Podcast 634: The Zontes and the Tornado

from Motorcycles & Misfits · host Re-Cycle Garage in Santa Cruz

Can a Chinese brand bike survive the Iron Butt Rally? 11,000 in 11 days. This is a question that will remain unanswered for now. Our friend and sometimes stunt Misfit Wendy Crockett attempted to prove that it is possible, but things did not go her way. And when we say it didn't go her way, the dead bike on the side of the road quickly because the smaller of her problems. So did the bike die because Chinese bikes are presumably cheaply made, or is it because it's just a first year model? This is more common than you think, and we talk about what may have gone wrong, other brands past issues, and which brands have the least issues when it comes to new designs. We also discuss Liza's Harley issue, Emma's CB1000 issues and if Neal has any secrets or not and we read listener emails.
