280
I mean, Rose was incredibly nice to me.
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:00.480
She was amazing.
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:01.519
Yeah, she did great.
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.760
And I can't believe they rode like 14 hours a day.
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:12.400
The entire adventure, like the fact that Rose joined them on like day three and stuck it out, she didn't have to, but she did.
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:15.039
Like the entire thing that they pulled off.
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:18.480
Shocking, great, and don't ever ask me to do it because I'm gonna say no.
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:20.880
1400 miles or 14,000 miles.
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:23.360
That is not my idea of a good time.
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:25.039
I'm young and I wouldn't do it.
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:25.360
No.
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:25.840
Uh-oh.
00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:26.320
No.
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.159
Terrible, terrible timeout.
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:29.199
Not not fun.
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:31.360
For me, not my idea of a good time.
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:31.760
Right.
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:39.039
And you know, present party included, if any of you guys ever ask me to do a trip across America, I'll be in the truck with the air conditioning.
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:39.920
I'll be with you.
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:41.920
Driving the trailer with the bikes in it.
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:42.880
I'll be riding.
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:43.440
I'm cool.
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:44.079
You can ride.
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:44.639
We'll follow it.
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:45.280
Enjoy yourself.
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:47.519
Actually, my hips hurt.
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:48.480
Don't care.
00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:49.360
We're gonna shoot.
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.719
I'm learning how to deal with pain because otherwise you can't do anything.
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:54.159
We're gonna shoot the burby.
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:57.760
We're gonna shoot as fast to the hotel and find a tiki bar and we'll be waiting for you.
00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:58.960
That's exactly right.
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:04.400
We're gonna set a land speed record to the cool hotel with the Lazy River and the Tiki Bar.
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:06.960
We'll unload the bikes when we get there and ride them over to the tiki bar.
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:09.199
In fact, let's just fucking sell you right now.
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:10.079
We'll meet you in Vegas.
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.400
You'll have one job, and then it's the film the coming up.
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:25.840
Long distance riding is literally holding the throttle like this for three hours, stopping at a gas station where the fucking light goes off, taking a shit, drinking some water, and then getting back on the bike and going, eh.
00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:28.239
Better than Liza, she ended up in the hospital.
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.039
Right, that's true.
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.239
I think you're doing it wrong because I have a lot more fun than that.
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:33.119
I get it.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:39.760
Don't get I mean I'm sure if I wasn't driving an interstate between Birmingham and New Orleans, I would have been like, oh, cool, back roads.
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:46.800
I think the only way I would want to do it, I'd have to have all the time in the world, I'd have to be retired, I'd have to have plenty of money, and I would want to just do it by myself.
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:49.199
All of my cross-country travel has been this.
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.840
I have ten days to complete this mission.
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:59.840
In order to complete this mission in ten days, and Alaska's part of that, I have to drive as fast as this bike will go for the first two to three days.
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:08.000
Then I'm gonna go to the cool place, and I'll be in the tool cool place for two to three days, and then I have to turn around and drive as fast as this bike will go for two to three days.
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:11.199
And then there's usually two or three tires involved in that.
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:12.639
Not great.
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:16.079
And like they're not real predictable like when they're gonna happen.
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:38.320
So it does kind of take the fun out of it when you can be like, or I could be in this truck with air conditioning and a cruise control button and listen to music for 14 hours a day, and then set like landing gear come down on the truck, you go into a fun hotel motel with a pool and a great steak restaurant outside, and then you go, okay, we're ready for day two now.
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:43.599
And then magically you're on the opposite coast of this country where all the fun roads are.
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:48.159
Well, and then you take the bike out of the back of your truck that does the fun roads really well.
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:53.360
Because the bike that does the fun roads really well is not the same bike that does going across America really well.
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:55.599
My F nine hundred XR does both.
00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:57.920
I could go across and do some fucking fun roads.
00:43:58.079 --> 00:43:59.760
That's cool, and on the other side.
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.800
I'll have the truck and you'll have a flat tire.
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:03.360
Okay.
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:04.639
I like
riding the bike.
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:05.199
I get it.
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:05.679
I love it.
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:10.480
Well, as we've said, the best rallies don't involve bikes.
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:12.719
Ooh, that has become common.
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:16.079
It's the bike people.
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:18.719
Honestly, the Cocoa Beach rally.
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:19.840
I took a bike.
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.280
I took 20 bikes.
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:23.199
We literally stopped.
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:24.719
We left Cleveland.
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:25.840
We went to Pittsburgh.
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:27.199
We picked up a bunch of Pittsburgh.
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:28.239
We went to DC.
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:29.679
We picked up a bunch in DC.
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:30.800
We went to Chapel Hill.
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:32.159
We picked a bunch of Chapel Hill.
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:34.159
And we ended up in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:40.400
In two different ways we did it one way with a rider truck, and we did it another way with my pickup truck and a big trailer.
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:48.400
And when we arrived in Cocoa Beach, people, you know, we we got their bikes out like a Pez dispenser and people gave me money, right?
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:53.519
And that paid for our entire trip was the money we that Stefan and I charged to get the bikes down there.
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:54.400
Schleppin' bikes.
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:55.920
Schlepping bikes, man.
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:56.960
And it was fun.
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:05.679
We had our, you know, we all had our own bikes there for the trip, but the long and short of it is could have had the exact same fun, exact same trip if we deleted the bike part portion of it.
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:11.920
So it's I've I have said for I have been I've proposed it several times since the uh since the excursion to Cancun last time.
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:12.320
Yes.
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:14.480
That we just have a scooter rally at Cancun.
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:15.440
That's a great idea.
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.280
And we don't bring any bikes.
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:17.679
Right.
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:19.599
Just have one party favor bike.
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:21.280
Ah there's a bike.
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:24.639
If somebody gets really drunk and stupid and wants to go crash something, go ahead.
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:27.360
As the pastor, your gym is going to be a black can bike.
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:30.239
One bike that, oh, let's do a little Jim Cana.
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:31.199
Everybody just takes a turn.
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:31.920
Everyone takes a bike.
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:33.199
That bike on the Jim Cana.
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:38.239
I'd say we I say we fly in a cancun, we buy an Italica for like$300.
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:44.079
Now, this was the robot idea, and I think we go along with it, and that is we fly to Mexico.
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:44.639
Yeah.
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:52.000
And we go to a cool place in Mexico, we go into a grocery store and buy a motorcycle or a scooter in the grocery store.
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:52.639
Walmart.
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:53.599
And we ride that.
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:55.840
No, every grocery store in Mexico sells motorcycles.
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:56.480
Oh, cool.
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:56.880
It's weird.
00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:57.840
And they're like$1,800.
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:00.079
It's gonna be it's gonna be like a China.
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:00.559
Yeah.
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:01.199
China smash.
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:02.400
Yeah,$500 italica.
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:03.920
I'd like a Robin 200, please.
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.599
Well, here's what the deal is they're Chinese bikes that are assembled in Mexico.
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:09.599
So they get around the tariff thing.
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:12.400
And then you buy the bike and then you just ride it.
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:15.599
And as Robot says, not a problem getting into America.
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:17.119
Oh, I was gonna suggest.
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:29.039
You hang your Ohio license plate on the back of the cocksucker, and you just and then go from wherever the fuck it is we bought them, insert name of Fun City here, all the way back to the United States.
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.400
And then once we're in the United States, the trip can continue.
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:34.960
Like for the people that are like hardcore, no brain.
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:39.360
I want to ride an Italica 180 all the way from now San Diego to Cleveland.
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:40.000
I got you.
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:40.880
I'll drive the truck all the way.
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:41.840
Bingo, right?
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:43.360
Yeah, one-way rental is in my future.
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.159
I was just gonna say we go to an all-inclusive, we buy the Italica.
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:46.639
Right.
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:50.480
We make friends with like your guy at uh Villa del Palmar.
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:51.280
Yeah, absolutely.
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:52.800
And then at the end of the week, we just hand him the.
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:54.079
We just leave them.
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:56.079
We just abandon them there.
00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:57.679
Here's your tip for the week.
00:46:57.920 --> 00:46:58.079
Right.
00:46:58.159 --> 00:46:59.039
Here's my tip for the week.
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:02.719
And by the way, next time we come back, it doesn't have to be this bike, but we get a bike to ride.
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:02.960
Yeah.
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:03.280
Yeah.
00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:04.239
That's not a bad idea.
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:10.400
There will likely come a day when I want to take a nice ride, but I just need time and I need whatever.
00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:11.599
I totally agree.
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:22.400
Time well spent is when you're sitting
there with a cocktail in your hand and you're looking at the ocean and you're like, I may or may not play frisbee today.
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:23.679
Let me check.
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:25.840
Uh, maybe not, right?
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:26.239
Yeah.
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:28.800
There's a good band going to be open up at four o'clock.
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.159
So I like that teleport to the East Coast or West Coast, and then just you know, have fun out there.
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:45.519
The teleporting to the West Coast, I've done that for a lot of years where I've done the whole 14 bikes in a truck and trailer, go out west and sell them when I'm out there, sell them out there, so I have a job to do when I'm physically there.
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:49.920
And then as you're selling the bikes, you get to the point in the trip where the trailer sells.
00:47:50.239 --> 00:48:02.480
And so when you get to the point in the trip where this trailer sells and you only have three bikes left in the back of your pickup truck, then you're like, okay, now I need to start talking about some concentrated fun having.
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:17.280
Because I got one of those three bikes, I'm gonna ride around to you know Big Sur, I'm gonna ride to Santa Cruz, I'm gonna ride the mountains, I'm gonna do all the cool stuff on this one bike out of the three that's left, and then I'm gonna set up camp and sell those last three bikes.
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:20.800
And then when the last three bikes are sold, that's it, man.
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:21.920
Bruce is listening.
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.360
He says, All right, guys, meet me in Newport, Oregon on September 25th.
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:27.199
He's buying the first and second rounds.
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:27.760
Yes.
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.960
Because he's taking his trip, so you can just meet him at the end of it.
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:33.199
That's awesome.
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:38.800
Uh, talking about trips that are coming up, uh, we're gonna be going to the Isle of Man.
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:40.559
We're gonna be going to the classic.
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:42.079
So that's exciting.
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:43.679
It's in like just a couple days.
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.679
I was like, I'm not prepared for this, dude.
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:48.239
I look down and I'm like, I'm like, okay, I gotta do this, I gotta do this.
00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:50.000
I'm like, wait, that's like eight days from now.
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.400
Well, Tom has to go to Prague and come back first.
00:48:52.719 --> 00:49:04.880
So, yeah, no, I'm I literally, literally Tuesday night after work, I'm flying to Munich, and then Becky's like, well, Prague's only five hours away, and I have to get she has to go to Librick.
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:06.719
Um, so why don't we drive?
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:08.480
I'm like, I'm sorry, what?
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:13.760
She's like, Yeah, why don't we just rent a car and
drive the Audubon to Prague?
00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.639
I'm like, okay, so I have to go to AAA and get the thing.
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:23.360
And then come to find out because I have a motorcycle endorsement, not only do I have my car endorsement, I have the motorcycle endorsement.
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:28.400
So I'm like, well, now I kind of have to rent a bike when I get to wherever the hell I'm gonna land.
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:36.639
So I'm like, yeah, sure, I could totally do a European country I've never been to and don't understand half the language, and just fuck around.
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.039
Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:45.440
So how close is that to I I'm an idiot, but like, is there is that even close to any kind of conflicty area?
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:52.239
Um Czech Republic is not quite, but getting real close.
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:53.199
That's what I thought.
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:53.760
So alright.
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:54.639
We'll be safe, man.
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:55.280
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:56.239
Nah, we'll be fine.
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:57.840
You still got Poland between.
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:03.920
Yeah, Poland, Poland's gonna be well, Poland's been been picking up all the trash lately anyway, so geez.
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:09.119
Well, that's a good and so and that's the funny part, is Becky's like, yeah, we should go to Poland next.
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:09.760
No.
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:13.679
So you getting back to Sarah over here.
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:14.159
Yeah.
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:17.840
So you were you you smashed into the thing, but then you didn't stop there.
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:19.519
What's been happening after that?
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:24.719
Well I well, first off, I got my permit.
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:26.559
So how did what how did that happen?
00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:36.000
Well, I go, I gotta learn how to ride this summer because I'm doing this job, and you know, I wanna know what the hell I'm doing, you know.
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:40.960
And you know, I feel like I don't like to buy food from a skinny shop.
00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:41.840
Yeah.
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:43.599
Yeah.
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:49.920
And I feel like after my first crash, I was like, okay, this is serious now.
00:50:50.239 --> 00:50:50.880
You know.
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:55.440
You you know, I you gotta take your you gotta get bruises, you know.
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:57.760
You always gotta get bruises and scrapes.
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:02.719
Those are signs that you've learned and you've done a good job, I feel like.
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:07.280
And I feel like I'm glad that you didn't throw your hands up and say, uh I'm never right.
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.159
Uh I've done, you know, one injury, you know, like because some people do that.
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:11.840
Some people do that, yeah.
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:15.039
And I well I
am kind of accidental.
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:17.599
So I've always learned just, you know.
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:19.599
You seem a little tenacious though, too.
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.320
I don't think you're I don't think you let a lot of things beat you, do you?
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.079
Uh I try not to.
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:24.400
Yeah.
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:25.840
I try not to.
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:29.039
Um it's just who I am, how I grew up, you know.
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.880
But anyway, I uh got my permit.
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:41.679
My me, my mom, and dad because my dad wanted to get back into riding because he's been uh he used to ride when he was a teenager.
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:43.440
Like same age as I am.
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:44.000
Okay.
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:48.719
But he wanted to get back into it, and I wanted to do it.
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:51.599
And so my mom was just like, what the hell?
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:52.800
I'll I'll do it too.
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:54.559
So what did you guys take the course?
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:55.840
Like the MLS course?
00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:56.559
Yeah, we did.
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:03.039
So we took we got we took our permits together, but I'm the only one who passed the permit the first row.
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:10.800
And my dad got so upset because he didn't pass a new.
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:13.599
I did get to speak with your dad a little bit at Mid Ohio.
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.199
He he he's I think he liked Mid-Ohio.
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:18.320
He does, he does.
00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:24.719
He he he's just uh, you know, he's a veteran, he's just uh I think he liked getting out there, you know.
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:28.000
He liked getting out there in the wild and being like, oh, that's a drummer.
00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:28.960
There's a lot of shit going on.
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:33.760
So like he's a legit he's a legit drummer pro-musician drummer.
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:34.880
Oh wow, yeah.
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:38.800
So, you know, that already means he's touched by an angel, right?
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:40.480
Yeah, but he spends a lot of time inside.
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:41.840
Human computer.
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:42.800
Yeah, that's it.
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:44.159
He needs to get out more.
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:45.760
He spends a lot of time inside.
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:50.159
I didn't want to say that, but it was like he was like, wow, this is what outside is like.
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:51.679
And he's like, that's kind of cool.
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:55.760
Well, I will say he doesn't have that many good friends, you know.
00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:57.760
So it's like yeah, he got super solid.
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.840
I'm trying to like, I'm trying to like get him with you guys, you know.
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:05.119
But he got to drink some beers, he may or may not have had a cigarette.
00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:06.480
Hey,
my goodness.
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:08.000
Oh my lord.
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:09.039
Oh my lord.
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:11.760
He might have had a jazz cigarette in there somewhere.
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:16.960
But anyway, back to you.
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:24.880
But yeah, so we took the permit, and then I got my permit, and I got my I got my uh permit in the nail and everything.
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:26.000
But they didn't wait.
00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:32.159
They waited and I can't I booked it for the first week at the first week of August.
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:35.119
And I booked that like a month ahead.
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:35.840
The class.
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:41.280
The class and um so I booked it a month ahead.
00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:42.320
I'm all prepared.
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:47.840
I'm looking at all the I'm looking at all the material that they tell you to read before the class and all the videos.
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:50.880
Piper Piper got her permit at Mid-Ohio last year.
00:53:51.119 --> 00:53:52.079
Oh, that's pretty cool.
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:54.719
That is pretty laptop.
00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:55.920
Online, yeah.
00:53:57.199 --> 00:53:59.440
I go I can't do anything online, really.
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:00.239
That's all right.
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:03.280
That's I that's I feel like you guys in that way, you know.
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:04.719
I just can't do anything internet-wise.
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:06.159
No, no, we're all really good on the internet.
00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:10.000
Oh to be clear, she's an engineering student at OU.
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:15.679
Uh but you should see the computer nerds that I go to school with.
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:19.440
They're like, they got everything on their computer customized.
00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:23.440
And I'm like, man, I'm lucky if I get the right file.
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:30.639
So you did, so you did your you had yourself set up for the MSF class.
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.760
Yeah, so but they didn't they didn't get their permit.
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:37.360
So the class started on Monday.
00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:43.280
And the DMV closes on Saturday at 2.
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:46.960
Guess what time we got to the DMV?
00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:48.400
2.02.
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:50.159
No, we got there at 1.
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:51.840
But they had to take their temps.
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:54.320
They had to take their temps and they had to pass.
00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:56.800
And you have to pass, otherwise, you can't go with the MSR.
00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:00.159
Or else you wasted like, you know,$75.
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:02.239
And they won't even let you sign up.
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:02.719
Yeah.
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:03.519
Yeah.
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:06.639
Well, you could theoretically take it online that night.
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:07.280
I mean, I guess.
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:08.639
So they did take their temps.
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:15.360
They passed their temps, and then they flew standby on your scheduled day.
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:15.920
Yeah.
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:18.480
So they just showed up hoping there'd be two spots open.
00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:20.480
Well, no, I scheduled them with me.
00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:21.440
Oh, you did?
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:25.039
I go, guys, I'm scheduling this all for all of us.
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:25.920
Oh, that's great.
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:27.599
If we're doing this, we're doing this.
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:28.559
We're doing it.
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:34.719
You know, and then well, Monday came right along and it was a really boring class for the first.
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:40.320
It's just in the classroom, and you're like, Isn't it like six hours that first day or whatever?
00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:45.679
It's from the first day was from nine to like one, I think.
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:57.920
Yeah, it's four hours, and they don't show you the my favorite part of the first night class was they show you the terrifying videos and they don't watch they don't show you the terrifying videos anymore.
00:55:58.079 --> 00:55:58.159
No.
00:55:58.400 --> 00:55:58.719
No, they don't.
00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:01.519
I was like, the terrifying videos were terrifying.
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:02.880
This is a head in a helmet.
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:03.360
Yes.
00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:04.079
Yes.
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:06.800
I think I think Rob Zombie used the whole thing.
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:07.679
Blood on the road.
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:09.679
This is a guy hanging from the telephone port.
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:10.159
Right.
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:13.039
And she went to pick up his helmet, and his head was still in it.
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:13.599
This guy was.
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:16.480
Today we're gonna talk about left of center.
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:20.559
Blood on the blood on the highway.
00:56:20.719 --> 00:56:21.199
That's it.
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:22.800
So you did Monday?
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:37.840
Yeah, so then that was chill, and then like we go, we get there at 11 or like 10:30 at Hudson High School, where we're taking it, and it's hot and you're in full riding gear.
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:47.840
So you're in pants, a long t-shirt or jacket, gloves, and and a helmet and glasses, you know.
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:52.320
And my dad can't handle heat well because you they're they're old.
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.280
They're like your guys, you know, they're 58.
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:57.280
Well, it's your anatomic system.
00:56:57.440 --> 00:56:57.920
Like, doesn't it?
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:02.000
Well, you it's just it's naturally you can't handle the heat as you get older.
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:03.360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:07.039
Sarah at a certain age, they issue us a pop-up tent to take everywhere with us.
00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:07.840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:08.239 -->
00:57:12.239
Well, like I drank like half as much water as them, and I was doing fine.
00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:16.320
Phil's telling Tom, hey, when Sarah's in the bag, boot up the infrared heater next to us.
00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:17.679
Exactly.
00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:19.760
We're gonna teach her about what it feels like.
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:20.480
Yeah.
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:29.039
But it was the first class, we our instructors' names were Paul and Al, and they were great.
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:29.519
Good.
00:57:29.679 --> 00:57:33.440
They were both retired old guys, you know.
00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:34.639
I thought it was startling.
00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:37.360
90% of MSF instructors, yeah.
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:38.719
Retired old white guys.
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:43.280
I thought it was startling how quickly you're on a bike going across the parking lot.
00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:43.679
Yeah.
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:45.920
Especially for the people who have never ridden at all.
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:47.199
They're like, okay, here's your bike.
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:48.400
Here's the fine see it.
00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:49.679
They know they go through a little bit of it.
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:51.039
Okay, jump on, start it up.
00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:51.199
Right.
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:56.000
Okay, we're gonna duckwalk it a parking lot, put it in gear, let out the clutch, and you're like, what?
00:57:56.400 --> 00:57:57.280
These poor people.
00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:04.880
Yeah, like part of it is that I guess I didn't really understand how the clutch would work in the system.
00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:07.280
And I'm so glad somebody else taught you.
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:08.079
Yeah.
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:11.760
But win for Uncle Phil.
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:15.039
Well, so you were starting on the on the Benelli.
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:15.840
Right.
00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:16.320
Yeah.
00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:19.599
And I told you to put it in second gear.
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:20.800
Put it in second gear.
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:23.360
I did not understand how to do that at first.
00:58:23.679 --> 00:58:24.320
Not at all.
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:25.840
What second gear?
00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:26.320
Exactly.
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:27.199
What's second gear?
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:29.360
One down, what if up, down, what?
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:29.679
Right.
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:30.639
But now I know.
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:31.920
Yeah, now you understand.
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:34.719
A week ago I didn't know, and now I know.
00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:40.639
I gave Piper some extensive training in the driving uh in the parking lot over at the school next to me.
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:42.239
And it started with me.
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:44.559
I put her on the bike and I pushed her around first.
00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:47.519
I'm like, get this is just no motor, no nothing.
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:48.639
I'm gonna give you a push.
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:51.920
I give her a push, get her up to speed, and let go, and then she would drive it around.
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:53.199
I did that several times.
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:55.760
I'm like, all right, now we're gonna start it up.
00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:03.360
You know, you know, and she has actually ridden an SSR and some other stuff, but still the you know, the clutch on that bike was pretty crap and whatever.
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:04.639
But she did really well.
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:06.400
She liked the bikes at the MSF class.
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:08.159
She's like, Oh, the clutch was great on that.
00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:12.800
But I did spend quite a bit of time trying to teach her about they're gonna want you to do this friction zone thing.
00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:20.719
And that's where the clutch isn't in and it isn't out, it's kind of pulling you along, and you can kind of work the brake, and it's like makes it almost like an automatic.
00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:26.800
So I will say by the end of the two days, you fully understand how to do it.
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:34.480
Like you never you definitely need practice like on it, but you understand how to do it.
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:39.519
And what's funny is that my mom, who has no riding experience at all, none.
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:40.960
I can't ride a bicycle.
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:46.960
I mean, she hasn't ridden a bicycle in like years, but she's just like she's a team player.
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:50.239
She's a team player, she's just like, okay, let's do it.
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:52.079
Let me just go get my motorcycle license.
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.800
And so she's terrified.
00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:56.000
She's terrified.
00:59:56.239 --> 01:00:01.920
I took her on the back of my buddy kick, you know, and she's again terrified.
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:07.440
She like can't like she's scared, but she just hops on and she does it.
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:10.960
And she was so much better than me and my dad.
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:15.679
And I think it was because you know, she go she went into it open-minded, like she didn't know better.
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:18.559
Yeah, I'm just gonna listen and do exactly what they tell me to do.
01:00:19.119 --> 01:00:19.440
Good idea.
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:20.480
Yeah, yeah.
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:25.920
And what's funny is that they give you like a second try at the whole test.
01:00:26.079 --> 01:00:26.480
Right.
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:31.440
And me and my dad were the only two that needed the second try who didn't pass it on the first try.
01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:31.840
Really?
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:32.800
Mom showed you.
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:37.519
Oh and my mom was so surprised, and she was like jumping up and down.
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:38.880
Did you rub it in your nose?
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:43.039
Yeah, especially your dad had to go, oh, he's oh yeah, he was down.
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:44.000
Oh my god.
01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:51.199
Yeah, she came into the shop and I told her, so we picked up these two buddy kicks, and they were from Florida.
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:54.159
My customers live up here and they have a house in Florida as well.
01:00:54.239 --> 01:01:08.159
And so these two particular buddy kicks, both French vanilla covered, colored, brown saddles, brown grips, relatively new machines, very few miles on them, but they've lived coastal in Miami.
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:16.320
And so we call them the Barnacle brothers because any part of them that wasn't plastic was in somehow away oxidized.
01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:20.639
Interestingly, even under surfaces that were painted, right?
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:25.280
And so, aside from the oxidation, they were mechanically great.
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:28.159
And when I picked them up, they ran like it was they were good to go.
01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:29.519
But they are just bubbly.
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:35.760
They're they're literally, they look like I mean, uh there's they got corrosion, they got the corrosion, man.
01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:36.880
They they got the whole deal.
01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:41.360
They they look like should they should be on the special, you know, polio island or something, right?
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:43.440
They they're having a hard time with things.
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:45.679
They they've got TB or smallpox.
01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:47.440
What's the show with the mushrooms?
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:48.559
Yeah, exactly.
01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:51.119
Yeah, that's that the last of us or whatever.
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:51.920
Yeah, last of us.
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:53.760
They look like they've got it, right?
01:01:54.159 --> 01:02:04.159
And so we we take the two of them, the barnacle brothers, and we have eventually we have a person that's you know, hey, they want to buy one of the barnacle brothers.
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:08.239
So we took one of the barnacle brothers and we fixed it up enough to sell it.
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:20.400
Yeah, but we had the other barnacle brother left over, and so I told, I told her, I was like, hey man, when you're ready to go, when you when when your time has come, I'll just give you a bike because you work here, right?
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:25.039
I'll give you, you need a bike, you can have a bike, and you can even do a lend lease on a bike.
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:28.000
I've lend leased a lot of people bikes, right?
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:34.639
Because I have too many bikes, and it's okay if some of them go live somewhere else for a while, right?
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:38.639
And she came in and she's like, no, I'm gonna pay for this.
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:41.679
Yeah, I mean she's like, no, I'm gonna pay for this.
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:43.119
And the haggling began.
01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:45.840
No, it was it was right down to what I paid for it.
01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:49.760
You know, like I shouldn't make
any money, like I have a whole rule, I don't make money on friends.
01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:54.639
And the when I sell things to friends, I sell things at dead cost.
01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:56.960
Whatever it costs me, I pass that along to you.
01:02:57.119 --> 01:02:58.159
Whatever it is.
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:09.760
And so she paid exactly what I paid for one of the Barnacle brothers, and you could not have adjusted your watch and the amount of time it took her to close the deal.
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:23.920
The amount of time when she showed up, it was Saturday, and she showed up with parents in tow, she went to Renee, money changed hands, and she was gone.
01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:25.920
I didn't even see her fucking shadow.
01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:31.199
Like a temp tag managed to stick itself to the back of the bike and off she fucked.
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:34.719
And then again, I was really excited.
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:35.760
Yeah, you were.
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:39.039
I sent her a message about nine hours later, said, Hope you're doing okay.
01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:40.159
Hope you're having fun.
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:41.440
Yeah, great.
01:03:41.519 --> 01:03:42.239
Yeah, I got this.
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:43.599
Yeah, wear gloves in it.
01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:44.639
Yeah, that's what I said.
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:45.280
Wear gloves.
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:46.719
Wear gloves, wear gloves.
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:48.320
Do you know why I say wear gloves?
01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:51.039
Because if you fall, it's the first thing you fall on.
01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:52.400
That's what I tell everyone.
01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:59.119
But the real reason I say gloves is when you're recovering in the hospital later, touching yourself is the only fun you're gonna have.
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:02.480
So make sure you're wearing gloves.
01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:03.199
Yeah.
01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:04.480
Fair point.
01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:05.280
Fair point.
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:15.920
As a guy who's been there a few times, trust me, having totally functioning 10 digits when the rest of you is fucked up is a great thing.
01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:16.880
Can you imagine?
01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:19.039
I've been in some I've been in some spots before.
01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:24.320
I've had metal in my legs, I've had all kinds of bad, bad five-week recoveries.
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:27.199
I'm so happy that I always wear gloves.
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:34.800
I'm so happy that when my leg was jacked up and I couldn't walk and I couldn't do things, that my hands were still perfectly functioning.
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:37.599
So I could do computer-y stuff and phone stuff.
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:39.199
Feed yourself.
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:42.159
Feed myself, wash myself.
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:46.639
Because I had one bad crash where I fucked my hands up.
01:04:46.880 --> 01:04:50.239
And in one bad crash, I had some pins and screws.
01:04:50.320 --> 01:04:53.920
I'd broken three fingers on my left hand and two fingers on my right hand.
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:59.840
And so I had both of my hands in a halo in a cage, and I couldn't do anything.
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:02.239
And uh that's terrible.
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:03.519
That was really, really bad.
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:04.719
How long were you in there?
01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:13.840
I was in the cage for about three weeks, so it was three weeks on both hands of not being able to move my hands at all.
01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:30.000
They were completely in suspension for about three weeks, and it's amazing what you can train your brain to do when you only have these two fingers on your left hand and one finger on your right hand to like do things and manipulate things.
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:37.280
But then I also figured out I could use the cages to do stuff, and it's not what you're thinking of, you fucking weirdos.
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:39.119
Yeah, Edward Scissor.
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:40.320
Yes, exactly.
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:42.239
Yeah, that was that was fucking weird.
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:45.840
But yeah, it's it's I'm so I'm so happy that you did that.
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:52.800
I'm so proud of you that you did that because it's super cool, and you know, you got done, and you you did the course, you did the license, you got your bike.
01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:54.159
That's fucking awesome.
01:05:54.239 --> 01:06:02.800
That yeah, I'm excited, so excited to take it down to Athens because it's gonna Be like awesome college stuff to do.
01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:03.440
Yes.
01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:05.679
And you can legally park it on the sidewalk.
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:07.039
When do you go back to school?
01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:09.519
Piper already had to go back because she's an RA.
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:10.639
Ooh, yeah.
01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:14.880
I gotta go back and like, well, next week's gonna be my last week.
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:17.519
Oh my god.
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:18.079
I know.
01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:20.159
And then no Tom, no Sarah.
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:20.719
Fuck.
01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:21.440
Yeah.
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:23.760
Oh man, it's Iron Man again.
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:25.039
I hate Iron Man.
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:25.679
Yeah.
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.840
And then uh the week after that I go the next Saturday.
01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:38.800
I'm glad you got a buddy because I was thinking there needs to be like a Cleveland or Lakewood or whatever buddy Westside Buddy Club.
01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:41.039
Because there's lots of buddies out there.
01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:42.800
There's a lot of buddies out there.
01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:48.320
I see a lot of them tooting even around my neighborhood, and I'm like, the buddy people just need to buddy up and go for a ride.
01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:56.639
Well, I'm hoping that I can encourage more people at college to get a scooter because I feel like
Athens is the perfect place to have a scooter.
01:06:56.800 --> 01:06:57.519
It really is.
01:06:57.840 --> 01:06:58.719
Like the perfect place.
01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:00.400
Chain that son of a bitch up, though.
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:02.880
It's Frat Bros taking your scooter and it's a good one.
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:03.599
Oh my god, I know.
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:06.880
My wife went to Athens school.
01:07:07.039 --> 01:07:13.599
There's a burrito shop at a bar there that she fucking still makes me when I come back from rides down there bring her a fucking burrito for this.
01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:14.639
You know what I'm talking about?
01:07:16.400 --> 01:07:21.920
Is it the food truck or is it the No, it's like a bar that serves like Mexican food, but it's supposed to like it's insanely good.
01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:24.719
And they have vegan versions, so it's like a big ass fucking version.
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:26.079
It's like this big burrito thing.
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:27.920
There's a couple of Mexican places down there.
01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:29.360
You're gonna have to tell me the name of this.
01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:31.199
It's a bar, it's like downtown, it's a bar.
01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:35.760
Anyway whatever, but it's like she loves the fucking thing to this day, and they still have it 20 years later.
01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:36.400
Well, of course.
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:37.599
You don't fuck with a good thing.
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:41.599
Don't they have like a motion thing you could put on your bike, like just throw it under the seat, and if it's a good thing.
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:45.440
There is nothing better on the planet thanks to the colour.
01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:46.639
Full coverage insurance.
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:49.039
Full coverage insurance, cable lock.
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:52.079
And if you're gonna do full coverage insurance, take a tip from your unkey Phil.
01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:54.000
It's called stated value insurance.
01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:56.800
They don't like talking about it, but it's there.
01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:07.519
And when you say, I have a 2012 buddy or 2014 buddy Kick 125 scooter, and they go, Okay, that's worth uh$48.
01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:12.559
So if you have it stolen, we'll give you$48 minus your$500 deductible.
01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:13.920
That'll be$100 a month.
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:15.280
Then they're right, exactly.
01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:20.560
So what you tell them instead is I want replacement value or stated value insurance.
01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:27.600
And I want this bike insured for$3,000 because that's what it's gonna cost me to replace it if it gets jacked.
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:30.319
And they're gonna be like, Well, we don't normally do that.
01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.279
Yes, you do, and I'm gonna pay for it.
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:41.119
And you'll be shocked when your insurance premium goes from$39 a month to forty-five dollars a month, and that's on the high
end, by the way.
01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:41.680
Yeah, yeah.
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:43.920
That's if you're not running your parents' insurance, which you should be.
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:44.960
Haggerty knows that.
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:45.680
Oh, I am.
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:46.560
Yes, you are.
01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:49.600
Uh uh Piper just went off of our insurance.
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:49.840
Right.
01:08:50.159 --> 01:08:59.359
I gamed it out, and since she'd been driving for three years, had no accidents, no nothing, it was actually cheaper for her to get her own insurance policy, then that relieves us of any liability.
01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:04.560
So if she hits somebody and there's a huge lawsuit, it doesn't come back on us at all.
01:09:05.039 --> 01:09:05.359
Exactly.
01:09:05.600 --> 01:09:08.399
Her car is in her name, her insurance, and she's 19 years old.
01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:09.039
It's awesome.
01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:10.560
So she's fucked.
01:09:11.520 --> 01:09:12.479
That's terrible.
01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:16.720
But it's better for her to be just fucked than to you better get her a good lawyer.
01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:20.560
Well, the better, but her parents won't have a lien against her house or you know, that's it.
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:22.159
Piper has nothing to take.
01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:23.680
So I always very true.
01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:25.680
That's why you want that situation.
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:36.239
My attorney has given me some great advice over the years, and he says, don't get five million dollars worth of insurance if everything you own on the planet is worth 250 grand.
01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:39.439
You don't need$5 million worth of insurance.
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:43.039
The best attorney in the world can't take what you don't have, right?
01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:49.119
So if you own$250,000 worth of shit, get$250,000 worth of insurance.
01:09:49.439 --> 01:09:54.079
Going over and above buys you nothing, but it's just extra money for the insurance company.
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:57.520
But the stated value thing, the replacement value thing, that's real.
01:09:57.920 --> 01:09:59.840
Because I've got too many people in my shop.
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.800
In fact, two of the bikes that were in there today, we've got two bikes in there that were rear-ended.
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:14.960
Imagine sitting on your bike next to your wife, waiting in traffic for the light to change, and some fucking numbnut in a Ford pickup truck hits not one but both of you.
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:26.000
And both of my customers, broken collarbone, broken ribs and ankle or something on the other one, both bikes got up the butted by a big old truck.
01:10:26.479 --> 01:10:36.960
And so it's one insurance claim for two vehicles and one potential lawsuit, but in both cases, their bikes are like five years old.
01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:40.960
So the KBB on the value of these bikes is like$1,200.
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:49.439
So not a great time to be like, I need to replace these bikes because they need to be replaced, but you have a$1,200 budget to do it with.
01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:50.640
That's fucked.
01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:56.000
You want to be able to at least replace the shit you're riding right now with the money you're gonna get from the insurance company.
01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:59.680
Otherwise, you're gonna you're gonna say, like, oh, I got a$500 deductible.
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:02.399
$1,200 wouldn't even buy you the same bike used.
01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:03.439
Not even close.
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:07.199
Not even close, minus your$500 deductible, right?
01:11:07.680 --> 01:11:13.439
So it it is a bad deal, and that's why you always go for stated value replacement value insurance tip from a Yankee Phil.
01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:14.079
Yep.
01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:15.520
Yeah, make them work for it.
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:24.640
You're paying them money, you're giving insurance company money, you're playing Las Vegas rules about I'm giving you a bunch of money in hopes that I crash someday and I get to use it.
01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:26.640
Have you done a wheelie yet?
01:11:27.439 --> 01:11:28.880
No, not quite yet.
01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:39.439
So when you're pulling in the show and you hit that little thing, and just when you get to the top, if you give it a little scoot, you'll ride it right into the parking lot.
01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:39.840
Oh, yeah.
01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:40.720
You'll get a little air.
01:11:41.199 --> 01:12:02.560
The other Saturday, I was riding I was riding my uh family friend's dirt bike, and uh one of one of the guys there that we know, I can't remember his name, he uh he's like a motorcycle, he he does motorcycles too, and he uh was showing us videos of him doing wheelies on the highway at like a hundred miles.
01:12:03.039 --> 01:12:03.520
Oh great.
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:07.680
And I was like, hey, so like I think that's like a little stupid.
01:12:08.079 --> 01:12:10.560
Yeah, the learning curve there is not great.
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:21.039
Well he was like uh he was like a you know young 20-some guy, so I do say his brain's not fully developed yet.
01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:22.560
He doesn't know about mortality.
01:12:23.199 --> 01:12:24.159
I haven't figured that out yet.
01:12:24.319 --> 01:12:26.880
I think some of us have gone through that at some point.
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:30.239
What a bunch of dummies.
01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:35.920
So I So um when is mid-Ohio 2 at your place, Sinch?
01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:37.920
You were talking about that before you wanted to have this big party.
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.399
Yeah, probably uh end of September, October.
01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:40.960
Oh, cool.
01:12:41.039 --> 01:12:43.439
It's gonna be an invite-only minnow mini Ohio.
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:46.000
Great Ohio, Jerry Ohio.
01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:48.319
I feel like maybe Sarah would show up.
01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:49.119
Oh, maybe.
01:12:49.279 --> 01:12:50.880
Oh, yeah, obviously part of the family.
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:51.840
There should be fireworks.
01:12:52.079 --> 01:12:53.680
Well, we need somebody to work on the bikes.
01:12:56.159 --> 01:12:58.079
All right, as long as I can stick around.
01:12:58.399 --> 01:13:04.560
You can't hit a rabbit with a shotgun off the back of a dirt bike.
01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:06.479
Are you fucking crazy?
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:09.600
You can't hit a rabbit off the back of a shotgun with a dirt bike.
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:15.840
So speaking of dirt bikes, what did you s what did you find out about this Himalaya 750?
01:13:16.319 --> 01:13:38.319
So, yeah, so people in the UK, um, eagle-eyed observers, have spotted the bike that was only uh a glimmer in the eye of Royal Enfield two years ago at the uh ICMA show, and yet it has been spotted with actual spy photographs that we have here of the uh wow, fucking advertising.
01:13:38.720 --> 01:13:39.119
Get out of there.
01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:39.760
They're horrible.
01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:40.720
Get out of there.
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:42.079
Okay, so there it is.
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:46.159
Um, as seen perched up in front of a very typical British building.
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:58.000
Uh, we all know what those look like, but that is unmistakably not the Interceptor 650 engine in what is unmistakably a Himalayan body or Himalayan frame.
01:13:58.159 --> 01:13:59.680
Uh so that's a real thing.
01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:02.000
There it is being ridden by a human being.
01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:07.520
And again, I've seen enough of those Interceptor 650 engines to know that that's not one of them.
01:14:07.760 --> 01:14:11.119
Dude, that's what's up with adventure bikes becoming Ford Tauruses?
01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:13.680
Well they all look exactly the same.
01:14:13.840 --> 01:14:17.439
Like nobody's taking a okay, you put a round headlight over the porpoise.
01:14:19.199 --> 01:14:20.560
They're all fucking porpoise.
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:23.600
Listen, I have a bunch of I love them, but they're all the same.
01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:27.920
Look at the look at the very British rear wheel cover.
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:36.399
I'm sorry, the the very sari safe, the very sorry safe Stepney rear cover on this straight from Inja.
01:14:36.800 --> 01:14:53.279
Um, so we have this device on the back of this motorcycle so that your female companion can operate on the bike side saddle so her sari won't get wrapped up in the back tire, which would be like very, very embarrassing if her sorry got wrapped around the chain ring on the back of the side.
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:54.560
It's not a bad looking ring.
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:55.439
Very sorry.
01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:56.640
Look at the wheels, though.
01:14:56.720 --> 01:14:58.319
That's obviously not for off-road.
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:00.319
Oh no, definitely not.
01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:01.600
Yeah, definitely not.
01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:04.880
Yeah, I mean that that might be 1819 or 1719 on its very best.
01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:06.880
Yeah, just look at those spokes, those casts.
01:15:07.119 --> 01:15:08.720
Those are purely street wheels.
01:15:08.960 --> 01:15:10.079
Yeah, you hit a tree with that.
01:15:10.720 --> 01:15:17.039
No, no, that's that's just that's the original Africa twin was where ADV bikes should have started, finished, and end.
01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:17.920
I agree.
01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:19.279
That is the the bike.
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:20.800
It had the proper number of headlights.
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:24.399
Everything is right with that bike.
01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:31.199
So here's Royal Enfield, and they are throwing they're they're saying, okay, Interceptor 650, not enough.
01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:34.479
We're gonna do Himalaya 750.
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:42.239
Now, this might end up being if if Royal Enfield sticks to their cheap and cheerful concept.
01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:46.239
Like, here's our motorcycles, they're always cheaper than anybody else's.
01:15:46.479 --> 01:15:47.600
This is gonna do great.
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:57.199
Um, I don't know if you noticed it, but I can't tell looking at it if this back here is a center stand going back to Oh, it definitely looks like you think it is, right?
01:15:57.359 --> 01:15:58.960
Yeah, because it has the foot at the bottom and everything.
01:15:59.279 --> 01:15:59.520
We're cool.
01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:02.159
So that's going up against a Transhelp or a Tenerae?
01:16:02.239 --> 01:16:02.640
Yeah, yeah.
01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:03.119
Yep.
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:07.119
And it'll be a lot cheaper because it's got Royal Enfield stamped on the side.
01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:13.359
From all I've heard from guys that have 40,000, 45,000, 50,000 miles on the newest Himalayas, they're good bikes.
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:16.960
They seem to like the the 450, you know, Himalayas.
01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:27.199
So if this can be the same thing, but also I'd like to remind you that this is coming into a market where the Kawasaki KLR 650 continues to exist.
01:16:27.439 --> 01:16:33.119
Well, and everybody's kind of saying now that the 500 that they just came out with is better than people kind of anticipated at first.
01:16:33.359 --> 01:16:33.920
I'll give you that.
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:38.960
But it still gets shut down uh uh against the Vittoria and the It's a different animal.
01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:41.039
I thought I think they're totally different animals.
01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:46.560
And I fucking love I rode here the Vittoria on the highway at 70, and the bike's happy as a fucking clam.
01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:52.880
It's very happy, and then it scooters its way through the city because you're on this bike that has the turning radius of like anything.
01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:53.359
Yeah.
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:54.720
Oh, I love that fucking bike.
01:16:54.800
--> 01:16:56.159
Yeah, it's such a good bike.
01:16:56.479 --> 01:17:00.640
I I have I have nothing but respect for the Vittoria 450.
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:07.680
I will say it continues, and everybody I've sold one to, everybody I've sold one to has been like, dude, this fucking bike.
01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:13.760
Yeah, every single person I've sold one to has been like, dude, here's me six feet in the air on a Vittoria 450.
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:16.079
I'm like, I didn't tell you you couldn't do it.
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:17.520
Just be brave.
01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:21.279
If I wasn't a motorcycle addict, there's really no other reason to have another bike.
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:22.560
Ah You know what I'm saying?
01:17:23.039 --> 01:17:23.840
Oh, it's one of those bikes.
01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:31.359
It is, it just makes everything, but I will say it took me 215 times, but I finally got the handlebars where I didn't know like a fucking weird perfectionist.
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:32.479
I am, but now they're there.
01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:36.319
I got I adapt to the motorcycle I'm on because I'm the meat bag.
01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:40.479
Yeah, but I if I'm gonna take it and do things, it has to fit, you know, it has to fit.
01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:41.760
But then I think I got it set up.
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:42.720
I got a perfect little bit.
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:52.880
I've ridden a lot of your motorcycles that you've touched and put your you know, your dick beaters on, and and they're always identically like you have them dialed to the sleepy position.
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:53.279
Right.
01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:57.199
And your clutch is always set up wrong, but you like it that way, so I'm not gonna.
