Thanks for the shout-out guys! When I was working in orthopedics, it was in an outpatient specialty clinic in Santa Barbara county, so we'd often see patients after they had already been treated in an emergency room or urgent care. Since I often commuted to work on my motorcycle, I would catch a lot of heat from my fellow nurses when a patient with a motorcycle injury would come in. The fact that most of the moto-related injuries that I remember splinting or casting were from motocross riding helped me push back on my colleagues a bit :).

I agree on the international travel comment. I was fortunate to travel to most of the US, much of Europe and a good part of Asia during my career and I found that people are more alike than different no matter where you go. Most people were very friendly in nearly every country I visited. Now, most stereotypes have some grain of truth and people in Germany and France tend to be less friendly and outgoing than are people in Ireland and Italy, but the differences tend to be minor. Mark Twain was right on the money when he said “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

High tire nooner, low end grunt V Strom podcast…

"Can you or can you not read, Spurgeon Dunbar?" - Zach should've asked if a bottle of Zambuca was enough for Spurg's English teacher.

V85TT for the Alaska ride. Big tank, shaft drive and on the 2021's tubeless tires.

I forgot the last podcast and wasn't prepared for Zach's "costume." Nearly choked on my coffee lol

I listen to the regular podcast, but had to jump over to KZread for the frankenbike photoshops. So well done, great work Peter J!

My son started out on a GSXR1000 while he was in the military. Against my advice of course. I've been riding for over 40 years and have never owned a liter bike. I've just bought an MT07 at the age of 67. It scared him so bad he doesn't even want to ride anymore. He sold it for next to nothing.

This was my first bike I owned as well. It all comes down to how much control you have with your throttle. Don't goose the throttle if you're not ready for the feeling it offers, especially when in the power band. I enjoyed not having to shift when accelerating and going up steep grades. Sorry to hear he didn't sell it for what it was worth, the market right now is hot for bikes or vehicles in general.

My middle son, without consultation, went out and bought a brand new (then) FZ-09 and had it trailered home before he even had his driver's license. I said there's no way that's the first bike he's going to ride, so I went and bought a beat up '92 CB750 for him to learn on, which is now my daily rider. It was nice that he, his brother and I all got to do the MSF together. His brother bought a used Ninja 300, loves it, has put 30k on it over 4 years in Michigan, and doesn't want any other bike. Middle son has since blown throw a ridiculous number (IMO) of bikes in 4 or so years: (2) MT/FZ 09s, (2) MT 07s, Ducati Panigale, Aprilia RSV4, Husqvarna 701, WR 250, ZX-6R and I bet I'm forgetting one or more. All of them (other than the WR 250) were, according to him, "the last bike I'll ever need." It blows my mind. I spent $400 on my Craigslist special plus another $1,500 or so functionally restoring it.

Zach, 10,000mi in 4 weeks is doable, but you’ll be tired. Just because you’re on your bike, on “vacation” doesn’t mean that it’s not tiring, that’s an average of 340mi/day which is fine if you’re in a car and you don’t want to see anything, but if you’re on a bike, wanna take in the sights and enjoy, I would drop the average to a max of 300mi a day, and add a day of rest every 5 days. You’ll enjoy the trip a lot more if you’re rested. Also it’s safer to be well rested. Good luck!

Ride Modes. I'm a BMW K1600GTL owner here. Solo, I ride 80% of the time in 'Road' and then occasionally bump it to "Dynamic" if I want to get frisky. I will go to "Rain" mode when it's wet, but I'm primarily a fair-weather rider, so that generally only happens when I'm caught out in the rain on trips. When I do use "Rain" mode a lot, is when I'm riding 2-Up - even when it's dry. It simply makes for a much smoother & pleasant ride for my passenger. Far less jerky on up and down shifts and my passenger (usually my wife) doesn't bash her helmet into mine nearly as often.

Wow guys you hit it out of the park on so many level's in this pod cast. I love Itchy Boots and what she does and now I have another amazing You Tube channel to check out from Guatemala. It bring this old guy to tears to see what these amazing ambassador's of world travel on motorcycles are doing especially in helping young women and showing that most of the people in the world are good and kind people. As Mark at Biker Bits says Keep on keeping on. Thanks guys and gals from RevZilla.

For beautiful bikes, the Ducati Sport Classic might my favorite. It might not an original pick, but I love how it blends so many different elements from different styles. Spoked wheels, twin pipes, half fairing, seat cowl, trellis frame, v-twin, aggressive riding position. Classic and modern, sporty and casual. Love from Toronto for all that you boys do!

