Podcast 656: When Tech Goes Too Far

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

At what point does new technology go too far? Many of the new features on bikes, such as the adaptive LED Matrix headlight on the new Tracer GT, are there for safety but they come at a price. Sometimes that price may shorten the longevity of the bike due to cost to repair, but that same technology might also save your life. We talk about some of these costly features and if they are truly worth it. We follow this up with a talk about old tech that might be ready to come back. We saw it happen with the Hondamatic that didn't last, but now Honda is taking another shot with both the DCT and auto clutch. Are we ready for turbos, anti dive suspension and 2 strokes to make a comeback? With Liza, Neal, Miss Emma, Matt from Milwaukee, Cat, Naked Jim and Bagel. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.breakingawayadventures.com/shop/p/mi…-rally-v4 www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT