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:00.239
I know I know believe me.
01:18:00.319 --> 01:18:05.920
I get that's right, because I can engage any part of the friction zone that I look again, yeah.
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:06.960
It works for you.
01:18:07.199 --> 01:18:09.359
There's reasoning, but I like two fingers.
01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:10.159
I do too.
01:18:10.239 --> 01:18:10.960
I use two fingers.
01:18:11.039 --> 01:18:14.000
I like two fingers, and I like the two fingers just be like snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.
01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:16.239
An occasion, if I was drunk back in the day, three would be a few.
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:17.119
Three fingers, you know.
01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:18.319
Yeah, that's it.
01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:20.000
But two fingers to get the job done.
01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:22.720
The uh manual extraction is what that's called.
01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:33.520
The uh but it is funny, it's like, yeah, when you always set your bikes up perfectly, and meanwhile, I will like all right, headlights pointing that way, taillights pointing that way.
01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:34.000
Good enough for me.
01:18:34.239 --> 01:18:37.520
See, what happens is like I like being really in control of the bike.
01:18:37.600 --> 01:18:42.399
Yeah, and
if the bars don't feel right and they're not doing the thing, then I don't feel like I'm riding right.
01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:46.399
So I have to keep going back, forth, up until it gets just right where it needs to be.
01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:54.399
But now that it's there, and then I added a$38 uh gel, not a gel, it's like a one of those new air hock pad that kind of thing.
01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:56.159
But it is gel made, but it's different.
01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:57.119
I don't know how to explain it.
01:18:57.279 --> 01:18:57.840
It's a gel pad.
01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:00.960
But it's like the it's a bootleg of the$150 ones, whatever.
01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:05.119
But it just covers the back of that that split seam.
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:05.439
Yeah.
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:08.239
And then it gave me an extra half an inch to an inch.
01:19:08.479 --> 01:19:09.359
Fucking perfect.
01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:12.000
I I've I spent two, three hours in the saddle the other day.
01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:13.039
No fucking problems.
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:14.159
Oh, I love that bike.
01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:15.279
It's a gel pad.
01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:16.319
It's a gel pad.
01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:17.199
It's a gel pad.
01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:18.239
Yeah, it's a gel pad.
01:19:18.479 --> 01:19:21.199
Well, it's a hexa something.
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:22.880
I don't want to call it the wrong thing, though.
01:19:23.520 --> 01:19:23.920
Why?
01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:31.359
I don't care if it's a gel pad, but it's not like it's not like a sausage, like where it's just like a solid fucking No, it's a gel pad.
01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:32.560
We're familiar with the concept.
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:32.960
Okay.
01:19:33.119 --> 01:19:34.000
It's a piece of span cover.
01:19:35.119 --> 01:19:35.840
It's a gel pad.
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:38.800
I finally hit the age.
01:19:38.880 --> 01:19:40.720
Maybe I'll get one of those donuts for my car, too.
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:41.439
So my book is.
01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:43.279
It is a slab of ass meat.
01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:44.079
It's a gel pad.
01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:45.439
Well, it fucking works great.
01:19:46.079 --> 01:19:47.520
Jesus Christ, it's a gel pad.
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:50.640
Gel pads are rustic.
01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:51.840
It just got bummed.
01:19:54.000 --> 01:19:55.520
No, no, it just looks that way.
01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:56.159
I'm sorry.
01:19:56.800 --> 01:19:57.279
Tacos.
01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:01.119
Oh man.
01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:03.520
Yes, it's more than just a gel pad.
01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:06.319
It does have a matrix of gel.
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:08.239
It's not just a I don't know.
01:20:08.319 --> 01:20:08.800
I don't care.
01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:11.199
I'm not like I'm not endorsing the product.
01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:13.279
I'm just saying I thought it was called something else.
01:20:13.359 --> 01:20:15.119
It was like a hexagonal jack.
01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:21.760
Get off your lazy fucker desk, walk outside, take a picture of it, bring it back in, and we'll all look and we'll know then.
01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:23.119
I hate every one of you guys.
01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:24.319
We love you though.
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:35.439
I will say though, as a person who just bought their very own bike, it's very cool to have your very own thing in your garage and customize it the way you want.
01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:37.359
Pride of ownership.
01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:38.399
Yeah, pride of ownership.
01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:39.600
Make that shit your own.
01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:41.520
You are packing a lot of education.
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:54.239
You go out there and smoke a beer and drink a cigarette and just play with your motorcycle and clean it up a little bit and you know do your thing.
01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:56.880
In the garage by yourself with some music on.
01:20:56.960 --> 01:20:57.760
It's pretty nice.
01:20:58.000 --> 01:20:58.319
Yeah, yeah.
01:20:59.279 --> 01:21:08.319
That's that is you've now wandered into the world of the potential Cleveland motor listener, where they're like, Yeah, I love having this on the garage when I'm out working on my bikes.
01:21:08.479 --> 01:21:09.199
Like, you're lying.
01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:10.319
You haven't worked on any bikes.
01:21:10.479 --> 01:21:12.159
I I just I just thought of something kind of awesome.
01:21:12.239 --> 01:21:14.079
So you go to Athens, is what you're saying, you're going down there?
01:21:14.640 --> 01:21:15.199
I'll hire you.
01:21:15.439 --> 01:21:16.079
We we like that.
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:16.720
Like, that's cool.
01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:17.840
There's a lot of hippies down there.
01:21:18.000 --> 01:21:18.479
Yeah, there are.
01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:20.720
So I could see her getting on a bike someday with some dude.
01:21:20.800 --> 01:21:23.680
They're going on a nice little, you know, little lunch date, right?
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:24.000
Right.
01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:26.159
Bike breaks down, he's like, I don't know what to do.
01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:27.279
She's like, step aside.
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:27.920
I got this.
01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:28.319
Yeah.
01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:29.520
It's gonna be fucking great.
01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:30.800
Fuck yeah.
01:21:31.359 --> 01:21:31.680
Fuck.
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:32.800
Okay, look.
01:21:33.199 --> 01:21:40.319
I wouldn't trust any Merritt wasn't certain that I was the man for her until that noise.
01:21:40.479 --> 01:21:40.960
Yeah.
01:21:41.279 --> 01:21:51.199
When that noise hit, when she heard a g when she heard a Gerber being unleashed and I fixed her shit, she was like, Matt who?
01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:52.079
Yeah.
01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:53.840
So so you're gonna find this funny.
01:21:54.079 --> 01:21:56.880
That ex-boyfriend lost a lot of traction.
01:21:57.039 --> 01:21:58.239
I mean, they were pinned.
01:21:58.479 --> 01:21:59.520
You got yours on you?
01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:00.720
She
got her gerber?
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:02.479
No, I'm she's not on the clock.
01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:03.600
I'm not on the clock.
01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:04.960
I wore my comfy pants.
01:22:05.279 --> 01:22:08.640
I'm in I'm in the driveway the other day.
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:10.319
No shit.
01:22:11.039 --> 01:22:12.960
Something happened, something needed to be worked on.
01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:14.239
Something happened.
01:22:14.319 --> 01:22:14.640
Yeah.
01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:16.960
And she did the exact same thing.
01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:19.520
And I was like, holy shit, you have been hanging out with Phil too long.
01:22:19.680 --> 01:22:26.399
No, I came into the shop the other day and she had on cutoff BDU trousers and a black t-shirt and sambas.
01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:27.760
And I was like, oh fuck.
01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:30.640
Well, I kind of looked in the ska the other day.
01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:35.039
I'm like, shit, we're gonna catch a whole other wave of ska in fucking Athens.
01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:50.079
That fucking Gerber tool will save you five to ten thousand steps a day just by the fact that you've got all that right there on your hip, and you don't have to walk in and go grab a screwdriver, or walk in and grab a pair of pliers, or walk in and get a knife, or walk, you know, like you got it right in the room.
01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:55.119
When I heard Wendy Crockett clean a carburetor right there with just a Gerber tool.
01:22:55.359 --> 01:23:03.359
When I heard Wendy Crockett talking about her outbacker multi-tool, like the outbacker, I'm gonna make it very clear.
01:23:03.600 --> 01:23:17.680
Well, no, but I I as an out I was standing there listening to you guys talk at one point about things, and like I love the fact that like there was an argument going on about multi-tools, but then the best was a third party comes in and goes, You're talking about the 728 or the 1442.
01:23:18.159 --> 01:23:18.960
Exactly.
01:23:19.359 --> 01:23:20.880
So throw this up, sleepy.
01:23:21.680 --> 01:23:23.199
This is what Wendy's talking about.
01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:24.880
We sell the we sell these at the shop.
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:25.439
Oh yeah.
01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:25.680
Okay.
01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:27.279
I've got one of those in the back floating around some.
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:27.920
Yeah, you do.
01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:29.279
You should have a couple of them, right?
01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:31.119
You more than one, Tom.
01:23:31.279 --> 01:23:31.680
Right.
01:23:32.399 --> 01:23:35.359
And the funny part is I have like one of everything, but Phil can never find it.
01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:36.239
Tom has two of them.
01:23:36.319 --> 01:23:38.640
There's one sitting in the one he lost a week ago.
01:23:38.720 --> 01:23:40.159
Um the other one that he lost.
01:23:41.359 --> 01:23:42.479
I still can't find the eight millimeter.
01:23:42.720 --> 01:23:43.039
It's weird.
01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:44.479
These are 20 bucks.
01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:46.800
These are 20 fucking whole dollars.
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:53.920
If you don't own one of these, if you don't have this on your motorcycle, in lieu of a toolbox, in lieu of a tool bag.
01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:56.239
This is the one cheat code.
01:23:56.399 --> 01:24:00.560
This one thing, it's from Cruise Tools, Z-R-U-Z, like Santa Cruz.
01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:03.359
Um, Cruise Tools Outback R.
01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:08.960
That's why everyone calls it an Outbacker, but it's the Outback er uh M14.
01:24:09.359 --> 01:24:11.199
It's like it's an unsponsored endorsement.
01:24:11.520 --> 01:24:12.479
This is completely.
01:24:12.560 --> 01:24:15.520
I will contact Cruise Tools next week about my sponsorship.
01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:16.239
Okay.
01:24:16.560 --> 01:24:23.600
But here's what I want to make sure you understand is that this has an 8 mil, a 10 mil, and a 12 mil socket.
01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:26.880
Here's the trick you can ditch the 12 mil.
01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:28.960
You're almost never gonna use it.
01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:30.960
Yeah, but for some reason you're gonna need a 13.
01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:37.199
But the 13 for sure, and the 13, when you throw away the 12 mil, the 13 socket fits in the 12 mil slot.
01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:38.880
And it still works.
01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:42.479
It has a 13 mil and a 14 mil open end wrench on it.
01:24:42.640 --> 01:24:46.640
It's got three different spoke wrenches, which is too too many, right?
01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:47.279
But it does.
01:24:47.439 --> 01:24:49.680
It has three different spoke wrenches on that cocksucker.
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:57.520
It has every hex head you'll need to take apart any Italian or you know Japanese motorcycle.
01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:05.359
If I have to have a complaint about it, it's because they under fucking the Phillips head on this thing is special needs.
01:25:05.680 --> 01:25:08.000
Um it's not too sharp.
01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:08.880
Oh shit.
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:10.720
I just got a text message from Piper.
01:25:10.880 --> 01:25:11.439
Oh, you did?
01:25:11.680 --> 01:25:13.359
Is Sarah on the podcast?
01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:15.760
She's got her own Gerber tool and I don't.
01:25:16.399 --> 01:25:19.600
Ohchie.
01:25:20.079 --> 01:25:20.880
Hey, hey.
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:23.119
I perks are working at the shop.
01:25:23.279 --> 01:25:25.920
Yeah, I got I got it for free and it was awesome.
01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:27.520
Best tool I've ever had.
01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:30.159
Yeah, we try to make sure everybody has a Gerber tool.
01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:31.680
Tom, did you get a Gerber tool?
01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:31.920
No.
01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:33.039
I didn't give you a Gerber tool.
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:34.000
No, I assumed you had it.
01:25:34.079 --> 01:25:34.399
There is a tool.
01:25:34.479 --> 01:25:35.600
I'll make sure I'm gonna remedy that.
01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:36.239
You know what I have?
01:25:36.479 -->
01:25:37.680
You know what I have in the back of the shop?
01:25:37.760 --> 01:25:38.560
Yeah, all the tools.
01:25:38.720 --> 01:25:39.119
All the tools.
01:25:39.199 --> 01:25:39.600
But I can't.
01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:44.479
Gamber does have a cheap multi-tool in her life, but she probably could use something better.
01:25:45.039 --> 01:25:47.359
The one tool that I had, my brother gave it to me.
01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:49.920
I had it for like a minute and then it got lost.
01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:52.640
Oh it was a vice grip gerber tool.
01:25:52.720 --> 01:26:00.399
Like it was like it wasn't Gerber, but it was like a set of vice grips that had all the same kind of things that a Gerber has, but it was a vice grip.
01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:07.119
So just so you guys know, that's a thing that exactly exit existed, but it doesn't exist anymore.
01:26:07.359 --> 01:26:16.399
So if you can lay your hands on them, they're about 150 bucks right now, and they were made by Do It, the Vice Grip Company.
01:26:16.800 --> 01:26:20.159
So the Vice Grip Company actually made this fucking tool.
01:26:20.319 --> 01:26:25.039
And if you can lay one, if you can lay your hands on one, this is the real deal.
01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:27.439
And it is a real vice grip.
01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:28.640
That's what it was like.
01:26:29.359 --> 01:26:30.079
It was so cool.
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:31.359
It had everything on the hands.
01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:32.960
It is a multiple fucking cool.
01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:34.319
Yeah.
01:26:34.479 --> 01:26:41.600
So if you can lay your hands on one of these, they are rare as hens teeth, but they are super, super slick if you can lay your hands on one.
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:42.880
I owned it for like a day.
01:26:43.199 --> 01:26:43.840
Oh, did you really?
01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:46.319
I've been like, it just somehow it instantly vanished.
01:26:46.399 --> 01:26:48.159
I'm like, so this is the fakey fake one.
01:26:49.439 --> 01:26:52.640
So here's the knockoff one, if you want, if you want to get one.
01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:54.960
These are 25 whole dollars.
01:26:55.359 --> 01:26:55.840
That looks like a big one.
01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:57.600
So you can you can buy a couple of them.
01:26:57.680 --> 01:26:59.039
They're not they're not real expensive.
01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:01.199
Didn't Irwin end up with Stanley cards.
01:27:01.279 --> 01:27:01.840
But it's an Irwin.
01:27:01.920 --> 01:27:02.479
I mean, Irwin's.
01:27:02.720 --> 01:27:03.520
But they bought Stanley.
01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:03.920
They did.
01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:04.960
Irwin bought Stanley.
01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:07.199
I think they might.
01:27:07.279 --> 01:27:07.520
Yeah.
01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:09.520
Alright, so that's not a shit tool or anything.
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:12.960
It's not it's not as good as the actual Vice Grip Prank.
01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:17.039
You get a stabber and you get a a uh hex head holder.
01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:17.920
And a bottle opener.
01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:18.479
Yeah.
01:27:18.640 --> 01:27:19.680
Yeah, that's what you get.
01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:20.159
It's not much.
01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:23.520
Oh, so you gotta take a whole you have to pair that with like a bit set or something.
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:25.119
Yeah, there's not much going on there.
01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:25.600
Right.
01:27:25.840 --> 01:27:32.159
There's a hex bit holder and there's a decent blade, like a clip point blade with a little sheep suit at the bottom of it.
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:32.640
It's not bad.
01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:33.840
But it's still vice grips.
01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:34.079
Yeah.
01:27:34.239 --> 01:27:35.119
It's still vice grips.
01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:36.399
It still gets the job done.
01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:44.720
And if you're gonna buy a pair of fucking vice grips for 25 bucks, might as well, you know, get this with a little extra zhuzh on it, as Sean would say.
01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:47.680
So, you know, get a little extra zhuzh, not a bad thing.
01:27:47.920 --> 01:27:51.520
But yeah, I am a fucking fiend of multi-tools.
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:54.640
I mean, I am oh way deep into them.
01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:56.399
You love all your tools.
01:27:56.560 --> 01:27:57.600
I do love all my tools.
01:27:57.760 --> 01:27:59.600
I'm very, I'm always very excited.
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:02.000
About the opportunity to have a new tool.
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:03.199
What you got?
01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:04.399
Okay, K.
01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:05.119
Willen.
01:28:05.359 --> 01:28:05.439
K.
01:28:05.920 --> 01:28:07.119
I'm sorry, KW Lion.
01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:08.720
So it's like Kenworth Lion.
01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:10.239
I've been a mechanic most of my life.
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:12.399
I carry real tools made with real metal.
01:28:12.560 --> 01:28:16.000
I had one of those given to me and gave it to somebody who didn't know better.
01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:19.359
Let me tell you a little bit about real tools made of real iron.
01:28:19.760 --> 01:28:29.119
Unlike the 17 Leatherman tools that I have had and broken and destroyed, Gerber will send you a free cocksucker anytime you want.
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:32.640
The guys in Oregon will totally make you whole.
01:28:32.800 --> 01:28:39.680
So if you ever break a blade on this, which you can because they are, they're they're they're sharpable, right?
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:48.560
The the blades on this, you can bend the blade, a clip point blade on a leatherman, you can bend it into the shape of a banana.
01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:49.840
This will break.
01:28:50.399 --> 01:28:53.119
These blades on these things can be a little brittle.
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:57.039
And if you are reefing on the flathead screwdriver, you can break it.
01:28:57.439 --> 01:29:02.479
If you're reefing on the file, like using it as a wedge or a pry bar, you can break it.
01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:05.520
The leatherman blades will bend like a
banana.
01:29:06.079 --> 01:29:13.199
My SOG tools, I've got a couple of SOGs, they are kind of a happy medium between the brittleness and the bendableness.
01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:20.720
But my problem I have with the SOGs is ergonomically speaking, they don't fly right to hand, they don't open like this.
01:29:21.359 --> 01:29:28.239
When I need a pair of players, it's because I'm holding something dangerous in my right hand and I need to choke the shit out of it with my left hand.
01:29:28.479 --> 01:29:31.600
I've tried choking the shit out of it with my fingers and they weren't strong enough.
01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:33.199
So now I need pliers.
01:29:33.760 --> 01:29:40.720
And the deployment system of the Gerber system, like literally being able to snap it, I have mine locked right now, but being able to snap it.
01:29:40.800 --> 01:29:44.960
And then I went crazy on this one because it has the center drive screwdriver, right?
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:46.960
So this one cost legit money.
01:29:47.039 --> 01:29:50.560
This is you know 120 bucks or something for the the the big daddy.
01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:55.119
But the carbide blades on this will cut through just about anything.
01:29:55.359 --> 01:29:55.920
Who's this?
01:29:56.000 --> 01:29:56.800
Kay Willen.
01:29:56.880 --> 01:29:58.880
I well go chase a you know what?
01:29:58.960 --> 01:30:00.239
Go chase a Matco truck.
01:30:00.399 --> 01:30:01.039
There you go.
01:30:01.199 --> 01:30:01.359
Right.
01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:04.319
Go call Matco because you need a real steel tool.
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:07.359
But that's but that's cool if you want to do a real steel tool.
01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:11.199
I mean, you're not gonna take a giant pile of tools on your motorcycle.
01:30:11.359 --> 01:30:11.600
Right.
01:30:11.680 --> 01:30:13.680
And you can, I guess if you really want to get to it.
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:17.039
What he's probably talking about, if you look up here, is the Leatherman crunch.
01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:20.000
And I found three different ways to break this fucking thing.
01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:21.279
Well, here's the thing, too.
01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:24.960
And here's the thing Leathermen wouldn't send me a new one when I broke their shit.
01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:26.880
Well, you know, no, because they break.
01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:29.760
And they're I get it.
01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:30.239
I get it.
01:30:30.319 --> 01:30:34.800
You're a mechanic and you're in the shop and you're standing there and you're none of us know anything about your toolbox.
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:37.920
But the asymmetrical nature of running your shop, right?
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:42.960
Where it's you might be working in the shop on a bike, but you might run out to the parking lot to prep a battery, right?
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:49.279
To take a part, or you know, like there's field triage, there's like just like you need to be able to fix things anywhere you are, anytime you are.
01:30:49.520
--> 01:30:52.960
He said, Johnny Mack, cheap vice grips don't make good hammers.
01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:56.399
Leatherman tools are crap, and good tools rust.
01:30:56.560 --> 01:30:56.800
You know what?
01:30:56.880 --> 01:30:58.800
You know what good tools rust.
01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:02.560
I am going out of the middle here and everything makes a good hammer.
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:04.239
People's gotta cut a use.
01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:07.680
Your tools are junk if they rust.
01:31:07.840 --> 01:31:08.159
Uh-oh.
01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:09.600
Johnny Mack's getting mad.
01:31:10.159 --> 01:31:10.560
I don't care.
01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:12.319
Settle down, settle down.
01:31:12.399 --> 01:31:14.479
He's obviously a Victorinox man.
01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:15.359
Oh boy.
01:31:15.600 --> 01:31:17.359
Well, I'll do it.
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:19.359
The only thing that goes in my pocket has red handles.
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:21.039
Hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.
01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:23.279
The best tools, no fucking shit.
01:31:23.439 --> 01:31:26.479
The best tools come out of the trunk of BMWs.
01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:28.000
They say Heiko down the fucking side.
01:31:28.399 --> 01:31:29.199
Heyko down the side.
01:31:29.279 --> 01:31:30.640
That's exactly right.
01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:35.920
The best tool I've ever had was an 810 Heiko stolen of fucking Mercedes.
01:31:36.159 --> 01:31:38.319
Stolen out of the back of a Mercedes.
01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:48.960
In fact, if you got a tool belt that is an old Mercedes seatbelt and everything on your tool belt is stolen out of the trunk of a Merc or a BMW, you're in my team.
01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:50.479
Fucking Heiko, baby.
01:31:51.439 --> 01:31:53.600
If I can afford a set of Heikos, I'd buy a Mercedes.
01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:55.199
Otherwise, I'd just steal them in the junkyard.
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:00.880
What is that Gerber tool?
01:32:01.279 --> 01:32:02.560
Mine's a center drive.
01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:05.359
So mine is the the kind of all of them.
01:32:05.680 --> 01:32:09.520
So they this is the made, actual made in America.
01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:12.560
So I'll give you the There you go, Kay Wilson.
01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:15.119
Made in a fucking America steel tool.
