I will try not to, okay? No, no, no. You got to stay on camera. Live stream it. Straight to YouTube. I'll sit on his chitter for the whole time. Well, there you go. You got a laptop, right? So just do that.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Motorcycle Man podcast. This is episode 366, and we're here in the Haunted Mansion today for Halloween. We're here in Tim's bathroom. Tim's bathroom. The horror show. The true horror. The true horror show. And then on Thursday, I'll get my tooth removed. Oh, wow. Hopefully not by the same time. You're not the first one to come up with that. Yeah, why am I going to give you the colonoscopy to take your tooth out? Yeah, I'm going to stick my hand all in my ass. Pull it out through your... Or the dentist is going to pull out and check out my colon. Hey, if he's in there working on your tooth, you're going to go...
That's why you're tickling my ass. Well, here we are. Yes, this is 366. Haunted house time because it is Halloween. We like to do the Halloween-y show. Yeah, it's going to be a fun time. As always, here in the corner booth, I am Ted, your host. There we go. And we're here, as always, with Timbuktu in the corner booth.
And, of course, we have Chris the Joker. Hello. And our good old friend, Justin Brown. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. So, how you guys doing? Well, we know Tim. We know how you're doing.
He's feeling a little bit lighter at the moment. Maybe. I don't know if I feel lighter. I feel like I'm going to float away. I'm so bloated. Bloated. You know, I've been thinking about... I was going to say just for shits and giggles, that's probably not the right way to put it. To take Docalax, you know, to probably just clean out a little bit. Like cleanse, you know? What do you do for a cleanse, right? I don't know. Oh, this Miralax is 54... Well, 32 ounces of drink I've got to drink. I'm going to drink it tomorrow, too. Another 32 ounces. A Gatorade mixed with this Miralax. That can't taste too bad.
It's not good. Just mix it with vodka. They have no alcohol. Can't have alcohol either? Can't have alcohol. Can you have rubbing alcohol? Yeah, right? They didn't specify what kind of alcohol, right? I don't know. I feel like anytime somebody's going in one of your various crevices, you should be allowed to have alcohol first. Yeah. I agree. Under most circumstances, that's a general rule of thumb, right? Yeah. Is it bad to say rule of thumb around Tim? Yeah.
I mean, I had mine done back in 2013. That's when I had mine done. It wasn't horrible. I mean, I was totally out for the procedure. You feel like I was drunk as shit. But now I was, I tell you what, after the procedure was over, the first thing I did was go right to the diner, man. I had myself a big freaking breakfast. That's what I did. I'm sure when Tim's procedure is done, Tim's probably going to go to the nearest KFC and eat a whole bucket. I said on the way home, I'm going to stop right at KFC and I'm getting a whole bucket for myself. I don't know what she's having. What time do you have to be in here tomorrow morning? 12 o'clock.
All right. No, I got to get up 7 o'clock in the morning to take this. Oh, so you're going to be fucking starving by the time you get there. Yeah. Yep, and then it's from 12 o'clock after the procedure, which is 1.30 tomorrow.
I can't have anything at all. No drinking, no nothing. After the procedure, too? For how long? For how long? The procedure takes 20 minutes, and then afterwards I can do whatever I want. They recommend go slowly, but... He's just going to eat the chicken slowly, but it's going to be a whole bucket worth. Because then once I get my tooth out on Thursday, I'm not going to be able to eat for a while anyway.
Damn, man. Wow. Holy crap. So what's happening? So, well, I had an interview with Nick Adams because he had his ninth book out, and he talked about writing when you get older and that kind of thing. So that was a great interview. Did he mention anything about colonoscopies? No, that was not on the agenda, but I can ask him about it if you'd like. So other stuff, because we know that Tim's getting his ass reamed tomorrow, so it's going to be a lot of fun. The Sturgis videos on my YouTube channel are just about done as one left.
And that's going to be published this week. So if you want to see all the good and in and out of the Sturgis strip, go ahead and get on over to the Ride With Ted YouTube channel and do that. Other thing is our annual Fat Ass Santa Christmas giveaway is slowly creeping up on us. And I'm going to start reaching out to all of our sponsors and a bunch of other people to see what we can get. So don't forget. So keep an eye out for that. I'm going to have probably December 1st. I'm going to open up the page on the website that you can go ahead and enter the contest. I'm going to try to get as many people in here on this time and try to get a lot of.
our sponsors to go ahead and donate something for the event. And we'll see. It'll be a lot of fun. We're going to try to do it like we did last year and have a little successful. Hopefully we get more than 95 entries. I sent you a text, by the way, about that game that I was talking about. Okay, good. I'll check it out. Up to 50 players. That'd be interesting. I'll check that out. That'd be pretty cool. Aside from that, what have you guys been up to? Anything?
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. So, Chris. Still mention shitting around, Tim. I should play golf today. You did play golf today. How'd you do? 88. Wasn't that great? 88? Okay, well, again, see, Justin, again, he's complaining about, you know, getting under 90. That's good. Yeah, here we go. That's pretty cool. Got a wee mask on. There you go. Nice. Is there music going on in the background somewhere? No, I think it's after drinking.
That much adult will actually start to hear things. You turn into your own, your body's turned into its own version of a seashell. It's like when you listen to it, you can hear the ocean. You're hearing the hollows of your body. Justin, put your ear to my ass. Well, I'll tell you what. That's what your dentist is going to do tomorrow. I do have some colonoscopy jokes for you guys. A doctor says to the patient, the colonoscopy is going to take a little longer than usual. Your wife asked me to see if he can determine how you're able to talk out of there.
May your colonoscopy technician have a firm but gentle hand. What was this other one I saw? It's been hours since my colonoscopy and no call. I knew I should have made that doctor buy me a dinner first. I was honestly thinking of writing a note on my ass for the doctor. I'd be more impressed if you could actually write a note on your own ass. Yeah, yeah, I would. The good news is you don't need a colonoscopy since your head is so far up your own ass you can see what's going on in there without my help.
There's this other one I just wanted to read out there. I thought it was pretty funny. All right, well, anyway. I'm going to be the butt of jokes today. You are the butt of jokes. Oh, yeah, your doctor called with your colonoscopy results. Good news, they found your head. Yeah, so there's a lot of good stuff in there. If you guys have any butt jokes you want to share with Tim, please, by all means, send it to Tim. Gee, thanks. He'll enjoy that. So Chris has got new tires for his bike.
and he's having a hard time finding somebody to put those tires on his bike. Did you talk to Ryan? No, we've just been playing phone tag. I called a couple times, and then he wasn't available, and then nobody ever called me, so I just started with him. No, well, that's partially my fault because I didn't realize that I have two phone numbers for you under the same contact. I must have an old number for you. So I sent him a number. Obviously, it wasn't the right one the first time.
