Motorcycle Men

Hello boys and girls, 
Welcome to Episode 475 of The Motorcycle Men Podcast! Tonight, Ted, Tim, Chris, and Justin are back in the shed and ready to unleash another round of motorcycle talk, questionable insights, and the kind of laughter that only happens when four grown men pretend to run a professional show.
We’re catching up on a whole lineup of recent interviews — from the creators of the rock opera Suzy the Cycle Witch, to ADV guru Bret Tkacs, to roadside‑oddity legend Doug Kirby, to Holly Duttera of Ohio Bike Week, and even Norm Kern from the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. If it’s got wheels, weirdness, or a story, we’ve talked to it.
We’ll also dive into the National Days Calendar because apparently May is everything month: Paper Airplane Day, Blueberry Cheesecake Day, National Hamburger Month, National Barbecue Month, National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and even International Drum Month. Basically, if you can celebrate it, someone decided May was the time.
Then it’s on to the stats — 468,879 downloads and counting. North America still leads the pack, Chicago is still our biggest U.S. city, and yes… we lost our listener in the South Sandwich Islands. But we picked up folks in Iceland, Bermuda, Cuba, Zimbabwe, and even Madagascar. The global weirdness continues.
We’ll hit the BINIT, talk about Woody’s Ireland adventure, E15 fuel approvals, Harley‑Davidson products that aren’t motorcycles, and the Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge.
So grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s talk about why these old Harleys still get under our skin and stay there. This is the Motorcycle Men Podcast — and the Cafe' is officially open.

Hello boys and girls,
Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Bret Tkacs. Bret is one of the most respected names in adventure motorcycle training, known for his physics‑based teaching style, his ability to evaluate riders individually, and his mission to help ADV and dual‑sport riders ride smarter, safer, and with more confidence.
We’re going to dig into how he trains riders the way they naturally learn, why traditional training often falls short, and what makes his programs so transformative for riders at every level.

Hello boys and girls,
Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Doug Kirby — one of the minds behind Roadside America, the legendary guide to the strange, the wonderful, the historic, the gigantic, the tiny, and the downright bizarre attractions scattered across the American landscape.
Doug and the Roadside America team have spent decades documenting the unusual corners of the country — from giant fiberglass animals to mysterious monuments, from folk‑art masterpieces to the kind of oddball stops that make every road trip unforgettable. We’re going to talk about the history of Roadside America, how it all began, how they gather information, some of the most memorable attractions, and what’s coming next for the website, the app, and the future of roadside exploration.

Hello boys and girls,
Welcome to episode 472 of the Motorcycle Men Podcast. I’m here as always in the corner booth at the V‑Twin Café. Today on the show, we’re sitting down with Holly Duttera. Holly is one of the key people behind Ohio Bike Week, the massive annual rally in Sandusky, Ohio that brings riders from all over the country for concerts, rides, vendors, and a full week of motorcycle mayhem. We’re going to dig into what’s new for 2026, what attendees can expect this year, and how the rally continues to grow and evolve.