01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:16.880
It's the give me a second.
01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:18.000
I'll I'll tell you exactly what's mine.
01:32:18.239 --> 01:32:18.880
It's Gerber.
01:32:18.960 --> 01:32:19.840
You don't like Gerber?
01:32:20.000 --> 01:32:20.800
Well, Gerber is.
01:32:21.039 --> 01:32:22.000
They make the best baby tool.
01:32:22.560 --> 01:32:26.079
I don't I have the I don't have my Gerber tool that you gave me on my 30th birthday.
01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:27.119
On your 30th birthday.
01:32:27.199 --> 01:32:31.039
That also came with the Gerber skeletonized knife, which I still have the knife somewhere.
01:32:31.199 --> 01:32:31.600
Oh, cool.
01:32:31.760 --> 01:32:32.960
And I don't know why I don't have that.
01:32:33.039 --> 01:32:33.760
That Gerber's somewhere.
01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:40.399
So this one if you just attach it to your belt, man.
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:46.479
If you're looking for it, it's a brass pro Bass Pro Shops has them for I think$150,$160.
01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:58.159
Um, it's the center drive, but it's the the the one that you're hunting for, really, you know, the one that the one that kind of has all the fun shit on it, is going to come with a bit set.
01:32:58.319 --> 01:33:02.000
So it holds all your standard hex built bits in the center drive part.
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:08.720
The the pliers do snatch out of the middle, so you still have the Gerber one-handed flick it open action.
01:33:08.880 --> 01:33:18.479
Uh my my beef with this thing is ultimately there's this weird extra bit holder on the outside of it that doesn't need to be there that like holds one extra bit.
01:33:18.560 --> 01:33:20.640
You could put one extra hex head bit in there.
01:33:20.800 --> 01:33:25.119
But if that thing is in the down position, then you cannot get full clamping.
01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:28.640
So if you got to pull like a nose hair out, you can't pull a nose hair out.
01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:31.439
If that clamp, if that little extra bit holder is in the down position.
01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:37.199
So if you want to fold that out of the way, then you can give them the clamps, boss.
01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:39.520
Um, but that is the deal.
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:45.520
And so if you're if you're hunting and you want to know what it is, it's the center drive multi-tool.
01:33:45.920 --> 01:33:51.119
Uh and they come in black finish, you can get it in a uh stainless finish as well.
01:33:51.199 --> 01:33:51.600
Oh, yeah.
01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:52.640
That's what it is.
01:33:52.800 --> 01:33:54.399
Um, and I've seen them cheaper.
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:55.760
You can buy a cheaper version.
01:33:55.920 --> 01:34:11.119
The reason I buy the Gerber is because if you break one blade on this thing, no questions asked, you mail it off to Oregon, they mail you a brand new one, and they give you a free sheath, a brand new sheath with it, and sometimes they'll give you a free bit holder too.
01:34:11.359 --> 01:34:12.720
My sheath could use some cleaning.
01:34:12.960 --> 01:34:14.560
My sheath has seen some better days.
01:34:14.800 --> 01:34:15.199
Yep.
01:34:15.439 --> 01:34:17.600
And so, yeah, I've kind of I like this.
01:34:17.760 --> 01:34:20.800
The Gerber center drive for me has been a good investment.
01:34:21.039 --> 01:34:22.800
They have some other things that are in the center.
01:34:23.119 --> 01:34:33.119
The reason for the center drive, the reason making such a big deal about it is every multi-tool in the world, when you pull out the Phillips head or the flathead screwdriver, it's on either the left side or the right side of the tool.
01:34:33.840 --> 01:34:45.920
On the Gerber center drive, this the the screwdriver bit, or you want
to put a T15 or T20 in there if you're weird or whatever, um, you are using this and it is perfectly in line.
01:34:46.479 --> 01:34:48.880
So it is neither left nor right, it is center.
01:34:49.119 --> 01:34:54.800
So when you are working with this tool, you are not turning it on an oblique angle.
01:34:55.039 --> 01:35:06.399
So I wonder if dude would be okay if you had uh Milwaukee andor snap on bits and then just put them in the tool because then what's touching I do so that's yeah, so then if it's touching my instrument, right?
01:35:06.479 --> 01:35:21.039
And so my bit set that I have is literally for the shit I work with, so it's got a T5, a T10, a T15, a T25, hex heads from M6, you know, M6 hexes down into like the things I actually use in the shop are in my carrier.
01:35:21.199 --> 01:35:21.520
There you go.
01:35:21.680 --> 01:35:31.600
And I bought really nice hex bits from you know good reputable brands so that you know we could kind of the good stuff like Harbor Freight.
01:35:31.760 --> 01:35:33.039
Like Harbor Freight, right?
01:35:33.199 --> 01:35:33.600
Exactly.
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:38.399
So we could have the ones that we needed, so I could have my Gerber that I carry every day.
01:35:38.560 --> 01:35:40.640
And don't get me wrong, this is a heavy cocksucker.
01:35:41.039 --> 01:35:50.159
And if you compare this to the Gen 1 Gerber that didn't have the locking, like the locking blades and everything else, that was you know, a little more like a leatherman.
01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:57.680
Uh the Gen 1 Gerbers are beautiful, they're smooth and they're small, like like they're they're the size of like a little bit bigger than a big lighter.
01:35:58.239 --> 01:35:59.039
And they're pretty magical.
01:35:59.520 --> 01:36:03.359
I said I told Piper because she was like, Why does Sarah has a Gerber and I don't?
01:36:03.520 --> 01:36:05.199
I'm like, you gotta earn one from Phil.
01:36:05.520 --> 01:36:07.760
Oh wow.
01:36:08.159 --> 01:36:09.119
Summer internship.
01:36:09.359 --> 01:36:09.840
There you go.
01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:10.399
Yeah.
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:15.520
And it's it is a thing, and everybody's like, if you talk to Adam Savage from Mythbusters, right?
01:36:15.680 --> 01:36:21.199
He's got very strong opinions on why he likes the particular multi-tool that he carries.
01:36:21.439 --> 01:36:24.800
And I have strong opinions about why I have the multi-tool that I carry.
01:36:25.119 --> 01:36:32.560
I have probably seven or eight different multi-tools that I rotate and I'll carry from day to day.
01:36:32.800 --> 01:36:37.520
Now it just so happens, after 40 years of experience, they're all Gerbers.
01:36:38.000 --> 01:36:43.520
Remember, the army, I was part of the group in the army that got given the very first round of Leathermans.
01:36:44.239 --> 01:36:45.920
We we were the test subjects.
01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:48.159
They handed us leathermans for free.
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:53.039
And some people kept them,
and some people thought this is a great idea and went and bought a Gerber.
01:36:53.279 --> 01:36:53.680
You know?
01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:55.199
So I bought a Gerber.
01:36:55.680 --> 01:37:03.359
Now, do I agree that Gerber has had some questionable changes in their ownership or had some questionable changes in some of the stuff they build?
01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:04.319
Sure, I do.
01:37:04.720 --> 01:37:05.840
Yeah, absolutely.
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:15.199
Um I just think that the center drive is because one-handed opening and because real a real screwdriver that you can really ref on shit with.
01:37:15.439 --> 01:37:17.760
And I've never broken a center drive ever.
01:37:18.079 --> 01:37:21.039
And I use it on some pretty shit, some pretty heavy shit.
01:37:21.600 --> 01:37:24.319
But Tom, but Mecklefresh is right.
01:37:24.640 --> 01:37:32.800
It saves you fucking seven hours a week of being like, I'm here, the problem is here, but my tools are there.
01:37:33.680 --> 01:37:40.079
And I can't imagine what my Batman utility belt would look like if I tried to EDC everything that the Gerber replaces.
01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:45.119
If I was still a mechanic at Pride, and I was actually thinking of doing this when I was in radio repair, yeah.
01:37:45.279 --> 01:37:46.720
I was gonna have the tool vest.
01:37:46.880 --> 01:37:47.039
Yeah.
01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:48.640
Where it was Hell yeah, man.
01:37:48.800 --> 01:37:51.279
I was gonna throw on a vest, and I was gonna have like a bunch of different tools.
01:37:51.439 --> 01:37:52.319
You could be John Popper.
01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:53.920
I would just have a bunch of different tools on the bottom.
01:37:54.079 --> 01:37:55.039
Full of harmonicas.
01:37:56.000 --> 01:38:00.399
Yeah, for the longest time I've wanted like a tool belt, you know, like a carpenter.
01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:03.119
Because you're a super person, you need a utility belt.
01:38:03.359 --> 01:38:03.600
I know.
01:38:03.840 --> 01:38:05.119
Dun dun dun.
01:38:05.439 --> 01:38:09.439
I do all the I do all the house handy handy person stuff.
01:38:09.760 --> 01:38:10.079
Yeah.
01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:14.159
But then sometimes I'm not like skilled enough and it turns out like really bad.
01:38:14.399 --> 01:38:14.880
It's okay.
01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:17.600
I drilled like six holes in our wall once.
01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:18.159
Oh, really?
01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:19.520
Yeah, I did a hang a hang up.
01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:20.720
I still do that.
01:38:20.800 --> 01:38:21.359
That's what toothpaste.
01:38:21.600 --> 01:38:23.279
Sunday we're doing sump pump training at my house.
01:38:23.359 --> 01:38:24.079
It'll be fun.
01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:26.479
No biggie.
01:38:26.640 --> 01:38:27.279
No biggie.
01:38:27.520 --> 01:38:29.199
Got a nice American-made sump pump.
01:38:29.279 --> 01:38:29.600
Yep.
01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:32.000
So it's since it's Girl Power Day.
01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:32.479
Is it?
01:38:32.640 --> 01:38:34.159
Well, apparently, because you know Sarah's.
01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:35.840
I'm not wearing my feminist shirt.
01:38:36.159 --> 01:38:36.239
Okay.
01:38:37.119 --> 01:38:38.079
Hey, I am.
01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:39.279
You are.
01:38:39.439 --> 01:38:39.760
Yeah.
01:38:40.720 --> 01:38:42.560
Because Missy got so much shit over this.
01:38:42.640 --> 01:38:43.520
I'm like, no, fuck that.
01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:44.319
Bring that in pink.
01:38:44.479 --> 01:38:44.800
Again.
01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:45.119
Yeah.
01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:47.600
Fuck that shit.
01:38:47.680 --> 01:38:48.399
I want it in pink.
01:38:48.560 --> 01:38:51.520
Um, sorry, your mid-Ohio Vintage Day shirt isn't macho enough.
01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:52.159
Oh, I know.
01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:54.479
You have a you have a raccoon and a tutu.
01:38:55.279 --> 01:38:56.239
It's fucking amazing.
01:38:56.479 --> 01:38:57.119
I fucking love it.
01:38:57.439 --> 01:38:58.079
Here, can we get it?
01:38:58.319 --> 01:38:59.439
Yeah, it's amazing.
01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:00.960
Yeah, it's fucking great.
01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:02.560
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
01:39:02.800 --> 01:39:04.239
Missy put that up on the AMA board.
01:39:04.479 --> 01:39:06.319
Like everybody was like, it's not manly enough.
01:39:06.399 --> 01:39:10.000
So I posted a bunch of crazy shit with like skulls and guns and flames and bullshit.
01:39:10.079 --> 01:39:12.479
And so I got I got cucked at the AMA.
01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:17.680
My wife got double teamed and fucking Eiffel Towered and shit.
01:39:17.840 --> 01:39:19.439
And nobody thought it was funny.
01:39:19.680 --> 01:39:25.119
I watched my wife burn the tire off my motorcycle in Captain's Corners, and all I got was this stupid t-shirt.
01:39:25.279 --> 01:39:25.760
Yeah.
01:39:26.800 --> 01:39:30.880
But I wanted to bring up so Ivy, who's hung out with us now for Ivy.
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:33.439
So three years ago, didn't know how to ride.
01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:33.760
Right.
01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:38.319
End of that that season, she was riding a four-speed SSR.
01:39:38.399 --> 01:39:38.640
Yeah.
01:39:38.720 --> 01:39:39.359
Oh, instantly.
01:39:39.439 --> 01:39:39.600
Yeah.
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:42.560
Next year, she was tearing around the SSR.
01:39:42.640 --> 01:39:43.039
In the deep end.
01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:45.439
And then doing wheelies and then barrel racing.
01:39:46.399 --> 01:39:49.520
This year, she's jumping your scooter over fire.
01:39:49.680 --> 01:39:49.920
Oh, yeah.
01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:50.720
No, having no problem.
01:39:50.960 --> 01:39:56.640
And then jumped in the Zorball, and we coerced her into crowd surfing, which I dropped that video today.
01:39:56.720 --> 01:40:03.600
And I'm so proud of her, and I think it's so awesome that she is shenanigan that I want to I wanted to give her something today.
01:40:03.680 --> 01:40:05.359
You want to give her a little shenanigan award?
01:40:05.520 --> 01:40:10.960
Well,
what I want to do is I want to bestow upon her the caretaking of Not a Ramp.
01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:13.439
Oh, she's going to become the Not a Ramp master.
01:40:13.680 --> 01:40:14.880
She's going to become master of the rap.
01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:15.840
I think that's a great idea.
01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:16.800
But here's the important part.
01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:17.920
Every year she can add an answer.
01:40:18.079 --> 01:40:19.119
It can not be asked for.
01:40:19.279 --> 01:40:20.800
It can only be given away from that.
01:40:21.039 --> 01:40:26.640
If something happens to this ramp, she can create a new Notaramp because she is the person now.
01:40:26.800 --> 01:40:27.359
And at some point.
01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:29.600
Does that mean you forgot it there and Anson already picked it up?
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:30.479
No, no.
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:32.960
I have it in the garage.
01:40:33.199 --> 01:40:39.279
But I I just, you know, because like she's showing up and she's doing this stuff and she's representing for the younger generation.
01:40:39.359 --> 01:40:39.439
Right.
01:40:39.680 --> 01:40:41.600
And I want the shenanigans to continue.
01:40:41.760 --> 01:40:42.000
Okay.
01:40:42.159 --> 01:40:47.119
And so I think that if if if she's the protector of Notaramp, she has earned it.
01:40:47.279 --> 01:40:47.600
Yeah.
01:40:47.760 --> 01:40:51.279
And that way the younger generation is now part of our shenanigans.
01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:57.359
And if we are no longer here, perhaps our idea is just a little bit more.
01:40:57.600 --> 01:40:59.279
I think she's going to add a two before.
01:41:00.239 --> 01:41:01.359
To Notaramp every year.
01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:05.039
I think every year she's going to add a two before.
01:41:05.680 --> 01:41:08.640
And the Notaramp's going to become like a little bit more?
01:41:08.800 --> 01:41:09.760
Yeah, a little bit more.
01:41:10.000 --> 01:41:10.880
Otherwise we're going to have to do that.
01:41:11.119 --> 01:41:16.000
I got to get a new pair of uh riding sandals because I'm a little timid about that kind of shit.
01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:20.720
I don't know if anybody would like to donate a pair of size 15 riding sandals.
01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:24.319
At least one where your big toe isn't like literally hanging out the side of whatever.
01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:32.800
And I've got to learn to smile because I looked at my picture of the flaming Nada ramp, and I'm like, You're taking it very seriously for an eight-inch launch.
01:41:32.960 --> 01:41:39.840
And then you look at the slow motion, it's like the front, the front wheel gets a little air, and then the back tire just goes, come on.
01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:42.560
I've caught bigger air leaving Aldi.
01:41:42.720 --> 01:41:47.680
Well, I'm like, well, I knew you were going to be filming, so I'm like, I'm not eating shit on this one.
01:41:48.640 --> 01:41:51.199
Dude, that one you you came down on the front wheel.
01:41:51.279 --> 01:41:52.319
I thought you were eating.
01:41:52.560 --> 01:41:54.079
Like, you did a pretty good roller.
01:41:54.159 --> 01:41:55.279
No, it was a good roller.
01:41:55.600 --> 01:41:57.039
No, I didn't I overcooked it.
01:41:57.199 --> 01:41:58.399
I came, I was like, Oh, yeah.
01:41:58.560 --> 01:42:01.359
I was like, I landed like straight up and down on the back wheel.
01:42:01.680 --> 01:42:03.680
No, there was the one time that you landed on the front wheel.
01:42:04.479 --> 01:42:05.600
So I don't jump very well.
01:42:06.079 --> 01:42:07.199
Oh, dude, nobody does.
01:42:07.279 --> 01:42:08.399
That's why not a ramp exist.
01:42:08.720 --> 01:42:16.640
I came out of Aldi the other day on a customer's bike, and I always park up by where the carts are because I don't want my bike getting hit by some car in the parking light, like Dan's bike, right?
01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:16.880
Yeah.
01:42:17.039 --> 01:42:20.720
So I always park where the shopping carts are up on the higher level.
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:22.960
So I jumped out of Aldi.
01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:27.199
I had everything I could carry in my hands, but nothing that fit under the seat of the bike.
01:42:27.439 --> 01:42:28.319
Oops.
01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:30.079
I overbought.
01:42:30.319 --> 01:42:32.239
So I overbought at Aldi.
01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:37.439
So some of the items got what it was, is it was a customer's bike, and I looked under the seat and I was surprised to find a helmet.
01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:40.079
Oh and I was planning for no helmet.
01:42:40.399 --> 01:42:41.119
It's always the worst.
01:42:41.359 --> 01:42:41.680
It is.
01:42:41.840 --> 01:42:46.560
And so I turned the helmet upside down and put the items, some of the items I had bought into the upside down helmet.
01:42:47.520 --> 01:42:49.039
My helmet smell like broccoli.
01:42:52.079 --> 01:42:54.159
And did somebody fart my helmet?
01:42:54.479 --> 01:43:00.079
I put the other items on the floorboard, right, of the scooter, kind of hold them with my feet.
01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:05.039
But then in order to get off the curb, you do kind of have to do a little, a little, a hop, a bunny hop, right?
01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:10.960
So I'm gonna bunny hop off the curb because I don't want to go off slow and then high center myself or hit the exhaust or anything.
01:43:11.279 --> 01:43:13.439
So I'll just do a quick little, you know?
01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:19.359
So I did a quick little off the curb, but I forgot that this particular bike was a 310.
01:43:19.520 --> 01:43:22.159
And so there was a little more than available.
01:43:22.319 --> 01:43:27.279
It was more like and so it did this kind of really sexy rrrr.
01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:28.479
Where is Sean for this?
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:37.840
But when it did this, camping, I ended up I ended up going about six feet into the parking lot on my little rrr session.
01:43:38.079 --> 01:43:44.079
And this dude saw me, and I'm very happy that it didn't hit him, his car, or anything else.
01:43:44.239 --> 01:43:54.720
And I executed the landing beautifully, except for all the items that were on the floorboards ejected like a James Bond fucking DB5, you know, like a little Hot Wheels toy.
01:43:54.800 --> 01:43:56.880
You press the button and just shit just goes everywhere.
01:43:57.039 --> 01:43:58.560
Rock'em sock'em robots.
01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:02.159
And when I landed, all the items on the floorboard scattered.
01:44:02.239 --> 01:44:03.439
And I was like, rutro.
01:44:03.600 --> 01:44:06.399
So I had to put the bike on the sidestand and go scoop up all my shit.
01:44:06.479 --> 01:44:07.600
But the dude was like, don't care.
01:44:07.680 --> 01:44:08.880
That was cool wheelie.
01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:10.560
I was like, thank you.
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:12.000
That was what I was going for.
01:44:12.239 --> 01:44:13.520
But I did, I overcooked it.
01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:16.800
And it is easy to overcook it on an eight-inch ramp.
01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:19.600
Like, you know, you just don't realize I like not a ramp.
01:44:19.680 --> 01:44:20.960
It's the perfect little ramp.
01:44:21.039 --> 01:44:25.199
It's like, uh, if you really wanted to get a little air, just hit it fast, but it's it's the narrate angle and everything.
01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:25.520
It's good.
01:44:25.680 --> 01:44:26.399
And you can pump it up.
01:44:26.479 --> 01:44:30.159
Like I pumped up Notter ramp a bunch of times where you can actually get a nice bounce out of it.
01:44:30.239 --> 01:44:36.000
Dude, there's some dudes that I don't know how they there were the one kid on that KX, whatever it was, was like four and a half feet in the air off Nada Ramp.
01:44:36.159 --> 01:44:41.039
Tim Burke came by on the zero, pumped up the Nada ramp, and and he went four feet up in the air.
01:44:41.600 --> 01:44:43.359
That lady with the baby strapped to her chest.
01:44:43.600 --> 01:44:44.000
Oh my god.
01:44:44.319 --> 01:44:44.880
On the e-bike.
01:44:45.199 --> 01:44:46.000
Seriously.
01:44:46.640 --> 01:44:48.800
Baby on board launched.
01:44:49.039 --> 01:44:51.359
Through the fire, seven feet in the air.
01:44:51.520 --> 01:44:54.239
Yeah, baby on board straight up fucking launched.
01:44:54.479 --> 01:45:00.720
Yeah, I can't tell you how many uh women I saw with little little like babies on the four-wheelers.
01:45:01.039 --> 01:45:01.279
I know.
01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:04.000
Oh no, the that was probably Carson Brown's girl.
01:45:04.960 --> 01:45:11.119
It was the lady on a four-wheeler who had her older daughter right behind her straight up vertical.
01:45:19.840 --> 01:45:20.319
Oh, yeah.
01:45:20.479 --> 01:45:21.520
That was hysterical.
01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:25.119
But then you have to ask yourself, child endagement or best life ever?
01:45:25.279 --> 01:45:25.600
Yes.
01:45:25.920 --> 01:45:34.640
I will say that the cute kids, little little like six-year-old kids racing on their little dirt bikes, were so cute.
01:45:35.039 -->
01:45:38.960
Especially especially that one on the PW80 that kept bringing the T wire around.
01:45:39.199 --> 01:45:40.000
Let's not undersell him.
01:45:40.079 --> 01:45:41.039
Yeah, that is a TT.
01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:42.239
That's a competition bike, right?
01:45:42.479 --> 01:45:44.399
And he literally kept bringing cardboard around the card.
01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:45.279
T Tid.
01:45:46.000 --> 01:45:48.159
T T 80 kid was like, Are you Unky Phil?
01:45:48.399 --> 01:45:49.760
And I was like, I'm Unky Phil.
01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:53.840
And he goes, My dad listens to your podcast, but we're not allowed to listen to the swears.
01:45:54.479 --> 01:45:56.720
And I was like, fucking awesome kid.
01:45:56.960 --> 01:46:01.520
There was a moment, there was a moment that I wish I could pull from, I could snap that picture.