No, no, I got one call from him, and then I called him back, and then we were just playing phone tags for a few, and then I just had him called back. My gosh. At one point, he was like, I've been trying to get in touch with this guy, and I was like, I was like, yeah, let me see, and then I sent him the other number. I have like an old, I have two numbers for you. Yeah, it's all good. I was just like, whatever. I'm just shocked that all the Harley dealers, not one of them would do my tires, because it's customer-bought. They say we don't do customer-bought tires. Who else would you have put on tires? They want you to go there and buy the tires. I understand that, but if you have tires, you want to put them on. Didn't you have them put on there last time, customer? Uh...
Well, I'll put it this way. I mentioned to him I mentioned to him that you were looking at customer supply tires and he didn't he didn't say anything like we don't do that He was a kid give me his number. So I mean, it didn't seem like there's any issue there. Yeah, I mean, I'm not asking for a rocket. Did somebody create a rocket for me?
Yeah, no, he didn't seem to have any issue. I'll call him up again tomorrow and see if I get an appointment for Saturday or something. What's this other crap that I'm hearing, that Harley dealers are now no longer working on bikes older than 2009? Well, you call Liberty, I know, on that one. It wasn't Lebanon. They were going to take my bike when I was having a problem with it, and I told them what year they had no problem with it. But Liberty in Broadway said, flat out told me, we're not working on bikes older than 2009. That's bullshit. Why would they do that? That's just bullshit. Any thoughts on that, Justin?
Dealers will do that from time to time. There's a few things with that, right? Or I should say there's a few exceptions. If you've been servicing the bike there and they know the history of it and that sort of thing, a lot of times that won't be an issue. What they don't want happening is a bike that they've never seen, never touched, that's older, comes in, you end up doing one thing, but because of the age...
Either it needs all these things or whatever the case should be and then all of a sudden it was well you were the last one to touch my bike. I get it. I get it. You know part of it ends up becoming like you know. Everything gets more complicated with age right. So you know things are rusted. Things are corroded. You start touching one thing. Something else gets damaged. There's a lot of moving parts. Or I guess not moving parts. But it ends up becoming a thing where it can end turning into a real headache to where all of a sudden you're opening up a can of worms. Well I brought it on my bike because I wanted rear brake pads.
Now I need all this other shit. And it's like, you can't let it leave knowing it needs these other things. It can end up creating a real headache. So a lot of dealers are like, it's not worth it. You know, it's like, because it ends up creating a, uh, An issue between the customer and the dealer and the other part is some of these parts are not always readily available. After certain years, you have to go aftermarket. It's one thing for an aftermarket shop to be putting on aftermarket parts, but it's another thing for a Harley dealer to be putting on aftermarket parts. So sometimes it's just easier to say, listen, there's tons of aftermarket shops out there. But again, usually a dealer, if they've serviced it, will continue to or a lot of times what they'll want to do.
is do like an inspection of the bike first. You know, because it's like, if you've got like, say you've got like a 98 something or other, and it looks like you pulled it out of a fucking lake, they pretty much don't care what you're going to want. They're going to be like, listen, we're not going to work on this thing. Not to interrupt you, but I'm going to interrupt you. Joining us all the way from, you're still in Ohio, aren't you? Yeah, still Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Drew Faulkner from the MotoADV blog. Drew is going to be joining us from Jeopardy. How you doing, Drew? What's up, guys? I haven't talked to you in eons, man. How you been?
Dude, it's been an interesting year. We've checked a lot of boxes, a lot of stuff going on at home, but still getting some good riding in, so that's good. Fresh by memory, wasn't you that did that ride every day for an entire year? Yeah, it was 365 days straight, 10 miles or more, and it actually went out to like 500 some odd days. My wife got sick, unfortunately, so if life took a hold of the wheel, that happens. There's a challenge for you boys and girls. Ride every day for a year.
Drew knows how that goes. And I'll tell you something, that's a motherfucker out in Ohio. I took the car to work a few days, but I still got out and ended up riding in the snow for 10 miles just to check the box. That must have been a challenge, huh? Well, it's weird. Now, it gets cold, and I haven't done that in a while. And the secret really is, if you want to ride every day, you have to ride every day. Because when you don't get out and ride when it's cold, you don't want to. It just feels cold because you haven't done it in so long. It's terrible. That's right. Wow. How about riding in the snow? What'd you do there?
It's hard to explain it, right? Like, you kind of just want to say you have to muddle through it and learn how to do it. Fortunately, I live in the city, so they do a pretty decent job at removing the snow. But, yeah, you definitely got to, like, take your time and be smart and, you know, ride real loose. I mean, it's like riding on gravel. And give yourself a lot of distance. Yeah. No, that's exactly it. Wow. You don't want to run in the wet snow. That's exactly it. Well, Drew, we're having you here to take part in our Jeopardy game. But before we get into the Jeopardy game, we have to do Bennett. So if you guys don't mind, we'll do Bennett.
And, Tim, you can go ahead. So, Drew, as I told you, Tim is going to have a little procedure tomorrow. So, if you have any ass jokes, please let them fly now. Wait. You said his butt mitzvahs tomorrow. I like it. All right. He came prepared. I like it. So, let's do Bennett. I'm tired of shit. We'll do Bennett's.

You don't always choose the category, but you always answer first. So, you ready? I think so. Okay, here we go. Drew, pick the category you want to go with. How much? This is Justin's favorite topic, right? Yeah, how'd you know? So we're going to go how much for 100. Here we go.
How much for this 1947 knucklehead with sidecar? $47,500, $67,500, $87,500, or $125,000? Drew, what do you think? Let's see here. I wish the picture was a little bit better because I can't tell what level of restoration we're looking at here. I'm going to shoot in the dark with B, $67,500. Tim, what do you think? $87,500. All right. Chris? I'm going to go with B, $67,500. Copy in, Drew. What do you think, Justin?
Justin, did I lose you? No, I'm here. I mean, well, yeah, you lost me, but I'm here. 87.5. You're going to go with C. All right, two Bs and two Cs. Correct answer is 125. Wow. Nobody got it. Honestly, I was torn between that and C. Lies. I'd like to do follow-ups with these and find out if these people actually got that money. I have no idea. This is sold at a dealership, so we'll see. All right, Drew, go ahead and pick another one.
