Edition 60
On this week's show, we travel all over the place and talk about various topics. Drag racing again, Community stuff in Western Canada, a travelling motorcycle show, a board game and Biker Radio Magazine gets interviewed for the second time in two weeks! Must have been tough to find guests over the holidays! This is Biker Radio Magazine's Edition 60.
Edition 59
This week, Biker Radio Magazine jumps around a little. We talk to a guy that write for ' The Rider's Mag ' in Ontario Canada and why he does it for free. We also talk to Bar Hodgson about the Toronto Super Show. Rich Christensen joins us with an exclusive on what is going on with ' Arm Drop Live ' with some really cool info on a project that he has funded plus, Biker Radio Magazine gets the tables turned. WE get interviewed for a change and there are a few laughs in this segment. This is...
Edition 58
This week we talk news, upcoming events and a celebration of a friend out in California and his contributions to the Chopper industry. It has been a great week in the B.R.M. offices as the phones have been smoking trying to keep shows on line through the holiday for those that have the time to listen every Friday and the others that save them for the moments in the shop. Alone. Welcome, Howard Kelly of S&S Cycle, Jim Betlach of the V-Twin Expo in Cinci and Jim Fricke of The Harley Davidson...
Edition 57
This show deals with a few things. Bill 117 is revisited as it is of great importance to riders in Ontario. Melanie Deveau of CKLW AM 800 has allowed us to use an interview that deals with the information in the Bill. It's very well done. Only the best from Melanie. Also, Cyril Huze joins us to talk about his starts. Curt from Grem's Gear, Tim Remus from Wolfgang Publishing and Adam from Pimp Styxxx all tell us about affordable gift ideas for the Biker in your life for Christmas. This is...
Edition 56
This week we get back to August and the Bonneville trials as we talk to the pilot of Bob Williams' Streamliner. This was what the person that rode in the vehicle had gone through, in his own words. Bar Hodgson is his name and we hope you enjoy the insider's view of the ride. Also we get into tattoos. Why? It just seemed like we should have a look at the process. Chuck Boughner and Darrin Trudell both of Tattoos and Things in Windsor, Ontario let us in the shop for some talk and some laughs....
Edition 55
We finish, for now, our segments on the private members bill 117 and speak to the person directly responsible for tabling this in the hopes that it will become law. This is an interesting interview. One of our other topics today was covered because of the article on the link below. If you have a few minutes, read it and you will see a problem build that never should have. Meet two of the people mention/quoted in the article and see what happened after a couple of phone calls. Also, Keith...
Edition 54
The week we deal with a law maker. More clearly... someone that has tabled a bill in Ontario, Canada and if passed, it may mean that passengers on motorcycles must be under 14 years old. Yes, even if you come from out of province to visit... your passenger will need to be 14 or older. We discuss this topic this week. We also finish our interviews with Charley Boorman and Billy Lane and welcome Keith Ball to the mix. This is Edition 54.
Edition 53
Welcome to year two of Biker Radio Magazine. We are making a few light changes to the show and we are always hunting great guests and this week we have 4 of them. California, anywhere U.S.A., the U.K. and Melbourne, FLA this week. We speak to Doug Bingham, Beaner, Charlie Boorman and Billy Lane this week and I can't thank these guys enough for a great start to our new year. I ask a favor of you in this show and look forward to your input. This is Edition 53.
Edition 52-The Best of Show Pt IV
Well, it's finally here. Edition 52. There were times when the show was loaded to the server 10 minutes before posting on the site and other times when we just had so much info, we needed to chop guest segments just to crunch into one hour. We have done our usual quarterly ' Best Of ' which is really a chance to showcase some previous guests for no other reason than to give you a chance to hear some of the stuff you may have missed or just go ' Oh yah! I remember that '. We'll be taking a...
Edition 51-The Chopper Show
We have been trying to wrangle one guest to make this into something bigger than the other shows on customs but times and schedules and availability of one guest made that quite impossible. We did the next best thing. We all have seen the new chopper craze and what has happened since the industry went on life support. The people that want a chopper will still get one if they are serious and the rest will sell the parts of they collected but never completed the project and you will find...
