    The anecdote about some European brands focusing on the customer experience instead fixing the reliability issues was interesting. Reminds me of the time I was visiting London for a seminar once. The Spanish hotel chain totally dropped the ball when all delegations arrived simultaneously for check-in. Instead of adding reception capacity, being Spanish, they quickly tripled the staff serving tapas to the waiting crowd. 😅

I learned a lot: wow - the differences between UK and US views on three wheelers and on e-bikes. Maybe UKers have closer emotional ties with motorcycles and less with autos than in US? Looking forward to next season!!

    The solution to the mowing is clear. A) start with a cooler of your favorite adult beverage on the tractor. b) start podcast AFTER the first two rounds of "detail mowing". 3) Blast it on the the straights. IV) Use a bathroom break from said adult beverages to comment and load a "classic episode". dE) finish mowing without hitting anything. FYI, 3.5 acres aka 3-beer lawn myself.

    Season 7 ends and it is sad. Soon season 8 will begin and it is good. Plus I gave Chase a super long list of "a whole nuther podcast" ideas for season 8. Sorry to say I am not familiar with Alastairs' channel but will be checking it out soon! If I were to recommend a beginner bike that would be great for everyone I would go with the SV650, jack of all trades for a first bike. I think Shaun should kit out the SV650 in case it turns out he doesn't like doing track days. I would also wonder how comfortable he's going to be on that Triumph. I like electric motorcycles, that new Zero in particular, but I have yet to ever see one on the road. Not sure I would buy one and with how fuel efficient most bikes are I feel like why bother, but if that what floats your toboggan! Once again Jeremy Clarkson comes into this debate about performance vs. reliability. "Italian vehicles are very pretty and made to show you just how good a vehicle can be...briefly!" Sums it up perfectly I should think. No idea about the engine 0-12 on this season, yeesh! Would still like to see an East Coast live show! Great season old sports, enjoy your time off, and I look forward to season 8!

As a "Just about ready to get my first bike finally" 30-something, it's great to continuously hear different views on what motorcycling means to people as well as their opinions on certain bikes (especially certain Italian transverse V-twins, the V7 is currently my number 1 pick for first bike). Best thing i've learned from HSLS is how to make a better decision when i go to pull the trigger, thank you!

    Long time listener, first time caller. I wanted to chime in regarding the Kawi ZX4-RR. I was VERY excited to see this bike coming to America, and I wonder if I'm the demographic Kawasaki envisioned for this bike. I'm 49 and am a huge fan of 400cc inline four motorcycles. When I got my license in 1990, my dream bike at the time was the 1991 CBR 600 F2 in black, pink, and purple, but it was basically un-insurable for a teenager. I instead bought a new leftover 1989 Honda CB-1, the two-year-only naked sport bike with Honda's 13,500 rpm CBR 400 motor, gear-driven cams and all. I moved onto something bigger in just a couple years, but always loved that jewel of a motor and how weird and rare the CB-1 was. When Kawi announced the ZX4-RR, I knew I had to have one. My dealer quickly sold their allotment (one) before I could act, so I located a minty CB-1 and picked it up instead. It's so small, and so revvy. I love it. And I told my wife I saved us $6000 buying it instead of the Kawi!

But also with another three-wheeled model from the same company - Reliant Rialto (1982-98). Both of them were available for driving only with a motorcycle license in the UK...

    The engine quiz showed a Honda Fireblade from 2007 and not 2008. The exhaust is under the seat on 2007 and from 2008 it started being on the side.

    Here in the UK, it's mostly either the leather and colours lads or disabled riders that ride the wide wheel trikes. The Reliant Robin is hilarious to drive, my pal had one, and you are in almost a racing seat, legs out in front of you. Mad fun, but careful on corners. Never seen a Niken on the road, although when sitting outside a cafe one day, with my MT09 tracer parked up, a guy came up to me and was totally evangelical about how superior the Niken was to my MT09. It was bizarre, he was absolutely scolding me for my choice of bike. Fortunately for him I had finished my coffee, or he;d have been wearing it. Great episode as ever lads. p.s. My KTM 390 Adventure is a fabulous motorcycle. KTM dealers and KTM themselves are diabolical to deal with. They need to sort themselves out, because they have a terrible reputation, and sadly, from personal experience, a well deserved terrible reputation. KTM pass the buck if you have problems with dealers, citing 'independent franchise' drivel.

    on the other hand with Japanese reliability...I started on a 2008 used Kawi versys 650...presumably made in Japan ...zero relability issues. I now have a Kawi versys 300 brand new with a thermostat issue that I've delt with for months. I don't want to blame the Thiland assembly... and while I am team green still I want my next bike to actually be made in Japan the 400 rr or the Africa Twin...

    It was so interesting hearing the British perspective on electric bikes and so foreign to me personally but I can kind of understand it from their perspective. As much as we(Americans) feel like our MotorSports are being bullied by regulations the UK and Europe are so far past us for the most part. If I’m not mistaken the get taxed on horsepower on their cars. They have to do MOT inspections on bikes and cars. They have tiered licensing etc… and we are the Wild West still. I can see how enthusiasts could fear electric bikes gaining traction and ICE bikes being further outlawed or saddled with taxes.