I'm going to do how much? 200. Ooh. How much for this 48 Indian Chief? 42, 995, 53, 995, 67, 995, or 98, 995? Drew, how much is this bike? I'm going to go C, 67, 995. All right. Damn. I agree.

For $180 a night, you can stay in this haunted castle built in 1856. Where is it located? In UK, Scotland, New York, or Portugal? What do you think, Drew? I'm going to say C, New York. He was very confident with that answer, wasn't he? Tim, what do you think? I have to agree. All right.
Chris, what do you think? Yeah, I'm going to see you as well. Wow. Justin, are you going to follow along the rest of the troop? No. I don't know, man. I feel like these guys know something that I don't know. What are, like, the three of you guys fucking own this thing or something? You fuckers own the castle in New York? I wish. I'd be there right now. No, I'm going to the UK.
And the correct answer is, it's in Ballotinium, UK. Wow. I'm sure I'm going to be in fucking New York. That's a new castle for Europe, isn't it? Yeah, kind of, yeah. Europe's got a lot of old. The Ed says modern, I believe. Justin, get Pickett.
Roadside. All right. Where might you find the world's largest pistachio? Arizona? Colorado? New Mexico? See, thanks. What do you think, Drew? Where's that big pistachio? Don't say up Tim's ass. I was about to say, I'm going to pull this out of my ass. I'm going to call this C New Mexico. Tim, where is it? Pistachio. Pistachio. I'm going to go Arizona. I tell you, from now on, no matter what topic, no matter what question, we have to start every answer with up Tim's ass.
Chris, where is it? Oh, B, Colorado. All right, we got A, B, and C. Oh, you know what that means, Justin. We have A, B, and C. I hate when this happens when I had something I was going to go with. I was going to go for Colorado because I feel like Colorado, Colorado's got some weird shit going on. I feel like that's a good spot for a big nut. All right. You know how I feel about this because I do like the plan that somebody's going to win game. Yeah, I know.
Well. I guess I'll be nuts for Georgia. All right. Here we go. Somebody's going to win. Correct answer is New Mexico, and it goes to Drew. I feel better when it's in either one of my choices. Drew is on the board. Here we go. Mr. Ginn, huh? Drew, go ahead. Pick it. Let's do motorcycle books. Okay. Here we go. The book outlines the journey of two friends through South America. Long way up, two-wheel south, two-up and overloaded, or motorcycle therapy. What do you think, Drew? Two-wheel south, B. Dan, what do you think? Two-up and overloaded.
Chris. Hey, long way up. Justin, we got an ABC again. Nope. You're not fooling me on this one. I know what you're doing. You and your cemetery gates and your little owl there. It's A. It's not. Okay, and the correct answer is two wheels south. Oh, damn it. It goes to Drew. Come on, Drew.
All right, Drew, pick it again. Can't let him win. That's why I'm trying to throw us there with the Ewan. Ewan McGregor. It's not over yet. Yeah. All right. Let's go Motorcycle Books 200. Motorcycle Books 200. All right. In this book, the author sets a Guinness World Record actually riding everywhere in the world. The longest ride, one-man caravan, riding towards me, or different natures. Drew, who is it? I have no idea. I'm going to go one-man caravan. B. Tim. Different natures.
I'm sorry, you have to answer your question with up Tim's ass. I was about to say, can we get some side bets in here on what Justin is going to pick before it gets to him? Chris, where is it? B, one-man caravan. All right, Justin, what's it going to be? I'll leave it alone. I don't know if I will. No, don't leave it alone. Interestingly enough, all of these can describe Tim's day tomorrow.
This is very true. Wow. So what's your answer going to be? Well, after having said that, I regret to have to give any of these answers, but I'm going to go with one-man caravan. Three Bs and a D. And the correct answer is...
The longest ride. Nobody got it. He's so obvious. I thought that was a tentative for sure. Yeah, it kind of like answered your own question. Riding everywhere in the world. Well, the longest ride probably. All right. Well, Drew, you won it last time, so we can pick it again. Let's do who for 100. All right. Who produced the charisma? Hero, Suzuki, Ariel, or LaFan? Drew, who produced the charisma? Lord, I feel bad for the people screaming at their iPhones right now. I'm going to go with LaFan, Dee. Tim.
I like how they decided to try to be clever and spell charisma. All right, Justin, we got A, C, and D. It can't be, Suzuki. Did he just throw a Tedism at us just now, Justin? It can't be. So it probably is. That's the voice of resignation right there. I don't know, man. I'm going D. All right.
All right, correct answer is hero and Chris got that one nice Christian. Yeah, so Did you know that you know what I did was I looked at the The main hero and then I'm like I could see whoever came up with that and then I'm thinking charisma because it's a hero and blah blah blah and I'm like, okay It's such an unknown brand here in the US. I know it is. Yeah Ooh, for $200. All right. Double or nothing option. Oh, boy. Who produced a Backstreet 150? David, Zanella, Kim Sprigmoda, or Kim Sprigmoda? Okay. Drew, double or nothing option. It means double. If you get it right, you double your points. If you get it wrong, you get pushed back to zero. Justin, I like how Ted just backs us into that. Why are you saying back it in? Why are you saying back it in? So, Drew, do you want the double or nothing option? You can say yes or no. It doesn't matter.
i'm i'm gonna if it's an option yeah i'm not taking the double enough and i'm gonna go i'm gonna go d kimco all right tim you got no points so you got nothing to lose actually i'm doubling it you're gonna double it double my zero double nothing now wait a minute if you get it wrong should you go negative i don't know yeah zero minus zero that's right that's true okay so what's your answer um so if you get them the kimco is the only thing i know go kimco all right so if you get it right you'll just get the points so you won't get double points whatever chris what do you think i'm gonna go with c bomota you want the double or nothing option no And Justin, you want the double or nothing? No, I agree that the Pomoda Backstreet sounds the best out of all of them. All right, the Pomoda Backstreet. No, no, no, that's not what I'm going with. I was just stating that. Oh, okay, you're not going to go with that. No, no, no. I agree that Kimco is the only one that I actually do recognize, and I do know that they make scooters, which is in line with the fact that it's at 150. Although, I've never heard of the Backstreet. That doesn't mean I don't know much about a scooter, though. Backstreet Boys? At least it's not called the Backdoor, right? But there's, I don't know. A just sounds like a fun word.
I don't know. I just got to go with it. I don't know why, but it's been drawing me to it. So you're going with A? I'm going with A. All right. And the correct answer is...