Edition 50-The Drag Race Show 2.0
Last week we covered Drag Racing and called the show 1.0. We got started with some guests and brought one back for this edition because there was so much more ground that needed to be covered. The elapsed time on this one is 60:04... slow by track time but the guests this week will make you wonder where the hour went. This is ' Drag Race 2.0 '
Edition 49-The Drag Race Show 1.0
Drag Racing.... it ain't just cars and it ain't all sponsors. People do this for fun and have for years and we do not suggest honing your skills on the street. It is dangerous to you and me. If you want to pilot a bike down a course, do it on a course... please. Anything else is wrong and you could end up in jail or a box. We offer some cool guests in this show and the one that follows so please enjoy and don't forget that you might like to consider blowing the doors off someone but the...
Edition 48-The Round Table Show Pt II
In this week's show we let you become the fly on the wall as a group of friends, bikers, and builders stop by the Biker Radio Magazine studio for an afternoon of camaraderie, food, and a great many laughs. Hope you enjoy this free-spirited free-for-all as much as we did. This is 'The Round Table Show Part II'.
Edition 47-The Electrical Show
So far, Biker Radio Magazine has covered a bunch of stuff that deals with bikes on the tech side. We have talked about drive trains, frames, body work/fibre glass and front ends. The engines have all been up to you. Today we have a look at the dark side. We look at electricity... or ELECTRICKERY if you want to call it that. Our first interview takes fully half of this show. We also talk about things on a simpler level with our second guest. We also talk to a school teacher in Minnesota and '...
Edition 46-The Welding Show Pt II
We hadn't planned on making the welding show a two part thing but at the last minute a scheduled guest had some family stuff to deal with and that plagued us again this week. Family comes first. A quick gear change and a call to a friend got us back on track with the task at hand and that was simply to offer insight into welding cast steel, iron and aluminum. The main point is to explain what is involved and not teach a class on this topic. When you go to a shop and get a quote, these are...
Edition 45-The Welding Show Pt I
This is the first of a two parts show. It was supposed to be a one part thing but even best laid plans go bad at times. This was beyond the control of us or our scheduled guest and we hope things will shake out O.K. for the second half of the show next week. Still, we cover a lot of ground with this hour and our guests have not let us down. Check out the Home Page for a cool video link. It's short but worth the look. This is ' The Welding Show pt I '
Edition 44-The Bits and Pieces Show
This week we grabbed all that would answer a phone or loan us a bike to ride. We talked about and road tested the B.R.P. Spyder, we called on Kevin Alsop of Big Bear Choppers, we talked to Edge at The Horse Magazine about Smoke Out West and tapped Grail for a commentary. We also add our own commentary and for the first time left the MOTHER OF ALL SWEAR WORDS in my editorial. Beware for young ears that there is one segment where we drop a bomb. You have been warned. The is ' The Bits and...
Edition 43-The Front End Show
Making the bike go is one thing. Dressing it up with a complimentary mix of form and function is an art unto itself. While deciding on paint and the powder coat we also look at the way we steer the beast and to that end we decide on the forks. Do we do something with springs and oil for dampening or do we go with something a little more Old School? That's the cool part about building a custom... it's up to us what we do and not what the dealer has in stock. This is ' The Front End Show '.
Edition 42-The Road to Bonneville Show Pt III
We think we know what that feeling is. The office is getting feedback from the salt this year and that strange pull west is all about Utah and the people that are making a run for a record. As we wind up for one last kick at speed for the summer we talk to a couple of familiar names from early shows and add a new one to our list. This show was cut down from it's original one hour and seventeen minutes to about one hour and three minutes. It was tough but we have another good one for you. This...
Edition 41-The Road to Bonneville Show Pt II
We are getting the urge to head west. It's August and quite hot out west this time of year. Why do I get the feeling I need to be on the road west? Not a clue. Dan, the web master wants to head east... from Japan and meet up... in Utah. I don't get it. I think I need another drink. What is it that starts calling Biker Radio Magazine west this time of year? I can't put my finger on it. If the staff here comes up with any ideas, we'll pass them on. This is " The Road to Bonneville ptII ".
