Episode 151 – Tucked man boobs and big white bellies July 9, 2013 This week the guys are triumphantly back and triumphantly a day later than hoped… Eh, it happens. Anyway, the guys explore the new VStrom 1000, talk about Buell of India – sort of – and chat about the ongoing rumor out of Italy. Brammo on the rebound… er… recall list. And my goodness, there’s feedback aplenty. Plus… James gets a free tire! FREE TIRE!!! All this and more on The Pace Motorcycle Podcast, found along with the show notes at thepacepodcast.com.

This week we don’t have a full show, and we officially announce our switching to a 2-week release schedule for the remainder of the summer. Next week, July 8th, we’ll be back with a full show and then look for us every 2 weeks through August. Have a great summer, enjoy some riding, and for those in The United States, enjoy a happy Independence Day later this week. Thanks!

  Episode 150: That’s your baggage, dude. June 24, 2013 News: Lotus Motorcycles… sort of. Yamaha FZ-09 triple. It’s real! It’s here. It’s cheap. Yamaha says more is on the way… Ducati Scrambler?

No full show this week. Real life, travel and feeling under the weather all conspired to get in the way of a show this week. We’ll be back next week with a full show chock full of feedback and updates. Stay tuned! Or in the words of the great Martha Stewart, “It’s a very good thing.”

Episode 149 – Max is kind of a jerk Mon June 10, 2013 James and Chris discuss the cultural phenomenon known as Christopher Walken. Ok, not really; just an honorable mention. It’s a feedback extravaganza this week while the guys get caught up on feedback. James – no, no… not THAT James – had a minor incident and we point you to the forum discussion where his bike pics exist. Chris has decided that he’s selling his reliable bike and getting a Ducati Indiana. Nope… that’s just a flat out lie, but he does link you to a picture of one. Keep your bucket handy.

Episode 148: But they don’t fall down! June 3, 2013 In the show’s triumphant return to the internets at large, James and Chris answer letters from listeners, discuss with a fiery passion the electric bike movement, and brag about all their new gear. They also take themselves to task over forgetting they have a website… which is at http://thepacepodcast.com, by the way… and take a moment to talk about it. The website. The one at thepacepodcast.com. That one. The guys discuss the current state of the E2E Rally – 200 participants!!!! Team Take That, The Pace (aka, Wheelnerds) are leading the charge at a blistering zero points. Not that anyone’s bragging or anything. TAKE THAT WHEELNERDS TEAM TAKE THAT THE PACE! (whew) And did we mention gear reviews…? James discusses a few items he picked up for use in the garage and out on the road, and Chris talks about his new jacket. How many jackets does one guy need…? Tune in and find out. Hint: Every of. That’s how many.

May 22, 2013 Hey guys, No full show this week. Instead I give you my rambling excuses and sloppy begging for apologies. Seriously, though, this is all me this week. I just let my week get away from the with some stuff I have going on, and the show suffered this week. My apologies. — ch

Episode 146 – On the road again! Monday May 6, 2013 This week the guys are playing it loose and cool. James is traveling and Chris is fresh off the road. No real news being discussed; the guys are catching up after a 3 week hiatus, lots of travel, broken bikes and… did we talk about travel?

2013 – Apr – 21 James is traveling this week so Chris is left to flounder around in the garage and solo in front of the mic. It’s not a pretty sight… or sound. Try to enjoy, anyway.

Episode 145 – A Goldwing Ridgeline April 14, 2013 Short show this week. We have a quick product review for S3 cases, then talk about a few brief news items. Then we dive into feedback and give a rally update. Really… that’s all there is. Oh, and we figure that the best thing Honda can do is make a Goldwing branded Ridgeline pickup truck. I think James almost barfed a little at that one.

Frank Luo – SV, Ninja 650, ER6N? Elliot Williams – Thruxton or Street Triple?

Episode 144 – The Rally Gross Episode! March 24, 2013 Rally info! This episode we go over the initial info on the rally. 101 entrants so far! You guys are killing it. We talk about some feed back and as for news… oh yeah… nada. Zilch. Zippo. Nuttin’ Honey!

What if one dealer has both Ural and Royal Enfield. Can I submit 2 pictures of the same dealer for both categories? BJ_CT The category Covered Bridges seemed simple enough until I did some research. There are a host of Covered Bridges that may not be what you intended. I give you two examples from lunch hour. Bridge 1 is very old and spans a dam but it is a walking bridge only and leads to the mill on the left. Bridge 2 looks to be newish, spans a creek or dry wash and was probably never driven over by anything bigger than a bicycle. They are bridges (they span something) and they are covered. Do these count or not count? Thanks. 02Tac I have a question. How do you score it when a picture contains multiple things as this one does? There are two separate historical markers. The one on the right is for Warner Mifflin and the one on the left is for the Motherkiln Friends Meeting House. Feedback: John Hopkins J.L. Perdue Roland Cannon Erik Johnson Lance Kimbrough James