01:46:01.680 --> 01:46:11.119
It was this toe-headed little blue-eyed kid and like a country, like you could just tell he was a country kid on his bike, and he like pulled up or something, and he was just like moving it around.
01:46:11.279 --> 01:46:14.880
He was kind of talking to himself, and I'm like, that's the cutest little thing right there.
01:46:15.199 --> 01:46:15.760
That little kid.
01:46:16.079 --> 01:46:17.039
Kid's dealing with some shit.
01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:18.880
He's riding his little bike.
01:46:19.760 --> 01:46:20.399
I like my bike.
01:46:20.479 --> 01:46:22.800
And I want to go for the city.
01:46:22.880 --> 01:46:25.520
I'm gonna have a great time, but I gotta get back and plow that back 40.
01:46:25.840 --> 01:46:26.960
He was just like, oh my god.
01:46:27.279 --> 01:46:28.800
Like that's kind of how I ride.
01:46:31.039 --> 01:46:33.119
The second divorce from Darlene is gonna be crazy.
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:36.960
Just having a great fucking time.
01:46:37.119 --> 01:46:42.159
Your crowd surfing video of uh Ivy and the Zorb is fucking delightful.
01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:42.479
Thanks.
01:46:42.960 --> 01:46:43.680
That is delightful.
01:46:44.000 --> 01:46:47.920
I really wanted to show how I think you captured the spirit of the Zorb.
01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:48.319
Yeah.
01:46:48.479 --> 01:46:52.319
Like you talk about things that should you're like, this is a good party.
01:46:52.399 --> 01:46:54.159
They're burning a tire off a bike over there.
01:46:54.319 --> 01:46:57.680
There's 97 people throwing beer and spray and shit on each other.
01:46:57.840 --> 01:46:58.560
This is great.
01:46:58.720 --> 01:46:59.840
We're having a good time.
01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:02.079
There's a naked guy with fireworks on his head.
01:47:02.239 --> 01:47:03.199
What could make it better?
01:47:03.439 --> 01:47:03.840
Zorb.
01:47:04.079 --> 01:47:04.239
Yeah.
01:47:04.399 --> 01:47:05.680
Well, what the fuck's a Zorb?
01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:08.960
Well, it's an entire inflatable ball that you put a teenager in, of course.
01:47:09.119 --> 01:47:13.039
That was my favorite part, wasn't the captain was like, he goes,
What the hell is coming up here?
01:47:13.199 --> 01:47:14.239
What is going on?
01:47:14.399 --> 01:47:16.079
Oh God, it's the FEMA guys.
01:47:16.239 --> 01:47:17.520
It's the FEMA guys.
01:47:17.760 --> 01:47:19.359
It's always the FEMA guys.
01:47:19.520 --> 01:47:20.239
You assholes.
01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:21.760
It's always Cleveland Moto.
01:47:22.079 --> 01:47:23.359
Fucking FEMA camp.
01:47:23.520 --> 01:47:30.640
Like, yeah, we're having a great old time and we're inhaling all these Carson gens, and there's half naked people, and motherfucker, these assholes again.
01:47:30.960 --> 01:47:31.359
I know.
01:47:31.600 --> 01:47:34.880
I mean, I want the burnout pit to have a better beer injection system.
01:47:35.039 --> 01:47:40.159
It's like, well, you're going up there to try to do a burnout, and then somebody pours a beer on your head.
01:47:40.239 --> 01:47:43.359
It's not like, you know, you're like, okay, I'll take a drink of beer.
01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:44.000
Right.
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:48.079
I could use a drink of beer, but instead it's just bukkake straight to the face hole.
01:47:48.319 --> 01:47:48.479
Yeah.
01:47:48.800 --> 01:47:50.479
I mean, like, give me a beer funnel.
01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:51.039
Right.
01:47:51.199 --> 01:47:54.399
Next time I'm going to go to the fucking funnel hanging out of my mouth.
01:47:55.199 --> 01:47:55.600
Yes.
01:47:56.000 --> 01:47:56.479
Exactly.
01:47:57.119 --> 01:47:58.159
You got to be careful though.
01:47:58.239 --> 01:48:03.039
If you have the bourbon furry with a hose, that fucking guy.
01:48:03.279 --> 01:48:04.560
That fucking guy.
01:48:05.119 --> 01:48:05.920
Oh, it's hysterical.
01:48:06.000 --> 01:48:07.520
We were like, what happened to the thing?
01:48:07.600 --> 01:48:13.359
And then I was in the hallway the other day, and I'm like, oh, it's in the back of the Coleman we haven't touched for a year.
01:48:13.600 --> 01:48:13.920
Oh.
01:48:15.039 --> 01:48:17.520
Like we were looking for good job, Tom.
01:48:18.239 --> 01:48:22.960
We were, I will legit tell you, if anybody said, Where's the sprayer?
01:48:23.119 --> 01:48:24.720
I would have said, back of the Coleman.
01:48:24.960 --> 01:48:27.199
Because we put the Coleman in the trailer last year.
01:48:27.359 --> 01:48:27.520
Yeah.
01:48:27.760 --> 01:48:29.359
It hasn't moved an inch.
01:48:29.680 --> 01:48:33.920
And we put the we put the irrigation sprayer.
01:48:34.079 --> 01:48:34.159
Right.
01:48:34.479 --> 01:48:36.800
We put the the sprayer into the back of the Coleman.
01:48:37.039 --> 01:48:40.000
I mean, it's like And all the other shit that was in the back of the Coleman's still in the back of the Coleman.
01:48:40.159 --> 01:48:43.279
Yeah, it's going to be fine because it's got 190,000 proof fucking alcohol.
01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:44.560
Well, so here's what's fun.
01:48:44.960 --> 01:48:46.640
Tim Hempling has an important message.
01:48:46.800 --> 01:48:47.199
Oh, oh.
01:48:47.600 --> 01:48:48.640
It's
a gel pad.
01:48:48.800 --> 01:48:50.000
It is a gel pad.
01:48:53.680 --> 01:48:57.279
What's funny is I actually needed to use the sprayer yesterday.
01:48:57.520 --> 01:49:00.000
So um you could use that, and we'll get a new one for now.
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:04.000
Well, it's okay because, you know, sometimes when oils come in super separate.
01:49:04.159 --> 01:49:08.479
Sometimes when oils get changed, some oils go into the motor and some oils go adjacent to the motor.
01:49:08.560 --> 01:49:08.720
Right?
01:49:08.960 --> 01:49:09.119
Right.
01:49:09.199 --> 01:49:09.520
It happens.
01:49:09.680 --> 01:49:12.000
And so there's this V7 that we had.
01:49:12.239 --> 01:49:18.640
And you know, the customer's a great customer, but he's not the kind of customer that's going to be okay with oils outside of his motor.
01:49:19.279 --> 01:49:19.600
Okay.
01:49:19.760 --> 01:49:21.359
Just saying that for what it's worth.
01:49:21.920 --> 01:49:28.960
So I got some, you know, I got some industrial Zepp, industrial cleaner, and I gave it and I, you know, sprayed all the oily parts.
01:49:29.279 --> 01:49:38.159
And I sprayed all the oily parts, and I was like, I need something to spray some warm water on the soapy parts to make the soapy parts take the oily parts away.
01:49:38.399 --> 01:49:42.000
And I was like, bum bum bum garden sprayer.
01:49:42.319 --> 01:49:48.960
So I grabbed the the bourbon fairy's garden sprayer and I filled it up with warm water, as one does.
01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:50.960
No, there's no battery pack on it.
01:49:51.279 --> 01:49:52.079
So it needs a battery pack.
01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:53.520
It doesn't matter though.
01:49:54.079 --> 01:49:54.960
But here's the fun.
01:49:55.359 --> 01:49:59.760
So I I put hot water in the bottom of the Bourbon Fairy sprayer.
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:02.560
And I pump, pump, pump, pump, pump.
01:50:03.039 --> 01:50:04.640
And I hit it.
01:50:04.800 --> 01:50:08.000
Well, the entire pump assembly is still full of bourbon.
01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:10.159
The hose and everything.
01:50:10.560 --> 01:50:12.479
The hose, the pump.
01:50:12.640 --> 01:50:16.000
There's about seven ounces of bourbon left in the sprayer.
01:50:16.239 --> 01:50:16.479
Nice.
01:50:16.640 --> 01:50:21.439
So I sprayed it on dude's motorcycle, which was warm from the test ride.
01:50:21.600 --> 01:50:23.840
And I was like, well, that's delicious.
01:50:25.920 --> 01:50:33.359
And my instantly, the little the little screw I have in the back of my brain that works on bourbon, my little screw in the back of my bourbon went, I should go get some bourbon.
01:50:33.520 --> 01:50:33.760
Yeah.
01:50:33.920 --> 01:50:35.520
I was like, I have a bunch of bourbon.
01:50:35.840 --> 01:50:38.000
It's a new seat conditioner we offer for all our bikes.
01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:39.600
It's called the bourbon trailer.
01:50:39.840 --> 01:50:43.359
I literally came out in the driveway and saw that puddle and I was like, oh fuck, what the hell?
01:50:43.760 --> 01:50:44.560
What is leaking?
01:50:44.720 --> 01:50:46.000
No, it was, yeah, exactly.
01:50:46.079 --> 01:50:47.359
It was just a cleanup.
01:50:48.239 --> 01:50:50.000
It was just a cleanup.
01:50:50.159 --> 01:50:51.439
And yeah, there we go.
01:50:51.520 --> 01:50:52.479
That that's it.
01:50:52.640 --> 01:50:53.600
Good for good for us.
01:50:54.640 --> 01:50:56.880
And you don't have enough Harleys to make it unbelievable.
01:51:00.000 --> 01:51:01.199
Somebody pulls in the driver and they're like, what?
01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:02.239
You start working on Harleys on this?
01:51:02.640 --> 01:51:05.199
The funny part is this year it technically wasn't the Bourbon Ferry.
01:51:05.279 --> 01:51:06.319
It was the Fireball Ferry.
01:51:06.479 --> 01:51:07.760
No, it was the Bourbon Ferry.
01:51:07.840 --> 01:51:09.119
Well, let me let me.
01:51:09.199 --> 01:51:12.800
I'm gonna I I believe that Luke and myself can give states evidence.
01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:13.359
Well, yes.
01:51:13.520 --> 01:51:16.399
There were at least eight bottles of bourbon.
01:51:16.800 --> 01:51:22.239
There was the the handle full of mixed bourbon, and then there was two.
01:51:23.279 --> 01:51:26.079
Two shooters, two squirt bottles.
01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:27.359
Fireball was an option.
01:51:27.520 --> 01:51:28.239
I have fireball.
01:51:28.399 --> 01:51:30.399
But primary was bourbon shooting.
01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:30.800
Yeah.
01:51:30.960 --> 01:51:37.520
There were two fireball options, and when we got down to nothing left but fireball, it was time to shut the party down.
01:51:37.680 --> 01:51:37.920
Yeah.
01:51:38.079 --> 01:51:38.239
Yeah.
01:51:38.399 --> 01:51:41.279
When we got down to nothing but fireball, we were like, we're walking back to the ball.
01:51:41.520 --> 01:51:44.800
And the thing is, the failure rate, like you hit fireball in somebody's eyes.
01:51:47.760 --> 01:51:51.439
Dude, a lot of people took took bourbon in the fucking eye holes.
01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:51.760
Yeah.
01:51:52.000 --> 01:51:55.439
So the the sprayer is the better delivery system.
01:51:55.920 --> 01:51:57.359
Yeah, single stream source.
01:51:57.680 --> 01:52:02.880
The sprayer, because with those bottles with the holes poked in the top of the water bottles, they go everywhere.
01:52:03.199 --> 01:52:05.920
It's like it's like you know, it's like peeing after, well, never.
01:52:06.319 --> 01:52:06.560
No.
01:52:07.199 --> 01:52:09.039
It's like the first pee when you wake up in the morning.
01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:09.520
Thank you.
01:52:09.600 --> 01:52:10.640
It goes everywhere.
01:52:10.800 --> 01:52:11.199
Yeah.
01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:12.800
Super, super something.
01:52:13.039 --> 01:52:18.079
Well, I mean, for the for the for the I kept trying to send people down to Dollar General to go get super soakers.
01:52:18.239 --> 01:52:18.640
Ah, uh.
01:52:18.880 --> 01:52:22.399
And everybody's like, yeah, we'll go to we'll go get and like it kept
getting later and later.
01:52:22.479 --> 01:52:24.239
I'm like, who the fuck is going to Dollar General?
01:52:24.399 --> 01:52:24.640
Right.
01:52:24.880 --> 01:52:25.520
And nobody went.
01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:26.960
Nobody's going to Dollar General.
01:52:27.039 --> 01:52:27.840
Are you kidding me?
01:52:28.079 --> 01:52:29.119
It'll be rectified.
01:52:29.199 --> 01:52:31.359
It'll be made a whole for next year.
01:52:31.600 --> 01:52:32.560
It'll be fine for next year.
01:52:32.640 --> 01:52:35.199
It'll we won't be even a slight inconvenience.
01:52:35.520 --> 01:52:36.960
Next year he's dual wielding.
01:52:37.439 --> 01:52:38.640
Next year, Bourbon Fairy.
01:52:39.119 --> 01:52:43.039
I believe that either I think the sprayer works good.
01:52:43.119 --> 01:52:43.439
Yeah.
01:52:43.600 --> 01:52:48.880
I think the way it is, but I do think squirter or uh garden sprayer bandolero.
01:52:49.039 --> 01:52:49.279
Yes.
01:52:49.439 --> 01:52:51.840
So I think a a nice shoulder strap.
01:52:52.239 --> 01:52:58.159
And then in the shoulder straps, we can just have little bottles of like Shanke's or Underberg or little shooters.
01:52:58.960 --> 01:53:01.279
That sounds like a job for uh Perry Security.
01:53:01.359 --> 01:53:01.600
Yes.
01:53:01.760 --> 01:53:03.840
Yes, there they're I already have such items.
01:53:03.920 --> 01:53:06.159
So I have a band, I have a beardelier, but it's a good one.
01:53:09.039 --> 01:53:09.600
Oh my god.
01:53:09.760 --> 01:53:11.920
And I mean it's only had Roundup and everything else in it.
01:53:12.640 --> 01:53:13.520
That's safe to drink, though.
01:53:13.600 --> 01:53:14.000
So you know.
01:53:14.159 --> 01:53:15.039
Yeah, Roundup's safe.
01:53:15.199 --> 01:53:16.720
Yeah, it's glycephate.
01:53:16.880 --> 01:53:17.359
Yeah, let's go.
01:53:17.600 --> 01:53:18.000
We're okay.
01:53:18.079 --> 01:53:18.479
We're fine.
01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:19.600
Yeah, that's cool.
01:53:19.840 --> 01:53:20.159
No problem.
01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:29.039
I was mentioning the Underberg bandolier to somebody at uh oh the Boston guys at uh mid-Ohio, and they're like, I'm sorry, what?
01:53:29.199 --> 01:53:31.119
I said, Yeah, they're about this size.
01:53:31.279 --> 01:53:31.920
I I have them.
01:53:32.159 --> 01:53:34.880
And every bartender in America, that's what they drink.
01:53:34.960 --> 01:53:43.760
And he's the Underberg thing is just of the promo programs, Underberg is a little tiny snorkeler like Jaegermeister is, right?
01:53:43.840 --> 01:53:45.680
It's a little tiny airport bottle.
01:53:45.840 --> 01:53:50.800
And the idea is, you know, it's uh digestive, you're supposed to have it after a meal to keep your tummy from getting upset.
01:53:50.960 --> 01:53:53.760
But the red cap on it looks like a Tabasco cap.
01:53:54.159 --> 01:53:55.760
And you save up the caps.
01:53:55.840 --> 01:54:04.000
And when you save up enough caps, you send them in and they will send you Underberg promo items, branded merchandise, you know, that Chanky's whip stuff.
01:54:04.720 --> 01:54:10.399
And so the first item though that I think everybody gets is the Underberg Bandolero.
01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:16.960
So you get the, you know, you get the Underberg Bandolero, and it's you know set up to hold like 24 bottles of Underberg.
01:54:17.520 --> 01:54:23.600
Which is 23 bottles too much because Underberg's not exactly the kind of thing you're like, that was great, let me have another one.
01:54:23.760 --> 01:54:26.560
Let's let's do 47 shots of what are you drinking under there?
01:54:26.960 --> 01:54:27.600
Underberg.
01:54:28.800 --> 01:54:51.119
I think it was very funny that um Liza, neither Liza nor Wendy could pronounce Malort in their retelling of the Malort story, where Liza admitting to giving Malort to some underage people in the most guarded of possible conditions, of course.
01:54:51.279 --> 01:54:59.279
Um, I can tell you that the Bourbon Ferry was doing a very good job of screening potential recipients.
01:54:59.520 --> 01:55:00.880
I'm not going down for that.
01:55:01.680 --> 01:55:02.960
He's not going down for that.
01:55:03.199 --> 01:55:07.680
I I bounced, I bounced last year and deferred to you.
01:55:08.079 --> 01:55:08.640
Yeah, for sure.
01:55:08.960 --> 01:55:10.640
Because I went, no, I'm not carding these fucking.
01:55:10.880 --> 01:55:12.960
They're not gonna card people for the Bourbon Ferry.
01:55:13.119 --> 01:55:14.640
I'm I like how old are you?
01:55:14.960 --> 01:55:16.000
You can't, you're 14.
01:55:16.159 --> 01:55:17.520
It was two type.
01:55:17.760 --> 01:55:21.439
There were three girls that it wasn't necessarily questionable, but I'm like, are you 21?
01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:23.359
She's like, I'm 23, I'm 26.
01:55:23.520 --> 01:55:24.159
I'm like, okay.
01:55:24.319 --> 01:55:24.960
What's that?
01:55:25.520 --> 01:55:28.079
Surely steel makes a two-stroke sprayer, right?
01:55:28.239 --> 01:55:30.560
Yeah, steel does make a fucking two-stroke.
01:55:30.800 --> 01:55:31.520
Yeah, of course they do.
01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:33.600
It was Moto Hop, of course it is.
01:55:33.760 --> 01:55:36.000
Yeah, Matt, that's a great idea.
01:55:36.239 --> 01:55:39.920
Like, I I have no problem with any of that.
01:55:40.159 --> 01:55:44.159
I think that the delivery system of the liquor, no problem.
01:55:44.319 --> 01:55:44.960
Absolutely not.
01:55:45.119 --> 01:55:45.600
You know what?
01:55:45.680 --> 01:55:47.439
Yeah, who wants to drink from the fire hose?
01:55:47.600 --> 01:55:49.039
Who wants to drink from the fire hose?
01:55:49.279 --> 01:55:51.600
Every single person wants to drink from the fire hose.
01:55:51.760 --> 01:55:52.560
That sprayer was perfect.
01:55:52.640 --> 01:55:54.399
It was like just a nice little it was.
01:55:54.479 --> 01:55:54.880
It was great.
01:55:54.960 --> 01:55:57.039
So the strayer, the squirt the sprayer will come back.
01:55:57.199 --> 01:55:58.079
Squirter will come home.
01:55:58.319 -->
01:55:58.880
It did a good thing.
01:55:59.039 --> 01:55:59.600
It was a good thing.
01:55:59.680 --> 01:56:01.359
It was absolutely perfect in every way.
01:56:01.520 --> 01:56:02.079
You got one good thing.
01:56:02.239 --> 01:56:02.800
You did one good thing.
01:56:03.039 --> 01:56:03.600
Congratulations.
01:56:03.680 --> 01:56:05.279
You got one good thing.
01:56:05.600 --> 01:56:09.840
The uh I have I really And you should be very proud of the Zorballs.
01:56:10.000 --> 01:56:11.279
The Zorballs are awesome.
01:56:11.359 --> 01:56:12.319
They're fucking fantastic.
01:56:13.279 --> 01:56:14.319
I had a vision on that one.
01:56:14.479 --> 01:56:15.039
You did have a vision.
01:56:15.279 --> 01:56:15.600
You know what?
01:56:16.000 --> 01:56:18.800
I I question why you bought those in the first place.
01:56:18.960 --> 01:56:21.039
And now that I've seen the video, I'm like, nope.
01:56:21.199 --> 01:56:21.600
Thank you.
01:56:21.840 --> 01:56:22.159
Perfect.
01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:22.640
Thank you.
01:56:22.960 --> 01:56:23.439
But it didn't.
01:56:24.640 --> 01:56:28.000
I had a vision, but I knew that my old ass could not be the person in it.
01:56:28.319 --> 01:56:29.600
The problem is you were first.
01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:31.199
Well, yeah, you broke me in for you.
01:56:31.359 --> 01:56:32.640
You basically broke your knee.
01:56:33.039 --> 01:56:33.359
Yeah.
01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:34.800
It's there's no doubt.
01:56:37.199 --> 01:56:43.039
Crowd surfing in a Zorball, you either need a very strong crowd or a very light Zorbrider.
01:56:43.199 --> 01:56:43.439
Yeah.
01:56:43.600 --> 01:56:48.000
So the Zorbrider has to be super lightweight because the Zorb in his of itself is heavy.
01:56:48.239 --> 01:56:54.399
But can we can we go back for a second and say any normal kid would have fallen out of the hole.
01:56:54.479 --> 01:56:56.000
There was no end to it.
01:56:56.239 --> 01:56:57.760
She was like holding on to straps.
01:56:58.319 --> 01:57:00.720
She wedged herself in there to stay in there.
01:57:00.960 --> 01:57:08.880
The reason the Zorb is like it's like a wacky ball that always kind of looks at the bottom, is because she had made herself into a potato bug.
01:57:08.960 --> 01:57:09.199
Yes.
01:57:09.359 --> 01:57:10.399
Inside the Zorb.
01:57:11.199 --> 01:57:17.359
So it wasn't like a buckeye where the the the tender inside is evenly distributed inside the Zorb.
01:57:17.760 --> 01:57:21.520
No, she was a potato bug inside the Zorb.
01:57:21.760 --> 01:57:29.119
And so depending on what side of the Zorb she was in, now if she would have strapped in the five-point harness that is inside the Zorb.
01:57:29.359 --> 01:57:33.760
So you could say that she was able to absorb the fall.
01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:36.479
She did absorb the fall.
01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:39.039
Um that was such a dad joke.
01:57:40.960 --> 01:57:42.079
I've been nice to you.
01:57:42.239 --> 01:57:42.800
I like her.
01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:48.399
I love I love the 19-year-old sounding board on that one.
