Motorcycle Men

Hello from the V-Twin Cafe here in sunny Cranford, New Jersey. Here the temperature is always 72 on the continual sunny days unless if you are in Tim's studio where the air conditioning has it cranked up to 85.  From here in the corner booth we bring you our silliness that is Brothers on Bikes, The Motorcycle Men.Today, Tim rubs his pipe, Chris hangs a bag and I kill a battery.... Fun listening today.Wonderful fun stuff, we had a fan..... of sorts.... in the studio with us keeping us moderately sweaty as we discussed our week and what little riding we did.  We had the death of the battery in my Heritage Classic and one of Chris's saddle bags nearly fall off.... the work of Gremlins no doubt.  We briefly discuss the weather for the upcoming week and determine that our departure for Americade could be in the form of storms and drippy stuff from the sky. Regardless, we are going and have a week of amazing activities planned.  Lots of food to eat and a boatload of miles to put in.  We will be doing shor

Here it is boys and girls, Episode 7, bringing you the best in almost near high quality entertainment and infotainment your gentle ears can handle for one hour or more.  In this riveting Episode, the Motorcycle Men, minus one, took up residence in our new digs known as the "V-Twin Cafe" and got all set up in a corner booth with nice chrome Rock-O-La Jukebox at our table.This Episode was mostly a review of the Motorcycle Men group ride that took place on Sunday, May 3rd to High Point State Park in Sussex County. Rather than get into it too much, I'll let you take a listen and get all the information you could ever need on it.We talked bikes a little bit and continued our banter on seat heights.  I also went into a small but informative description of the Mad Max Highway, which is actually called the Garden State Parkway. Finally, we did cover the song of the week.The full Ride report is available now in text format for your reading pleasure, I will try and get an audio ride report up since it se

Welcome to Episode 6In this Episode, Tim relaxes, Chris talks about his vagina and I talks stats.Although we didn't have a guest this week, we still had plenty to talk about and a lot to cover. This round of senseless blabber was about the upcoming ride, the roads we'd be on and where we were going to stop for food. We also discussed some BMW's, compared Harley, Indian and Victory stats plus reviewed some website stats of our very own. We picked a new song of the week and reviewed the stats of the last song we picked.  Once again, Americade discussion came up and with just about 4 weeks to go, we are pretty excited and some of us are getting prepared and some of us not so much.Visit the website at www.motorcyclemen.us and our facebook page and our twitter page....links are on our front page. Also, check out our pages on the website and you'll see there are a lot of poll questions and the results will be posted prior to the next episode.  Lots of fun stuff!!Please send us an email and tell

Here we have it Motorcycle Peeps.... Episode 5 is here in all of its amazing and long running glory.  In this episode, Tim Spent Money, Chris got huffy and I talked about flip-flops.  Holy crap can we talk.  We rambled on about my trip to Key West and the bikes I saw there. We talked about leather jackets, motorcycle maintenance and those issues, we chatted about upgrades and also about the rides the boys did in my absence.  Those routes will be posted on the website in the days to come for you geeky types who like to know those kind of things.  We have planned our first group ride which we have all the details on..... almost. It will take place on Sunday May 3rd. Kickstands up at 10 a.m., meet at the Dunkin Donuts off of Exit 137 of the Garden State Parkway between 9 and 10. We will be heading to High Point State Park and a yet to be determined diner in that area.  The GPX file for the meet-up and the ride will be posted on the website before the ride so keep coming back for that. But keep an eye on the weat

Hello everyone and welcome to this 4th episode of the Motorcycle Men.  Today, broadcasting from the Central command center in Cranford New Jersey, the Motomen welcomed our first guest, Mr. Lex Hamilton to the microphone.  Lex is a fellow rider in the area and good friend of the Motorcycle Men.  We covered lots of ground today, much of which I do not recommend you navigate without some sort of appropriate footwear. There was  quite a bit of engaging conversation and  banter on many topics from rides, accidents, bikes, gear and ultimately down to "Truth or DILLIGAF".  Lots of funny stuff you won't want to miss.  Please note, there were some foul words spoken on today's episode so you might want to keep the little ones out of the room when you are listening. AND if you are offended by curse words I suggest you do not listen to this episode.Please visit out links page for a listing of all the sites and gear talked about on the show and don't forget to vote on the song of the week on our h

Hello Boys and Girls, Episode 3 finds us without Brother Chris as his expertise is required at work. But that is okay since it is for a good cause.... his new bike!! Chris will be bringing home his prize HD Fat Boy on Saturday and I know he would have loved to have been with us in the studio at the Motorcycle Man Central Command Center here in lovely Cranford, New Jersey.  But we will resume with his presence next week and get the full report on the arrival of his new baby.Additionally, our scheduled guest had to reschedule and was unable to join us as well so that left Tim and I at the controls to pilot this vessel that is the MotoMen Podcast and steer it away from rocky shores. With the aid of some new toys and sound bits we were still able to put forth a wonderful and entertaining P-cast for y'all.  We chatted it up about some riding stuff, some gear, the HD Livewire project, maintenance and meaning of MotoMen.So when all said and done, another great episode in the can.  Until next week kids, keep it

Our first official episode and we ran long.... way long.  So long that it has to be two parts because it's too good to not play the whole thing.  Great conversation and entertaining.  We covered lots of ground.The lovely winter weather, lousy road conditions, the bikes, some back stories, our gear, our little quirks, the food stops and the trips there, the little jaunts and the long ones, the ride song of the week, the long planned trip to Americade 2015 and a host of other cool stuff.Here's links to some of the gear we talked about.Firstgear Thermo one-piece Motorcycle Riding suithttp://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/36/i/firstgear-thermo-one-piece-suitEeze Source Waterproof Motorcycle Touring Baghttp://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-SOFTAIL-SPORTSTER-WATERPROOF-HARD-SISSY-T-BAR-BARREL-BAG-2PC-DD29-/180973141158?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2a22d6fca6Harley-Davidson Gauntlet Gloveshttp://www.harley-davidson.com/store/windshielder-gauntlet-gloves2 x 2 Cycles Motorcycle Bike Rack

Hello kids and welcome to the preliminary episodes of Motorcycle Men!  This episode and the next few that will follow will be the introductory episodes that will give us the opportunity to test the equipment, the blog, the website and basically the whole process. There is not likely to be a lot of motorcycle chit-chat during these first few test episodes but there might be some discussion, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.The website, as you can see, is in the process of being put together and it is indeed a process.  Gobs of information and clicking are happening and taking place behind the scenes.  Those of you that are doing this and have done this know exactly what I'm talking about.  Right now, there are no audio files for the podcast, there will be in short order or long order depending upon the successes and/or failures that come about.  But things are in motion that will make it all happen.  It may not evolve into the grand vision that I have but I hope it will come moderately clo
