    Podcast 672: The Misfits Rally Extravaganza

    2026-04-20 | 1h 55 mins.
    The Misfits Rally is in the bag, and oh what a fun time we had. There were street rides, ADV rides, dirtbiking, a food tour, games and more. But the best part about the rally is all of the people who attended. There were long nights in front of the fire pit, with drinks and stories being shared. Thanks to everyone who attended for making it the best rally to date. We were also fortunate to have Rob Day from ADV Moto Pros there offering private instruction. We sat down with Rob in front of an audience and talked to him about riding technique, the pros and cons of different off road bikes, and how much fun he had at the rally.
    The next day Emma entertained the crowd with a recording of Ask Miss Emma live. They asked her any technical questions they had, and Emma gave thorough answers. Thanks to Breaking Away Adventures, ADV Moto Pros and all of the Misfits who attended. What a great event!

    Podcast 671: Suzuki's Biggest Flop, The Gladius

    2026-04-13 | 1h 50 mins.
    Is the Suzuki Gladius a good bike? Yes. Then why did it fail so big? It was the next version of an already popular bike, the SV650. Known for being great performance at a great price, the SV650 became a hit on the road and on the track. So where did Suzuki go wrong? They marketed it to women. This backfired in 2 ways. Men labeled it a 'girls' bike, and women were insulted that they substituted aesthetics over performance. Suzuki learned their lesson, and the follow up to the Gladius was the gen 3 SV650. We go into detail about what went wrong and also talk about why the SV650 was so great (and still is).
    With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel.

    Podcast 669: Tell Me Whyeee Miss Emma!

    2026-03-30 | 1h 58 mins.
    Welcome to another rousing episode, where you get to learn all about things you didn't think you needed to know. Liza is back from her trip picking up her new bike which is not a Tracer, or is it? Hmmmm. Either way, it's a sweet triple that purrs like a kitten. This brings up some questions, like why is the gas gauge designed for maximum anxiety? And why aren't there more sweet triples on the road? In fact, this whole episode is basically Emma answering questions about all sorts of things, and continuing to wow us with her knowledge. Is there anything she doesn't know?

    Podcast 668: The Honda Rebel is Cool, No Really

    2026-03-23 | 1h 52 mins.
    Some call it a girl bike, some call it a beginner bike, and some call it a tacky Harley wannabe. But the Honda Rebel has withstood the test of time, with many of the original 250's still rolling in motorcycle schools around the world. The Rebel has given access to riding to countless people, and with the modern versions, even more will get their start on a Honda. The Rebel has earned it's stripes and has become an icon in the motorcycle world, and with it's largest model the Rebel 1100, will continue to be a part of the Honda family for a long time.
    Like the Rebel, D30 armor has been a game changer in the industry. We tell you about the origins, uses, and how to tell what kind you may have in your gear.
    With Liza, Neal, Miss Emma and Bagel.
