Dirt Bike Test Podcast

Old Pro Racing will tackle the 2026 Reno to Vegas (V2R The Other Way) on a JCR Honda for Dirt Bike Test. We talk about the plan and Jimmy drops some practice and training techniques for the boys.

If three bald dudes walk into a bar and two of them don't drink, you sorta get this episode of Tech Talk Taco Tuesday. Former TV host, former racer and half-assed pod show producer try not to deliver sponsor plugs and sometimes answer a tech question or two. But don't let a good story or some technical difficulties get in the way of a good time.

Who is the woman behind Jimmy Lewis? His wife Heather. Arguably a better rider, teacher, and definitely the brains behind the operation...

Johnny Campbell drops in on the Tech Talks and we don't miss out on the XR600R talk! Best bike ever???

Jimmy Tyler and Jimmy Lewis make bike noises and blame everyone else for the explosion!

What the hell is Jimmy gonna talk about tonight?

Jimmy solo's the show to answer your motorcycle and motorcycle product related questions. Even if you tried to watch it on @dirtbiketest Instagram with your short attention span and horrible ideas.

Mike Shirley, the creator of Rally Navigator comes in because... TACOS! Jimmy and Mike answer your motorcycle related questions and even take a call from our boss!

Nolan Cate and Bryce Shemp help Jimmy not be so boring and learn the ropes of co-hosting this weird and wonderful pod show.

Jimmy Lewis and Jimmy Tyler solve create the best trail bike in the world, get sponsored, all while thinking they know how to do a pod live cast show...

Like the three blind mice, these three bald dudes know more about motorcycles than you have forgotten, but will they talk about it? This is a motorcycle show, not a artistic or autistic rendition of old Three Stooges shows. Listen with caution.

#242--11X Baja 1000 Winner Johnny Campbell by Jimmy Lewis

Jimmy goes live to attempt a KTM300 Top End rebuild but things, as usual, go sideways. Do you want to listen to a seamless one-man mechanical show with multiple camera angles and great detail. We do too. And this show isn't that. It is Jimmy's ongoing experiment into making Tech Talk Taco Tuesday into the most copied vid-pod-blog-cast format known to man. Oh yea, wr rip the piston out of a KTM300 just to make sure it isn't made of clay.
