MC Nation Podcast

Hey everybody! I am excited to let everyone know that we have successfully moved the Motorcycle Nation Podcast to our own domain at http://mcnationpodcast.com If you are subscribed to the blog/podcast via RSS or iTunes you will need to go to the new site and update your feeds so that you will still receive the content. It has been a good run at Podbean and I thank them for what they offer to the beginning blogger / podcaster. Update your feeds at http://mcnationpodcast.com  in the upper right corner. Thank You and we will see you at home! Bullitt

This episode discusses the reason behind the move from Podbean to our own site. We also discuss and exciting upcoming event. It is a short one but one that I felt needed to be done. Follow the link given below next week to pick up the new feeds and see the new look. @mcnationpodcast.com email addresses are available. 1,197 available. Don’t you all rush me at once! Seriously, if you are interested, email me with what you want your address to be such as JoeRocket@mcnationpodcast.com and I will set you up an account.

Hope you all enjoyed part 1 of Motorcycle Wisdom. Today we will finish up the list. Again, I hope you find humor in some of these and I hope the others make you think. Some of them truly are wisdom. Winter is nature’s way to tell you to polish. Motorcycle boots are NOT comfortable for walking. That’s why they are called motorcycle boots. Sometimes the best communication happens when you are on separate bikes. Good coffee should be indistinguishable from 50 weight motor oil. The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome. A friend is someone who’ll get out of bed at 2 a.m. to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you’re broke down. Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary. If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can’t stop at every tavern. There’s something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer. Be careful. Don’t argue with an 18 wheeler, a bus, or even a car. Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit. ...

I recently received an email from a friend and fellow motorcyclist that contained motorcycle wisdom. I do not know who the original author was but if they contact me I will provide the obligatory reference if they can provide proof. Anyway, I found some of these to be very true and some just to be extremely funny. The list contains mostly motorcycle related references but some were just about basic life. I have only pulled my favorites from this list and leave them here for you. Amazingly, there are things to learn as well as the humor. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. If you have any that you don’t see here please leave them in comments! Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul. Life may begin at 30, but it doesn’t get interesting until about 60 mph. Midnight bugs taste just as bad as noon time bugs. (one of my faves) Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need. It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the ...

We left off last time after we had taken the training required to work the race. Then all we had to do was wait for the race. I did forget to mention one thing about the training day in the last post and that was where we were issued our jumpsuit that we would be wearing during the 3 days in September. We got full coverall jumpsuits that we wore and we were also required to provide our own gloves. The funny thing that we observed was that the jumpsuit had elastic cuffs on both the wrist and ankle area. It was understood that there was some safety reason for this but could not imagine how we were going to survive the heat of early September in Indiana. The firefighters let us ABATE guys, and gals, know that the normal suits they were required to wear during Indy and the Brickyard were much worse. I can’t imagine. Anyway, September 14th came and ABATE of Indiana was well represented. Besides the sixteen that were working corners, we provided further personnel to “man” some other res...

Hey everybody! Jump on over to http://mcnationpodcast.com and read this post. Part 2 will be up this weekend and I am hoping to have a podcast episode out this weekend as well which you will find right here. Things are not quite ready to do the podcast over at the other site so it will remain here for about another week. After next weekend I hope to be able to tell you that you can adjust your feeds and access only one site. For now, enjoy the post.

See this post at http://mcnationpodcast.com We are not moved yet so stay in touch!!!

All the posts from the Podbean site have been moved to here so that all the content is in one place. The site should be officially moved as of February 22nd. Please check back to get the updated feeds on or after the 22nd. i am not sure how iTunes is going to handle the switch. You may have to go to iTunes and update to the new feed because i am not sure at this point if it will automatically switch over. I am also contemplating having separate feeds for the blog and the podcast. i will provide an update on that closer to the change over date. For now, please add http://mcnationpodcast.com to your favorites so that you will be ready to start accessing the new site once it pops up. I will be double posting on both sites until the 22nd when I will drop the Podbean site and go strictly with my own domain. There will probably be one more podcast during this transition period and once moved, I hope to get on a more definite schedule for the podcast. The blog will continue to be a once or twice a week up...

Hey everybody! I am using this weekend to move the posts from this site over the new location Very soon I will make the total transition to the new site. You all will have to pay attention to both sites so that you do not miss out when we are gone from Podbean. For those of you that subscribe to the podcast feed in iTunes you will have to resubscribe once I change the link over to the new feed. There will be separate feeds for the blog and the podcast and you will have to make the required changes so that you continue to receive both. When I wrote the post about having to move soon I had no idea that soon would come so quickly. I attribute this to all of you that have shared with your friends and brought them to the motorcycle nation. I have been watching stats and have seen people from all over the world listening to the podcast. Alot from the US but I have also seen Ireland, Spain, UK, Canada, Japan, and Germany to name a few. Just since last week, we have jumped from using 47% of our all...

Send email to steve@mcnationpodcast.com Keep your eyes here and your ears on the podcast. Thanks to all of you and the friends you have sent we are filling up the allowable storage on this site and burning up bandwith like a bald tire at a burnout contest. I am working on bringing my old domain back up and will host everything myself. Make sure you keep up to date so that you can change your RSS link when the feed changes so you don’t miss an episode.