Zenella. Nobody got it. Skunked. Skunked again. That bike wants to be a lot of different things. It does. It does. Yeah. Wow. It doesn't know what it wants to be. Who won the last one? Chris, pick it again, Chris. Roadside America 200. All right. Daily Double, where might you find the Castle of Death? Maine, Delaware, Alabama, or New Hampshire? Drew, where is the Castle of Death? I'm going to say C, Alabama. Tim. Not remotely confident. New Hampshire. Chris? I'm going to go with New Hampshire as well.
Lots of confidence there. Yeah, lots of confidence. Justin, where do you think the Castle of Death is? Well, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that New Hampshire's license plate says live free or die. So it would be fitting that if you're not going to be living free, then there's the Castle of Death. Man, I don't know how you arrived at that, but damn. Wow, wow. You went a long way for that answer. Hell yeah. Damn. So you're going to go with New Hampshire? My answer is just what they need to be. So that's your answer, D.
Justin? Yeah. Now you're questioning yourself, right? Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. All right. Three Ds of the C. And the correct answer is Alabama. Oh, wow. I thought we were getting skunked for sure again. See, look at that. Drew pulls it in, so he gets 400 points. All right. Drew's running away with it. Drew, pick it again. Let's go Airbnb 200. All right. For $1,790 a night, you can stay in this haunted castle. Where is it? Wales, Ireland, New York, Spain. Drew, where is it?
I'm going to say Wales. A. Tim, where is it? Hmm. 1700. I don't know. Is that ocean in the background, Tim? It looks like it could be a river. That is the Hudson River. Okay, I'm going with New York just because that's a weirdo. Because I'm a weirdo. You pick your answer. If that's a Hudson, is there shit floating? Never mind. Chris, pick it. I'm going with New York as well. All right.
Justin. I feel like the last one was like, what was the last one? It was like $188 a night. Yeah. $1800 is a little bit more New Yorkish. Yeah, it is. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know, though. Haunted. I feel like if there was a haunted castle in New York, we'd know about it. I feel like we'd know about it. Not to say that we know about every haunted castle there is, but. There are haunted castles in New York. Yeah, I'm just saying. I feel like, especially around this time of year, that maybe that would have come up.
Spain's like a weird one in there, so it's probably fucking Spain because we all know. But I refuse to believe that Spain is that green. So I'm going to go Ireland. Okay. Because that's what he wants us to think. I'm going to get a run. The correct answer is Bolton, New York. I got one right. All right. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut right now. Chris and Tim both got there. Hopefully it's not the big pistachio that comes out of your head. Tim, pick it. I don't know. Let's go Airbnb.
For $1,515 a night, you can stay in this haunted castle. Where is it located? UK, Ireland, Scotland, New Hampshire. Drew, where is this? I'm over here looking at this. Why does that look like the Biltmore Estate? It's surprisingly similar. I'm going to call that the UK. Tim, where do you think it is? I'm going to go with Ireland. Chris, where do you think it is? Yeah, I'm going with Ireland as well. Hey, Justin, where do you think it is?
You don't suspect any fuckery going on here, do you? Oh, with you? Never. I'm going to go Scottish. You're going to go Scotland, right? And the correct answer is Ireland. Look at that. Tim and Chris again. Wow. All right, Chris. Chris, pick it. Motorcycle books for $300.
The author of this book got his money for his trip from on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Was it Charlie Borman and By Any Means? Was it Sam Manicom and Into Africa? Graham Field in Search of Green Regress or Glenn Hegstad for One More Day Everywhere? Drew, who got their money for your trip and who wants to be a millionaire? Wow. It bugs me because several of these people, we obviously know who they are. It's so terrible that I don't remember how they got on to those different things. It sounds dumb, but because I recognize the first three people, I'm going with D, Glenn Hegstad. But I admit I never watched that show. I have no idea. All right. Tim.
Um, yeah, I'm going to say the same thing, B. Chris, I'm going to go with C, Granfield. Justin. I'm also going with Granfield. It just sounds like a game show name.
You should catch him on a podcast. He's got some interesting stories. Oh, yeah. Did he ever mention anything about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? I wish I could tell you. All right. The correct answer is in search of green grass. Nice. Oh, I got it. Holy shit. Chris and Justin got that. Yes, as a matter of fact, he was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and he actually won $5,000. No, I know that. He's a character. It's really interesting. I've had him on the show. In fact, I chat with him on WhatsApp once in a while. Yeah. He's a hoot. He's a lot of fun.
He's a thrifty dude, and that's what I like about it. He'll always tell you a way to save a few bucks. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Justin, pick it. Roadside. That doesn't sound too good. Where might you find the train wreck obelisk? Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, or Illinois? True. Is this an East Palestine joke? I mean, that's Ohio people who don't think that's funny. No. He lost me at where. I don't understand any of those words, including the word Mike. Train wreck obelisk.
A giant phallic symbol for a train wreck. Okay. I'm going to guess, God, I'm going to guess Pennsylvania, even though I think Ohio is nuts enough to have one. All right. Tim, where do you think this is? Ohio. Chris. I'm going to go with B, Pennsylvania. All right, Justin, we've got two Bs and an A. Are you going to go follow suit and go with the A? Or are you going to go with Illinois or Nebraska? Where do the railroads run? I wonder. That's right. Pennsylvania Railroad.
There's also the B and O. I feel like A and B are like the gimme answers. I feel like those are like, you know, it's like when you have something weird and Florida's on there. You know what I mean? A, B, and D are all on Monopoly, right? You know, so I'm going to go with Nebraska. You've been an outlier for me. The correct answer is...
Ohio. Oh, wow. Now, I can either read it now or later, but there's a story behind this obelisk. And I read it, and I was like, holy crap. So first of all, so Drew and Chris both got the points there. I said Ohio. I said Pennsylvania, actually. He said Ohio is crazy enough. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're right. You're right. You want to give me the points? Go ahead.
Let me read this story to you guys. I gotta know where this is. I've never heard of this Now, here's the story. The Ashtabula Horror, so traumatic the city that three memorials commemorated it, a plaque near the crash scene, an obelisk in the cemetery, and an audio memorial outside. It happened on December 29, 1876, when the Ashtabula Creek Bridge collapsed into a 70-foot deep gorge. Now, it collapsed in a blizzard with a train on top of it.
92 of its 159 passengers and crew were killed. As if the crash weren't bad enough, the passengers' car's stoves caught fire, incinerating many of the survivors. Then robbers invaded the flaming wreck and murdered several more. Talk about overkill. The disaster was also so bad that reportedly killed the railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt from shock. The bridge designer later committed suicide, and the railroad's chief engineer was murdered, and it was made to look like a suicide. Wow. There's an obelisk in Ohio that commemorates all of this.