Edition 40-The Road to Bonneville Show Pt I
Last summer was a real eye opener for us here. By that I mean, Biker Radio Magazine was starting to come down with something. None of us here could explain it. It was a need, but nothing we could put our finger on. As summer now is in full swing and August is on or calender... we get that same, strange feeling. It's like a song that is just under the din of the crowd. You can just hear the tune, barely, and the name is on the tip of your tongue but you can't identify that... thing. We'll let...
Edition 39-The Best of Part III
Can you believe that there are now 39 hours of free Biker Radio Magazine editions? Nothing had to be signed up for, no spam and no-one has been asked to pay one dime for the information. This is the third ' Best of ' portion for the year and it deals with some of the people that have appeared in the last 12 weeks. We enjoy all our guests and thank everyone who takes part in the show but we only have room for so much in an hour and here it is. ' Editon 39 - The Best of Part III '
Edition 38-The Mid-Summer Show
Summer is screaming by faster and faster. Is it that work keeps getting in the way of riding or are we just getting older? This week we talked to a number of different people. Call it ' visiting ' if you like. As much as it is great doing a specific topic every week, once in a while it is important to stop and visit some friends and some friends visit us too. Grab something cool to drink and take this disc to the shop. This is ' The Mid-Summer Show '.
Edition 37-The Detailing Show
Water spots, dust, chain lube, bugs and if you own an older bike... leaks that distract from the look of the bike can make you nuts. We can't help you with the leaks but we can off some direction from a couple of pros. We also have a guy that is putting out a comic book that has to do with choppers on this show as well as our usual cast of characters. This is ' The Detailing Show '.
Edition 36-The Canadian Show
After looking at the ads in magazines and seeing the numbers are down all over the bike industry it was time to have a look at Canadian Builders. Do they suffer from a downturn in the U.S.? Some builders you have heard of and others you have not BUT the idea is to give insight into how the whole business is changing in the recent past and how people are making out in The Great White North. Why? Why not? This is ' The Canadian Show '.
Edition 35-The Side Car Show
As we look at all things cool on bikes we can't pass up the chance to look at the sidecar. Now, some may say there is nothing cool about the sidecar no matter what you do to it and that's fine by us. I personally think skulls are overdone and would prefer not having them associated with my bike or clothing and others can't get enough. Whatever. Today we talk sidecars and more than that, we learn a little about the people that sell them and use them. We think this show is very relevant and...
Edition 34-The Camp Show
Gas prices this summer are cutting into my beer money so something has to give. Where am I going to save a buck? I won't be staying in any fancy Motels on the side of the road. Hey... I HAVE to have BEER! I want a Biker Friendly place to stay and I want good gear so I know I will be dry and warm when I lay my head down for the night. I made some calls... found a couple of places to stay, a place to get outfitted and we talked to Kiwi Mike about a cool bike he just built for S&S. This the '...
Edition 33-The Resources Show
As the summer continues we have little time for TV or sitting for anything except family and friends. Just the way it should be. We started to think about all the projects that people have started in the last year or so and wondered if those folks were facing brick walls because of lack of info or lack of confidence. We simply wanted to help with ideas for learning. While we were at it, we wanted Poker and Toy Run organizers to look at event safety a different way so we offer a resource for...
Edition 32-The Summer Rally Series 3 - Friday the 13th
Summer is really gearing up and with the " Attack of the Killer Tomatoes " in the U.S. and high gas prices, people don't know if they are going to get bent over the gas pump or bent over a toilet this season. We continue the " Summer Rally Series " and visit the U.K. for a wrap on the I.O.M. as well as bounce around the lower 48 to talk rallies and such with events happening this month and in August. This is " The Summer Rally Series - Show Number 3 ".
Edition 31-The Summer Rally Series 2
As the summer starts to heat up, more and more people head out to ride and knocking on doors during the height of vacation season isn't the problem... getting an answer is. We at Bike Radio Magazine present another in The Summer Rally Series so that you can get a handle on the events this summer and we can get excited people to talk about the cool stuff they are doing or presenting. This is 'The Summer Rally Series 2'.