01:57:48.640 --> 01:57:48.800
Yes.
01:57:49.119 --> 01:57:50.000
Yeah, that's it.
01:57:50.640 --> 01:57:51.680
Way to go, FUD.
01:57:51.920 --> 01:57:52.560
That's it.
01:57:53.760 --> 01:57:54.399
Wow.
01:57:54.800 --> 01:58:01.760
Um, if you're not doing anything September 2nd through 6th, you know, uh, that's before that Americans call Labor Day.
01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:05.279
Uh we're gonna, I mean, I'm gonna be going for Labor Day.
01:58:05.359 --> 01:58:09.359
I'm gonna be going to uh Chicago for the Vespa Club of America rally.
01:58:09.520 --> 01:58:16.239
But if you want to one up me, you can go to Mandela DeLoreo and go to the Motigucsi rally.
01:58:16.399 --> 01:58:18.640
And it's the Motiguetsi homecoming.
01:58:18.880 --> 01:58:30.239
Always, thousands and thousands of people on motorcycles in the beautiful town of Mandela DeLoreo on beautiful Lake Como in the best time of the year, September 3rd through 6th at World Gucci Days.
01:58:30.479 --> 01:58:34.720
This year is special because Sleepy's gonna put the picture up on the screen.
01:58:34.880 --> 01:58:39.760
Not only will you get to see the world's first ever um what do they call those things?
01:58:39.920 --> 01:58:40.479
A wind tunnel?
01:58:40.800 --> 01:58:41.199
Wind tunnel?
01:58:41.359 --> 01:58:46.159
Yep, wind tunnel made out of an old bomber engine that a guy roasted himself to death on.
01:58:46.319 --> 01:58:47.920
Uh that that's real, that happened.
01:58:48.319 --> 01:58:53.680
And not only get to see that, but you get to see the brand new Motogutzi museum and factory.
01:58:54.000 --> 01:58:58.159
I don't want to ask, but yeah, I need a little more information about that.
01:58:58.239 --> 01:58:59.119
How did he do that?
01:58:59.359 --> 01:59:02.159
So it turns out was that while it was in war fighting?
01:59:02.399 --> 01:59:02.479
No.
01:59:02.960 --> 01:59:03.039
No.
01:59:03.279 --> 01:59:16.960
So it turns out that when you get on a motorcycle and you're in a stationary situation, yeah, and you're kind of sitting on the motorcycle, you're in the tuck, and you're in the tuck, and you're you're gunner for jolly she's worth.
01:59:17.199 --> 01:59:17.520
Wind tunnel.
01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:23.199
And the wind tunnel is a World War I leftover bomber engine.
01:59:23.439 --> 01:59:24.239
Making lots of wind.
01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:26.399
Making all kinds of wind, right?
01:59:26.560 --> 01:59:26.720
Yeah.
01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:29.279
And then fire gets injected into the situation.
01:59:29.520 --> 01:59:31.039
Oh, the bike caught on fire.
01:59:31.199 --> 01:59:31.600
Yeah.
01:59:32.239 --> 01:59:32.319
Oh.
01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:33.439
Yeah, bad day.
01:59:33.600 --> 01:59:35.439
And yeah, he was not ghostwriter after all.
01:59:35.680 --> 01:59:37.279
Yeah, he was not ghostwriter after that.
01:59:37.439 --> 01:59:39.439
So um the bike exploded and he died.
01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:46.239
So when you're looking
at this picture, the big orifice, the big giant gaping maw of it is the air gazinta.
01:59:46.560 --> 01:59:50.239
And then if you go back a little further, you'll see a much smaller tube.
01:59:50.640 --> 01:59:53.199
That's the that's the business part portion of it.
01:59:53.439 --> 01:59:57.680
So there's this house in here where they keep all the testing devices and all that good stuff.
01:59:57.840 --> 02:00:01.119
But this is the air going in, a giant goddamn venturi.
02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:05.680
And then in the middle of the venturi is where the motorcycle and the rider would be.
02:00:05.840 --> 02:00:17.359
And it turns out that if the giant fucking propeller-driven, I mean gasoline-powered, piston-powered airplane engine loses its shit full of oil and gasoline and boom booms.
02:00:17.600 --> 02:00:18.640
Oh, that's what happened.
02:00:18.800 --> 02:00:20.479
And it's in front of the rider.
02:00:21.199 --> 02:00:21.680
Yeah.
02:00:22.399 --> 02:00:24.000
Backblast area not clear.
02:00:24.319 --> 02:00:25.439
It's it's funny to me.
02:00:25.680 --> 02:00:27.600
So do they use that still or that's done?
02:00:27.760 --> 02:00:28.239
No, it's done.
02:00:28.399 --> 02:00:32.239
Well, it's funny to me to think that Gucci cared about aerodynamics.
02:00:32.479 --> 02:00:32.720
Yes.
02:00:32.960 --> 02:00:37.039
But then I remember, then I remember the dustbin.
02:00:37.279 --> 02:00:37.760
Yes, exactly.
02:00:38.000 --> 02:00:44.159
And like, on one hand, I'm like, how the fuck did the Eldorado and the Ambassador era in the V700 ever want to be aerodynamic?
02:00:44.319 --> 02:00:44.800
Because they're not.
02:00:44.960 --> 02:00:45.279
They are not.
02:00:45.439 --> 02:00:47.840
And then I was like, oh wait, right, the dustbin stuff.
02:00:48.239 --> 02:00:48.640
Right.
02:00:48.800 --> 02:00:49.359
Yeah.
02:00:49.680 --> 02:00:49.920
Yeah.
02:00:50.000 --> 02:00:57.920
What do you do if you're there, you're in this wind tunnel, and you're like, this is cool, and all of a sudden, probably apparently combust.
02:00:58.239 --> 02:00:58.479
Nothing.
02:00:58.640 --> 02:00:59.279
What can you do?
02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:00.079
Nothing.
02:01:00.560 --> 02:01:02.159
Stop drop and roll.
02:01:02.479 --> 02:01:06.239
By the time you figure out what it is was going on, you would have been like fucking mauled, probably.
02:01:07.359 --> 02:01:08.479
It would have been ugly fucking kindergarten.
02:01:08.640 --> 02:01:09.279
It would have been ugly.
02:01:09.359 --> 02:01:10.319
There's no doubt about it.
02:01:10.479 --> 02:01:14.560
But yeah, when you do think about the Moto Goodsi, the MotoGutzy V8, right?
02:01:14.640 --> 02:01:19.119
The MotoGutsi V8, that bike, there is no doubt about it.
02:01:19.279 --> 02:01:23.520
Uh you look at that thing and you're like, hmm, that is a very aerodynamic machine.
02:01:23.840 --> 02:01:26.239
They spent like five whole minutes on aerodynamics.
02:01:26.479 --> 02:01:27.680
On the MotoGutsi V8?
02:01:27.840 --> 02:01:28.000
Yeah.
02:01:28.079 --> 02:01:31.119
Yeah, I mean, they made dustbins illegal because they were too spicy.
02:01:31.279 --> 02:01:31.600
Exactly.
02:01:31.760 --> 02:01:32.000
Right.
02:01:32.239 --> 02:01:33.760
I have the perfect dustbin.
02:01:34.800 --> 02:01:35.520
Oh, you do?
02:01:35.760 --> 02:01:36.800
Yeah, that nose cone.
02:01:36.960 --> 02:01:37.119
Yeah.
02:01:37.279 --> 02:01:40.000
He's got a banana nose cone.
02:01:40.159 --> 02:01:43.840
It's a 1950s Beechcraft nose cone.
02:01:44.079 --> 02:01:44.479
Oh, really?
02:01:44.640 --> 02:01:44.800
Yeah.
02:01:44.960 --> 02:01:45.359
Wow.
02:01:45.520 --> 02:01:45.920
I couldn't.
02:01:46.079 --> 02:01:50.000
Can you imagine them not noticing that this might blow over if they were in wind?
02:01:50.319 --> 02:01:52.000
Well, I know they work though.
02:01:52.079 --> 02:01:52.159
Really?
02:01:52.479 --> 02:01:53.039
They worked really well.
02:01:53.680 --> 02:01:54.800
Great unless there was a side wind.
02:01:55.119 --> 02:01:58.399
Well, it was actually the problem was the bikes were going faster than the tires could deal with.
02:01:58.640 --> 02:01:59.119
Well, too.
02:01:59.199 --> 02:01:59.680
And the other part of the water.
02:01:59.840 --> 02:02:01.520
But it wasn't so much a side wind problem.
02:02:02.000 --> 02:02:04.159
That apparently because they were really great.
02:02:04.239 --> 02:02:05.279
They were aerodynamic.
02:02:05.359 --> 02:02:06.239
They were fast as fuck.
02:02:06.319 --> 02:02:06.399
Right.
02:02:10.399 --> 02:02:11.760
Yeah, that's yeah, right.
02:02:12.239 --> 02:02:14.159
So like everything failed but the aerodynamics.
02:02:14.239 --> 02:02:14.399
Right.
02:02:14.479 --> 02:02:15.840
But tell us how you really feel, Tom.
02:02:16.079 --> 02:02:16.880
They sucked.
02:02:17.600 --> 02:02:18.720
But they sound great.
02:02:18.880 --> 02:02:19.199
Yeah.
02:02:19.359 --> 02:02:19.680
Yeah.
02:02:19.840 --> 02:02:22.159
And I guess the Tom, you have a challenge.
02:02:22.239 --> 02:02:25.279
I want you to tell me something great about a motorcycle, any bike.
02:02:25.520 --> 02:02:26.159
Which one?
02:02:27.439 --> 02:02:28.159
I think you get the pick.
02:02:28.800 --> 02:02:35.520
I mean, have you ever heard any Moto Gutsy V7 Ulmwards, the V twin?
02:02:35.600 --> 02:02:35.920
Yeah.
02:02:36.079 --> 02:02:38.960
At full chat, no mufflers.
02:02:39.279 --> 02:02:40.319
Or Agostinis.
02:02:40.800 --> 02:02:41.119
Exactly.
02:02:41.359 --> 02:02:44.640
I mean, I understand that is the most orgasmic sound you will ever hear.
02:02:45.119 --> 02:02:45.279
Okay.
02:02:45.520 --> 02:02:45.920
Totally with you.
02:02:46.159 --> 02:02:47.920
So there are some things you like about motorcycles.
02:02:48.319 --> 02:02:48.880
Absolutely.
02:02:50.800 --> 02:02:54.000
Okay, I have to say something because I met a guy, I met a guy, met a guy.
02:02:54.319 --> 02:02:56.880
I mean, I can see why being a mechanic would make you big bikes.
02:02:57.520 --> 02:02:59.279
I met some guy in Ohio.
02:02:59.600 --> 02:03:00.159
He's got current.
02:03:00.399 --> 02:03:02.560
And I said, look, I'm sorry, I'm the curmudgeon.
02:03:02.640 --> 02:03:03.920
I'm always the curmudgeon.
02:03:04.000 --> 02:03:06.479
And the guy looks at me and he goes, No, the problem is you're a mechanic.
02:03:07.039 --> 02:03:14.960
And he says, you understand and you relate to the fact that everything has a mechanical fail point that you constantly have to deal with.
02:03:15.119 --> 02:03:24.399
So there are things that are going to be worse and better on your scale, but everything is going to have this point where you're like, fuck, I hate dealing with that bullshit.
02:03:24.800 --> 02:03:30.000
And so the problem is everything I look at comes from a lens of fuck, I gotta fix this fucking thing.
02:03:30.239 --> 02:03:32.399
And that's why I'm the motherfucking Honda Whisperer.
02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:32.880
There you go.
02:03:33.359 --> 02:03:33.840
That's it.
02:03:34.000 --> 02:03:34.479
That's it.
02:03:34.720 --> 02:03:35.199
Exactly.
02:03:35.359 --> 02:03:41.600
And I actually John sees the beauty hiding inside, waiting to come out, and Tom hate fucks it.
02:03:41.680 --> 02:03:42.079
Yeah.
02:03:42.399 --> 02:03:46.239
I will I will literally Tom's Tom's like, fuck you.
02:03:46.399 --> 02:03:47.920
Why are you so fucking broken?
02:03:48.800 --> 02:03:51.279
Well there's this thing, there's this mechanical mechanic.
02:03:52.319 --> 02:03:59.840
There has been this thing lately on TikTok and everything else where they're like, you always have to go, you always have to call the guy.
02:04:00.000 --> 02:04:03.600
When it doesn't work, you always have to call the guy that can start a fucking rock.
02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:07.439
And the problem is I literally had to look at this and go, fuck it, I'm that guy.
02:04:07.600 --> 02:04:07.920
Nope.
02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:09.920
That literally can make anything work.
02:04:10.079 --> 02:04:14.239
That's why you are now John McLech, the mechanical romantic.
02:04:14.560 --> 02:04:15.520
The romantic mechanic.
02:04:17.119 --> 02:04:20.640
It's tough when the only person you could possibly call would be yourself.
02:04:23.039 --> 02:04:24.399
That's why my wife doesn't understand.
02:04:24.640 --> 02:04:25.920
Why don't you just ask for help?
02:04:26.000 --> 02:04:29.039
I'm like, if I can't fucking do it, who can?
02:04:29.279 --> 02:04:29.600
Right.
02:04:31.840 --> 02:04:34.319
There's no there's no out from there.
02:04:35.279 --> 02:04:36.880
No, Phil, you don't need to do this.
02:04:36.960 --> 02:04:37.920
We can call a guy.
02:04:38.079 --> 02:04:40.159
Yeah, but he'll fuck it up.
02:04:40.880 --> 02:04:41.920
Not the way I want it.
02:04:42.239 --> 02:04:42.880
He'll fuck it up.
02:04:43.119 --> 02:04:44.479
It's not even about the way I want it.
02:04:44.560 --> 02:04:46.319
If I can't do it, fuck it up.
02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:47.439
Who else is gonna do it?
02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:53.520
There's there's there's every single person that I would ever trust to touch any of my motorcycles is in this room.
02:04:53.760 --> 02:04:55.199
Right, exactly.
02:04:55.520 --> 02:04:56.479
Exactly.
02:04:56.800 --> 02:04:58.000
Yeah, yeah.
02:04:58.880 --> 02:05:01.840
The one guy I trust to touch my motorcycles is in this room.
02:05:02.079 --> 02:05:02.640
Exactly.
02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:04.800
That's that's really what it comes down to.
02:05:05.039 --> 02:05:14.159
And and I'm also the guy that's like, okay, well, I put that together, I've checked it out, everything's running great.
02:05:14.319 --> 02:05:15.760
I move the bike.
02:05:16.479 --> 02:05:17.279
Fuck.
02:05:17.520 --> 02:05:19.920
Where did that eight millimeter nut come from?
02:05:22.159 --> 02:05:23.039
Fuck.
02:05:23.439 --> 02:05:24.560
Where did that eight?
02:05:25.199 --> 02:05:27.920
Because I start with a clean floor and I end with a clean floor.
02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:28.159
Right.
02:05:28.640 --> 02:05:39.680
And if I move a fucking bike and I'm done, and then I see a fucking rogue piece of hardware, then I'm like, well, well, fuck.
02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:41.520
I gotta take it all back apart again now.
02:05:41.600 --> 02:05:41.680
Yeah.
02:05:42.159 --> 02:05:44.479
Because one, two problems.
02:05:44.640 --> 02:05:49.600
One, it's not where it belongs, and two, I don't recognize it intimately.
02:05:49.920 --> 02:05:57.039
Well, so the reality is you have to be autistic enough to know exactly where that eight millimeter would exist in your universe.
02:05:57.279 --> 02:06:01.039
And so you look at that thing and go, well, that's not part of that fucking bike.
02:06:02.560 --> 02:06:04.159
But there's nothing to worry about.
02:06:05.199 --> 02:06:06.960
That's not part of that part of that bike.
02:06:07.199 --> 02:06:07.760
But you know what?
02:06:07.840 --> 02:06:09.520
I'm such a fucking nut job.
02:06:09.680 --> 02:06:11.840
I'll take it to bed when I can't figure it out.
02:06:11.920 --> 02:06:16.000
I'll take it in the house and I'll be looking at it, and then I'll take it to bed and I'll have it on my fucking nightstand.
02:06:16.239 --> 02:06:16.479
Really?
02:06:16.640 --> 02:06:19.520
And it'll be three in the morning and I'll wake up and go, oh, I fucking know where it's.
02:06:29.920 --> 02:06:36.560
One thing I'm not gonna find out is where that's fucking M6 bolt that came from that's in the oil pan of my Serento.
02:06:36.960 --> 02:06:37.199
Good.
02:06:37.439 --> 02:06:37.760
You know what?
02:06:38.159 --> 02:06:39.359
This is what that's extra.
02:06:39.760 --> 02:06:47.680
Today I had the discussion with Sarah about how important you are versus how far your own name is away from your body.
02:06:47.920 --> 02:06:48.239
Right?
02:06:48.560 --> 02:06:52.560
And so my dad used to have a tattoo on his bicep that said Phil.
02:06:52.800 --> 02:06:56.560
And he had a little fruit basket around it, you
know, like back in the 50s, they had some various fruits.
02:06:57.600 --> 02:07:01.439
And he had he had the name fruit, he had the name Phil on his bicep.
02:07:01.600 --> 02:07:07.359
And so, you know, if you have your own name tattooed on your body, you can get very far.
02:07:07.520 --> 02:07:08.159
You didn't get very far.
02:07:08.399 --> 02:07:10.720
I mean, that's only to remind myself who I am.
02:07:11.039 --> 02:07:26.079
If you have a shirt on, and on the shirt it says Phil on the shirt, that's because you're not going to be here long, and everyone needs to know who you are because your established value in the company is somewhat transient.
02:07:26.239 --> 02:07:27.520
So you have a name on your shirt.
02:07:27.600 --> 02:07:31.039
So when the truck full of shirts shows up, they know which one to give you.
02:07:32.000 --> 02:07:33.520
You haven't made it very far.
02:07:34.159 --> 02:07:42.800
If your name jumps off of your chest on your shirt, and if your name jumps onto your desk, well, you're doing pretty good.
02:07:42.880 --> 02:07:48.000
Your name has now officially left your body, and you have a sphere of influence that now involves furniture.
02:07:48.479 --> 02:07:49.439
That's pretty good.
02:07:50.079 --> 02:08:03.039
If your name jumps a little further and the the name is on the door and there's other desks in the room, and this is your office, now your sphere of influence might even involve other humans.
02:08:03.520 --> 02:08:09.520
And this is Phil's office, and everybody in here works for Phil or part of Phil's team, you're doing quite well.
02:08:10.159 --> 02:08:16.239
If you get off the elevator and you're on Phil's floor and there's many offices, you're doing very well.
02:08:17.119 --> 02:08:22.000
If your name's on the outside of the building, you're doing incredibly well.
02:08:22.239 --> 02:08:24.640
Your name has gotten very far away from your body.
02:08:25.359 --> 02:08:34.479
If your name is on the trucks that deliver your products across America, you're doing extremely well.
02:08:34.720 --> 02:08:40.399
Because now the name, now your name has left your body, and now it's thousands and thousands of miles away.
02:08:40.640 --> 02:08:44.479
And if your name is on an airplane, it's doing really, really well.
02:08:44.720 --> 02:08:48.000
And if your name's on a country, you're doing incredibly well.
02:08:48.720 --> 02:08:53.920
So the further away your name is from your body, that's a sign of how well you're doing.
02:08:54.159 --> 02:09:02.000
And I just think that it's very funny that on this mechanic's hoodie here, they automatically assume that you're gonna have your name printed on it.
02:09:02.560 --> 02:09:07.840
It's like that shirt, you'd never, you never, I'd never have to walk anywhere to get a tool for it.
02:09:08.079 --> 02:09:08.640
No, you wouldn't.
02:09:08.720 --> 02:09:12.000
And and what I can only envision is that this entire shirt is full of magnets.
02:09:12.239 --> 02:09:12.800
That's what I was thinking.
02:09:13.119 --> 02:09:13.439
Magnetic.
02:09:13.840 --> 02:09:15.439
So the entire hoodie is just full of magnets.
02:09:15.680 --> 02:09:16.960
And it's gonna weigh like 30 pounds.
02:09:17.119 --> 02:09:17.600
It doesn't matter.
02:09:17.680 --> 02:09:19.119
I throw tools to her and they stick.
02:09:19.520 --> 02:09:20.159
Yeah, yeah.
02:09:20.319 --> 02:09:25.760
And it and when I need to ask you, just And when I throw tools, it's an anger management issue.
02:09:27.520 --> 02:09:34.800
Wait, wait, she's done doing a job and just roll her on the ground on the floor under the lift, and she just picks up all the tools.
02:09:36.000 --> 02:09:38.000
Or like you I think that's hilarious.
02:09:38.239 --> 02:09:42.880
What we used to do um on the parking lot is roll that magnet thing so your customer didn't get any flat.
02:09:43.279 --> 02:09:44.000
Yeah, nails and screws.
02:09:44.079 --> 02:09:44.880
You just roll her.
02:09:45.039 --> 02:09:46.720
We call that the f the fod job, right?
02:09:46.960 --> 02:09:48.000
You're looking for fodd.
02:09:48.159 --> 02:09:50.640
Yeah, you're finding foreign objects and debris.
02:09:50.800 --> 02:09:52.479
That fod job is important, man.
02:09:52.640 --> 02:09:53.039
It's fun.
02:09:53.279 --> 02:09:55.920
Yeah, it's it's it's the fod job is fun.
02:09:56.079 --> 02:09:57.199
I love doing the FOD.
02:09:57.359 --> 02:10:00.000
Yeah, and you're like, you get done, and you're like, oh shit.
02:10:00.079 --> 02:10:02.079
Yeah, there's a lot of stabby shit in my parking lot.
02:10:02.319 --> 02:10:04.640
What the fuck did a four-inch nail come from in your parking lot?
02:10:05.199 --> 02:10:05.920
Like, it's crazy.
02:10:06.079 --> 02:10:06.880
It is crazy.
02:10:07.039 --> 02:10:10.960
It's it's absolutely stupid how much stuff ends up in my parking lot.
02:10:11.039 --> 02:10:21.039
Yeah, and what's the the dumbest thing is every time I put a reflector on a license plate bracket, those little reflectors that we all have, and my shop's been using them for 26 years.
02:10:21.199 --> 02:10:27.119
You buy a bike from my shop, you get red, blue, yellow, you get some reflectors on your license plate bracket.
02:10:27.359 --> 02:10:27.840
I love those things.
02:10:28.000 --> 02:10:28.319
I love them.