20 years after the disaster, a tall obelisk was entered in Chestnut Grove Cemetery. Beneath it were buried 19 bodies from the wreck that were never identified. Wow. I just can't believe that's tied to Vanderbilt. That's the part that I might say the most strange to me. Yeah, I mean. The rest of that is normal Ohio stuff. I'm totally by that. I'm very bad to be on a train. That's for damn sure. Most people are having a bad fucking day. That's what that was. Not like Tim's day tomorrow. So, Tim, why don't you pick the next one?
How much? How much? Justin's favorite. How much for this 51 Harley-Davidson Hydroglide? 27,995, 32,95, 51,5, or 48,3? Drew, how much for this Hydroglide? Man, I got no idea what a pan goes for these days. I'm going to say C, 51,500. 51 for a 51. Tim? B, 48. Chris? I'm going to go C, 51. All right, Justin. Justin? B, 33. B, go with B, okay.
All right, and the correct answer is B. He's killing it, man. That's why I took so long. Justin, pick it. Who? All right. In 1939, who produced the Militar 500? Ducati, Lambretta, Guillermo, or Benelli? Drew. Man, I want to pick Ducati so bad that I don't know if that's who that is. I do feel like that's Italian, and there's no good reason to say that's true. I'm going to go with D. Benelli on this. Tim.
I'm going to go with Lembretta. Bye. Bye. Chris. I'm going to go with Ducati. Just to pacify Drew's six. I'm going to screw up there, Justin. Thanks for looking out for me. The only one there's left to see. Galera it is. You're going to go with it? Somebody wins. Somebody wins. And the correct answer is Galera. Actually, you know what, dude? That thing's pretty sweet looking. That's pretty cool, isn't it?
That's pretty neat. So Justin gets that. So that's where the DR6, or what's the name of that cruiser based on the DR650? The Savage 50 or whatever it is from Suzuki? I have no idea. That's what that single looks like. Justin, pick it. Let's go for another Haunted Castle. All right. There we go. For $61 a night, you can stay in this Haunted Castle. Where is it? Plus $100, by the way, if you get it right. Germany, Austria, Italy, or Spain. So, Drew, where is it? For $61 a night. Holy crap. I'm going to call that D-Spain.
I can't imagine that cheap in the other three. I'm going to say Australia. Austria. Austria. Boy. Chris. I'm going to go A, Germany. A, B, D. Just like the last game, Justin. I don't like any of this. Let's get into the higher point questions, which is when you get even more cynical. There's plus 100, so there's even more room for this to be incredibly fucked up. 61 bucks a night. That's what it says, bro. Yeah, that's cheap. I mean, unless they're staying in the outhouse and you just haven't told us. That is haunted, right?
People pay for that shit, though. Yeah, we've got hourly rates like that in Dayton for hundreds. Yeah. You're looking for road signs and shit, don't you? Well, I'm not. I'm trying to see if I can see the nationality of the ghost in the window. I don't know, man. Germany. He just left C untouched. I don't know how he did that. Yeah, I know. The correct answer is Cordoba, Spain. Give it to Drew. He gets that plus another 100 points. Nice. Boink. All right.
All right, Drew, pick it again. It's a very close game. Let's close out these haunted castles. There you go. All right. How much will it cost you to stay in this haunted French castle built in the 13th century? $2,227 a night, $359 a night, $12,555 per night, or $20,117 per night. Drew, how much is it going to cost you to stay in this haunted French castle that was built in the 13th century?
Considering today's real estate market, I'm over here like, how many square feet is it? Is it the whole castle? Are they friendly ghosts? Is it per person or per group? Like, are you getting the entire castle? Or are you getting one room? More than likely, I didn't look at the advertisement, but more than likely, all of these are a room that you're renting in the castle. I feel better knowing that. Yeah, they're not going to let you have the controller over the whole castle.
Well, they better for fucking 20 grand. If I'm spending 20 grand a night, I better be able to play around in the boat and fucking up or lower the bridge thing and... No, no, no, no. You're looking at this all the wrong way. We could be hosting Tim's Butt Mitzvah in the haunted castle. It's a shitty idea, but it's a shitty idea. I'm really liking this whole... I am really liking this whole Butt Mitzvah thing. I like that, you know. Yeah. Let's see here. I'm going to go see. 12-5. All right. Tim.
I'm going to be A. Chris. I'm going to say B. Justin. So the first one was the U.K. for $188 a night. Then you had Spain, which was what, like $61 a night? Yeah. And then you got the French. We always think that they're a little bit snootier than the U.K. But I would think that just by default. And don't forget the New York people. We can't even.
We can't even go there. That's still cheaper than three items on this list. It's a $500 question. I am also going B. All right.
And the correct answer is $20,117 per night. Wow. Come on. Justin, we set you up, man. We left that answer hanging just for you. Nobody got that. Dude, nobody should get it. Nobody should get it. You had it. Dude, that was all you. It was all you. All you ought to do is say, let me complete. Somebody's going to win and go D. Boom. It would have been all you. But no. You thought too much, right, man? He insulted an entire country about being snooty and still didn't pick the highest price. Send all your emails to Ted.
All of our French listeners are getting all pissed off now. We don't have French listeners. Oh, we do. Well, we used to. All right. They're too busy. Listen, you don't get good podcast service at $20,000. I'm not too worried about it. All right, Drew, pick it. Let's do another who. All right, here we go. Who produced the Scorpion Tour 660? BMW, Saks Motorcycles, KTM, MZ Motorrad.
I'm not sure if I should play games with Justin now or not. You might as well, because fucking Ted does every fucking... I don't think... I have no poker face at all. Let's see. I thought Stacks only made suspension. Did they actually make motorcycles at some point? I have no idea. How would I know? I'm going to go D. MZ Motorod. Tim! Hold on a second. I don't know. Let's go. KTM. KTM? Kick till Monday. Yep.
Chris, who produced the Scorpion Tour 660? I'm going to go with the KTM as well. Justin. Man, I don't have a clue. Are you sure you don't want to think about it a little bit? Talk yourself through it. We got two seasons a day. There's too many, like, you know how long it would take to tell somebody you had an MZ Motorrad Scorpion Tour 660? I mean, you can be wherever you're fucking going by the time you tell them. I mean, it's, like, ridiculous.
