Ahh yes the age old question, “are motorcycles the cheapest way to get around?” With cheap bikes, low insurance cost, high MPGs it should be a no brainer, but the answer isn’t always as simple as you may think. Spenser joins Zack and Spurgeon to break down the pros and cons of motorcycle ownership and whether motorcycles are really the best transport for the frugal! What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

0:00.0 | Hey, oh, everybody. Welcome to High Side, low side. This is Zach Courts coming at you live from the room next to my garage, and I'm here, as always, with Mr. Spurgeon Dunbar. |
0:15.0 | Hello, Zachary. It is a lovely Friday afternoon. We're recording this. I'm hopped up on caffeine. Hopefully, your day's going as energetic as minus. |
0:25.0 | Absolutely. I went from being too cold in the room next to my garage to to warm in the room next to my garage in about three weeks. |
0:31.0 | As we all know, Southern California weather is very fickle. Anyway, it's that time of year, though. It is the spring day. We're one day. It's 40 degrees in the next day. It's 80. It's true. |
0:41.0 | Today's agenda, as you well know, we will give away a t-shirt. We'll talk about the news. We have our lovely friend Spencer Robert on the program today. |
0:51.0 | The topic is, as you probably know, our motorcycles the cheapest way to get around. We're going to dive into what the heck we're talking about there eventually. |
1:02.0 | And then after that, of course, we'll answer some viewer listener comments and questions, which is arguably I'll have to share with my lawyer, but I think that's the favorite part of my show. |
1:11.0 | Really? Yeah, I think so. First things first, though, speaking of lawyers. We need to give a tip of the cap to our benevolent sponsor, no tool. |
1:25.0 | I like that the lawyers came into play there. Otherwise, the contract negotiation is going to go horribly wrong. Everything's fine with motool. |
1:34.0 | For our listeners out there, motool is very easy to work with. We don't need to get the lawyers involved usually. But talking about motool, I think it's important to note that one of the things that we try to do is incorporate motool in some of the live action performance things that we do. |
1:51.0 | And one of the bigger live action performance things that we do this year, especially is get on Adventure Fest. And the way that we gave back to our audience and our listeners last year in the Black Hills of South Dakota was we set up a little tent. |
2:05.0 | And every day when you came back in from riding off road, we had some motool chain cleaner and some motool off road chain loop. Now for you BMW shaft guys, you have no need for that. |
2:17.0 | But for everybody else out there riding an adventure bike that is not a shaft drive bike, we had a little station set up with motool and we were cleaning chains and lube and chains for everybody out there. |
2:29.0 | And if you didn't know how to do it yourself, even we did it for you. In some cases, I had Brandon get down on the ground and lube my chain just because it was easier to have him do it than you know, use my knees. |
2:40.0 | Fair enough. |
2:42.0 | So if you are headed to Sturgis for the second of our get on Adventure Fest this year, then get ready to get motooled. |
2:53.0 | And if you're working on one of the ads, I was just going to say, if you don't know what we're talking about, if you are an adventure rider out there or if you're a street rider that just wants to go on a three day scenic street tour, |
3:10.0 | there is a little bit of something for everyone, especially in the Sturgis location, really great riding for both on road and off road, you can check out Revzilla.com slash fest to read all about what we're talking about with get on Adventure Fest. |
3:24.0 | That's Revzilla.com slash fest. |
3:28.0 | Are we going to get into the NPR voice? |
3:33.0 | Let's get into giving away a t-shirt, shall we? |
3:35.0 | I think that's much more exciting than getting to NPR voices. |