1:19:00 I priced out gen 1 z1000 rear shocks some 2-3 years ago. Theres no track in the close diameter of my dwelling, never been so I skipped it. Thought provoking how we learn to live *well within* the limits of our platforms. Zack and Ari know the popularity of suspension dicussions are not good. Thanks for being the exception.

Great episode, worthy of the penultimate title. Excellent showcase of the ruffly dog stuff, seems weird but totally relatable to want to take your dog with and seems like they create awesome stuff.

Spurg's Dad is a kick! More Dads!

Thank you for the podcast. It is my absolute favorite. In regards to ride modes - for some bikes and usage situations it makes a bit more sense, example: Husky 701/KTM 690 has two. One, for road with all ABS and TC on. Mode 2 for offroad with relaxed TC and ABS on front only. And you can switch between the two while riding. I find myself using this much more often than I used to do on F850GS. Cheers!

This is totally like sitting around the campfire after a long day and talking shop with the boys. Zack with the follow up. 😂😂😂👌

That was great that you reffed that only "The Mighty Quinn" could be the only one that could ride a KLR in Alaska was that because he was an Eskimo from Alaska?

Not only is it a sequin bow tie, it's a Mardi Gras themed sequin bow tie! That's hilarious!

Well I'll be looking forward to the next season for sure!

Hey Guys, I am a regular listener and love your content. I have been planning to comment on your Podcasts for a long time but never had a right thing to say until today when Jess raised the topic of riding with Dogs. My Shih Tzu can't have enough of riding with me on my Royal Enfield Std 350. Currently he rides on my tank, but have designed a box for him to be comfy behind me. It's a significantly delayed project and will execute it soon for sure.

For most beautiful bike, I'd say the current Ducati Panigale V4S with the wings just looks gorgeous. I have a BMW R18 classic and it looks just classicly good. Think what you want about how it rides, but I love it and it undeniably is gorgeous. For cheaper bikes, I'd say Royal Enfield makes the best looking across their whole line (I had a Continental 650 and loved it, got constant compliments). I guess I'm just a fan of classic styling

Can we get Peter to do a mock up of Ari’s 2nd choice, the triumph scrambler with the KTM 1290 engine?

Hey fellas, I'm Zack with a "K" (motorcyclelibrarian on the 'Gram). When you read the listener comment about riding modes, I immediately thought of the Triumphs I've owned. I had a Tiger 800 which I traded for a Scrambler 1200 XE (which I love, and I bought after someone on this podcast-possibly Spurg- said that you should own the bike that makes you give it a second glance before you walk away from it at your destination). I've ridden both bikes off road, and I'd say that in some cases, trying to ride off road with the bike in any of the road modes is borderline unsafe. If you try to tackle loose gravel and find that you've forgotten to switch out of rain mode, the bike will do some really weird things. Furthermore, it annoys me to no end that Triumph made those bikes default back to street mode if you happen to shut off the bike. I wish I could reprogram that "feature". My friends and I fancy ourselves an adventurous bunch, and our outings feature frequent wipeouts and stalls, especially when we're out tackling the fire and forest service roads here in the Washington Cascades. We always have this ritual of calling out "Off Road Mode!", partly to psych ourselves up, but mostly as a reminder to make sure we're not setting off with TC on when we start up again after a pause in the action.

Peter J is the hero we needed!

Liter bike to most people means a super sport. a bike with a displacement of 1 liter or over is not the same thing. I have an 1100rt and while being heavy it's not scary power. a modern liter bike has an extra what 100hp and every input need to be more precise huge difference.

You two are doing something right....because I have a full time job, own YT channel, a family and somehow watched the entire video. Pretty entertaining. Good job and keep it up. If I was located in Cali I would love to watch the CT live and get to play guess the engine.

I normally like to listen to the podcast while I'm out driving to and from work. But I had to check out the photo shopped motorcycles. Spot on and I would have to say I have to go with Zack's even though Spurg's Triumph KTM combo sounds the most pleasing on paper.

Been pretty obsessed with the MV Agusta Brutale 800RR's looks lately. It's quite epic.

I cant wait to see the daily rider on the Z650RS!!! That bike is beautiful in the picture shown in the podcast

Most beautiful motorcycle of the modern era is the MV Augusta F4, any year,, in the silver and red colorway.

love the podcast , but to the guy going to alaska I had a vstrom 650 and have currntly a fjr 1300 , fjr is ok on gravel roads , pa style but nothing more more for roads , vstrom 650 is a good choice get a throttle lock , lighter than a 1000 and will do 120 and good luggage and wind protection thats my choice👍 , and why all the hate on fjr lol , its a great bike just a hair heavy

The Suzuki TL1000 might actually be a worse beginner bike than a S1000RR. Sure it’s much slower, but they do have a reputation of being pretty gnarly.