BMW would fucking never. I've never, I've never, I am not familiar with Saks Motorcycles. I'm sure there's somebody out there that hates me for saying that. And probably, probably French. And then they're probably Italian. So, I don't know. There's a K in KTM, so I'm going with C. Okay. The correct answer is NC Motorhead. Wow. Drew got it. Holy crap. That's actually one I knew. Oh, did you really? Yeah.
mz is interesting i don't know if you get crazy into the dual sport world i don't remember this backstory i believe mz somehow got a deal with yamaha to make the 660. it's the same engine i think that was in the tenere 660 and they got um they had wp suspension from the ktm they made a dual sport they made like three different bikes all based on that same engine and this is one of them oh there you go they had a buddy that had one and got nerded out with it okay well anyway pick the next one drew uh let's finish who okay Who produced the Black Magic? Solex, Foxxan, KTM, or Moto Guzzi? This keeps going. It's going to be Black Magic all over the screen. All right, Drew, who produced the Black Magic? Solex, Foxxan, KTM, or Moto Guzzi? I'm foolishly going to assume it's not the last two because I recognize them, so I'm going to go with B, Voxxan, or whatever that is. Tim? I'm going to go with D, Moto Guzzi. All right. Chris? Moto Guzzi. Justin? A.
Solo clicks. Don't say it like that. What? Don't say it like that. Why would you pick A? I don't know. The correct answer is... Foxing! Oh, man. Wow. That's a sweet bike. I suck in it. B. Look at that, man. Drew picks up another one. That is not interesting because that does look like that. Did you know that, Drew? No. That was a totally wild-ass guess. That's like a... It's got a lot of cafe elements to it. It looks like that. It does look like that. Goosey. Now I can't even think of it. Anyway. There you go. All right. Drew, pick it again.
Steve Motorcycle Books. Getting down to the nitty-gritty here. Plus 200, this book chronicles the adventures of a rider around the world. Going the Wrong Way, The Rugged Road, Riding Towards Me, or One Man Caravan? Who did it? Drew? Also, The Chronicles of Tim's Tomorrow. Can I ask you one question? The Rugged Road, right? Going the Wrong Way. One question. Drew, who is it? Tim's got a question. What's that? What's that?
It's taking all of Tim's effort to hold it right now I'm making diamonds back I'm gonna stick with my previous guess on a different one one man caravan. Let's see Tim I'm done with one man caravan again all right Justin I am I am going to agree I had the same logic I picked one man caravan once before okay so I gotta I gotta try my hand at it again and why not do it for 700 points or 600 points here we go the correct answer is
D, one man caravan. Three of you's got it. Three of you's are getting 600 points. Broke clocks right twice a day. Four, all right, and Justin gets six. Andrew, six, six, boop. Look at that, damn it. A thousand points and four from Justin. Wow. Nobody can catch him. You'd be surprised. There's points on the board. All right, so Chris, what'd you pick it? How much, 400?
Here we go. Plus 200. How much for this 1950? Aerial square four. 56.9, 66.9, 23.9, or 32.995. Drew. If this was modern bikes on Marketplace, I'd be crushing it. But I am useless in this category so far. I'm going to go with the most expensive one. B. 67K. All right. Tim. A. Chris. I'm going to go with B. All right. Justin. What the fuck is that singing?
That's the sound of Justin's phone searching for the price. This thing comes with its own Italian music. It's me, Ariel. I don't know a thing about these things. No, I really don't. Give it a shot. Let's go. Did anybody pick D? No, he got two Bs and an A. All right, well, fuck it. Let's give D a whirl. Let's not leave him alone. All right. For an inch of 200 points, the correct answer is C. Nobody got it. I'm shocked by that. I thought Ariel was pretty old and, quote, classic. Guess not. Even remember, 24 grand is a lot of money. It throws you off because he puts these other answers like 50 grand and shit. Because I was thinking originally I was leading that way, too, and then I'm like, ah, it's not just going to be the lowest.
He's made me start second-guessing myself. Next time you do this, Tim, you got to get on Marketplace and see what people are asking for Harleys right now. It's going to be hilarious. Yeah, it is hilarious. Because when I look at it... What, it's a lot of money? Oh, it's... It's actually two extremes. They're either asking a pittance for it, but it's a piece of shit, or it's a nice bike, and they're asking significantly more than it's worth. It's crazy. If you looked up the Harley Pan America right now, you can find them as cheap as $13,000 all the way up to retail. It's crazy. It is stupid, I know.
You know. All right, so. They do have cards, too. Cars, looking for cards. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's sweet, though. They have a Pan American for $13,000. That's not a big deal. We're going to let Tim pick it, because he's marked on my Facebook. Yeah. Tim, go ahead and pick it. Oh, I'm picking it. Yeah, you're going to pick. How much? All right, for $500, how much for this 69 Yamaha YG5T80? $5,006, $4,000, $12,000, or $650? Drew, how much for this Yamaha, the 69 Yamaha? Does it run?
I'm not answering that question. It's a 69. It's a Yamaha. It's a 69 Yamaha. That's a fair question based on the photograph the listeners can not currently see. Looks like his fork is bent. Oh, man. I'm going D. 650 bucks. Hashtag no title. Hashtag Randwin Park 10 years ago. Hashtag not stolen. Hashtag trailer park transportation. I'm going to go with B. B? B.
D as a dog. That's good. Okay. Chris. I'm going with the same one. I'm going with D. This isn't all we would spend on it. Well, yeah, I might have answered this question wrong because it's like how much I would spend on it. You also got to remember this is a 500-point question.
What does that mean? That means he did something stupid. Yeah, true. That means it's $12,395 for some god-awful reason. I'm over here scratching my head looking at that thing like, is that a 69 two-stroke? They made one of them. It's worth a shitload of money. Barbra Streisand had her second kid on it. There's something weird, and all of a sudden it's worth fucking $12,400. And that's why it's 500 points. You know what? Fuck it. $12,400.
Justin took his best impression of, ah, fuck it. Send it. Yeah. The correct answer is $6.50. I knew it. I knew it. I finally got one. All right, Drew and Chris. What about Tim? What about me? Tim, I'm sorry. Oh, boy. Holy crap. Being a cheap ass and criticizing motorcycles online paid off just now. All right. So, Tim, why don't you pick it again?
Let's get rid of motorcycle books. All right. This author penned this book about his adventures across Canada. This is Charlie Borman, Extreme Frontiers, Nick Adams, do it while you still can. Neil Peart, Ghost Rider, or Charles Scherick, Ghosts in the Wind. Drew, who wrote this book? Wow. I'm totally clueless. I'm going to go with D, Charles, with Ghosts in the Wind, for no reason other than that sounded good. Okay. Tim. Nick Adams. Uh-oh. Where'd I go? Confidence, man. Isn't that confidence? Chris. Neil Peart.