02:10:28.640 --> 02:10:30.720
But a reflector has three four components.
02:10:30.880 --> 02:10:40.479
It has the reflector itself, the M4 screw on it, with a wing nut, a washer, and the dumbest spring that ever lived on the planet.
02:10:41.520 --> 02:10:43.760
And I understand how they want you to operate it.
02:10:44.079 --> 02:10:52.000
They want you to put the reflector bolt through, the washer, and then the spring, and then the wing nut.
02:10:52.319 --> 02:10:56.319
So the spring is acting as a device to keep the wing nut from backing the fuck off.
02:10:56.880 --> 02:10:57.439
I get it.
02:10:57.680 --> 02:10:58.960
I know how that works.
02:10:59.520 --> 02:11:06.159
But I
also know that 90% of the time, if that spring is on there, the spring will lose its attention because it's a garbage ass spring.
02:11:06.399 --> 02:11:10.880
And you'll end up losing the wing nut and the spring and the washer and the reflector.
02:11:11.119 --> 02:11:12.319
How do you ask me how I know?
02:11:12.640 --> 02:11:13.439
26 years.
02:11:13.680 --> 02:11:23.279
If you take the spring and you throw it as far as you can throw it, and then put the wing nut on, with or without the washer, and put that fucker on tight, it'll never leak.
02:11:23.520 --> 02:11:23.920
That's the thing.
02:11:24.000 --> 02:11:26.640
I mean, you gotta put a little put a little zhuzh on it.
02:11:26.960 --> 02:11:28.640
You gotta give it like two thumb dugas.
02:11:28.800 --> 02:11:30.000
You give it a half duga, yeah.
02:11:30.079 --> 02:11:30.239
Right?
02:11:30.319 --> 02:11:33.600
And you give it a half duga, and it'll never go anywhere, they'll last forever.
02:11:34.000 --> 02:11:38.079
The problem is sometimes in my parking lot you can see those springs.
02:11:38.399 --> 02:11:42.560
And sometimes in my parking lot, you can see those little fucking washers that go with the springs.
02:11:42.640 --> 02:11:45.039
And the washers are the wrong size for everything, by the way.
02:11:45.119 --> 02:11:49.520
Don't think you're gonna save those for any important task, they're just the wrong size washer for just about everything.
02:11:50.000 --> 02:11:51.760
Four millimeter doesn't come into my life very often.
02:11:52.079 --> 02:11:52.960
Not very frequently.
02:11:53.039 --> 02:11:57.119
I never have I been like, I'm putting a pop rivet on, I need a four millimeter washer.
02:11:57.199 --> 02:11:58.720
Right wrong answer.
02:11:58.960 --> 02:12:03.119
So when Customers are in my shop in my parking lot and they're being helpful.
02:12:03.279 --> 02:12:05.279
They're like, Oh my god, look at that.
02:12:05.359 --> 02:12:09.840
That that that washer, that spring that obviously fell out of the last bike you worked on.
02:12:10.479 --> 02:12:11.680
Okay, way to go.
02:12:11.760 --> 02:12:14.319
Like, things are always as worst as they can be, fella.
02:12:14.560 --> 02:12:26.640
Like, way to go, borrowing trouble person, or it could just be one of these fucking license plate bracket reflectors I put on nine million of, and you know, I didn't make it to my pocket this time.
02:12:27.039 --> 02:12:31.039
People find shit in my parking lot and they are like proud.
02:12:31.520 --> 02:12:33.199
They're so pick it up and hand it to you.
02:12:33.359 --> 02:12:33.600
Oh, yeah.
02:12:33.840 --> 02:12:34.880
Hey, I found this washering.
02:12:35.199 --> 02:12:38.079
Oh, I love it when they're like, I'll bet this is off the last bike you worked on.
02:12:38.399 --> 02:12:44.159
I should start throwing bearings, like just random bearings to get the fuck out of the fucking ball bag.
02:12:44.399 --> 02:12:46.079
Oh my god, that's a cat bearing.
02:12:46.399 --> 02:12:48.560
Sarah, do you tell people to get the fuck out of here?
02:12:48.880 --> 02:12:51.760
No, I really try to be nice, but when I don't want to deal with it, I guess.
02:12:52.000 --> 02:12:53.520
Why are you speaking with anybody at all?
02:12:53.760 --> 02:12:54.399
Yeah.
02:12:55.520 --> 02:12:57.279
That was a John Mecklefresh Twitter question.
02:12:57.600 --> 02:12:57.920
Yeah, I got you.
02:12:58.399 --> 02:13:00.640
So the the problem is everybody's trying.
02:13:00.800 --> 02:13:02.399
She shot she shadows me.
02:13:02.640 --> 02:13:05.840
So she'll shadow me around sometimes, and I'm like, yay.
02:13:06.159 --> 02:13:07.680
She wants to talk to customers.
02:13:07.840 --> 02:13:11.600
Like she picked up the phone for a few days, and I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no.
02:13:12.000 --> 02:13:14.079
Picking up the phone is an art form around here.
02:13:14.239 --> 02:13:17.439
Yeah, there's like seven layers of psychology that happens in one phone call.
02:13:17.760 --> 02:13:21.199
I always say if a customer talks to me, Phil and Renee both have failed.
02:13:21.359 --> 02:13:22.800
Yeah, we've we're clearly dead.
02:13:23.039 --> 02:13:26.319
And and the problem, and the problem is literally every time they've made it.
02:13:26.479 --> 02:13:28.880
Every time I roll up the door, they're always there.
02:13:29.439 --> 02:13:34.239
Customer rolls in, like the exact moment I roll up that door, somebody rolls up and I'm like, motherfucker.
02:13:34.479 --> 02:13:35.680
And they all come in with the same thing.
02:13:39.119 --> 02:13:43.600
We at one point when I was there, we had two levels of chains.
02:13:43.760 --> 02:13:47.520
I created a cardboard thing like this big that said, do not enter.
02:13:47.680 --> 02:13:48.560
This means fucking you.
02:13:48.960 --> 02:13:49.520
That's you.
02:13:49.680 --> 02:13:52.399
No, seriously, don't come past the fucking chain.
02:13:52.560 --> 02:13:52.720
Yeah.
02:13:52.880 --> 02:13:54.560
And then everybody just walked past that too.
02:13:54.800 --> 02:13:54.960
Exactly.
02:13:55.199 --> 02:13:55.760
Didn't give a fuck.
02:13:56.000 --> 02:13:56.399
No, no, no.
02:13:56.560 --> 02:13:57.760
Any permeable barrier.
02:13:57.840 --> 02:13:58.960
It doesn't matter what it is.
02:13:59.279 --> 02:14:01.279
I mean, a monkey gun, I can get through it.
02:14:01.520 --> 02:14:02.640
He's obviously not talking about me.
02:14:02.880 --> 02:14:03.680
No, not me.
02:14:04.239 --> 02:14:06.960
If nobody should has shown up all day.
02:14:07.119 --> 02:14:07.600
Right.
02:14:08.000 --> 02:14:13.359
If I roll up that door, six cars will pull in the parking lot.
02:14:13.760 --> 02:14:16.079
Like, did you all just wait at the school across the street?
02:14:16.720 --> 02:14:22.000
It's like those things like the that new theory of whatever, like uh like when you shoot atoms to a thing, it's only if you view it.
02:14:22.479 --> 02:14:25.680
As soon as Tom rolls it up, there's six people mismaterialized.
02:14:28.000 --> 02:14:29.359
If a tree falls, yeah, it's cool.
02:14:29.600 --> 02:14:33.439
If a tree falls over in the forest and nobody's there to hear it, will the customer talk to Tom?
02:14:33.600 --> 02:14:34.000
Yes, they will.
02:14:35.119 --> 02:14:36.479
They always think you don't mean them.
02:14:36.720 --> 02:14:37.119
Right.
02:14:38.720 --> 02:14:40.000
Oh, you mean other people?
02:14:40.159 --> 02:14:42.640
Yeah, it says no admittance employees only.
02:14:42.800 --> 02:14:45.279
And you'd be amazed at how many people I hired in the past week.
02:14:45.359 --> 02:14:45.520
Yeah.
02:14:45.680 --> 02:14:46.079
Yeah.
02:14:46.319 --> 02:14:59.279
The it is a guaranteed, it is a lock, but nobody understands if you want to get on the wrong side of a mechanic, yeah, as fast as humanly possible, it's go where you're not supposed to be.
02:14:59.760 --> 02:15:00.960
It's just go where you're not supposed to be.
02:15:01.920 --> 02:15:05.199
So I did not shoot in the mouths of any young ones, anything.
02:15:07.119 --> 02:15:08.000
Fucker.
02:15:08.640 --> 02:15:09.520
I just read that.
02:15:10.079 --> 02:15:10.479
That's the problem.
02:15:10.560 --> 02:15:11.279
It's not that I want to.
02:15:11.520 --> 02:15:12.720
Matt, shame on you for laughing.
02:15:13.039 --> 02:15:16.159
In the army, we used to have a term that said bodies create bodies, right?
02:15:16.319 --> 02:15:21.039
So, like, if you're if you're ever anywhere and there's bodies, you need to leave that area because bodies create bodies.
02:15:21.279 --> 02:15:22.399
The bodies got there somehow.
02:15:22.479 --> 02:15:22.960
It's fine.
02:15:23.199 --> 02:15:27.760
So the bodies create bodies things happen for real when I'm rolling bikes out.
02:15:28.079 --> 02:15:33.039
Because when the parking lot's just dry, when the parking lot's just a parking lot, nobody.
02:15:33.920 --> 02:15:39.279
But the second there's activity, and you know, they talk about like those velociraptors, they see movement, right?
02:15:39.600 --> 02:15:41.359
And so they'll see me pushing a bike out.
02:15:41.439 --> 02:15:47.600
And the second, and I can look out at the traffic on the street, and I can see somebody who's like only thinking about dunking donuts.
02:15:48.000 --> 02:15:51.920
But they see me pushing a bike out, and they're like, Whoa, that looks more interesting than donuts.
02:15:52.079 --> 02:15:54.000
I'm gonna pull in there and talk to that guy for a while.
02:15:54.079 --> 02:15:58.159
I'm sure he'd like to hear the story about my uncle's Hercomer Battle Scooter or whatever the fuck he's got.
02:15:58.479 --> 02:16:02.479
And I promise you that I can tell when it's coming.
02:16:02.560 --> 02:16:07.920
The one time when I totally said, watch Sleepy, these two guys are gonna turn around, and one guy's gonna walk up to us.
02:16:08.000 --> 02:16:08.239
Oh, yeah.
02:16:08.399 --> 02:16:11.359
And I'm like, Sleepy's like, how the fuck did you know that?
02:16:11.600 --> 02:16:12.319
You're a wizard.
02:16:12.399 --> 02:16:14.720
I'm like, no, I got fucking time and grade, man.
02:16:14.880 --> 02:16:16.560
I know what old men look like when they're watching.
02:16:17.279 --> 02:16:18.560
You can read the micro expressions.
02:16:18.880 --> 02:16:20.159
I can read the micro expressions.
02:16:20.239 --> 02:16:22.960
I told a guy on the telephone he was talking to me about a Janice.
02:16:23.279 --> 02:16:28.000
And I told him on the phone, I was like, All you guys that call me, you're all in your 70s.
02:16:28.079 --> 02:16:29.840
And he's like, wait, what do you mean?
02:16:29.920 --> 02:16:31.119
No, I'm not in my 70s.
02:16:31.199 --> 02:16:32.719
I was like, you're totally in your 70s.
02:16:32.879 --> 02:16:36.399
And I got in an argument with him about how whether or not he was in his 70s.
02:16:36.719 --> 02:16:44.719
So I hung up the phone with him after, you know, he basically tried to talk to me for way too long about a bike he wasn't gonna buy anyway, and he's on the other side of the country.
02:16:44.879 --> 02:16:46.559
I Googled his fucking phone number.
02:16:46.639 --> 02:16:47.360
And you know what?
02:16:47.600 --> 02:16:50.719
Bitch is 72 years old, sucks being right all the time.
02:16:50.879 --> 02:16:53.920
So when he called me back and I said, Hey, there you are in St.
02:16:54.079 --> 02:16:58.959
Paul, Minnesota, I said, You on the phone, you tried to lie to me.
02:16:59.040 --> 02:17:00.719
You're 72 years old.
02:17:01.040 --> 02:17:02.879
I'm not 72 years old.
02:17:03.120 --> 02:17:05.360
I'm like, Google thinks you are.
02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:13.280
And I'm like, I I I'm literally looking at a picture of your house right now, and the garage doors open, and I see that Harley Davidson you were telling me about.
02:17:13.440 --> 02:17:15.520
So Google can't be too wrong about everything.
02:17:15.760 --> 02:17:16.559
Google knows everything.
02:17:16.799 --> 02:17:18.079
You're 72 years old.
02:17:18.159 --> 02:17:19.200
You tried to lie to me.
02:17:19.520 --> 02:17:23.680
I when I saw you post that Janice, which is a beautiful Batman's Janice?
02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:24.159
Oh yeah.
02:17:24.879 --> 02:17:26.000
Batman's Janice.
02:17:26.159 --> 02:17:26.399
Okay.
02:17:26.559 --> 02:17:29.840
It is the weirdest custom job.
02:17:30.239 --> 02:17:32.000
It is a really good color combination.
02:17:32.239 --> 02:17:37.760
I like it a lot, but I'm just saying, like, when I saw it, I was like, oh, Phil's gonna be getting some interesting sales calls.
02:17:37.920 --> 02:17:39.040
Oh, you don't know.
02:17:39.200 --> 02:17:46.799
That that that color combo and everything on it is is every freak that is like a Janice, like rubs his um throw it up leg.
02:17:47.040 --> 02:17:47.600
Throw it up.
02:17:47.680 --> 02:17:48.079
Yeah.
02:17:48.639 --> 02:17:50.239
The picture doesn't do it justice.
02:17:50.319 --> 02:17:51.440
The seats are ox blood.
02:17:51.680 --> 02:17:52.319
It really
doesn't.
02:17:52.559 --> 02:17:54.079
The seats are ox blood.
02:17:54.879 --> 02:17:57.840
The gas tank is polished aluminium, like chrome.
02:17:58.079 --> 02:17:58.559
It's dope.
02:17:58.879 --> 02:18:00.399
And all the paint, everything.
02:18:00.479 --> 02:18:05.680
The frame matches the frame matches the bodywork, which is like a super expensive option.
02:18:05.920 --> 02:18:08.799
I looked at the build sheet for this bike, it's over$17,000.
02:18:10.000 --> 02:18:10.879
$17,000.
02:18:11.040 --> 02:18:12.479
The fucking gas cap is$300.
02:18:12.799 --> 02:18:15.040
I mean, it does look like you're like riding through the battlefield.
02:18:15.600 --> 02:18:15.760
It does.
02:18:16.079 --> 02:18:24.639
I mean, like, this is this is that like, you know, when they do all the like prequels and all the shit about like if Batman was shot during World War I.
02:18:25.200 --> 02:18:28.479
This is the this is the Caped Crusader detective.
02:18:28.639 --> 02:18:30.959
This is Batman's motorcycle circa 1925.
02:18:31.440 --> 02:18:34.239
Well it's channeling an SS 100 Bro superior.
02:18:34.399 --> 02:18:34.719
It is.
02:18:34.799 --> 02:18:35.360
You're right.
02:18:35.520 --> 02:18:36.479
You're absolutely right.
02:18:36.719 --> 02:18:38.799
Like, and the bike riders, this was the before.
02:18:39.040 --> 02:18:39.600
Yes.
02:18:40.079 --> 02:18:43.840
Before they stripped it down and had sex with each other.
02:18:44.319 --> 02:18:47.840
This is very much the Batman Halcyon 450.
02:18:48.079 --> 02:18:52.079
I will say though, those aren't Batman's colors, those are Batwoman's colors.
02:18:52.159 --> 02:18:53.040
Are they Batwoman's colors?
02:18:53.360 --> 02:18:54.000
Oh, let's look again.
02:18:54.559 --> 02:19:00.079
Batwoman's colors are red and black, and Batman's colors are black and yellow.
02:19:00.399 --> 02:19:00.719
Oh.
02:19:02.079 --> 02:19:04.559
Dun dun dun dun dun dun.
02:19:05.680 --> 02:19:07.360
Fixing bikes, dropping knowledge.
02:19:07.600 --> 02:19:07.920
Wow.
02:19:08.159 --> 02:19:08.319
Yeah.
02:19:09.440 --> 02:19:10.399
I know some comics.
02:19:10.639 --> 02:19:12.799
Is there a difference between Batwoman and Batgirl?
02:19:12.959 --> 02:19:13.200
Yes.
02:19:13.360 --> 02:19:13.600
Yes.
02:19:14.159 --> 02:19:14.479
Yeah.
02:19:15.200 --> 02:19:15.920
Batgirl's bike was.
02:19:17.280 --> 02:19:22.879
Well, I don't want to even get into my affinity for Batgirl, who though is probably right now way over.
02:19:23.120 --> 02:19:24.639
I mean like 97.
02:19:24.879 --> 02:19:25.120
Yeah.
02:19:25.280 --> 02:19:27.840
So it's not even a big thing.
02:19:28.079 --> 02:19:29.920
Batgirl's colors are uh purple.
02:19:30.239 --> 02:19:30.799
Purple and yellow.
02:19:31.200 --> 02:19:37.760
There's the original Bat Cycle with the Robin go-kart and Robber's in Robin's currently in the y'all take it position.
02:19:37.920 --> 02:19:48.319
Well, I I loved I loved the fact that whenever they fired off the sidecar, it came back
out back around that they did not know where it was going to land.
02:19:48.479 --> 02:19:50.559
So he was always fucking scared to death.
02:19:51.040 --> 02:19:52.799
Did this bike come out before Vetter?
02:19:52.959 --> 02:19:53.920
Did he get his idea?
02:19:54.159 --> 02:19:54.719
Yeah, it did.
02:19:55.200 --> 02:19:57.200
He was like, talk about your dustbin fairy.
02:19:57.360 --> 02:19:59.600
But like, but like was it Burt Ward?
02:19:59.760 --> 02:20:00.159
Is that his name?
02:20:00.399 --> 02:20:01.040
Yeah, Burt Ward.
02:20:01.440 --> 02:20:05.600
They'd put him on the sidecar and they'd launch the sidecar, and the sidecar would just fuck off.
02:20:05.760 --> 02:20:06.639
He's like, fuck that.
02:20:06.799 --> 02:20:13.680
And like Burt Ward apparently apparently came out years later and was like, yeah, I had no control, and it would just fucking fuck off like a like a shopping cart.
02:20:13.920 --> 02:20:16.000
Yeah, this was the this is the one they fixed it.
02:20:16.079 --> 02:20:20.239
This is when they fixed it, and they used a they used a Harley Davidson with a style sidecar on it.
02:20:20.879 --> 02:20:23.280
Because the other one was such a train wreck.
02:20:23.520 --> 02:20:23.920
Yeah.
02:20:24.559 --> 02:20:28.719
Dynamically uh the ambiguously gay duo.
02:20:29.120 --> 02:20:30.639
It does look like a giant penis.
02:20:31.040 --> 02:20:33.200
It does look like a bad dynamically ambiguous.
02:20:36.479 --> 02:20:37.760
I don't know what you're talking about.
02:20:38.079 --> 02:20:39.520
Batgirl motorcycle, please.
02:20:39.680 --> 02:20:40.639
Yeah, Batgirl.
02:20:40.799 --> 02:20:41.040
Exactly.
02:20:41.200 --> 02:20:42.079
I want to see Batgirl.
02:20:42.239 --> 02:20:43.840
The Batgirl Motorcycle is a little yellow battery.
02:20:44.479 --> 02:20:47.120
It was a yellow, uh, that was based on like a Yamaha.
02:20:47.440 --> 02:20:47.680
Yep.
02:20:48.239 --> 02:20:50.719
It might have been like a twin jet or something like that.
02:20:53.680 --> 02:20:53.920
There you go.
02:20:55.280 --> 02:20:56.319
There it is.
02:20:57.040 --> 02:20:57.680
There we go.
02:20:57.920 --> 02:20:58.879
Bum bum bum.
02:20:59.280 --> 02:21:01.920
That's a badass little the the fiberglass working with the colour.
02:21:02.159 --> 02:21:04.159
It's just, it's just, I love the ruffles.
02:21:04.319 --> 02:21:05.120
I wonder if it's a big one.
02:21:05.280 --> 02:21:08.239
And then there's like a little train at the back of it for some strange reason.
02:21:08.719 --> 02:21:09.680
Because Barrys did the car.
02:21:09.760 --> 02:21:11.680
I wonder if Barris did the white one.
02:21:11.760 --> 02:21:12.239
There was a white one.
02:21:12.639 --> 02:21:13.920
Like look at the look at the windscreen.
02:21:14.000 --> 02:21:15.600
It's just a windscreen is a bubble.
02:21:15.760 --> 02:21:17.040
Yeah, it's a it's a bubble.
02:21:17.440 --> 02:21:18.639
It was a bubble off of another product.
02:21:21.440 --> 02:21:22.159
And drugs.
02:21:22.319 --> 02:21:26.799
No, I'm gonna tell you, the never left the 60s were remarkably undruggy.
02:21:27.040 --> 02:21:29.920
Yeah, it wasn't until the 70s when the shit got real weird.
02:21:30.079 --> 02:21:31.280
Yeah, that was Qua Lutes.
02:21:31.520 --> 02:21:34.879
Well, there was this whole thing before that acid existed and it wasn't illegal yet.
02:21:35.120 --> 02:21:37.200
It was oh, there you go.
02:21:37.440 --> 02:21:38.399
That was kind of a wild time.
02:21:39.280 --> 02:21:40.399
Never heard of it.
02:21:40.719 --> 02:21:41.680
Cocaine existed before.
02:21:41.920 --> 02:21:44.239
It was just a all the drugs that existed before they were illegal.
02:21:44.639 --> 02:21:45.520
Tom's gonna like this one.
02:21:45.760 --> 02:21:47.680
He'll actually be able to name them the motorcycle.
02:21:49.200 --> 02:21:50.399
Tom can name this bike.
02:21:50.559 --> 02:21:51.440
I'll bet you he can.
02:21:53.200 --> 02:21:53.680
Quiet.
02:21:54.159 --> 02:21:54.639
Nothing.
02:21:54.799 --> 02:21:55.600
Nothing from Tom.
02:21:55.760 --> 02:21:58.239
I can't see the problem is I can't see it from back here.
