Hi. This is a shameless Plug for Motorcyclist Radio Ep 1. Let's start with a caveat: this first episode has zero Buell content and some H-D content. If this ruffles your feathers, I apologize in advance. I'm solely posting it here because I know a few people here have said nice things about what I do and I wanted to give them opportunity to listen. Of course, you've all got the right as Americans to tell me it sucks if you're so inclined. I just ask that you be as gentle as possible in your criticism as my skin in far thinner than it oughta be given what I do. That said... This first episode was recorded at the So.Cal International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach a couple weeks ago. Best part? The time I spent with Nicky Hayden in the models' changing room after the Ducati Fashion Show (no other journos were there). Yes, it was distracting. Worst part? Some of it may feel a little rah-rah/infomercial-ish. I figured I might as well be positive about the various brands and their bikes and let their reps speak their piece since the industry is so troubled right now. I also wanted to give a 'you are there' feeling to it. These annual press conferences are what they are. Info link: http://www.entertainmentradionetwork.com/shows/mot orcyclist.html On that page you'll see the LISTEN LIVE NOW! Button. Since the show airs once a week on terrestrial radio (mabye on a station near you, maybe not, and I don'thave the current list sorry), you'll always get some other show unless you click this button when Motorcyclist Radio actually happens to be on. When is that you ask? Good question: It airs from 5-6pm Pacific every Saturday. If you're not good at math like me, that means it's 8-9pm eastern every Saturday. You guys in the middle will have to do your own arithmetic. And if you miss it at that time, have no fear, you can pull it down any time during the week (it's replaced by the new ep after that one airs), at: http://feeds.radioamerica.org/MotorcyclistRadio/SH OWS/index.shtml And if you miss THAT, then we'll have it all on iTunes podcasts for free. When that is set up, I'll send y'all the links. P.S. EB of Erik Buell Racing has already committed to an hour with me. I'm taking suggestions for questions now either by posting or pm. Your choice. I'll post about that separately when I have a date/time locked in with him -- probably to be recorded and aired before Daytona. Although maybe it would be better to wait till after? What do you think? | ||

On that question for Erik - I have a thousand things to ask him, everytime I see him. All I can seem to utter tho is "will you sign this Erik?" and "Thank you for the best birthday present ever, my 1125" Good luck with that interview Steve. I'm sure you'll get things conversational and it will just flow. Soon as it's on iTunes, I'll subscribe, can't wait. Zack | ||

You might get a broader audience / listener base by setting up a Podcast RSS feed of the show and registering with Miro & iTunes. As it is, I went to the URL and could not listen to the show. | ||

How about getting to some exact info on price listings for new conversion kits, plastics and motors. That way I can budget for the future project of transforming my R into an RS!  | ||

I have to agree about the RSS feed. I don't use iTunes, and unless I get a mailer I will NEVER remember to get the new show. I get all my other podcasts via RSS feed, so it sure would make it easy for me. I know CycleWorld Radio had an rss feed, so RadioAmerica has the ability. | ||

[qoute]All I can seem to utter tho is "will you sign this Erik?" and "Thank you for the best birthday present ever, my 1125" [/quote] I would probably do the same thing! LOL! Nevertheless, you know that Erik knows how passionate most Buell owners are about his bikes. Although I'm not as driven as he is, if I were to cut myself I would probably bleed Buell Blue. To me, it isn't just the bikes, we all know they are not perfect! To me, it's also about the man behind the creation. Everytime I ride my Buell, I know Erik is there with me enjoying every minute of it because I sure am! You can't say that with a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha. The closest thing you may feel that is in an Agusta or a Ferrari. But no other product comes closest to one man's dreams & hopes than Buell's motorcycles. | ||

Ok, so to those of you who requested an RSS feed... http://www.benchmarkradio.com/podcasting/Motorcycl ist/rss/MCR.xml :-) | ||

Latest link on the RSS feed is broken. The shows been good so far. A few too many commercial interruptions for a "podcast", but as a radio show it's doing just fine. | ||

Fixed. |