He just said that because he liked Rush. Yes, exactly. All right, Justin, we got BCD. I don't like that. Are you saying that Charlie trying to sell you a quad lock means he didn't write a book about riding across Canada? The thing I don't like is I feel like Extreme Frontiers is too, like, it makes it seem like I know what he's doing. A little fucker over there. British Columbia is somewhat extreme, right? No, I know. That's what I'm saying. That seems like it would be the obvious answer, which means it's probably like do what you still can.
But fine, I'll give it. I'll give it the A. All right, somebody wins. If it's B, I'm going to be upset. That's all I'm saying. All right, so you're picking A. I'm picking A. We talked him into it, Ted. All right. Great answer is A. Oh, man, solid. I accept. He tripped and fell on the right answer. Yeah, exactly. We had to talk him into winning. I don't want to win. You guys couldn't have done that earlier in the game, huh? Yeah, right.
All right. I don't know. What are we picking, Ted? Here we go. Where might you find the haunted chicken house in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, or California? Drew, where is it? I totally want to pick Alabama again, but since I already picked it, I cannot. I was thinking exactly the same thing. What are you doing twice in a row? I don't know. I would settle for anything Appalachia under this, and that's half of Ohio for the record. I'm going to go with B, Oklahoma. All right. Tim.
I was going to say that, but only to keep it interesting, I'm going to go Texas. Winning. Winning. Chris. Hungerblood. A, Texas. Go to Texas. Justin. It's got to be Alabama, right? Right, right. Yeah, definitely. Roll a chicken house in Alabama? What? We can get skunked when it's California. Oh, no. Can we stop talking about chicken right now? Because I'm hungry. Okay. I'm starving right now. Tim, are you getting the hamster cam tomorrow? Yeah, I think so. Tim decided to go cheap, so they're going to use a gerbil with a GoPro in his head.
All right. Justin, what do you think, man? Oh, no, Alabama. That's absolutely my answer. That's definitely your answer. Oh, yeah, 100%. All right. And the correct answer is Healthwood, Alabama. Oh, nailed it. Yeah, no, there's no other place for that. The Haunted Chicken House, that's got fucking, that might as well be their motto. Yep, I fell for the Tedism. Yep. All right, for the last question, this is the only one where I'll allow you to change your answer if you want.
Here we go. Where might you find the big digestive system? Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, or Nevada? You saved that one for last. How perfect is that? What a shitty question. Drew, what do you think? Where do you think it is? I got it, man. I got to pay Florida, man. Tim, where is it? Virginia. I didn't think digestion's what took place there, but hey, whatever. Chris, what do you think?
North Carolina B. All right. Justin? Yeah, I feel like it's kind of a trick question because him is in North Carolina. Is that right? So is that the deal? What's in North Carolina? Him. Him? Him. Tim and me are both in North Carolina. Yeah. He's the big digestive system. What makes you think I would have picked the question with an answer that has North Carolina in it? How can anybody think anything you're thinking? This is true. Or he can pick D and somebody wins.
Yeah, we got A, B, C. Oh, yeah? Yeah. All right. You've convinced me to win. I was going to say, did I just get you? Yeah, fuck it. I'll go Nevada. Okay. Anybody want to change their answer? No. Huh? No? You're all sure? I'm going to let it ride. Are you going to let it ride, Chris? Yeah, I'm fine. How about you, Justin? Are you going to let it ride? Yeah, sure. All right. And the correct answer is for the remaining 500 points of the game.
North Carolina. Oh, shit. It worked. Oh, shit. How on earth was this the last question? It's so funny that it worked out that way, but that's pretty awesome. Oh, wait a minute. Do you guys want to do a Final Jeopardy? Sure. We can do a Final Jeopardy. In other words, we wage as much as we want. As much as you want. Okay, we're going to do a Final Jeopardy. Okay, let's do this. Here we go. Back out of this. And we'll go Final Jeopardy.
All right. If you guys are ready, the final Jeopardy. First, let's start a wager. Let's do the wager. All right. So, Drew, let me put the points in each. Drew's got 3,100 points. So let me put that in here. 3,100 points. Justin's got 2,500 points. Chris has got 2,400 points. And Tim has 1,600 points. So, Drew, how much do you want to wager? I'm going to go 500. You're going to go 500. Knowing nothing. Completely blind. All right.
All right, Tim, how much do you want to wager? I'm going to rager 1,500 because I need to pass through. 1,500, okay. And, Chris, how much do you want to wager? All of it, 2,400. Oh, look at that. And, Justin, how much do you want to wager? Well, Tim, you've got to wager more than 1,500 if you want to pass them. You can tie them.
You're assuming he's losing. He's losing. Can I have confidence here? You do you. I'll do me. That's happening tomorrow, Tim. They're doing me.
I would like, what did Chris wager? Chris wagered for $2,400. $2,400. Did you, you cocksucker? All right, fuck it. Let me do, all right, I'm going to do $2,400 also. You're going to do $2,400? Wow, look at that. Okay, so, and Justin, okay, let me write this down. I'm writing this all down, so Justin's wagering $2,400 of his $2,500. And Tim is wagering, how much are you? $1,500. Oh, wait, hold on, hold on. I want to do $2,300. And Drew is wagering, he's wagering $500.
Of his 3,100. Okay. And Chris, you are wagering all of it. Yes. 2,400 of your 2,400. Okay. And Justin, you've changed yours to what? 2,300? Yeah. So you can have 100 more than me. All right. And here's the question.
How much for this 49 Harley-Davidson Springer with a sidecar? $5,600, $93,000, $75,000, or $101,000? Do you have a picture of it? It's right there. I don't see it. No, sir. Hold on a second. Get your Craigslist ad up here. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. There it is. He goes. It's right there. There we go. The bank has the title, but I swear I have it. How much for this 49 Springer Harley-Davidson with a sidecar? $56,000, $93,000, $75,000, or $101,000? Drew, what's your answer? I'm over here trying to figure out which engine is in that because I can't see that.
Milwaukee. No, definitely not. He put it on. No. All right. I'm going to go A, 56,000. Okay. Tim. 93. You're going to go 93,000? Yep. B. Chris. I'm going C, 75,000. C. And Justin.
I mean, I feel like I got to go. You got to. You got to go. One of us is going to win. Okay. What's your answer? I got to do it. Do you have to? I 100% have to. Not only do I 100% have to, I have to 101% have to. Okay.
All right. This is going to require some math on my part, but the correct answer is $75,000. I doubled it. $4,800. And Drew, Tim, goes down to $100. I doubled it. Tim goes down to $100. Drew drops down to, where are you here? You dropped down to $2,600. I'm now no longer Drew. I'm the guest formerly known as. My name is now $2,600.