38:00 Quinn- Go buy the bike the was severely undersold BY THE 650 that was aptly named, "The Widow Maker" Yeah

I listen to the regular podcast ,very well done and very educational. I'm 50 now and have a 2011 street glide and satisficed but still looking for something else to keep my interest. Race motocross in the 90's District #6 from North Wilmington ,Del. I feel I need something else like a adventure bike, KTM, Triumph, BMW (GS) to keep my interest in motorcycling, I understand that Honda is coming out with a new ride called the NT 1100, Parallel Twin? Any comments on this ride or a review coming, just wondering if this bike would be the fix that I need to keep me moving in the 2 wheel world!!!

the irony of a company that sells parts for motorcycles rewarding people for using a platform (itunes) owned by the ultimate in anti-repair companies is not lost on me.

Haha this was awesome!

My dream bike is my CVO Road Glide (my first bike lol) 2. Ducati Desmodesicci 3. Ducati Panigale 4. 1990 Honda CBR 600F 5. Any pre 70's Harley or Indian.

Respect for Peter J

Best looking bike imo is the ducati panigale v4

Regarding Akbar K who rode an MT-07, it might also make sense to have the stock shock revalved by a good suspension shop in addition to a new weight specific spring.

Best looking bike the past 20 years: MV Agusta F4... You guys make a super show that me and my riding buddy listen to. Love your passion for motorcycles and camaraderie on the road. All the best from Denmark 🇩🇰 PS: Of cause we need to hear about Spurgeons KTM fetishism... KTM rocks 🤘 PPS: Meka a episode on European motorcycle culture and the differences between the Europeans and Americans in that regard.

Love the orange Grinch Suit :) Great choice! As for best looking bike of all time I am going to have to be biased and as the Britten Motorcycle has to be my candidate.

I’m guessing Zack will be riding a Honda Trail Cub across Alaska.

Unfortunately, some bikes won't allow you to create your own ride mode from a combination of rider mode features. BMW is like that, at least it was in 2016, and you had to pay extra for the programmable User Mode. Luckily I had that option and after a week or so I found the combo I liked. In Dynamic mode, I hated the predictive throttle response so I set my user mode to dynamic traction control with normal throttle response.

New CTXP sounds great, but when do we get season 3 of Throttle Out, Zachhh?!?

G'day from Australia 🍺🍻 Speaking of BMW dropping Husqvarna the nuda 900 is still one of the most unique and exciting bikes to ride and look at. I currently own a vitpilen 701 from Husqvarna (KTM) and love it to bits. It's so unique and payed $10000 aud brand new. Sadly discontinued now ( ignoring it's had 3 recalls now and goes back to get fixed tomorrow) love the podcast from down Under

Greatings from São Paulo, Brasil!

I was today years old when I watched the KZread instead of the podcast, and found out that “Spurgeon Dunbar” is in fact his name and not his stage name of “Spurge and Dunbar” … who knew …..nice to meet you

How about this for an episode? If you had to design motorcycles from scratch, how would they differ from those we have today? (Engine placement, controls, etc )

HSLS listeners comments episode: "who you prefer to ride" That's a whole other podcast! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Either Zack lost a bet or has no taste in Halloween costumes. Please tell me someone asked what the hell Papa Dunbar was thinking when he named his son Spurgeon? Contact Zack and Spurge #notactualparentingadvice New riders need to remember that there is a huge difference between a 1000cc cruiser and a 1000cc sport bike. Ive always heard ride your bike. When you have different modes, especially rain mode, its suddenly not your bike anymore. In a rain storm switching to rain mode would not be something I would ever do because in that situation I would want everything with the bike to be familiar and known. Did Zack go across Alaska on a Versys 1000? Got to either be that or a Tenere 700. I think the most stunning motorcycle I've seen is the Honda Rune, it's a ridable piece of art. I am 6' tall and was about 350 when I took my MSF on a Yamaha 250, it got the job done. Ackbar might just want to get a bigger bike, and its not like your hurting for choice in the sport naked market these days. The Honda PCH would get me to give up motorcycling for that 2 year span.

For the aesthetics point, Ducati for sure, I think have built some of the most gorgeous looking motorcycles in the last 2 or 3 decades

Amazing video

0:52:10 Quinn Edgington, the myth, the man, the legend... Some say that to this day he's the only manly man, truly manly enough to handle a KLR 650.

