Throttled Motorcycle Podcast

In this, our 220th show, Kevin was unfortunately not present due to a respiratory illness.  However we had Chris Geiss and Tom Ptashnik with us and they always make for an interesting show. Rides: Tom did a pretty challenging ride into the Georgia mountains after a recent snow, so over the gravel they throw on the road for icy conditions. Larry throws in the benefits of the Niken, and a discussion ensues. Chris did a couple of rides, one in the chill with heated gear and then talks about his trip to California with his partner, Gina.  Meeting up with Larry in San Francisco for dinner. Larry didn’t ride and gives lots of excuses, then talks about his insights around his electric bike. Tom admits he just ordered two electric bikes and a bike discussion ensues. News: We segue into an article about Energica selling more bikes in 2 months than all of last year and discuss whether this means electric bikes are turning the corner. Triumph’s announcement about moving their manufacturing to Thailand and Brazil