All right. And Chris, he wins that $400. Did I come back from behind and beat everybody? I really, really wanted to guess the second most expensive, but I'm like, man, that's a lot of money for that. Justin had the chance, but he decided to go. He just happened to beat me. That's all he cared about. Yeah. I caught you loose to the guy with the ass problems. Chris quishes all of his chips in and just nothing. I just fly by the seat of my pants, man. Scare money doesn't make money. That's what they say. That is too funny, man. I swear to God.
Wow. Good job, guys. That was a lot of fun. That was a lot of fun. I'm glad you guys enjoyed that. So, I mean, I got nothing else. Do you guys have anything else? Nope. I'm good. Drew, so what's coming up for you?
Oh, man. Don't ask me that for you. There's still some... You're still coming out. I'm hoping to do some adventure riding before the fall is over. The leaves have changed here still. They're not all down. How's the temperature there, though? Today, actually, I saw flurries for the first time today, which is normal. October, you know, Halloween, normally that's the case, so it's not too bad. 49 degrees right here right now. They're talking mid-high 50s this weekend, so I was thinking about that. And I've totally tricked out my Triumph this year, so I got some miles to put on it. Yeah, Drew, last time we talked, Drew, you had a Bonneville that you turned into a Scrambler, and you were...
taking it down to Kentucky to ride in Daniel Boone National Forest. Is that what it was? Well, not only that, but this year is the second year that I've actually raced the Triumph in Kentucky Cross Country Racing Series. Oh, really? Yeah, this year I relaced the wheels. So I have 2118 riding dirt bike tires, rim locks. And now I just spent bank on putting full cartridge suspension in the front. I got piggyback shocks in the rear. I've got an extra inch of suspension travel in the rear now. What did you do? What brand did you go? So I got Andriani. They built me a set of custom cartridges for the front. So I got an extra inch of travel. So they built that special for my bike.
And then I went through A&J Cycles, hooked me up with Nitron. They put an order in over at the UK and built me special custom piggyback shocks. Don't break those fucking things, man. Right. Yeah, but it's a big deal because the bike is an inch taller. Well, probably about half an inch taller than stock is the way it works out. But yeah, I mean, it's a totally different machine, but it's still a blast to ride. Buddy gave me an old set of his Bonneville wheels so I can still run my old 1917 setup with street wheels and then put on my dirt bike wheels basically and get wild. That's awesome.
Yeah, fall's the best time to rise. I'm hoping to do some of that. And then I'm already laying out plans to rebuild my engine on my KTM. I need to do a top end on that this one. Nice, nice. We've got something to do. The snow's going to be here any minute now. Yeah. It's funny, because when we talked last, you were doing a lot of riding down there in Kentucky, like we had mentioned. And that's some serious stuff down there, man. Well, that's the Red River Scramble, the adventure rally I host, was just a few weeks ago. We had a record turnout. And now that's exactly it. It's people, once they get a taste of it, they can't stop doing it. So this is a cross-country race that you're in. And this is like a...
It's unlike your typical motocross track racing. This is actually, you're in the woods, you're on dirt roads, and you're following a course. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a hair scramble. They've got arrows up. And then this year we had, round four, we had 12 adventure bikes on the line. I solicited sponsors. I mean, we had cash payout for the podium this year for two races.
So guys are racing, you know, KTM, 1090s, 1290s, I think. Do we have 1290s? Well, we had a 990. You know, a Tenera 700. We had a Honda Africa Twin. So it's like engine size doesn't matter for this competition. So right now, because we're so small in Kentucky, they say anything that is 600ccs and up. So when I got cash, the XR 600Rs came out of the woodwork. But they didn't all, it wasn't all of them on the podium. Quite a few of those guys on XR still got beat by some of the guys on the bigger bikes. How long was the course when you did that?
Usually five or six miles. Really? Wow. And how many laps? Just one lap or two? No, it's as many laps as you can do in an hour. Oh, really? Wow. This season, which is over now, we were racing one hour with the adventure class, and we race with light sea, ladies, beginners, and anybody who wants a trail ride. And the course is a little bit easier than it is for the afternoon when the pros and the A and B guys race. Right. So that's nice because, I mean, obviously, bigger bike's dangerous. That's my worst fear is I just hate to make a mistake and have, you know, like a kid or somebody get hurt. Sure, sure. So it works out pretty well. Wow, that's really cool.
That's awesome. I'd like to see that. I'll send you pictures. Please do, yeah. We'll have to have you back on the show. We'll talk about this. That sounds like a lot of fun. I've got nothing else. Do you guys broadcast it or stream it on anything? No, it's tough, as you guys can imagine. Because of where we are typically in the valley where the parking's set up, I have a hard time getting cell service. A lot of times I text my wife before I get off the highway. Like, hey, I love you. I'll call you in three hours because you just know where we need service. Every now and then we luck out and we're up on a ridgeline somewhere.
and they can get data and they can do live timing. But I've said that before, even the AMA Pro races, I think that they're missing out by not getting more video captured of it because I think Woods Racing really is the heart of American dirt bike culture. Yeah, I feel like that'd be cool to watch. Oh, yeah. Motocross tends to get most of the press. But most of us, you know, we race, we wear GoPros. So, like, we're talking about those races. I have those races published on my YouTube channel, and I tend to cut them down to 10 minutes. I try to cut the fluff out. But occasionally, you know, I put this silly stuff in. Like, we're racing big bikes, and every now and then I like it.
stop the bike and help some kid get out you know like get unstuck because it's like he's in the best line for me i'd rather move him than make a risk with this yeah give us a give us what's your what's your youtube channel we'll give it a plug uh it's moto adventurer that's adventurer with an r on the end yeah if you look that up on youtube you'll you'll find me i have to check out those i have to subscribe to your channel because you're going to subscribe to my channel it's it's yeah i haven't put up as much content lately life has been been complicated but yeah i love doing it hey if you like to support the podcast get on over to buy us a coffee and don't buy some coffee so we can take your money and go spend it on well coffee Buy us at alcolax.com. I was just going to say, Tim needs all the emotium in the world after tomorrow. Oh, man. All right, guys. Well, I got nothing else. I want to thank Drew for being on the show today. It was a lot of fun. I hope you guys had fun. And it's Halloween, so get out there. Don't forget, we got our Christmas giveaway. It's going to be coming up in December. We're probably the second or third week. Let me see. Should I look at the calendar and figure it out? Well, either the 19th, 12th, or 5th, we're going to have it. So one of those threes. So one of those three days. So we're going to have that up, and you can enter and be part of the contest and get some good cool stuff. All right.
