Thank you so much for listening to season 2 of Monki Moto Pod! It was more than I could hope for and it persists into year 3!

When I was a kid, I idolized Smokey the Bear. A large brown bear with a marketing purpose. The United States Parks service used the image of the brown bear to educate the public on wildfire prevention. Each 4th of July, I'd see Smokey (probably a dude in a suit) walking and waving to kids, accompanied by two...

Mark and I had one hectic week. Between business ownership and day jobs, plus our plumbing needed a major repair we didn't feel ready to race at Golden State Championship. Racing was part of the weekend plan, so I looked elsewhere for the challenge we were hoping for and signed up for SRA GP at Glen Helen Raceway.

Big hill surprises, baby bird omelets, and finding our limits were some of the great highlights of the weekend. Tune in ...

Motorcycling is a game of risk management, but for many, the stakes are higher than they realize. With motocross cited as one of the most dangerous sports for children and off-road riding accounting for a staggering number of preventable injuries, the question isn't just how we ride, but how we learn.

Studies show that professional coaching can slash injury risk by up to 60%, yet many dirt riders still rely on "trial and error." In ...

Hi All,

I did my best to report on actual news (yey?). Although I did my best, I wasn’t able to convince Mr Flyer, Dachner’s attorney, to join the podcast conversation. I spoke with Michael Gougis, fellow journalist and motorcycle rider (racer & test rider) to talk the basics about lawsuits and similar cases.