02:21:58.479 --> 02:21:59.520
I'm gonna look at it close.
02:21:59.680 --> 02:22:01.360
Innocenti Vega Cometa.
02:22:01.600 --> 02:22:06.479
Yeah, there's there's a uh Louie around the corner for 22, and I actually really want to buy it.
02:22:06.639 --> 02:22:06.879
Yeah.
02:22:08.879 --> 02:22:10.719
Vega Cometa.
02:22:11.040 --> 02:22:11.440
Let me see.
02:22:11.600 --> 02:22:13.760
And it's it it is a that's not a cometa.
02:22:14.000 --> 02:22:18.000
Isn't it uh No, it's Louis or uh No, it's a Vega.
02:22:18.399 --> 02:22:19.360
Vega or Louis.
02:22:19.840 --> 02:22:20.319
Not the Cometa.
02:22:20.639 --> 02:22:22.639
You're talking about the cartoon that we're looking at up there.
02:22:23.440 --> 02:22:24.399
Pull it up.
02:22:25.520 --> 02:22:26.079
Not the Cometa.
02:22:26.239 --> 02:22:26.719
It's not the Cometa.
02:22:27.040 --> 02:22:27.680
Why is it not a Cometa?
02:22:28.239 --> 02:22:30.639
Because the Cometa is not the Louis or the Vega.
02:22:31.120 --> 02:22:33.040
Why is it not this yellow bike, Tom?
02:22:33.840 --> 02:22:35.120
That's the Vega, no.
02:22:35.440 --> 02:22:36.719
That is the Louis 75.
02:22:37.760 --> 02:22:39.600
This is the Vega Cometa, the orange one.
02:22:39.920 --> 02:22:40.719
No, not Cometa.
02:22:40.879 --> 02:22:41.120
It is.
02:22:41.280 --> 02:22:41.840
Not Cometa.
02:22:42.159 --> 02:22:42.959
I've had two of them, Tom.
02:22:44.239 --> 02:22:44.879
Tell me about something.
02:22:45.360 --> 02:22:46.639
Tell me something about a bike I haven't.
02:22:47.760 --> 02:22:48.799
The Cometa's a different bike.
02:22:49.120 --> 02:22:51.440
It's the Louis or the Vega, but it's not the Cometa.
02:22:51.760 --> 02:22:53.760
The Cometa's got weird square ball team.
02:22:54.639 --> 02:22:55.200
It's okay.
02:22:56.239 --> 02:22:56.559
It's alright.
02:23:00.239 --> 02:23:01.040
No, there's
actually.
02:23:03.040 --> 02:23:05.520
I had a yellow one and an orange one, and they were both comedis.
02:23:06.719 --> 02:23:08.239
Tell me again about the bike I didn't own.
02:23:08.479 --> 02:23:09.280
Wait a minute.
02:23:10.479 --> 02:23:12.479
Tell me again about the bike that I didn't own.
02:23:12.639 --> 02:23:15.760
It's always that is literally in the picture that's on the screen right now.
02:23:15.920 --> 02:23:16.879
Yeah, the the comet.
02:23:17.200 --> 02:23:17.520
There it is.
02:23:17.760 --> 02:23:19.520
The comet is the J50 of the J50.
02:23:19.760 --> 02:23:21.440
No, it's a 75S.
02:23:21.920 --> 02:23:22.559
That's fair.
02:23:22.799 --> 02:23:23.120
Thank you.
02:23:23.280 --> 02:23:23.760
I was right.
02:23:24.000 --> 02:23:24.639
I'm still right.
02:23:24.879 --> 02:23:25.120
You're right.
02:23:25.280 --> 02:23:25.680
It's shocking.
02:23:25.840 --> 02:23:26.639
I will admit being right.
02:23:26.879 --> 02:23:29.200
And it has the horizontal slots on the handlebars.
02:23:30.559 --> 02:23:31.200
Two.
02:23:31.440 --> 02:23:31.840
What?
02:23:32.959 --> 02:23:33.840
What are you doing?
02:23:35.840 --> 02:23:39.760
So now I'm having my headphones unplugged because of all that bullshit you had through.
02:23:41.120 --> 02:23:53.680
So now we now when we look at this picture, then we understand that this picture with the horizontal holes in the handlebars, the horizontal holes in the handlebars are the same horizontal holes in the handlebars on the Luna Vega cometa.
02:23:53.920 --> 02:23:55.680
I always had the difference.
02:23:56.000 --> 02:23:58.319
I always had the cometa is the J125.
02:23:58.479 --> 02:24:01.360
Ah no, the J125 is the Star Stream.
02:24:01.600 --> 02:24:02.479
You're right.
02:24:02.959 --> 02:24:03.680
100%.
02:24:07.040 --> 02:24:07.680
I am wrong.
02:24:08.319 --> 02:24:08.879
I am wrong.
02:24:09.040 --> 02:24:09.600
I am wrong.
02:24:10.079 --> 02:24:14.559
226, we're gonna cut that note.
02:24:16.559 --> 02:24:18.719
I guess that's the end of the weekends forever.
02:24:18.879 --> 02:24:20.000
We don't have the game.
02:24:22.879 --> 02:24:24.719
We've just made time that he was wrong.
02:24:24.879 --> 02:24:25.440
I'm wrong.
02:24:25.600 --> 02:24:27.360
I will admit when I'm wrong.
02:24:27.600 --> 02:24:31.280
Well, that was, I mean, that was that was infinitesimal dick measuring going on.
02:24:31.520 --> 02:24:31.760
Yeah.
02:24:32.000 --> 02:24:34.319
That's that's that's train spotting of the highest order.
02:24:34.559 --> 02:24:36.719
I was gonna say, we are Sherpa perfectly.
02:24:36.879 --> 02:24:39.200
But I have owned, I have owned an orange one and a yellow one.
02:24:39.280 --> 02:24:44.799
Well, there's a green one around the corner for 22, and I'm like, I really want, I really want it.
02:24:45.040 --> 02:24:45.760
They're terrible bikes.
02:24:45.840 --> 02:24:46.239
You don't want it.
02:24:46.399 --> 02:24:50.799
They are and every time you kickstart it, you kick the fucking air filter off the fucking carburetor.
02:24:51.040 --> 02:24:52.799
So that they're not designed exactly well.
02:24:52.879 --> 02:24:54.879
But it looks fucking awesome with Batgirl on it.
02:24:54.959 --> 02:24:55.120
Right.
02:24:55.520 --> 02:24:56.159
Batwoman on it.
02:24:56.239 --> 02:24:57.920
That's some fucking some shit right there.
02:24:58.079 --> 02:24:58.399
Yeah.
02:24:58.559 --> 02:25:04.319
I never thought I would ever put I never thought I'd put Batwoman on a 75cc Italian fucking masterpiece.
02:25:04.559 --> 02:25:07.680
Uh but there she is in all of her splendid glory.
02:25:07.760 --> 02:25:09.200
All right, anybody else got anything else?
02:25:09.280 --> 02:25:10.799
It's been solid two and a half hours.
02:25:11.040 --> 02:25:12.479
Hey Smith, you need a joke.
02:25:12.719 --> 02:25:15.440
Ah Sarah, Sarah, do you have a joke you can tell?
02:25:15.600 --> 02:25:16.239
No, you're prepared.
02:25:16.399 --> 02:25:18.399
Does do you just have a joke standing by?
02:25:19.120 --> 02:25:21.360
Yeah, it ain't easy telling dad jokes, is it?
02:25:21.520 --> 02:25:21.840
Yeah, yeah.
02:25:22.159 --> 02:25:23.600
Where's your millennial joke?
02:25:24.000 --> 02:25:27.840
Guys, I don't I'm not that spontaneously funny.
02:25:28.159 --> 02:25:29.120
Well, that was kind of funny.
02:25:29.280 --> 02:25:30.959
Why do the French eat snails?
02:25:31.200 --> 02:25:31.520
Why?
02:25:31.760 --> 02:25:33.280
Because they don't like fast food.
02:25:33.600 --> 02:25:34.239
Yay.
02:25:34.639 --> 02:25:37.360
You asked my mom, she's got a lot of dad jokes.
02:25:38.319 --> 02:25:42.879
Hey, there was a snail that was trying to run from another snail and he painted an ass, and hey, look at that.
02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:44.559
Look at that ass cargo.
02:25:45.200 --> 02:25:45.600
I'm sorry.
02:25:47.200 --> 02:25:48.079
That's pretty fucking bad.
02:25:48.399 --> 02:25:49.200
John, before we go.
02:25:49.840 --> 02:25:52.399
Did I tell you I have a Polish friend who's a sound man?
02:25:52.559 --> 02:25:52.799
Oh no.
02:25:53.040 --> 02:25:53.760
I have a Czech one, too.
02:25:54.879 --> 02:25:55.520
Czech one, too.
02:25:55.680 --> 02:25:57.360
I launched that one a while ago.
02:25:57.600 --> 02:25:58.479
Hey, hey John.
02:25:58.879 --> 02:25:59.040
Yeah.
02:26:00.079 --> 02:26:01.440
Before we check off.
02:26:02.399 --> 02:26:02.879
Check off.
02:26:04.159 --> 02:26:06.719
Did you land did you land the Cup Cadets yet?
02:26:06.959 --> 02:26:10.559
No, I I didn't get any response back from an inquiry on those.
02:26:12.000 --> 02:26:12.799
The racing league.
02:26:12.879 --> 02:26:13.280
Oh man.
02:26:14.000 --> 02:26:14.399
Sorry.
02:26:14.639 --> 02:26:15.200
Anyway.
02:26:15.760 --> 02:26:22.239
For 150 bucks, that was like we didn't even talk about the fact that I traded a trail 125 for 390s.
02:26:22.719 --> 02:26:23.600
Oh, we forgot about that.
02:26:24.239 --> 02:26:25.680
Steel of the day.
02:26:26.479 --> 02:26:26.959
Oh
god.
02:26:27.360 --> 02:26:29.600
In one of the worst, well, I don't know.
02:26:29.680 --> 02:26:36.959
It's a very strange trade, but to go from 125 CCs, which is funny too, is I learned that they're both they were both 2022s.
02:26:37.120 --> 02:26:37.920
You doubled down.
02:26:38.159 --> 02:26:39.680
So they were both 2022s.
02:26:39.920 --> 02:26:41.840
I wanted to hate the trade because I like Hondas.
02:26:42.159 --> 02:26:42.639
Right, I get it.
02:26:42.959 --> 02:26:45.440
When I really stood back and looked at it, I'm like, no, you're doing right.
02:26:45.920 --> 02:26:47.040
I feel like I did okay.
02:26:47.280 --> 02:26:48.559
I feel like I did all right.
02:26:48.719 --> 02:26:52.639
Uh, just so people can see at home real quick, just because we're gonna be talking about it this week.
02:26:52.799 --> 02:27:09.200
I traded a 2022 um uh KTM RC390 uh showed up at my place, and I had to give up a Hunter Cub, a uh Honda Trail 125, uh with 110 miles on it.
02:27:09.440 --> 02:27:11.520
And and you know, it had a little luggage rack in the front.
02:27:11.600 --> 02:27:12.719
I put a top case on the back of it.
02:27:13.120 --> 02:27:14.559
That bike only has 1100 miles on it.
02:27:14.799 --> 02:27:16.479
This bike has 1100 miles on it, that's correct.
02:27:16.639 --> 02:27:18.239
Uh yeah, KTM RC390.
02:27:18.479 --> 02:27:19.920
You still have the TW200, sorry.
02:27:20.239 --> 02:27:22.799
I do still have a TW200, but it's just it was weird.
02:27:22.879 --> 02:27:28.399
Everybody that came into my shop that looked at the trail 125 was like, oh yeah, I like one of those, those are great.
02:27:28.559 --> 02:27:32.639
Uh oh, well, that turns out while we were talking, I just bought one for$2,500.
02:27:33.200 --> 02:27:34.639
And I was like, what the fuck?
02:27:34.799 --> 02:27:43.120
Like, how come everybody that talks to me about this trail 125 within 48 hours owns one for$2,500?
02:27:43.920 --> 02:27:46.719
And I'm like, I don't want to sell this bike for$2,500.
02:27:47.040 --> 02:27:49.280
I want to sell this bike for a lot more than that.
02:27:49.680 --> 02:27:53.920
I paid less than that, but I want to sell it for more than that because it's got 110 miles on it.
02:27:54.239 --> 02:27:55.280
And far called to death.
02:27:55.920 --> 02:27:56.719
This one's not so bad.
02:27:56.799 --> 02:27:58.559
The that first one I had was super farkled.
02:27:58.799 --> 02:28:02.399
This isn't that this one just had a non-fango removable, like a G V box on the back.
02:28:02.559 --> 02:28:06.159
Okay, and it had a luggage, a little six-pack rack on the front.
02:28:06.399 --> 02:28:09.760
Nice, and it had the the normal Honda style engine guards.
02:28:09.840 --> 02:28:10.000
Okay.
02:28:10.079 --> 02:28:11.440
Like very normal engine guards.
02:28:11.920 --> 02:28:15.120
But I couldn't sell it for like anything close.
02:28:15.200 --> 02:28:17.360
And every offer I got was$2,500.
02:28:17.680 --> 02:28:17.760
Okay.
02:28:18.079 --> 02:28:20.799
Everybody was like, I'll give you$2,500 for it right now.
02:28:20.959 --> 02:28:30.399
And I can't blame them because I went on Facebook Marketplace and every trail 125, and it was getting to be that this one being a 22 was getting to be four years old and kind of old.
02:28:30.799 --> 02:28:36.719
Whereas people were selling 2024s for 2,500 bucks in different colors.
02:28:36.879 --> 02:28:39.120
And I was like, I'm gonna die with this fucking thing.
02:28:40.000 --> 02:28:44.799
And then this guy called up and said, like, hey man, your your chocolate's in my peanut butter.
02:28:45.120 --> 02:28:48.000
Uh I want to train my wife how to ride dirty dirt.
02:28:48.399 --> 02:28:50.879
I put this bike on the racetrack a couple three times.
02:28:51.600 --> 02:28:52.799
Super nice guy, too.
02:28:52.879 --> 02:28:53.680
He's a podcast listener.
02:28:53.760 --> 02:28:56.319
He's he got a really nice trail one, the nicest trail one ten.
02:28:56.479 --> 02:28:58.000
You got the nicest trail 110 you can get.
02:28:58.079 --> 02:28:58.559
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:28:58.639 --> 02:29:00.559
Aside from buying a brand new one, right?
02:29:00.719 --> 02:29:02.639
And uh at a massive discount.
02:29:02.719 --> 02:29:07.360
And he got rid of the KTM track bike that he wasn't using on the track.
02:29:08.000 --> 02:29:09.760
So good for everybody, I think.
02:29:09.920 --> 02:29:11.120
I think it was good all around.
02:29:11.280 --> 02:29:18.239
And if somebody needs a KTM RC390 and they want to start doing what Sleepy does doing track days, but he didn't this is the perfect thing.
02:29:18.479 --> 02:29:21.680
But he just he did track stuff to it, but he didn't unstreet it.
02:29:21.840 --> 02:29:22.319
That's right.
02:29:22.559 --> 02:29:27.520
So you can actually still ride it and just like and like you said, buy that front thing for it, slap it on, and go race the track.
02:29:27.760 --> 02:29:32.079
Yeah, and he did the nuthugger, he did the you know, the tipsy turtle ball stopper.
02:29:32.319 --> 02:29:33.760
I can't believe the brakes on that thing.
02:29:33.840 --> 02:29:35.360
That thing stops like a fucking stuff.
02:29:35.600 --> 02:29:40.000
I was like, okay, it's got one caliper on the front, but it's also a small bike, it's probably gonna be okay.
02:29:40.239 --> 02:29:43.520
And I I wailed on the front brakes and was almost about to like fucking.
02:29:44.239 --> 02:29:45.360
I got the back tire off, yeah.
02:29:45.520 --> 02:29:48.559
I got the back tire off the air off the ground quite easily.
02:29:48.719 --> 02:29:49.680
And he did the right stuff.
02:29:49.760 --> 02:29:55.120
He put engine guards on it, he put uh sliders on the the front axles, he put sliders on the back.
02:29:55.360 --> 02:29:56.239
He did a good job.
02:29:56.399 --> 02:29:58.559
The stuff he put on it is all very logical.
02:29:58.799 --> 02:30:00.399
It's got it's got middle.
02:30:00.639 --> 02:30:07.840
I'm sorry, it's got Nelson's led, it's got
Nelson's ledges cred, it's got pit race RIP, it's got pit race cred.
02:30:08.399 --> 02:30:09.840
So it's a good bike.
02:30:10.000 --> 02:30:12.239
I mean, overall, I'm very happy with it for 1100 miles.
02:30:13.520 --> 02:30:18.319
I think it would take a lot of the nerve-wrackingness of like not wondering if you're gonna murder yourself that day.
02:30:18.479 --> 02:30:26.239
Like could you imagine going out on a racetrack on a motorcycle that really, really, really won't kill you unless you super duper fuck up?
02:30:26.319 --> 02:30:26.479
Right.
02:30:26.639 --> 02:30:28.719
Like you have to run it into the fucking hay bill.
02:30:28.959 --> 02:30:32.639
Or worse, or like yeah, you're not gonna low side and just die.
02:30:32.799 --> 02:30:33.040
Yeah.
02:30:33.200 --> 02:30:34.239
Well, I mean, anything's possible.
02:30:34.719 --> 02:30:39.520
Speaking of low side, speaking of Haybell, did you see that Andrea and Paul had the sidecar?
02:30:39.920 --> 02:30:43.360
They had a close encounter with the airwall at uh Blackhawk.
02:30:43.440 --> 02:30:48.239
So our our our sponsored sidecar team, Paul and Andrea, at Gearhead Racing.
02:30:48.319 --> 02:30:51.520
Uh, I guess it was throttle stuck wide open by the sound of it, by the video.
02:30:51.920 --> 02:30:57.760
Because like if you see the skid marks, it obviously had brakes, so it either pushed obviously it had brakes.
02:30:57.920 --> 02:31:01.600
Yeah, by the 11ses, there were straight up 11s on the racetrack.
02:31:02.239 --> 02:31:05.920
Like 60 mile or 60 feet long 11s straight into the airwall.
02:31:06.079 --> 02:31:10.159
And you could you could see, you could hear the audio in the in the clip.
02:31:10.239 --> 02:31:13.680
Yeah, the bike is still chatting at seven or eight thousand rpm.
02:31:14.559 --> 02:31:17.520
And it's and it's like, I'm gonna eat this air wall.
02:31:17.760 --> 02:31:18.399
And it did.
02:31:18.639 --> 02:31:19.440
Yeah, it did.
02:31:19.600 --> 02:31:22.879
And so somehow the air wall did what the airwalls are supposed to do.
02:31:23.040 --> 02:31:29.520
It took all that energy of a whole sidecar rig and two humans, it absorbed it, and it spit Andrew out.
02:31:30.239 --> 02:31:32.159
Paul didn't he didn't spit it in spit Paul out.
02:31:32.239 --> 02:31:33.520
He was kind of wrapped up with the bike a little bit.
02:31:33.680 --> 02:31:34.159
Yeah, a little bit.
02:31:34.239 --> 02:31:40.000
He said that the impact, um, uh the airwall actually fused to his his shield.
02:31:40.399 --> 02:31:42.479
Like really with enough force that it like he said.
02:31:42.799 --> 02:31:43.760
That it like bonded.
02:31:43.840 --> 02:31:44.159
Yeah.
02:31:44.399 --> 02:31:44.879
Wow.
02:31:45.040 --> 02:31:45.280
Yeah.
02:31:45.440 --> 02:31:46.559
Oh, that's wild.
02:31:46.719 --> 02:31:47.360
Yeah, yeah.
02:31:47.520 --> 02:31:48.159
But he's alright.
02:31:48.239 --> 02:31:52.799
He said maybe a slight concussion, which undoubtedly, but he can't tell that from normal.
02:31:54.959 --> 02:31:56.239
Kind of the normal operating system.
02:31:56.559 --> 02:31:59.840
We have we operate on the same, I think a lot.
02:31:59.920 --> 02:32:00.719
So that's fine.
02:32:00.879 --> 02:32:01.600
He's a good dude.
02:32:01.760 --> 02:32:02.799
He's a very good dude.
02:32:02.879 --> 02:32:03.120
Yeah.
02:32:03.200 --> 02:32:08.799
I Paul and Andrea, much love for you guys, and I I hope you can get your shit back together because you'll be fine.
02:32:09.040 --> 02:32:13.840
But yeah, it's it's clearly he sounded it sounded like it wasn't the first time he'd had a throttle hang up.
02:32:14.319 --> 02:32:20.879
So yeah, because the guys were saying if you hadn't checked your throttle tube in a while, the frame can sometimes you know dig into the side and then you're fucked.
02:32:21.120 --> 02:32:22.799
So what you're saying is fuck carbs.
02:32:23.040 --> 02:32:25.920
Well, yeah, first of all, fucking no shit.
02:32:26.079 --> 02:32:26.879
Absolutely.
02:32:27.120 --> 02:32:27.840
Yeah, yeah.
02:32:28.000 --> 02:32:33.360
First, my first priority ever about any motorcycle I'm gonna be taking anywhere is gonna be how many carbs does it have?
02:32:33.440 --> 02:32:34.319
Is the answer zero?
02:32:34.399 --> 02:32:35.200
We're gonna have a good day.
02:32:35.280 --> 02:32:35.600
Yep.
02:32:35.680 --> 02:32:36.479
Yep, absolutely.
02:32:36.559 --> 02:32:37.200
So that's it.
02:32:37.360 --> 02:32:38.479
That's all we got.
02:32:38.959 --> 02:32:40.719
I hope you guys enjoyed the podcast.
02:32:40.799 --> 02:32:42.319
We're very happy to have Sarah here.
02:32:43.360 --> 02:32:43.760
Thanks for coming.
02:32:43.920 --> 02:32:45.040
Play us out of here, Johnny.
02:32:45.200 --> 02:32:46.159
Ride fast and take chances.
02:32:46.319 --> 02:32:47.680
Hey, go bossanova.
02:33:02.159 --> 02:33:04.399
Hit the red button, get us out of here sleeping.
02:33:04.799 --> 02:33:05.360
Jesus.
02:33:05.920 --> 02:33:07.520
That was a painful owl.
02:33:09.040 --> 02:33:10.399
I can still taste it in my mouth.
02:33:12.239 --> 02:33:13.200
Yes, exactly.
02:33:16.479 --> 02:33:17.680
I don't even know what that means.