Like what you have done with the wardrobe!

Best looking…hard not to be influenced by bikes you couldn’t afford when we were young, just like classic cars. So for me, hard not to consider a BMW r100RS. Also believe the Top Gun GPZ900r is just stunning, so is it’s younger sibling the GPZ750F with the faring lowers. In the same vein, always loved the Honda and Yamaha turbos from the 1980s. In todays world, the BMW R18 is a beautiful bike seen in person. Wouldn’t own one, but great to look at.

Best looking bike: Ducati Panigale 899 (in matte white / red wheels)

Spurg’s mock-up bike has 2 sets of mirrors….

thanks for the podcast. My pick for best looking motorcycles is the 2000 Moto Guzzi v11 Lemans

For me the 2018 MV Agusta F4 RC is THE most beautiful bike I've ever seen. Is it not a race/track bike only though? Any sport bike from MV or Aprilia after 2007. I have a 2009 Aprilia RSV1000R Factory and think it's right up there with the MV. I also think the 1986 Yamaha FZ750 is gorgeous, albeit older. That was my first bike back in 1997.

I am a Spotify listener, but I mean...... I HAD to check out this video

If Harley will ever made an inline4, I expect them to mount it rocket3-way, and have at least 3 liters displacement. Might as well call it "baby rocket" and then make a "fullsize rocket" with V8.

You missed the obvious advantage of riding around with a German Shepard on your bike, and that is of course that nobody is likely to steal your wheels while you park it and go shopping ...

Some of the best looking motorcycles of all time in my opinion: Honda CBR 900 RR SC28 (in that white/blue/red livery) Ducati 996 Yamaha YZF-R7 OW-02

Now going on to watch Itchy Boots new video, that are sponsored by RevZilla, to do her assom travel true the hole America. From Patagonia to Alaska. Now after the pandemic. She is back even harder, with a new smaller, stronger bike, with more power. And soon to hit 1 mill subs too…

Most beautiful motorcycle of all time? Not counting custom bikes, the Ducati 916, hands down.

This was a fraudulent contest. There is no way that helmet would have fit atop Spurge's gourd.

The original 1998 R1 was very pretty and the first bike I bought a new bike

Best looking motorcycle of the last 20 years: bmw r nine t, for all the time I would add HD knucklehead

1:04:55 Zack, whats the point? KTM owns husaberg, long since dead and Husky/Gasgas. They'd (BMW, presumably imo) be doing what cagiva did with Husqvarna, barely making their money back.

The 1090r is the VStrom of the KTM lineup.

I happen to know, they not only rode something rather small, a long way, but I also happen to know it'll be in another episode, that hint, stars Ari Henning exclusively. 🤫

Best looking bike of the modern age is easily the Ninja H2. It looks like a space ship. Like... aliens came from outer space to make first contact and they don't want to eradicate us, they don't want our resources, and they don't want to blow up our planet to make way for a space highway. These aliens are just like "We heard you like going fast, we also like to go fast. Check this puppy out" And they open up their little saucer and two little green men pushing each handlebar roll out the Ninja H2. Panigales are a close second.

Kawasaki hit it out the park with the new Z900RS. With full discloser I am 60 and the KZ900's were from my era.

Hey everyone! Just wondering why the Suzuki VStrom 1050xt gets such a bad name compared to it's counterparts, considering when compared to cost (some can be found for 12.5k). I'm considering one as I would mostly be doing highway commuting but want to dabble into the ADV scene when able, though, with small kids at home, this likely would be infrequent. Sounds like I agree with Spurgeon senior! Am I just fitting in with the other dad's? Should I just get my white new balance sneakers now, too? Thanks in advance and love the podcast!

I don't find that the 1050 gets that much "hate," per se. Zack's main gripe with it on his daily ride review seemed to be that it didn't seem like much of a value considering the cost. But A) value is subjective and B) I don't think too many people pay MSRP for those bikes. Suzuki tends to rebate aggressively and typically has very good financing options (Why, yes, I will borrow money for 0% APR, thank you very much). I had a 650 that I liked very much even though it's considered a bit of a bore. If you can find a 1050 at a good price and you like the bike, there's no reason not to get one.

As big a fan as I am of liquid cooled engines, they just don’t look right to me in a 70s styled retro bike. I am sure that is due to growing up in the 70s with finned engines has left that style imprinted in my mind as what a motorcycle really should look like if not faired. I think it would enhance the look to have a few fake fins on the cylinders and heads even though this adds costs for no function.
